My Staff Shop Limited is a company registered in England and Wales under company number 7710593 and whose registered office is at 2 Charlesworth Court, Knights Way, Battlefield Enterprise Park, Shrewsbury SY1 3AB.
We refer to ourselves as "My Staff Shop", "we", "us" or "our" in this document.
What we do
My Staff Shop is a membership organisation for providing rewards to employees of participating companies. It is an on-going subscription service which means that membership is subject to continued participation by agreement with us either as part of an employer sponsored scheme or as an individual member.
What we don't do
Unless we specifically say otherwise, we act only as an intermediary in providing access to Merchants offers; we are not a Merchant and we do not sell, provide or supply any Merchant Products/Services.
If you are using a smartphone or mobile device, please ensure you turn off "prevent cross site tracking" on your web browser settings. If this is not turned off, your purchase will not be tracked and Reward Beans not allocated.
When you access a discount offer you do so on the terms and conditions of the Merchant and we are not part of the contract between you and the Merchant. We do not assume responsibility for any contracts between you and any Merchant for the supply of any goods and/or services supplied by the Merchant.
Where you apply to purchase a voucher or to redeem your voucher or discount you form a contract between yourself and the Merchant. You should carefully review the terms relating to such contracts.
In addition parts of our site which provide access to such offers are provided by third parties and their terms and conditions, available on the relevant pages of the site, apply to any transaction completed through those third parties. When you provide your personal data to such third parties they and not us, control the use of your data. You should make sure you read the privacy policy applicable to those third parties.
