Welcome to WhyBuyGames - Built by Gamers for Gamers!

By visiting the WhyBuyGames web site or any third party website powered by WhyBuyGames.com, and subscribing to our online Games rental service, you agree to be bound by the following terms of use. If you do not agree with these terms of use, you should not use the WhyBuyGames web site. Please read them carefully:

Joining WhyBuyGames
Customers must be at least 18 years of age and have a valid credit card/debit card in order to join WhyBuyGames. When completing the registration form, you agree to provide true, accurate, current and correct information about yourself. You also agree to maintain and update your information within the 'My Account' pages.

If WhyBuyGames has reasonable grounds to suspect that such information is untrue, inaccurate, not current or incomplete, WhyBuyGames has the right to suspend or terminate your account and refuse any and all current or future use of the WhyBuyGames service.

Delivery and Return of Games
WhyBuyGames uses the Royal Mail to deliver games to and receive games from you. Please allow for Royal Mail delivery times. WhyBuyGames is not responsible for delayed or misdirected mail. Return postage of rented games is paid by WhyBuyGames. We advise obtaining a 'Proof of Postage' receipt from the Royal Mail when returning your games to confirm they have been accepted in the postal system to be returned to WhyBuyGames. These can be obtained free of charge from any Royal Mail or Post Office counter at the time of posting. Any games which are reported as missing on your account will require an investigation with the Royal Mail to verify their loss. Games reported as missing on your account will require you to provide a 'Proof of Postage' receipt to validate your claim. WhyBuyGames reserves the right to debit your credit/debit card the Recommended Retail Price for any missing games to your account which are not accompanied with a valid 'Proof of Postage' receipt.

Any games reported by you as not being received will require you to complete a Royal Mail claim form for the missing games. Failure to sign and return the claim form to WhyBuyGames is deemed that you do not support the claim and WhyBuyGames reserve the right to debit your account £33.99 for the missing items. Claim forms must be returned to WhyBuyGames via recorded delivery within 7 working days of receipt to avoid charges of £33.99 being applied to your account.

Free Trial Periods
The free trial is available to new subscribers only. The free trial may not be made available from time to time. WhyBuyGames may change the duration of the free trial period at its sole discretion. Previous subscribers do not qualify for a free trial period. The free trial is available to one member of a household only. Subsequent free trials at the same address will be permitted only at the discretion of WhyBuyGames. A valid credit card is required. We will authorize the card in the amount of £33.99 in order to verify the account, but we receive no money from this transaction, even if your bank or credit card company temporarily holds the funds from your account.

Renting Games
Rental requests are fulfilled Monday to Friday. We will send you a confirmation email when you return a game and when we send you another game. You can view currently rented items by accessing your account and visiting the 'Currently Rented Items' page. All games remain the property of WhyBuyGames at all times. Games must not be sold on or made available to hire by the subscriber. You may not copy or alter any rented game in any way. Please handle the games with care so as not to damage them. The subscriber undertakes to treat the games and their associated packaging with the utmost care at all times. WhyBuyGames reserves the right to debit the subscribers' credit/debit card the current Recommended Retail Price of any game which is returned in a non re-usable condition (reasonable wear and tear excepted). The Recommended Retail Price constitutes the most competitive retail price available to WhyBuyGames. WhyBuyGames will contact the subscriber to discuss this before debiting the subscribers' credit/debit card. Occasionally games may be lost in the post. In this situation, WhyBuyGames may, at their sole discretion, dispatch a replacement of the expected game.

Payment
We will take payment from your account 28 days after your first billing date. You will be notified by email that WhyBuyGames.com will be taking payment 7 days then 3 days before the actual billing date. If your credit card details fail when processing the payment, your account will be suspended immediately and you will be notified via email that payment has failed. If your credit card details fail and you have games in your possession you will be contacted by a member of the WhyBuyGames staff asking to update your card details immediately and you will be charged your monthly fee and an addition administration fee of £5.00. If your payment information remain invalid we will pass on your details to our solicitors and legal action will start to obtain the missing games or the equivalent cost and any outstanding membership fees.

Lost/ Unreturned / Damaged Games
You agree to allow us to charge your credit/debit card for the recommended retail price of a game in the following situations:

• If you have not returned a game to us within 7 days of setting a request to cancel against your account or cancelling your free trial or paid subscription;
• If you have lost a game and reported it to us as lost without proof of postage;
• or If you have damaged a game whether or not you reported it to us as damaged.

Cancelling the Service by the Subscriber
You may cancel your WhyBuyGames subscription at any time. Requests to terminate the subscription must be made via the WhyBuyGames web site. To cancel your account press the 'Cancel Membership' button in the 'My Membership' section of your account. Alternatively, if you still have games outstanding on your account, please email your full name and 'Cancel Membership' in the subject field of your email to CustomerServices@WhyBuyGames.com and a cancellation request will be logged against your account.

Cancelling your account will stop further games being despatched to you. The cancellation will only take effect and billing will stop once all your currently rented games have been returned and received by WhyBuyGames. Please ensure your existing games rentals are returned and received by WhyBuyGames before your next billing date to prevent your account being billed for another monthly subscription.

Failure to return your existing games rentals within 7 days of a cancellation request being set on your account will also result in your credit/debit card being charged the recommended retail price of all outstanding games on your account. Please note refunds will not be given for cancellations part way through a billing period.

Returning Games for Account Cancellation
When returning games prior to cancelling your account, we require you to obtain a 'Proof of Postage' receipt from the Royal Mail to confirm the games have been returned safely and before your next billing date. A 'Proof of Postage' Receipt can be obtained at any Royal Mail or Post Office counter and is free of charge. This will prevent any further charges being made to your account for non returned games. Any games lost in transit prior to or after cancellation without a 'Proof of Postage' receipt will be deemed as lost by the customer. WhyBuyGames reserves the right to debit the subscribers' credit/debit card the current Recommended Retail Price of any lost game.

Right to Terminate by WhyBuyGames
WhyBuyGames reserves the right, at any time, to cancel the subscription of any subscriber without being obliged to give any reason for so doing, except that if such cancellation takes place during a billing period for a reason other than a breach of these terms and conditions by the subscriber, WhyBuyGames will refund any pre-paid subscription unutilised at the time of cancellation.
