Modifications to Terms

Your continued access to or use of the Site or Services following modification indicates your acceptance of the new Terms. If modifications are not acceptable to you, your only recourse is to cease use of the Site and Services.



How the Site and Services Work

The Site and Services can be used to facilitate the listing and renting of fashion items (“Item”). Such Items are included in Listings on the Site and Services by Lenders. You may view Listings as an unregistered visitor to the Site and Services; however, if you wish to book an Item or create a Listing, you must first register to create a The Volte Account (defined below).

As stated above, The Volte makes available an online platform or marketplace with related technology for Lenders and Borrowers to meet online and arrange for the rental of Items directly with each other. The Volte is not an owner or dealer of fashion items, including, but not limited to, dresses, shoes, bags or accessories, nor is it a provider of fashion items, including, but not limited to, dresses, shoes, bags or accessories and The Volte does not own, sell, resell, provide, rent, re-rent, manage and/or control fashion items, including, but not limited to, dresses, shoes, bags or Items or postal, shipping or other delivery services. The Volte has engaged the service of a shipping company on behalf of its members. However, The Volte does not provide these shipping Services and accepts no liability for any damage caused in any way through or by the shipping Service. It is a condition of every transaction that is entered into on the Site that the shipping Service will be used to deliver the Item to the Borrower and return the Item to the Lender. If a User does not wish to use the shipping Service, the User is breaching a term of this Agreement and must not use the Site or Services.

PLEASE NOTE THAT, AS STATED ABOVE, THE SITE AND SERVICES ARE INTENDED TO BE USED TO FACILITATE LENDERS AND BORROWERS CONNECTING AND RENTING ITEMS DIRECTLY WITH EACH OTHER. THE VOLTE CANNOT AND DOES NOT CONTROL THE CONTENT CONTAINED IN ANY LISTINGS AND THE CONDITION, LEGALITY OR SUITABILITY OF ANY ITEMS. THE VOLTE IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR AND DISCLAIMS ANY AND ALL LIABILITY RELATED TO ANY AND ALL LISTINGS AND ITEMS. ACCORDINGLY, ANY RENTALS WILL BE MADE AT THE MEMBER’S OWN RISK.


Account Registration

In order to access certain features of the Site and rent an Item or create a Listing, you must register to create an account (“The Volte Account”) and become a Member. You may register to join the Services directly via the Site or as described in this section.

You can also register to join by logging into your account with certain third-party social networking sites (“SNS”) (including, but not limited to, Instagram, Facebook, Twitter; each such account, a “Third-Party Account”), via our Site, as described below. As part of the functionality of the Site and Services, you may link your The Volte Account with Third-Party Accounts, by either: (i) providing your Third-Party Account login information to The Volte through the Site or Services; or (ii) allowing The Volte to access your Third-Party Account, as permitted under the applicable terms and conditions that govern your use of each Third-Party Account. You represent that you are entitled to disclose your Third-Party Account login information to The Volte and/or grant The Volte access to your Third-Party Account (including, but not limited to, for use for the purposes described herein), without breach by you of any of the terms and conditions that govern your use of the applicable Third-Party Account and without obligating The Volte to pay any fees or making The Volte subject to any usage limitations imposed by such third-party service providers. By granting The Volte access to any Third-Party Accounts, you understand that The Volte will access, make available and store (if applicable) any Content that you have provided to and stored in your Third-Party Account (“SNS Content”) so that it is available on and through the Site and Services via you’re the Volte Account and The Volte Account profile page. Unless otherwise specified in these Terms, all SNS Content, if any, will be considered to be Member Content for all purposes of these Terms. Depending on the Third-Party Accounts you choose and subject to the privacy settings that you have set in such Third-Party Accounts, personally identifiable information that you post to your Third-Party Accounts may be available on and through your The Volte Account on the Site and Services. Please note that if a Third-Party Account or associated service becomes unavailable or The Volte’s access to such Third-Party Account is terminated by the third-party service provider, then SNS Content will no longer be available on and through the Site and Services. You have the ability to disable the connection between your The Volte Account and your Third-Party Accounts, at any time, by accessing the “Settings” section of the Site. PLEASE NOTE THAT YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH THE THIRD-PARTY SERVICE PROVIDERS ASSOCIATED WITH YOUR THIRD-PARTY ACCOUNTS IS GOVERNED SOLELY BY YOUR AGREEMENT(S) WITH SUCH THIRD-PARTY SERVICE PROVIDERS. The Volte makes no effort to review any SNS Content for any purpose, including but not limited to for accuracy, legality or non-infringement and The Volte is not responsible for any SNS Content.

