A to Z aims to be highly transparent: legal documents should protect the company without hiding important information, surprising customers with charges, or weakening the customer experience. Website, app, checkout and operations should describe the same process.
Website and mobile app terms for A to Z Dry Clean Limited B2C customers.
Covering account data, garment photographs, measurements, condition notes, addresses, delivery evidence, payment/invoice information, corporate eligibility and support/complaint records.
Cookie and tracking notice for the website where required; mobile-app privacy disclosures including push notifications, analytics and device permissions where used.
Company uniform/workwear accounts and employee benefit eligibility.
Deposit, possession, loss, damage, replacement, address changes and return.
Damaged, missing, delayed or unsatisfactory items; complaint and re-clean procedures.
Saved cards, corrected item classifications and any off-session or merchant-initiated transactions.
How long major evidence categories are retained and why.
For future changes to pricing, service areas, app features, corporate benefits and policies.
Recommended implementation: at checkout, show a short customer-friendly summary of the most important operational terms, with links to full Terms and Privacy. Save the exact terms version accepted with the order.
Confirm exact legal company name, registered office/business contact details and registration/VAT information required on website, app and invoices.
Define the point of contract formation: account registration, order submission, pickup confirmation, inspection confirmation, payment authorisation, or another defined stage.
How customers accept Terms and Privacy (timestamp and version). Renewed acceptance only where a material change justifies it; auditable record of which version applied to each order.
How service notices, app notifications, inbox notices and emails become part of the customer record.
A to Z wants commercial freedom to change published prices without an individual advance message to every existing customer, applied to future orders — not retroactive surprise on confirmed orders.
Suggested customer-facing wording for counsel to refine: A to Z may update its published prices from time to time. Updated prices apply to new orders placed after the change and will be shown before you confirm the order. The price of a confirmed order will not be changed merely because the general price list changes afterwards. Final order value may still be adjusted where inspection confirms that an item was entered under the wrong category or where you separately approve an additional paid service.
Confirm whether individual notification of every registered customer is required before B2C price-list changes for future orders, provided the applicable price is clearly shown before the next order is committed.
Special rules for corporate accounts, prepaid packages, subscriptions, vouchers, credits or fixed-price contracts.
Do not silently increase the price of an already confirmed order because the public price list changed after placement.
Maintain dated, versioned price lists to prove which published price applied at order time.
Wrong garment category is an inspection correction to the actual item received, not a general retroactive price increase. Optional extras require separate approval.
| Question | Short answer |
|---|---|
| Wrong item selected | Correct to actual item at applicable published price; notify customer. Counsel to confirm prior term/mandate for corrected final charge. |
| Optional specialist treatment | Hold and request approval before extra paid work. Confirm form of express consent required. |
| Saved card | Payment-provider token; no raw card storage. PSD2/SCA setup for off-session or merchant-initiated charges. |
| Charge fails | Notify customer and provide payment action — do not hide the issue. Confirm lawful collection/retention/delivery rights. |
Customer sees selected item, actual item, price difference and reason in My A to Z Inbox. Optional add-ons remain separate from category correction.
Lawyer and payment provider approve card mandate and checkout wording together.
Define whether 48 and 24 hours are contractual guarantees, service targets, estimates or promotional statements.
Genuine exceptions for difficult stains, specialist fabrics, leather/suede, risk conditions, approval holds, repairs, unusual care or extra quality control — with early customer notice, plain reason and revised date in My A to Z Inbox.
Express-specific rule when A to Z misses timing for reasons within its control versus garment-specific reasons found at inspection.
Lawful basis and privacy wording for photographs, measurements, stains, tears, loose buttons, zipper/lining damage and pre-existing condition — for service delivery, quality control, dispute prevention and complaints.
Whether any image categories need separate consent or can rely on another appropriate legal basis.
Normal retention for before/after evidence; extended retention while a complaint or claim is active.
Where a condition could worsen during cleaning, hold and ask customer to approve or instruct before continuing; store timestamped response in the order record.
Define process and reporting window for missing, damaged, wrongly delivered or allegedly shrunk garments.
Intake count, barcode scans, before/after photos, measurements, inspection notes, processing history, packing reconciliation and delivery proof.
How value is established for compensation: receipt, age, condition, fair current value, replacement value, depreciation, agreed maximums or another defensible method.
Avoid unfair, hidden or disproportionate caps; test any limitation under Cyprus/EU consumer law.
Procedure when another customer’s garment is received; when repair, re-clean, credit, refund or monetary compensation may be offered.
Customer reports through My A to Z against the specific order/garment so the case links to inspection, delivery and processing evidence.
Where safe and appropriate, quality review and re-clean linked to the original order; distinguish service-quality steps from automatic admission of fault.
Outcomes and communications retained in order history and complaint case records.
Define hold duration, reminders and whether service clocks pause while waiting for instruction on risk, extra work or significant changes.
Rights before pickup, after pickup, after inspection and after processing starts; charges where work was already performed.
Process for extended uncollected/undeliverable property — no disposal without lawyer-approved notice period and evidence trail.
Box remains owned by A to Z unless the commercial model changes.
Document refundable deposit amount and exact refund conditions.
Normal wear versus chargeable loss/damage; moves outside service area; account closure; missing box — with Box ID, address, deposit and replacement history in My Smart Box without overwriting historical Box IDs.
Uniform/workwear service and agreed commercial pricing.
Management keeps eligibility reasonably current; status language (Active, Verification Due, Temporarily Paused, Ended); 90-day review; work-email verification and CSV eligibility lists.
Employer must not see employee personal garment orders, photos, home address, personal payments or private complaints.
Roles where a company supplies employee eligibility data; appropriate notices to employees on use of eligibility data.
Who is primary account holder and who may add household members.
Logistics convenience must not assume one adult automatically sees another adult’s private garment history or communications.
How payment authority works when multiple household members use the same account/box.
Appropriate account/control rules if individual profiles for minors are added later.

Operational notifications (pickup, inspection, approval, delay, delivery, payment) are part of the service; marketing consent handled separately where required.
Review cookies and app SDKs; no pre-ticked optional marketing consent; change marketing preferences without disabling essential service alerts; explain push permissions if turned off.
Cyprus governing law/jurisdiction for consumer contracts; mandatory consumer rights and dispute-resolution information.
Review limitations, exclusions, compensation caps and unilateral-change clauses for fairness; important limits prominent, not buried; do not waive non-waivable consumer rights.
Effective date and version for Terms, Privacy and corporate agreements; link each order to accepted Terms version.

Final instruction to counsel: convert approved business rules into clear consumer-facing language and identify any policy that should change before launch. A to Z prefers transparency, evidence and early notice over broad hidden disclaimers. This checklist is a business briefing — not a substitute for advice from Cyprus-qualified counsel.
