1.2 Booking in your vehicle
1.2.1 It should be assumed that your vehicle has not been booked in until The Wrap Sanctuary has received the requested deposit in full from you, the customer. This may be waived by The Wrap Sanctuary in certain circumstances, but this is at the discretion of The Wrap Sanctuary.
1.2.2 If a deposit has been received in full, then you can be assured that your vehicle has been booked in for its vinyl wrap (or other works) and no alteration for these booking dates will be changed by The Wrap Sanctuary at any time, unless for unpredictable circumstances out of our control. This may be something such as illness, loss of business premises, etc.
1.2.3 If a deposit has been arranged to be dropped off/transferred to The Wrap Sanctuary and you, the customer(s) fail to complete this, then your vehicle will not be booked in and The Wrap Sanctuary will be able to book other vehicles in on those selected dates, with no penalty to The Wrap Sanctuary.
1.2.4 If a deposit has been taken, and your vehicle booked in for selected dates and you the customer wish to change these, this will be at the discretion of The Wrap Sanctuary, and moved to a date that suits our business needs, with no penalty to The Wrap Sanctuary.
1.2.5 If deposits have been taken and a vehicle is not brought in for the outlined works in your quotation on the date(s) agreed with you, the customer, then The Wrap Sanctuary will not issue a refund for the deposit. The vehicle may be booked in at a later date, with a penalty charge to you, the customer.
1.2.6 If a car is booked in for works twice and does not turn up for the designated appointment time, then The Wrap Sanctuary reserves the right to refuse to begin work(s), continue work(s), or finish work(s) without any penalty to The Wrap Sanctuary (including repair works).
1.2.7 If a deposit has been taken, and The Wrap Sanctuary proceeds to purchase the vinyl needed for your wrap or PPF, and it becomes apparent that the vinyl will not be available for the selected booking date(s), then The Wrap Sanctuary will contact you as soon as it suits the business needs. Deposits for this will be refundable (please see section 6 for more information on this) if you the customer decides not to continue with your vehicle wrap (or other works). If you, the customer, would like to continue with your vehicle wrap then The Wrap Sanctuary will either offer an alternative to the color/type of vinyl wrap/PPF that you have chosen, or will alter the dates of your vehicle wrap to allow time for the specific vinyl vehicle wrap/PPF to become available. These dates must suit the business needs of The Wrap Sanctuary.
1.2.8 Any payment taken as a design fee is not a deposit and is a non-refundable cost, we work alongside you the customer at times that suit our designer to finalise the design, once the design has been approved any changes thereafter will be at an additional cost and the discretion of our designer.
1.3 Inclusive details of the wrap
1.3.1 A full wrap consists of vinyl applied to cover all visible bodywork exposed when all doors, bonnets, sunroofs etc. are closed. This excludes plastic trims, plastic bumpers etc. unless otherwise specified in the quotation provided to you by The Wrap Sanctuary.
1.3.2 If shuts and returns require full coverage, they will be discussed during your consulting period, quoted as a separate item and highlighted as such on the Invoice.
1.3.3 If shuts and returns require full coverage, this will be at the discretion of The Wrap Sanctuary as to whether or not this is possible, and if The Wrap Sanctuary does not believe it is possible this does not affect in any way our standard of works/wrapping ability.
1.3.4 It should be assumed that all shuts and returns would not be included in the quote or invoice price unless discussed during the consultation period.
1.3.5 If, after works begin, shuts or returns to any extent are requested to be wrapped then this will be quoted as a separate job and application will not interfere with the existing wrap on the vehicle done by The Wrap Sanctuary or other party.
1.3.6 Door shuts and returns (of any sort) wraps are excluded from our warranty agreement. Please see section 7 for more information on this.
