Gift Membership Cards and e-Gift Membership Vouchers

14. There are two ways to give Picturehouse Membership as a gift, by purchasing a Gift Membership Card in cinema or an e-Gift Membership Voucher online at picturehouses.com/gift-shop. Picturehouse Cinemas Limited operates the Picturehouse Membership scheme and issues the Gift Membership Cards and e-Gift Membership Vouchers and their corresponding Voucher Codes. Full details of the Picturehouse Membership Scheme are available here and the Picturehouse Membership terms and conditions can be viewed here.

15. Gift Membership Cards

The Gift Membership Card is a Gift Card issued by Picturehouse which has been credited with sufficient value to enable the User to purchase 12 months' Picturehouse membership (Membership) for the type of Membership selected at the time of purchase of the Gift Membership Card.
The User can redeem the value on the Gift Membership Card at any Picturehouse cinema, during the card's validity period, to purchase a 12 month fixed term Picturehouse Membership for themselves. The Gift Membership Card may not be redeemed for Membership online. The User would be required to make a supplementary payment at the time of redemption of the Gift Membership Card if the price of the relevant 12 months' Membership chosen is greater than the amount credited to the Membership Gift Card (for example if the price of the relevant Membership has increased since the date of purchase of the Membership Gift Card or if the User chooses a more expensive type of Membership than the type of Membership gifted).
As the Gift Membership Card will be credited with a specific value rather than a credit for a specific Membership, the Gift Membership Card may be used to purchase cinema tickets, food and drink instead of Membership if preferred and the terms and conditions for Gift Cards will apply to the Gift Membership Card (except that a Gift Membership Card may only be redeemed in cinema and not online).

16. e-Gift Membership Vouchers

The e-Gift Membership voucher is a voucher which can be purchased online at picturehouses.com/gift-shop and redeemed on the Picturehouse website for a pre-paid 12 month fixed term Picturehouse Membership (Membership) for the type of Membership selected at the time of purchase of the e-Gift Membership voucher. e-Gift Membership vouchers are only available for purchase online.

18. The person who redeems the e-Gift Membership voucher or Gift Membership Card for a Membership must be eligible to sign-up for Membership. This means they must be aged 16 or over and resident in the UK or Republic of Ireland and any other eligibility criteria relevant to the type of Membership purchased.

19. When redeeming the e-Gift Membership voucher or Gift Membership Card and completing the Membership sign-up process, the User must create a My Picturehouse account (if they don't already have one), provide their name, date of birth and email address and agree to the Picturehouse Membership Terms and Conditions. They'll also be asked to confirm they have read the Picturehouse Privacy Policy. The Membership will start when the User has redeemed the e-Gift Membership voucher and successfully completed the Membership sign-up process.

20. The e-Gift Membership voucher or Gift Membership Card will be valid for 24 months from the date of purchase.

All film screenings are subject to normal restrictions such as age certifications, and to Picturehouse Cinemas' Terms of Admission. The Member shall have no preferential rights of access to any screenings, except special screenings organised for Members.
The Membership card must be shown when the tickets (including e-tickets) are checked before entering the relevant auditorium. Entrance will not be permitted without the Member presenting the Membership card.

Displaying your Membership Card

Where you are required to display your Membership card at the cinema, for example to claim Member discounts and offers, you may show your physical Membership card (if you have one) or your virtual Membership card on your mobile device:

By logging in to your MyPicturehouse Account on the website and clicking "View card" in the Overview section of your account; or
on the App, by tapping the menu button in the top left of the screen and then tapping the QR code then displayed in the top left.

Additional benefits if you are upgraded to Premium Membership

If you have standard Membership or Membership Plus and you have been upgraded to Premium Membership (please see clause 12 below), you will receive the following additional benefits:

no upgrade fees or additional charges for 3D films (although a charge may be payable for the purchase of 3D glasses);
20% off food and beverages purchased in every Picturehouse Cinema

Founder Membership Offer

Sometimes, when we open a new cinema, we offer a limited number of Founder Memberships to the first cohort of new members who sign up for Picturehouse Membership and choose that cinema as their Home Cinema. Founder Membership includes all of the usual benefits of regular Membership (depending on the Membership type selected) plus those extra Founder Member benefits as advertised on the Picturehouse website or blog at the time of purchase.
Founder Memberships are made available at Picturehouse's discretion, are limited in number and may be withdrawn or amended at any time without notice prior to purchase.
Where your Founder Membership benefits include the opportunity for your name to be included on the Founder Members' Wall (the "Wall"), your name (or abbreviated form), as written on your Membership application, will be included on the Wall unless you tell us that you do not want your name to be included on the Wall (opt-out) prior to the artwork being created. We will contact you by email after your purchase, once the full quota of new members have joined the relevant new cinema, to let you know how you can opt-out and the last date for submitting your opt-out to us. Please note, opt-outs received after this date may not be accepted as once the Wall artwork has been created we may not be able and are not obliged to change it.
The Wall will be a specially commissioned, striking piece of artwork displayed within a public area of the cinema. All elements of the Wall design, any changes and choice of when and where to display within the cinema will be at Picturehouse's sole discretion. The Wall will only be created once we have the full quota of names for the Wall, which may take a number of months after the new cinema has opened.