We will create your The Volte Account and your The Volte Account profile page for your use of the Site based upon the personal information you provide to us or that we obtain via an SNS as described above. You may not have more than one (1) active The Volte Account. You agree to provide accurate, current and complete information during the registration process and to update such information to keep it accurate, current and complete. The Volte reserves the right to suspend or terminate your The Volte Account and your access to the Site and Services if you create more than one (1) The Volte Account or if any information provided during the registration process or thereafter proves to be inaccurate, not current or incomplete. You are responsible for safeguarding your password. You agree that you will not disclose your password to any third party and that you will take sole responsibility for any activities or actions under your The Volte Account, whether or not you have authorized such activities or actions. You will immediately notify The Volte of any unauthorized use of your The Volte Account.


Late Fees

Late Fees are applied in the event orders are not sent or returned on time as outlined here, Late Fees Policy.  Late Fees are incurred when a Borrower does not return an item in the expected timeframe, late fees are recouped by the Lender to cover any possible lost revenue on an item on the marketplace.


No Endorsement

The Volte does not endorse any Member or any Item. You understand that Verified Images are intended only to indicate a photographic representation and description of the Item at the time the The Volte representative sights the Item. Verified Images are therefore not an endorsement by The Volte of any Member or any Item. Members are required by these Terms to provide accurate information, and although The Volte may undertake additional checks and processes designed to help verify or check the identities or backgrounds of users, we do not make any representations about, confirm, or endorse any Member or the Member’s purported identity or background.

Any references in the Site or Services to a Member being “verified” or “connected” (or similar language) only indicate that the Member has completed a relevant verification process, and does not represent anything else. Any such description is not an endorsement, certification or guarantee by The Volte about any Member, including of the Member’s identity and whether the Member is trustworthy, safe or suitable. Instead, any such description is intended to be useful information for you to evaluate when you make your own decisions about the identity and suitability of others whom you contact or interact with via the Site and Services. We therefore recommend that you always exercise due diligence and care when deciding whether to rent an Item or to accept a rental request from a Borrower, or to have any other interaction with any other Member.

By using the Site or Services, you agree that any legal remedy or liability that you seek to obtain for actions or omissions of other Members or other third parties will be limited to a claim against the particular Members or other third parties who caused you harm. You agree not to attempt to impose liability on or seek any legal remedy from The Volte with respect to such actions or omissions. Accordingly, we encourage you to communicate directly with other Members on the Site and Services regarding any rentals or Listings made by you. This limitation shall not apply to any claim by a Lender against The Volte regarding the remittance of payments received from a Borrower by The Volte on behalf of a Lender, which instead shall be subject to the limitations described in the section below entitled “Limitation of Liability”.

Limitations on Endorsement for Super Lender:

‘Super Lender’ status does not imply endorsement or guarantee of item quality beyond the standard platform guarantees. It is a recognition of past performance, not a warranty for future transactions.

Limitations on Endorsement for Super Borrower:

‘Super Borrower’ status does not imply an endorsement of behavior beyond the standards outlined in this policy. It is a recognition of past responsible conduct, not a guarantee of future actions.


Shipping Services

The Volte may provide Members access to an integrated third party door-to-door shipping service. Note that all transactions are subject to a shipment contract. This means that the risk of loss and title for such items passes between the Lender and the Borrower. The Volte is not a party to such shipment contract. The Volte disclaims any loss or liability whatsoever arising from the user any such shipping Services.