1.3.7If specific vinyl (e.g. 3M, Hexis, etc.) is requested by you the customer, The Wrap Sanctuary will endeavor to meet these requirements. This may have an impact on the quotation/invoice price if this is requested after the documents have been published. The Wrap Sanctuary accepts no liability if the price on the Invoice or Quotation changed as a result of specific vinyl being requested by you, the customer, for works to be completed. If specific vinyl has already been ordered, then you, the customer, is liable to cover the costs of the vinyl that we have ordered and subsequently will not be using. If a wrap has been completed and you, the customer, then requests that a specific vinyl should have been used then The Wrap Sanctuary will offer to re-do the wrap at the cost of a separate job. We will not refund wraps that have been carried out in vinyl that you the customer did not want, if at no point during the consultation stage did you specifically ask for this. Any specific vinyl given to us by you the customer, we The Wrap Sanctuary will accept no liability and therefore offer no warranty on the work carried out using your vinyl.
1.3.8 A full car PPF will be all visible panels of the car when the boot, bonnets, doors etc are closed including front headlights. PPF will finish on the bodyline of all panels which will be explained to you the customer before the work commences. All plastic trims will not be included unless already discussed and stated in the quotation.
1.3.8 A front end package in PPF will include front bumper, bonnet, wing mirrors, front headlights and both front wings, the PPF will finish on the edge of the panels.
1.3.9 We will do our best to limit the amount of contamination under the PPF and vinyl wrap however we cannot guarantee there will be none, and if there is any this will be discussed with you, the customer before leaving the premises, once you leave the premises with your car, it is understood you are happy with the finish and there will be no warranty coverage against contamination.
1.3.10 The Wrap Sanctuary does not take any responsibility for damage to the paintwork that occurs due to removal of the vinyl. Paint may chip, rip or peel off on the vinyl at removal due to its age, wear and tear, condition, damage caused by stone chips, scratches and human interference. Vinyl may not provide 100% coverage of the original color, e.g. in hard-to-reach places.
1.3.11 The Wrap Sanctuary cannot guarantee the quality of the paintwork on your vehicle, therefore when the vinyl has been applied to your car, The Wrap Sanctuary cannot be held liable due to any defects of the wrap due to paintwork.
1.4 Procedural Terms & Conditions
1.4.1 Our main workshop and headquarters address is as follows: The Wrap Sanctuary Unit 32A Arena Business Centre, Holyrood Close, Poole, BH17 7FJ
1.4.2The above address is where The Wrap Sanctuary will carry out works on vehicles, unless agreed with The Wrap Sanctuary, for a vehicle wrap to be completed at another premises. Please see section 4.18 for details about the conditions that are required for this.
1.4.3 The Wrap Sanctuary can refuse to complete works at another location, with no reason needed from The Wrap Sanctuary.
1.4.4 The Wrap Sanctuary will come to an agreement with you, the customer, in regards to the required start date for work. This will be a date that fits in with the business needs or The Wrap Sanctuary. Delaying this date will cause issues with the time frame of wrapping your vehicle so we strongly suggest that you review this date to make sure it is suitable.
1.4.5 The Wrap Sanctuary will provide you with a time frame of which you are able to bring your vehicle into the The Wrap Sanctuary premises. It is important that you have delivered your vehicle promptly to this time, as any delay in this will hinder the wrapping process.
1.4.6 Although all areas of bodywork are cleaned prior to commencement of work and application of vinyl, The Wrap Sanctuary expects a relatively clean vehicle on delivery/collection.
1.4.7 It is to the standard of The Wrap Sanctuary that will determine what a relatively clean vehicle is.
1.4.8 We reserve the right to refuse to begin work or charge you the customer, an extra of £50.00 for the vehicle to be cleaned if we deem the vehicle(s) is not cleaned to the standards og The Wrap Sanctuary.
1.4.9 We will need to be informed of any special surface treatments that your vehicle may have had done prior to work commencing. Treatments such as micro wax nano coatings can cause the wrapping process to fail. Although we use a special surface cleaner to remove these coatings, they do not always prove to be 100% effective and we will not be held liable for any problems that may arise as a result. If you do not provide us with this information prior to the wrap application, your warranty is invalid and any repair work will be charged at a panel rate.
1.4.10 The Wrap Sanctuary reserves the right to refuse to begin work or charge an extra if there is, on any part of the vehicle, a large build up or dirt, dust, mud etc. which will cause issues when wrapping the vehicle(s).
1.4.11 A large build up of dirt, dust, mud etc. is at the discretion of The Wrap Sanctuary.
1.4.12 We reserve the right to refuse commencement of works at any point.
1.4.13 Due to the nature of vehicle wrapping, although avoided where possible, it may prove necessary to ‘seam’ vinyl where:
