Terms & Conditions

The following terms and conditions set out the basis on which you can use our website and place orders for items from Proto-col. By ordering goods from Proto-col you are deemed to have understood and accepted these terms, so please read them carefully.

Stock availability

We try to keep everything in stock, however this isn't always possible. If an item is out of stock, we will email you within 2 working days of placing your order. Please email hello@proto-col.com or telephone us on 0333 000 7788 to check stock availability if delivery of your order is urgent.

Delivery & Returns

Please review our Delivery & Returns page for our current delivery & returns policies.

Special offers

Unless otherwise stated, Proto-col special offers are available to retail customers only.   This includes weekly e-shot offers and direct mail special offers. If an offer is available to other customer groups (e.g. trade) we will clearly state within the offer and notify all customers concerned. Proto-col special offers and discount codes cannot be used in conjunction with any other offers such as subscriptions on the site, and are a one-time only use unless specifically stated otherwise.

Subscription information including cancellation

By purchasing a subscription, you acknowledge that your subscription has an initial and recurring payment feature and you accept responsibility for all recurring charges prior to cancellation.

After your first order, your subscription will be automatically extended for successive periods, at the corresponding subscription rate.

Subscriptions can be skipped or cancelled at any time within the account section on the website. The account section of the website is unique to you. It requires you to log in to make the changes that you want.

If wish to cancel or pause your subscription you will have to do so 24 hours before your subscription renews. The date of this will depend on the day you took out the initial subscription and the length of your subscription. For example, if you have taken out a subscription on 1st May for our 15-day pack, you would have to cancel on the 14th day before midnight to cancel your subscription. This would apply to any subsequent 15 day period. If you cancel after this date your payment will still be taken and the product will still be shipped.

Over prolonged holiday periods such as Christmas and Easter your order may arrive a few days earlier than normal or a few days late as our working patterns and service levels may fluctuate at this time. We ask for your understanding and flexibility at such times.

If in the rare circumstance the product becomes out of stock, we will back fill any missed orders as soon as the product becomes available again and we’re committed to keeping you updated by email.

We reserve the right to revoke your subscription at any time as a result of a violation of our Terms or the Privacy Policy.

Due to the 3rd party application who we use to deliver our subscription technology we unfortunately cannot take payment using American Express. However this payment option can be used to pay for single items but not for subscriptions at this current time.

Please note you cannot redeem loyalty points, use refer a friend codes or use any discount codes when ordering subscriptions.

Does Proto-col share the information it receives?

We respect your privacy and appreciate your business. At no time do we ever provide your account contact or payment information to any third party vendor, associate or service provider unless absolutely necessary in order to complete your transaction and order.

How secure is information about me?

We work to protect the security of your information during transmission by using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) software, which encrypts information you provide to us for purchasing of our products or services. We reveal only the last four digits of your credit card numbers when confirming an order. Of course, we transmit the entire credit card number to the appropriate credit card company during order processing. It is important for you to protect against unauthorized access to your password and to your computer. Be sure to sign off when finished using a shared computer by clicking the "log off" link located in the side menu.

    Mobile Terms of Service

    Proto-col

    Last updated: June 6, 2023

    The Proto-col mobile message service (the "Service") is operated by Proto-col (“Proto-col”, “we”, or “us”). Your use of the Service constitutes your agreement to these terms and conditions (“Mobile Terms”). We may modify or cancel the Service or any of its features without notice. To the extent permitted by applicable law, we may also modify these Mobile Terms at any time and your continued use of the Service following the effective date of any such changes shall constitute your acceptance of such changes.

    By consenting to Proto-col’s SMS/text messaging service, you agree to receive recurring SMS/text messages from and on behalf of Proto-col through your wireless provider to the mobile number you provided, even if your mobile number is registered on any state or federal Do Not Call list. Text messages may be sent using an automatic telephone dialing system or other technology. Service-related messages may include updates, alerts, and information (e.g., order updates, account alerts, etc.). Promotional messages may include promotions, specials, and other marketing offers (e.g., cart reminders).

    You understand that you do not have to sign up for this program in order to make any purchases, and your consent is not a condition of any purchase with Proto-col. Your participation in this program is completely voluntary.

    We do not charge for the Service, but you are responsible for all charges and fees associated with text messaging imposed by your wireless provider. Message frequency varies. Message and data rates may apply. Check your mobile plan and contact your wireless provider for details. You are solely responsible for all charges related to SMS/text messages, including charges from your wireless provider.

    You may opt-out of the Service at any time. Text the single keyword command STOP to Protocol or click the unsubscribe link (where available) in any text message to cancel. You'll receive a one-time opt-out confirmation text message. No further messages will be sent to your mobile device, unless initiated by you. If you have subscribed to other Proto-col mobile message programs and wish to cancel, except where applicable law requires otherwise, you will need to opt out separately from those programs by following the instructions provided in their respective mobile terms.

    For Service support or assistance, text HELP to Protocol or email hello@proto-col.com.

    We may change any short code or telephone number we use to operate the Service at any time and will notify you of these changes. You acknowledge that any messages, including any STOP or HELP requests, you send to a short code or telephone number we have changed may not be received and we will not be responsible for honoring requests made in such messages.

    The wireless carriers supported by the Service are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages. You agree to provide us with a valid mobile number. If you get a new mobile number, you will need to sign up for the program with your new number.

    To the extent permitted by applicable law, you agree that we will not be liable for failed, delayed, or misdirected delivery of any information sent through the Service, any errors in such information, and/or any action you may or may not take in reliance on the information or Service.

    We respect your right to privacy. To see how we collect and use your personal information, please see our Privacy Notice.