Shipping Fees are based on the size of the package selected by the Lender. If it is deemed by The Volte, in its absolute discretion, that the package does not comply with the dimensions selected, The Volte is entitled to claim additional fees from the Member. For the avoidance of doubt, these additional fees may include any additional amounts that would have been payable by the Borrower if the Lender used the correct packaging size.

It is the lenders responsibility to include a labelled return satchel for each order. If a satchel is not included, the cost will be deducted from the lenders account.  


Try On Service 

Try-on option is no longer available. If you have questions regarding an item's size or fit, please contact our customer support team at [email protected] with the link to the listing so they can inquire with the lender for you.


Borrower Responsibilities

A Borrower is an individual who enters into an agreement with a Lender through The Volte platform to temporarily rent or lease fashion items, such as dresses, shoes, bags, or accessories, offered by the Lender for a specified rental period.

As a Borrower, you agree to strictly comply with these Terms, including but not limited to responsibilities regarding the proper use, care, timely return, and payment for rented items.


Theft or non-return of items

Borrowers must return all rented items promptly upon the expiry of the rental period. The failure to return an item, or intentional withholding of a rented item, will constitute theft as defined by our Theft Policy. Borrowers who fail to return items or are suspected of theft may be reported to local authorities and will be subject to financial penalties, including but not limited to full replacement costs, as detailed in the Theft Policy.


Damage of items rented or ordered through The Volte

Borrowers are required to promptly notify the Lender through The Volte platform of any damage sustained to the item during the rental period. Notification must occur before the rental period concludes and prior to the return of the item.


Damage to Items and Failure to Return Items

As a Borrower, you must return the rented item in the same condition as it was received, allowing only for reasonable wear and tear resulting from normal usage. Reasonable wear includes minor issues easily resolved by standard dry cleaning, such as mild body odour, minor makeup marks, or typical grime from normal use.

Damage requiring specialised cleaning or repair (including but not limited to significant stains, marks from food or drinks, tears, rips, or other visible damage) will be considered excessive. If the Lender provides evidence, including photographs or receipts, demonstrating damage beyond reasonable wear or failure to return the item, you agree to compensate the Lender as follows:

  • You agree to pay the Lender the full Replacement Cost or Repair Cost, as substantiated by documentation provided by the Lender.
  • Upon notification of a damage claim, you have forty-eight (48) hours to respond via The Volte platform. If no response is received within this timeframe or if you acknowledge responsibility, the applicable costs will automatically be charged to the credit or debit card on file in your account.
  • The Volte retains the right, at its sole discretion, to directly charge your payment method on file or otherwise pursue recovery of such payments through any lawful means available if damage or non-return is confirmed.
  • If The Volte is unable to recover funds via your registered payment method, you agree to promptly remit payment directly to The Volte or the Lender as directed.

Both Borrowers and Lenders must cooperate fully and promptly with The Volte in the resolution of any disputes, complaints, or claims regarding item damage or non-return. This cooperation includes providing requested information and participating in any necessary investigation undertaken by The Volte or its representatives.


Rental and Financial Terms for Borrowers

All confirmed rental transactions are direct agreements between the Borrower and the Lender. The Volte does not itself own, provide, rent, manage, or control any of the listed fashion items and explicitly disclaims liability arising from transactions between Borrowers and Lenders.

  • Lender Obligations: Lenders, not The Volte, are solely responsible for fulfilling confirmed rental requests and making items available to Borrowers.
  • Borrower Obligations: By requesting a rental, you agree to enter into an agreement directly with the Lender and accept any terms, conditions, rules, and restrictions imposed by the Lender concerning the rented item.
  • Payment Collection Agent: The Volte acts exclusively as the Lender's limited payment collection agent to accept payments from Borrowers. Upon payment of the Total Fees to The Volte, your payment obligations to the Lender are considered fulfilled. The Volte will then remit the appropriate payment to the Lender, deducting applicable Lender Fees and Shipping Fees. If The Volte fails to remit these payments, the Lender’s recourse will be limited exclusively to claims against The Volte.


