From time to time, we may offer promo codes which may apply to any, or certain specified purchases made through the Taboo Boutique Website.

Each Promo Code will be subject to specific terms & conditions specificed at the time the promo code is issued (including the length of time to use the code) in addition to those mentioned in these Terms of Use.

There are two ways of receiving a promo code:

• We may send one to you via email for reasons such as, without limitation, your birthday and student validation.
• From time to time, we may offer promo codes on the Taboo Boutique Website that you can apply at checkout in order to receive a specific discount from us.

Only one promo code can be used against an order at any one time.

A promo code can't be applied to an order after that order has been placed.

A maximum spend limit of £500 (or equivalent local currency) pre-discount applies per order.

Certain brand or product category exclusions may apply so we’ll let you know if you can't use your promo code on anything before you complete your purchase.

If the promo code has expired, you won’t be able use it.

We’re afraid we can’t accept any responsibility once we have given you a promo code and we are not obliged to provide you with a replacement if it gets lost and/or gets used by someone else as this will result in the promo code being cancelled.

Promo codes are non-transferable and cannot be exchanged for cash. If you receive a promo code, it can only be used by you on your own Taboo Boutique account for the purpose for which it was issued. You must keep it confidential and only use it for making your own orders on Taboo Boutique. Don’t pass your code directly on to others or make it available to others (for example, posting it on social media or on a forum). If we believe that at the point of purchase or retrospectively you are abusing the use of promo codes in any way (for example, selling them to others), we reserve the right to cancel your promo code or suspend/close your Taboo Boutique account without letting you know beforehand.

We reserve the right to amend these terms and conditions at any time.