- The panel size exceeds the available vinyl size.
- The contour of the vehicle panel exceeds the point where the vinyl becomes overstretched.
1.4.14 Wherever possible seams will be avoided.
- If for any reason seams are needed/necessary for the completion of works, The Wrap Sanctuary will advise this at the point this is realized. This can be before works are carried out, during work, and after works and also for repairs.
1.4.15 The Wrap Sanctuary will always endeavor to complete projects as per time frame advised, but if exceeded will advise at the earliest opportunity with no penalty to The Wrap Sanctuary. This can be through no fault of The Wrap Sanctuary (such as a car being brought in on a rainy day, meaning the vehicle needs time to dry off, or through illness, unavailability through personal commitments etc.)
1.4.16 If this time frame is extended due to a fault by the customer a penalty fee may apply; for example:
- If a vehicle is not delivered within the time frame discussed.
- If the vehicle is delivered in a condition where works cannot begin to be undertaken due to cleanliness issues, loose panels, cracked panels, repair works needed to be undertaken, etc. (This list is not extensive).
1.4.17 If for any reason the vehicle(s) are being wrapped at another location other than the location of The Wrap Sanctuary, the following conditions must be considered:
- The location must be a permanent indoor location. This excludes pop up tents, marquees, etc.
- The location must have four or more solid sides so the area is enclosed with an entrance/exit point that can be closed.
- The location must be well lit either by natural or electrical lighting.
- The location must be as free from dust as possible. If the location is not then The Wrap Sanctuary reserves the right to refuse works with no penalty to The Wrap Sanctuary.
- The location must not be damp, wet, cold or windy, as these conditions will drastically affect the wrapping process.
- The location must be heated to a minimum temperature of 20 degree centigrade and must not exceed 28 degree centigrade.
- The location must allow room for the entire vehicle(s) to fit in with adequate room around the vehicle to commence works.
- The location access must be as flexible as possible towards the needs of The Wrap Sanctuary.
- The location must accept any liability for damage caused to the premises.
- The location must not be a well-travelled area from other persons.
- The premises must have an electrical socket point for the use of The Wrap Sanctuary.
- We reserve the right to refuse to carry out works in a location that The Wrap Sanctuary considers to be unsatisfactory.
1.4.18 We aim to complete all work with our own highly experienced team. However, if circumstances beyond our control make this impossible, we retain the right to use third party services such as other garages, paint shops or car mechanics or other car wrapping companies at any time. We will advice, you, the customer about the prior use of third parties.
1.4.19 As part of the wrapping process, it may prove necessary to de-trim your vehicle. This means handles, small trims, badges, grills and small or intricate parts may be removed. If your car is of high value, then we advise that you contact your manufacturer approved body shop technician to remove the trims for you prior to the application of the wrap. As modern, high value vehicles are controlled by computers, you may incur charges from your dealership or manufacturer.
1.4.20 We will not be liable for any of these additional charges during or after the wrap has been applied.
1.4.21If you allow us to de-trim your vehicle, we will not be liable for any repairs, errors or mechanical, electrical or parts exchanges required.
1.4.22 A vehicle wrap and PPF is a vinyl film that is used to customise or protect vehicles' paintwork or to advertise a service (this is not an extensive representation of what vehicle vinyl wrapping film can be used for). When we cover your vehicle, it will be necessary to stretch the vinyl. This will be done within the manufacturers guidelines so your vinyl will stay within the manufacturer's warranty.
1.4.23 To ensure professionalism, durability and high quality workmanship we will need to place lower tension inlays and joins in your wrap where required. These will be practically invisible. As a result your wrap will withstand its full-recommended lifespan and you will enjoy your customer vehicle longer.
1.4.24 We reserve the right to make expert decisions upon areas that we deem to be a potential issue. These are commonly front and rear bumpers, air intakes, abnormally large bonnets and mirrors. This list is not extensive and we reserve the right to change this list at any time.