Payment Authorisation and Fees

The Total Fees payable will be clearly displayed prior to submission of your rental request. The Lender has the duration of the Rental Request Period to accept or reject your request. If the rental request is not accepted within this period, the request will be automatically cancelled, and any amounts collected or pre-authorised will be refunded or released as applicable.

Upon submitting a rental request, you authorise The Volte to either:

  • Obtain a pre-authorisation via your registered credit or debit card for the Total Fees; or
  • Charge a nominal verification amount (up to £1) to your card, depending on the currency in which you transact, to verify the payment method.

Following confirmation by the Lender, The Volte will charge your registered payment method the full Total Fees, as set forth in the confirmed Listing. You acknowledge that your financial institution may impose additional fees or charges related to transactions conducted via The Volte, and you accept full responsibility for these charges. The Volte expressly disclaims liability relating to such charges.


Payment Methods and Processing

For each confirmed rental, you must provide accurate and current billing details, including your name, billing address, and payment card information, either directly to The Volte or our designated third-party payment processor.

By confirming your rental request, you authorise The Volte to collect applicable fees using the provided payment method. You further authorise The Volte to charge your registered payment method in the event of damage to or non-return of items, as detailed above.

Payments made via third-party processors (e.g., PayPal, Stripe) are subject to the terms and privacy policies of those providers. Ensure you review those terms prior to making payment. Upon successful payment, you will receive a confirmation email detailing the rental transaction.


Lender Responsibilities

As a Member, you may create Listings. A member who creates Listings and accepts rentals and orders via The Volte are classified as a Lender. 

Your obligations as a Lender and the requirements to act as a Lender on The Volte are available to be read here in the The Volte Lending and Lender Policy.  The services The Volte provides Lenders are also documented in the aforementioned policy.  


General Rental and Financial Terms

Cancellations and Refunds

We understand plans can change. You may cancel your rental up to 14 days prior to the scheduled rental start date. In this case, you will receive a full refund of your Rental Fees minus the non-refundable 15% Borrower Fee. Refunds are automatically processed back to your original payment method.

If you wish to cancel within 14 days of the scheduled rental start date, you must liaise directly with your Lender. Refund approval is at the Lender's discretion and subject to their specified cancellation policy. Full details regarding refunds and applicable cancellation policies are clearly indicated on each Listing and further detailed in our Cancellation Policy.

Please note:

  • The Borrower Fee (15%) charged by The Volte remains non-refundable irrespective of any applicable cancellation policy set by the Lender.


Lender Cancellation

If a Lender cancels a confirmed rental through our Site:

  1. The Volte will promptly refund the full Total Fees paid by the Borrower within a commercially reasonable timeframe.
  2. The affected Borrower may receive alternative Listings or other communications from The Volte offering suitable replacement items.

If a Borrower selects and confirms a replacement rental, the Borrower agrees to pay The Volte the Total Fees associated with the newly confirmed Listing.

If a confirmed rental is cancelled by a Lender and you, as a Borrower, have not received alternative arrangements or communications, please contact our support team immediately at [www.thevolte.co.uk].


Penalties for Lender Cancellations

Lenders should honour confirmed bookings wherever possible. However, should you as a Lender cancel a confirmed rental, The Volte reserves the right to impose certain penalties, including but not limited to:


  • Publishing an automated review indicating a reservation cancellation.
  • Blocking the dates of the cancelled rental in your Listing calendar, preventing other rentals for those dates.
  • Imposing a cancellation fee, deducted from future payouts.


You will be informed clearly about any applicable penalties prior to finalising a cancellation.


The Volte-Initiated Cancellations

The Volte may, at its sole discretion, determine that it is necessary or desirable to cancel a confirmed rental under specific circumstances or for other justified reasons.

