Terms & conditions

Dustid is the trading name used by Addressless Mailing Ltd., a registered business under the laws of England and Wales having a Business Address at 125 Roseneath Road Urmston Manchester M415AY with Company Number 09509382.

Dustid is an innovative service for both Retail Websites and the people who shop on Retail Websites. It solves the problem for purchasers of having to know the current shipping address of people they wish to purchase items for online. Dustid operates a Community Database for registered Community Users to store their up-to-date shipping address and mobile number. Their mobile number then becomes the only information anyone needs to have to send that Community User a gift from a Retail Website that uses the DustiD application.  For Retail Websites they are able to provide a simple way to speed up the ordering process for a purchaser by allowing the purchaser to simply enter the recipient’s mobile number when completing an order. The Retail Website will then be provided the recipient’s shipping address on a one-time-use basis from the Community Database to complete the order.

This Agreement explains the terms and conditions on which Dustid provides retail websites with tools for the customers to access the Community database on a licence fee basis.  This Agreement is entered into between Dustid and the Retail Website Company (herein after referred to as “Retailer”).

Use of Dustid Service and Functionality

  • Dustid has a Community database populated by Community users.  Community users provide Dustid with their mobile number(s) and their preferred shipping address. The registered Community user can then notify their friends and family, or whoever else they wish that they are registered with Dustid so no matter where they live, if they have registered their mobile number and kept their shipping address up to date, they will always be able to have gifts or other items shipped to them.  All they need to give out to their friends and family is their mobile number and it’s ‘Done and Dustid’.

 

  • This Community database is available for the purpose of centralising data for the use of the Community so that their friends and family can purchase gifts and other items from any retail website using the Dustid application without having to enter a physical address for shipping.  The Community user only needs to provide their mobile phone details. The person making the purchase with the Retailer would then be able to enter that mobile number through the Dustid application and the Retailer is able to ship to the associated address.

 

  • The Retailer embeds the Dustid application on its website at the point in the check out process where a shipping address is normally supplied.  Retail customers who use the Dustid Community or is purchasing a gift or product to be sent to another registered Community member would select the Dustid option and enter the mobile number for the recipient. The purchaser would then receive confirmation that the mobile phone number entered is a registered number of the Dustid Community database and a shipping address is available for the Retailer. If the mobile number entered is not registered with the Dustid database then they will receive a notice that this is not a registered number with Dustid and they will need to proceed to checkout using an alternate address for shipping.

 

  • Once this process is completed the Retailer will be provided from the Dustid Community database the shipping address on a one time basis in order to complete the shipping process.  The Retailer is not permitted to maintain this address for any other purpose other than the limited purpose of shipping on a single order.  The shipping address information must be kept for only the shortest amount of time feasible to insure shipping has been successful.

 Payments

Payments for all Dustid licence agreements fees are due in advance unless otherwise agreed in writing between the Retailer and Dustid.  Annual fees will be collected automatically unless otherwise indicated by the Retailer.

When the Retailer has chosen a licence package an invoice will be sent by email for the total amount due and will give provided payment options.

  •  Additional click bundles – for those purchasing a free use licence and exceed the initial click-through, additional smaller bundles can be purchased at any time by notifying Dustid customer service. An invoice for those clicks-through will be provided and upon payment the click-through will be added to the Retailer’s Dustid App service.

Set Up

Dustid will collaborate with the Retailer’s web developer on integration of the Dustid feature into the Retailer’s checkout system on their retail website.  The set up process may begin before the full licence fee has been paid however full functionality of the Dustid application during checkout will not be made available until the full licence fee is paid.

If at any time after initial set up the Retailer wishes to switch from either a free licence to a per user licence to an annual licence they may do so at any time by notifying Dustid customer service, an invoice will be provided for the upgrade in service and implemented through the Dustid application on the retail website as soon as the invoice is paid.

Termination and Cancellation

Cancellation

  • A Retailer may cancel their licence agreement at any time by giving 30 days written notice however except in very limited circumstances there will be no refund for licence fees whether annual or per use.  One such exception will be any cancellation of licence within the seven days after purchase of the initial licence.

  • Annual licences are renewed automatically each year unless the Retailer gives at least 30 days written notice that they wish to terminate the licence at the end of that period. Annual periods run from the date the first annual licence fee is paid (or cleared in the case of the BACS payments).

  • Retailer’s information will be removed from the system once cancellation has been acknowledged and the end of any annual licence period has finished.  Information may remain on the Dustid system for up to a year after cancellation though and cannot be removed sooner as it may interfere with the integrity of the Dustid database system.

  • Upon cancellation the Retailer will be required to remove the Dustid application and Branding from their website as well as any addresses currently being stored for the limited purpose of shipping to a recipient.  Any Retailer who does not remove the DustiD application and branding from their retail website within 45 days of cancelling the licence agreement will be charged on a monthly basis in the amount equalling 50% of the license fee previously purchased as compensation for use of the DustiD branding on their website without express permission under a licence agreement.  The charge will continue on a monthly basis for Per Use licenses and annually for Annual Unlimited licenses until the branding is removed.

 Termination by Retailer

If after the 10 days Dustid is unable to remedy the breach then the Retailer may notify Dustid that the licence is formally terminated.  The amount if any that would be refunded to the Retailer will be determined at the time of the breach and based on the individual circumstances of the breach.  At no time with Dustid be liable to pay to the Retailer under this clause any more than was paid by the Retailer within the current year under this licence agreement.
