Terms and conditions
Thank you for using Cult Rhea. By using this website, you agree to these terms and conditions.

1. The Basics
1.1. When we say ‘we’, ‘us’, ‘our’ we are referring to Cult Rhea. When we say ‘our website’, ‘the website’ or ‘this website’ we mean www.cultrhea.com
1.2. Our website enables people, the List Holders, to set-up a list of gifts (“Gift List”) to be gifted to them by other persons, the Gift Buyer, for a particular event (the “Event”). In order to do so, Users must first create an account on our website.
1.3. As a website user, you may fall in one or more of the following categories of users:
1.3.1. ‘User’ – When you merely browse through our website without creating an account, we refer to you as ‘User’.
1.3.2. ‘Gift Buyer’ – When you use the website to purchase gifts for List Holders, we refer to you as ‘Gift Buyer’ and Section 4 of these terms and conditions will particularly apply to you (in addition to other applicable sections).
1.3.3. ‘List Holder’ – When you use the website to create ‘Gift Lists’ and receive gifts from Gift Buyers, we refer to you as ‘List Holders’ and Section 5 of these terms and conditions will particularly apply to you (in addition to other applicable sections).
1.4. ‘Gift Lists’ are wish lists put together by List Holders. Approved Gift Lists are published on the website six to eight weeks prior to the date of the event, allowing Users and Gift Buyers to view them and Gift Buyers to select one or more gifts and purchasing them as gifts to List Holders.
1.5. This Gift List service is provided to the List Holders free of charge.
1.6. Gift Lists may include a ‘Honeymoon Fund’ for honeymoons booked exclusively with Compass Travel. The value of any taxes on the booking, cannot be funded through the Honeymoon Fund. In any case, the total value of the Honeymoon Fund, shall not exceed the value of the List Holders travel plans (less any taxes)– as confirmed by Compass Travel. Should the List Holder wish to opt for a Honeymoon Fund whose value exceeds the value of their travel plans with Compass Travel, the excess will be given in the form of ‘vouchers’ from Compass Travel, but never in cash from Cult Rhea.
1.7. When we say ‘Account’ we mean the account and connected profile that you as a Gift Buyer and/or List Holder may create on our website.

You acknowledge and agree that we may not be held responsible should you lose or fail to keep your Account login credentials safe and this results in an inability to access your Account.

Without prejudice to our right to determine who owns the account based on a number of factors (for example, the contact and profile information listed for that account), we may nevertheless ask you to resolve the matter through proper channels outside of the website.
4. Gift Buyers
4.1. When you use the website and an Account as a Gift Buyer, you will be able to see other List Holder’s Gift Lists and purchase any of the items listed as a gift for the List Holder in question.
4.2. You hereby acknowledge and agree that when you purchase an item through our website as a Gift Buyer and the purchase is confirmed, you shall immediately, and without need for any further formality, irrevocably and gratuitously transfer the item so purchased to the List Holder, such that the title of ownership over the item so purchased shall be immediately transferred to the List Holder.
4.3. You acknowledge that when you use the website and the Account as a Gift Buyer to purchase gifts for Gift Holders, you do so in your capacity as customer of the third-party vendor offering the item you select for purchase. You understand that we are not vendors and we do not sell, directly or indirectly, any of the items listed on List Holder’s Gift Lists. Therefore, in this respect, your counterparty in the contract of sale of the selected item is the third-party vendor offering the item for sale.
4.4. The price of items shown for sale on a Gift List shall include, where applicable, value added tax, charges for delivering the item to the List Holder and our fees, if any.
4.5. Once an item is selected from a Gift List, you will be re-directed to a checkout window and you will be asked to provide your payment details and to pay for the price of the item selected. A purchase will not go through unless payment is made by means of a credit card when prompted. Payment for the selected item is received by us and we will settle the amount directly with the vendor offering the item for sale. You will receive an order confirmation via email once the purchase is confirmed.
4.6. Once your order is confirmed, the item purchased is immediately transferred to the List Holders and any issues with product availability or other post-purchase issues will be dealt between the List Holders and us.
5. List Holders
5.1. When you use the website and an Account as a List Holder, you will be able to compile Gift Lists and receive gifts from Gift Buyers.
5.2. You hereby acknowledge and agree that when a purchase is made by a Gift Buyer, you shall immediately, and without need for any further formality, accept the item purchased by the Gift Buyer as a gift to you, such that once the purchase of an item purchased by a Gift Buyer is confirmed, you shall immediately become the owner of the item so purchased.
5.3. You acknowledge that when you become the owner of an item purchased for you by a Gift Buyer as aforesaid, your claim and right to have the item delivered to you lies against the vendor who would have offered the item for sale. You understand that we are not vendors and we do not sell, directly or indirectly, any of the items listed on Gift Lists, therefore (and unless we specifically commit ourselves to do so), we are unable to deliver an item purchased for you by a Gift Buyer. You acknowledge and understand that with respect to any right or claim concerning the item you should receive, the direct counterparty in the contract of sale of the item purchased for you by a Gift Buyer is the third-party vendor who would have offered the item for sale.
5.4. You understand that certain items on your Gift List purchased for you by Gift Buyers may be unavailable from time to time. In such case, you will be given credit equivalent to the value of the item actually paid for by the Gift Buyer to be used at any of our vendors’ stores. We will inform you if any of the items chosen is a ‘Special Item’. Special items are specifically ordered for the List Holder after the Event, therefore, delivery times take longer than other items.
5.5. You hereby acknowledge and accept that we shall not be responsible for a vendor’s failure to deliver the item purchased for you by a Gift Buyer in time or at all, and you expressly agree that any claim in this respect shall be directed towards the vendor under an obligation to deliver the item in question.
5.6. As owner of items purchased for you by Gift Buyers, you may qualify for the protections afforded by law to you as ‘consumer’, including legal warranties. You hereby expressly agree that any right or claim you may have as consumer with respect to the item so purchased shall be exercised or directed towards the vendor who would have offered the item for sale.
5.7. As a consumer, all items sold by third-party vendors through our website should be covered by the relevant statutory warranties valid. These warranties entitle you to ask the vendor to repair or replace any of the items free of charge if these are found to be defective. This notwithstanding, you agree that since this website merely facilitates transactions between Gift Buyers, vendors and List Holders, we cannot guarantee the third-party vendors compliance with standard consumer regulations.