1.6.2 Specific vinyl for works has been ordered.
1.6.3 Specific tools required for work have been ordered.

1.6.5 If in the unlikely circumstance that The Wrap Sanctuary considers that satisfactory completion of project(s) cannot be achieved after the commencement of works a full refund will be offered with no penalty to the customer of The Wrap Sanctuary.
- The above is not applicable if you, the customer, were advised during the consultation stage, during the wrapping stage and thereafter, there would be complications with work and agree to proceed.

1.6.7 If a refund is awarded to you, the customer, by The Wrap Sanctuary then this will be broken down by the relevant work completed.
- If a wrap has been removed and another wrap replaced, then the wrap removal will be excluded from the refund as works removing the wrap have been completed.

1.6.10 Vinyls ordered on behalf of you the customers through The Wrap Sanctuary are invalid from our refund policy. Please see section (10) for more details about this.
1.7 Your Guarantee
1.7.1 Our workmanship on vehicle wraps is guaranteed for 12 months from completion of works, please see our warranty statement for more details. The completion of the works is the date that your vehicle is handed back to you, the customer, from the original wrap. This date is not extended for repair works or extra works completed unless quoted as a separate item on your invoice. A warranty claim form will need to be completed by you the customer with photographic evidence for us to be able to move forward with your claim.

In case of a warrantable failure, The Wrap Sanctuary’s responsibility is limited solely to, at its option, repairing or replacing the defective wrap or parts of the wrap.

If the customer picks up the car and leaves the premises it means that they have accepted the service by The Wrap Sanctuary.

1.7.7 If you would like confirmation of the warranty, this is to be subject to The Wrap Sanctuary at any point of the warranty.

Please see section (10) for more details on this.
1.8 The Aftercare
1.8.1 The Wrap Sanctuary Offers a free quality check on all works carried out.
1.8.2 This should be carried out within 30 days of completion, failure to attend this will void any warranty coverage.
1.8.3 The Wrap Sanctuary should be given 5 business days notice of this inspection.
1.8.4 If for any reason The Wrap Sanctuary is unable to complete this inspection, if requested, within the time frame stated above then The Wrap Sanctuary will accept a quality check at a later date. This excludes customer availability for this quality check.
1.8.5 We reserve the right to refuse the inspection if:
- It does not comply with the business needs.
- It is not carried out within the 30-day period at no fault of The Wrap Sanctuary.
- If the inspection is booked within the 30 day period and then cancelled by the customer.
- We have not received 5-business days notice.
1.8.6 The Wrap Sanctuary does offer quality and free advice on looking after your wrap to ensure that it lasts as long as possible in good condition.
1.8.7 The Wrap Sanctuary does not offer a vinyl cleaning service and any cleaning that is done during the process of wrapping, repairing or removing vinyl is at the discretion of The Wrap Sanctuary. Vehicles under no circumstances should be brought back for “upkeep”.
1.8.8 We recommend that you avoid washing your car for 7 days from the completion of the vinyl vehicle wrap/PPF, unless it is to remove a large build up of dirt, fuel spillages or anything else that may cause damage to your vehicle wrap.
1.8.9 After this time, we recommend hand washing your vehicle(s) with a sponge and hot soapy water. This should be a non-abrasive detergent, and we also recommend that you use a soft clean cloth or sponge that has not been exposed to harsh chemicals that may cause damage to your vinyl wrap/PPF.
1.8.10 We do advise against using a brush, drive through car washes or pressure washer as this can cause the vinyl to lift and will exclude your vehicle wrap/PPF from our guarantee.
1.8.11 Take care when using commercial or industrial strength cleaners as they can cause spotting/bleaching to the vinyl, which will also exclude your vehicle wrap/PPF from the guarantee.
1.8.12 We cannot guarantee the outcome of any cleaning product used, other than the cleaning products specified by us. This is up to the discretion of you, the customer, but The Wrap Sanctuary will be happy to advise upon any cleaning product that customers enquire about.
1.8.13 If petrol or diesel (or any harsh chemical) is spilled on the wrap/PPF, take care to remove all of it immediately.
1.8.14 Constant exposure to petrol or diesel can damage the wrap/PPF and we take no responsibility for this. It will also exclude this section of your wrap from the guarantee.
1.8.15 Avoid car washes, as brushes will create swirls on the surface of the vinyl, as it does the same to paint on a new car. In the worst case scenario the vehicle wrap can be ripped.
1.8.16 Avoid car washes that use high power pressure washers and mechanical washers, as this will cause the edges of the vinyl to lift.
1.8.17 We recommend that you do not use any abrasive polishes, t-cut compounds, and polishes with acids or solvents in them or any silicone products.
1.9 Social Media Disclosure
1.9.1 Any dissatisfaction with service, product, work, payment or aftercare services should be discussed with the company directly and should not be discussed on social networking sites, online blogs, public online websites, private online websites (the list is not exclusive and we reserve the right to include other means not listed). Any violation of this agreement between yourself, the customer, and The Wrap Sanctuary will be sanctioned with terminating the warranty of your vehicle wrap(s) as well as legal action to be taken against you.
1.10 Insurance