8. PAYMENT OF ANNUAL MEMBERSHIP FEES

The annual Membership fee for each type of Membership is available from our website, Picturehouse Cinemas and the Membership Helpline or notified to you during the Membership application process and includes VAT. If the rate of VAT changes between your order date and the date we supply our services, we will adjust the rate of VAT that you pay, unless you have already paid for the Membership in full before the change in the rate of VAT takes effect.
The annual Membership fee must be paid in advance at the same time as applying for or renewing Membership.
Payment can be made online using a debit, credit or charge card or PayPal, or by redeeming an e-Gift Membership Voucher (but not Picturehouse Gift Cards or e-Gift Vouchers). We accept these payment methods in cinema as well as payment using Picturehouse gift cards and e-Gift vouchers. We accept all major credit or debit cards, including VISA, Mastercard and American Express.
Payment for Recurring Annual Subscriptions may only be made using debit, credit card or American Express (not PayPal or other payment method) as you'll be providing continuous payment authority, with permission for us to charge your payment card for your membership fees each year when your Membership automatically renews.
During the checkout process (if you are applying online) you will be asked for your payment details. By completing these you are confirming that the bank account information / debit or credit card/PayPal account ("Payment Card") is yours and you are authorising us to charge you the relevant Membership fees at the then current rate to your Payment Card.
All payments are subject to authorisation by your card issuer or by PayPal when you pay using your PayPal account.
To make any payment by credit, debit or charge card, you must provide the cardholder's name and email address, the card number, the card security code, the card expiry date and (where applicable) the card start date and/or issue number.
We reserve the right to increase the annual Membership fee but this will not affect any order you have already placed and which we have accepted for the relevant Membership period before the increase took effect. The increased fee will apply to your next Membership renewal, and details will be available from the website.
We make every effort to ensure that the correct prices are displayed on our website. However, if we realise services have been given the wrong price, we will correct this without delay.
If we discover an error in the price of the Membership or any other services you have ordered before they are provided to you, we will contact you to inform you of this error and will give you the option of continuing to purchase at the correct price or cancelling your order. If we are unable to contact you, we will treat the order as cancelled and notify you accordingly.
Please note that if a pricing error is obvious and unmistakable and could have reasonably been recognised by you as a mispricing, we do not have to provide our services to you at the incorrect (lower) price.

9. AUTOMATIC RENEWAL IF PAYING BY DIRECT DEBIT (NOT AVAILABLE FOR NEW MEMBERS)

If you choose to make continuous payment by Direct Debit with your bank, your Membership subscription will automatically continue at the end of your Membership period and the Membership period will be extended for a further year unless you notify us you do not wish to renew.
We will notify you at least 30 days in advance of your next renewal period to remind you that your current membership period will soon be expiring and let you know any changes to your Membership fee that will apply upon next renewal.
If you want to change the bank account to be debited, you may telephone the Membership Helpline to provide the new Direct Debit details. You will need to cancel your old Direct Debit instruction directly with your bank. You must give us at least three (3) weeks to process these changes.
If you don't want your Membership to automatically renew, you must let us know at least three (3) weeks before the end of your Membership period by contacting the Membership Helpline by phone or in writing by post or email (sent from the email address associated with your My Picturehouse account).
You may also cancel your Membership within the first 14 days after each annual renewal of your Membership, as detailed in clause 5 (Cancellation Rights) above.

10. AUTOMATIC RENEWAL OF ONLINE MEMBERSHIPS

Where you pay for your Membership using the Recurring Annual Subscription option, your Membership will automatically renew at the end of each 12 month Membership period, your Membership fees will be charged to your Payment Card on or within three (3) days of the renewal date, and the Membership period will be extended for a further year unless you notify us in advance that you do not wish to renew. You authorize Picturehouse to charge Membership Fees and any other sums payable by you under these Terms to your Payment Card.
We will notify you at least 30 days in advance of your next renewal period to remind you that your current membership period will soon be expiring and let you know the Membership fee that will apply upon next renewal.
As your Membership Fees will be payable annually by recurring credit, debit or charge card payment, you must have a valid Payment Card associated with your Membership at all times. You may change the Payment Card to be debited by updating the Payment Card details in your My Picturehouse account.
If you don't want your Membership to automatically renew, you may cancel the renewal of your membership either:

through your My Picturehouse account, by clicking the 'cancel' button and following the steps on screen (where functionality is available); or
by contacting the Membership Helpline by phone or in writing by post or email (sent from the email address associated with your My Picturehouse account) Please ensure you let us know using one of the above methods at least 5 days before the end of your current Membership period, to avoid being charged for your next renewal.

