6. Dispatch and Return of DVDs and Games

a)  DVDs and Games can only be delivered to addresses in the Republic of Ireland.
b)  We will do our best to get the discs you have requested to you as quickly as possible. However, we do operate a fair use policy that aims to ensure a balanced experience for all our members. This means that we give priority to members who don't rent high numbers of discs from us. Therefore, members who rent the most discs from us might experience lower mailing priority. By allocating discs in this way we ensure a fair system for all Lidl Movies members. We reserve the right to vary our allocation criteria from time to time.
c)  Although we allow you to prioritise the order in which we send you discs, we cannot guarantee that you will always receive the title in the order shown in your rental queue.
d)  All DVDs and Games are posted in prepaid envelopes via An Post. As quoted in An Post's website, 90% of all post is delivered next day within the Republic of Ireland.
e)  You will not hold us responsible for any delays, outside our control, which relate to the mailing or delivery of discs.
f)  We provide you with one addressed, prepaid peel and seal reply envelope per disc sent to you to allow you to return the disc. If you lose the envelope for a disc we can send a replacement to you.
g)  You may also return any disc to us by placing the disc in its plastic case, putting the case into a standard envelope, and posting the envelope to:

Lidl Movies
PO Box 8615
FreePost
Blackrock
Co. Dublin

h)  If you lose the plastic disc case, you agree to ensure the disc does not get damaged when it is returned to us. You agree that LidlMovies may charge you €25 per DVD disc and €40 per Game disc for damage caused to discs returned without adequate protective packaging. Place the disc into a padded envelope, preferably with some thick cardboard to prevent it bending, and post it to the address above.
i)  We understand that occasionally discs are lost in the post. You agree to notify us promptly if you have not received, within five (5) working days, discs that are recorded on your "My Rental History" page as having been dispatched by us to you. Also you agree to notify us within five (5) working days of the date being posted by you, discs that are not recorded on your "My Rental History" page as having been received by us.
j)  We will not hold you liable for the cost of discs lost in the post provided that you promptly complete within seven (7) working days (from the date the missing disc has been reported) forms and declarations that we may require relating to the loss of such discs. You agree that we may charge you €25 for any DVD disc and €40 for any Game disc lost in the post if you do not promptly complete such forms or declarations.
k)  We reserve the right to cancel your membership if it becomes apparent that, in our sole opinion, the postal service in your area is too unreliable.
l)  We cannot be held responsible for items belonging to you or those belonging to a third party, which are sent to us in error. Where possible, we will try to return these items, but are unable to compensate you for the loss of such items and we shall have no liability therefore.

7. Treatment of Discs

a)  All DVDs and Games remain the property of Lidl Movies. You agree not to resell any discs supplied by us to you. You also agree not to copy, lend, make them available to hire, or allow any such unauthorised or illegal use to occur.
b)  You agree that you will not infringe any rights including intellectual property rights of any person including, without limitation, by copying, reproducing, screening, republishing or otherwise modifying any material provided as part or your LidlMovies membership.
c)  You agree to notify us immediately if any disc sent by us to you is defective and promptly return that disc to us with a note enclosed with type of defect. Following such notification we will send you another disc of the same title or another item from your rental queue, as soon as practicable.
d)  You agree to treat the discs and their associated packaging with the utmost care at all times. You agree that we may charge your credit card if it is returned in an unreasonable condition (reasonable wear and tear excepted). In this event, we will give you advance notice before charging you. We will charge you €25 per damaged DVD disc and €40 per Game disc.

8. Account Cancellation

a)  If you wish to cancel your subscription you must ensure you have COMPLETED the cancellation a minimum of two (2) working days prior to your Billing Date to avoid being charged a further month's subscription. We DO NOT provide refunds for cancellations part-way through the billing period.
b)  For instructions on how to cancel your membership go to your "My Account" section. LidlMovies reserves the right to change the instructions on how to cancel at any time.
c)  We must have received all discs in your possession before cancellation is effective. Cancellation will take effect from the day you cancel or the day all discs you have rented have been received by us, whichever is the later. If you cancel your subscription before your next Billing Date but we do not receive all outstanding discs from you before your Billing Date, you will be charged a further one month's subscription. You should therefore mail back any discs you have, leaving enough postal days for them to arrive with us prior to your next Billing Date. We recommend posting them at least five (5) working days prior to your Billing Date. When returning discs and cancelling your account, we advise obtaining a "Certificate of Posting" from your post office when posting our discs to us. Refunds will not be given for cancellations part-way through a billing period.
d)  You agree that we may charge you €25 for every outstanding DVD or €40 for every Game that is not received by us within thirty (30) days of cancellation of your subscription. If you were subscribed to our newsletter, we will continue to send this to you unless you choose to unsubscribe.
e)  We may cancel or suspend your subscription at any time. Without limiting this general right, we will cancel your subscription immediately and without notice to you if we have reasonable grounds to believe that you have breached any of these Terms and Conditions or behaved in a manner that we deem unreasonable or contrary to the spirit of these Terms and Conditions.

9. Privacy Policy

a)  It is our policy to respect the privacy of our members. Lidl Movies will not edit or disclose any personal information about you without your prior consent. We will also not rent or sell any data which may personally identify you to any third party.