1.12 Unacceptable Actions Policy
1.12.1 Physical or Verbal violence towards any member of our team at The Wrap Sanctuary, our customers, or other parties around the business park will not be tolerated.
1.12.2 Customers who we believe to have breached this will be asked to leave the business park, and if they refuse to do so, a member of security will be asked to escort you off the premises.
1.12.3 At The Wrap Sanctuary, we believe that our customers and service users have a right to be heard, understood and respected. Occasionally, certain actions by people using our service can make it very difficult for us to deal with their inquiry or concern. In a small number of cases the actions of some individuals become unacceptable because they involve abuse to our staff or our processes. When this happens we have to take appropriate steps. We have to consider whether the action impacts on our ability to do our work and to provide a service to others. People may act out of character in times of trouble or distress. We do not view an action as unacceptable, just because a person is forceful or determined. However, we do consider actions that result in unreasonable demands on our staff to be unacceptable. It is these actions that we aim to manage under this policy. There is a range of actions we consider to be unacceptable; these are:
1.12.4 Aggressive or abusive behavior:
- We understand that people can become angry when they feel that matters about which they feel strongly are not being dealt with as they wish. If that anger escalates into aggression towards our staff, we consider that unacceptable.
- Any aggression or abuse directed towards our staff will not be tolerated.
- Aggressive or abusive behaviour includes language (whether verbal or written) that may cause staff to feel afraid, threatened or abused and may include threats, personal verbal abuses, derogatory remarks and rudeness.
- We also consider inflammatory statements, remarks of a racial or discriminatory nature and unconstrained allegations, to be abusive behaviour.
1.12.5 Unreasonable Demands:
- A demand becomes unacceptable when it starts (or when complying with the demand would) impacting excessively on the work of our staff. Or when dealing with the matter takes up an excessive amount of staff time and in doing so, disadvantages other customers or services users.
- Repeatedly demanding responses within an unreasonable timescale.
- Demanding responses from several members of staff on the same subject.
- Insisting on seeing or speaking to a particular members of staff when that is not possible.
- Repeatedly changing the substance of an enquiry or complaint or raising unrelated concerns.
- Repeatedly posing a question time and again, when a response has already been given, because the individual may not like the answer they have received.
1.12.6 Unreasonable Levels of Contact:
- Sometimes the volume and duration of contact made to our staff by an individual causes problems.
- This can occur over a short period, for example, when a large number of calls or emails are received from the same person in one day. When we are dealing with a complaint or enquiry, this may occur when a person repeatedly makes long telephone calls to us or indicates to us with emails or copies of information that have already been sent or they are irrelevant to the substance of the complaint or enquiry.
- We consider that the level of contact has become unacceptable when the amount of time spent talking to an individual on the telephone, or responding to, reviewing and filing emails or written correspondence, impacts on our ability to deal with the matter, or on our responsibility for carrying out tasks relating to other members of the public.