You can also cancel your Membership within the first 14 days after each annual renewal of your Membership, as detailed in clause 5 (Cancellation Rights) above.
Payments for Membership Fees for renewals will start processing three (3) days in advance of your payment due date. If any card payment is rejected or otherwise unsuccessful (including due to inaccurate or outdated Payment Card information), Picturehouse will make a maximum of five attempts to charge your Payment Card to take payment. If our attempt(s) to take payment are unsuccessful, Picturehouse may notify you and your Membership will automatically terminate on the renewal date. After that time, you may apply to purchase a new Membership via your My Picturehouse account, although the upgrade to Premium Membership will not be available during the first year of your new Membership.
If You cancel automatic payments from your Payment Card, Picturehouse may cancel your Membership without refund.
Picturehouse may charge you, and you are responsible for, any and all outstanding Membership Fees and any expenses reasonably incurred by Picturehouse in connection with your unpaid Membership Fees.

11. RENEWAL 12 MONTH ONLY MEMBERSHIPS

Where your Membership is for 12 months only (One Off Payment), your Membership will last for one year only and will not automatically renew.
We will send you some renewal reminders by email during the last six weeks of your 12 month Membership period.
You may renew your Membership at any time during the last month of your current Membership period. Renewals may be purchased online through your MyPicturehouse account by clicking the 'Renew' button in your MyPicturehouse account and following the steps on screen. The fees for your next 12 months of membership will be displayed in the onscreen renewals process and will also be available in advance from the website.
It is not possible to renew your Membership in our cinemas or by phone (even if you purchased your initial Membership in cinema).
If you renew before the end of your current Membership period, your Membership will start the date after your current Membership expires and you'll qualify for the upgrade to Premium Membership (see clause 12 below). If you renew after your old membership has expired, your new membership will start straight away but you won't receive the benefits of the Premium Membership.

12. UPGRADES TO PICTUREHOUSE PREMIUM MEMBERSHIP AND OTHER OFFERS

We will automatically upgrade your standard Membership or Membership Plus (but not your Student Membership) to Premium Membership (at no extra charge) if your Membership continues after your first year provided that the Membership fees for the renewal period have been paid before expiry of your first Membership year. This means you will continue to enjoy the benefits of your Standard Membership or Membership Plus with the extra benefits of Premium Membership (please see clause 7(15) for more details). As long as you keep renewing before your Membership expires, this upgrade to Premium Membership will also apply to every Membership year after this year. If you cease to be a Member and you wish to become a Member again, you will need to purchase a standard Membership (or Membership Plus) for one year before you will be entitled to an upgrade to Premium Membership again.
We may also make other offers available to you at the date of renewal (or otherwise) but such offers are discretionary and may be withdrawn or changed by us from time to time. Details of current offers (if any) will be published on our website.

13. LOST, STOLEN OR DEFECTIVE CARDS

You will need to telephone the Membership Helpline as soon as possible to report any lost or stolen physical Membership card or unauthorized access to your My Picturehouse account or virtual Membership card and follow the steps advised by the Membership Helpline to secure your account. If you need to replace your current physical card, you will be able to collect a replacement card at any Picturehouse Cinema, if you can answer certain security questions (for example, your name and membership number) to allow staff to access your account. Alternatively, you may use your virtual Membership card located in your MyPicturehouse account and display on your mobile device. No physical cards will be issued to Members who signed up for Membership online.
For the avoidance of doubt, no refunds will be given for cinema tickets purchased by you between the date the card was lost, stolen or damaged or a replacement card was requested and the date you receive your new physical Membership card.
We may charge an administration fee for each replacement physical Membership card we have to issue. You can also access a digital version of your Membership card in the Picturehouse App.