In such circumstances, The Volte may also decide, at its discretion, to partially or fully refund the Borrower according to the terms outlined in our Borrower Refund Policy. By using our Site and Services, you agree that neither The Volte nor any involved Borrower or Lender shall bear any liability for cancellations or refunds made under these circumstances.


Borrower Refunds

Borrower refunds are administered strictly in accordance with our Borrower Refund Policy.


Rounding Off

The Volte may, at its sole discretion, round payments due from or to Borrowers or Lenders to the nearest whole currency unit (e.g., nearest GBP). For example, an amount of £101.50 will be rounded up to £102.00, and £101.49 will be rounded down to £101.00.


Payment Processing Errors

Should we identify a payment processing error, we will promptly rectify it. This may involve debiting or crediting your original payment method to ensure the correct amounts are paid or received.


Donations

Certain Lenders may choose to donate a portion of the income received from confirmed rentals to charity or other causes. The Volte does not monitor or enforce these pledges and accepts no responsibility for ensuring such donations are made. Lenders choosing to make charitable pledges or fundraise are solely responsible for complying with applicable UK charity laws and regulations.


Taxes and VAT

As a Lender, you acknowledge and agree that you are solely responsible for determining your UK tax obligations, including but not limited to VAT registration, collection, and remittance of taxes relating to your Listings and rentals.

Specifically, you agree to:

  • Determine your applicable tax reporting requirements in accordance with HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) guidelines.
  • Clearly indicate any applicable taxes included in your Listings.
  • Properly remit collected taxes to HMRC or other relevant authorities.

The Volte does not provide tax advice or guidance to Members, and we expressly disclaim responsibility for your compliance with tax obligations.


User Conduct

Governing Law and Jurisdiction

These Terms are governed by English law. Disputes will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales.


Indemnification

You agree to release, defend, indemnify, and hold The Volte and its affiliates and subsidiaries, and their officers, directors, employees and agents, harmless from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable legal and accounting fees, arising out of or in any way connected with (a) your access to or use of the Site, Services, or Collective Content or your violation of these Terms; (b) your Member Content; (c) your (i) interaction with any Member, (ii) rental of an Item, or (iii) creation of a Listing; (d) the use, condition or rental of an Item by you, including but not limited to any injuries, losses, or damages (compensatory, direct, incidental, consequential or otherwise) of any kind arising in connection with or as a result of a rental, rental or use of an Item.


Entire Agreement

These Terms constitute the entire and exclusive understanding and agreement between The Volte and you regarding the Site, Services, Collective Content, and any rentals or Listings of Items made via the Site and Services, and these Terms supersede and replace any and all prior oral or written understandings or agreements between The Volte and you regarding rentals or listings of Items, the Site, Services and Collective Content.


Assignment

You may not assign or transfer these Terms, by operation of law or otherwise, without The Volte’s prior written consent. Any attempt by you to assign or transfer these Terms, without such consent, will be null and of no effect. The Volte may assign or transfer these Terms, at its sole discretion, without restriction. Subject to the foregoing, these Terms will bind and inure to the benefit of the parties, their successors and permitted assigns.


Notices

Any notices or other communications permitted or required hereunder, including those regarding modifications to these Terms, will be in writing and given by The Volte (i) via email (in each case to the address that you provide) or (ii) by posting to the Site or via the Application. For notices made by e-mail, the date of receipt will be deemed the date on which such notice is transmitted.


Dispute Resolution

If a dispute arises, parties agree to first attempt informal resolution. If unresolved, disputes may be resolved through certified mediation or arbitration. If alternative resolution fails, both parties submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of courts in England and Wales.


General

The failure of The Volte to enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not constitute a waiver of future enforcement of that right or provision. The waiver of any such right or provision will be effective only if in writing and signed by a duly authorized representative of The Volte. Except as expressly set forth in these Terms, the exercise by either party of any of its remedies under these Terms will be without prejudice to its other remedies under these Terms or otherwise. If for any reason an arbitrator or a court of competent jurisdiction finds any provision of these Terms invalid or unenforceable, that provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible and the other provisions of these Terms will remain in full force and effect.