14. CHANGES

We may make minor changes to these terms and conditions from time to time to correct errors, to clarify terms, to comply with any law or regulation that applies to us, or to update these terms and conditions to reflect changes to the way our systems work or enhancements to the Membership scheme. You will not be specifically notified of such changes, but they will be on our website. To see the most up-to-date version of these terms and conditions, please always check our website. No such changes shall disadvantage you or a Picturehouse Member.
Additionally, we reserve the right to make other more material changes to these terms and conditions in which case we will notify you of the change by contacting you using the details you have provided. This will usually be by email but we may contact you using a different method of communication, for example by post. If these changes are to your disadvantage, you may terminate your Membership within 30 days from the date we have notified you of the changes. In order to do so you must notify us in writing of your request to terminate, stating the reason for termination. Following receipt of your termination notice we will refund the Membership fee paid by you after deducting an amount equal to the value of the use of the Membership Card by you prior to the termination date. Refunds will be paid back to the credit, debit or charge card or other method of payment used by you in purchasing the Membership (or such other method as we may need to use, such as BACS transfer) as soon as reasonably practicable. On termination, we will deactivate your Membership card.

15. INFORMATION PROVIDED

You confirm that the personal information you provide that identifies you (including contact information) is accurate and complete, and that you are authorised to provide such personal information.

If you signed up for your Membership using an e-Gift Membership Voucher, someone else has paid for your Membership so you won't receive a refund.

17. YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS

We may close or suspend the Picturehouse Membership scheme at any time and for any reason on not less than 30 days' notice in writing to you and/or by posting a notice online on the Picturehouse website.

Picturehouse reserves the right not to accept orders.
The email confirmation of an order will attach the concessions voucher which will set out the details of the retail items selected together with a unique 'order reference number'.Other than the rights to cancel during the cancellation period as detailed below, once this confirmation has been sent, the purchase price is non-refundable and no changes may be made to the order. Picturehouse is not responsible in the event that the User selects the wrong retail items when placing an order via the Website.
By purchasing a concessions voucher the User is expressly requesting the ability to use the concessions voucher as soon as they receive it. The User can pick up their retail items at the Click and Collect point (where available) or the Concession Counter of their selected Picturehouse cinema following receipt of confirmation of the order.
The User will need to present either (i) the printed concessions voucher or (ii) the order reference, or (iii) the payment card used to place the order for the concessions voucher at the Concession Counter of the chosen Picturehouse cinema, in order to collect the relevant retail items. Where Picturehouse has advised the User that e-ticketing is available for a particular booking, the User may present their e-ticket (included in their email confirmation of an order on their mobile phone or on a print out to be checked by a Picturehouse staff member at the Concession Counter to collect the relevant retail items or request that their concessions voucher is printed.
When the User redeems all or part of the concessions voucher the retail items collected will be deducted from the balance on the concessions voucher. The User must collect their retail items within 3 months of the date of purchase of the concessions voucher. Any retail items included on the concessions voucher which are not collected within that 3 month period will be cancelled and no refund will be given.
Picturehouse will endeavour to supply all retail items specified on the concessions voucher on presentation of the relevant concessions voucher, but reserves the right to substitute the chosen retail items with alternative products of an equivalent or greater value where not available.
To make any payment by credit/debit, the User must provide the cardholder's name and email address, the card number, the card security code, the card expiry date and (where applicable) the card start date and/or issue number.

Concessions vouchers may not be exchanged for cash. Other taxes or costs may exist in relation to the concessions voucher that are not imposed by Picturehouse.
The concessions voucher does not entitle the User to preferential treatment over other Picturehouse customers for the collection of retail items.
Where Picturehouse Members are entitled to claim discounts on retail items, they must do so in-cinema as discounts may not be claimed for retail items or concessions vouchers ordered through the Website or App.

Cancellation Rights
The User may cancel their order for retail items and claim a refund by cancelling the concessions voucher at any time up to fifteen (15) calendar days from (and including) the day on which the User receives the email confirming acceptance of order as above (the "Cancellation Period").

Liability
Except as expressly provided in these Terms, all warranties, conditions or other terms in favour of the User or any other person who uses the concessions voucher implied by Statute or common law are excluded to the fullest extent permitted by law. Nothing in these terms is intended nor shall it be construed to limit our liability for fraud or death or for personal injury caused by Picturehouse's negligence.
Picturehouse shall not be liable to the User or any other person who uses the concessions voucher by reason of any failure or delay in performing any of its obligations in relation to issue or redemption of the concessions voucher or the User's request for retail items through the Website or App under these terms if the failure or delay was due to any cause beyond Picturehouse's reasonable control.
Picturehouse's liability to the User or any other person who uses the concessions voucher shall not exceed the amount paid by the User for the concessions voucher. No other out of court complaint or redress system or compensation scheme exists in relation to the concessions voucher or the purchase of retail items.

Governing Law and Jurisdiction

Picturehouse will only write and communicate with the User in English.
If the User's residential address is in the UK or The Channel Islands, the agreement for the purchase of the concessions voucher will be with Picturehouse Cinemas Limited (company registered number 2310403), registered office 8th Floor Vantage London, Great West Road, Brentford, TW8 9AG.
