Job Opportunities
All positions are currently taken. However if you think you have something particularly special to offer DV please get in contact.
Please e-mail your CV to : jobs@digitalvillage.co.uk
Payment Methods
1: All EU customers - Credit Cards
- Type - Visa or MasterCard credit cards (EU issued only)
- Alternative shipping address possible following authentication. Note: If you are not offered the authentication service during the payment process, your card billing address will be your shipping
address*
2: UK customers only - Debit cards
- Type - Visa Delta, VISA Electron, Maestro, Solo are accepted
- Delivery to card registered billing address only.
If you do not fully authenticate your card then it must be registered in the country that you wish to ship the order to.
We recommend all our customers to pay by Visa or MasterCard Credit card.
Non-UK users can only use this form of payment. Both these card types increasingly offer the 'Verified By Visa' and 'MasterCard SecureCode' authentication facility. It is increasingly likely that
your Visa or MasterCard Credit card issuer is offering you this online/Internet authentication service, please check with them before placing your order. During the payment process you may be asked
to confirm your details by your bank. If you are successfully authenticated you will be offered an alternative shipping address option. This alternative delivery address option may make life easier
for you, which is why we recommend this form of payment
What are Verified By Visa and MasterCard SecureCode?
DV247.com are pleased to announce that we are now using Barclays EPDQ as the internet payment engine for our online store.
Visa and MasterCard have developed authenticated payment capabilities to improve online transaction security and to help encourage the growth of e-commerce. By creating a virtual signature in the
form of a password chosen by you when you sign up, Visa and MasterCard hopes to move toward guaranteed payments for merchants and provide a safer online commerce experience for Cardholders.
Verified By Visa and MasterCard SecureCode enable two parties (card holder and card issuer) to authenticate each other by exchanging digital certificates (electronic identifications) before
proceeding with an online transaction, assuring the Cardholder that he is dealing with a legitimate merchant and providing the merchant with proof of participation of the real Cardholder. This gives
both parties the confidence to proceed and creates a digitally signed record of the transaction that can be verified afterwards.
For more details about the two schemes please refer to the following links:
MasterCard - http://www.mastercard.com/securecd/welcome.do
Verified by Visa - http://www.visaeurope.com/personal/onlineshopping/verifiedbyvisa/signup.jsp
Some card issuers are being pro-active about getting their customers to enrol in Verified By Visa or MasterCard SecureCode and give you the option to sign up when we send you to their
authentication Server during the payment process. Most card issuers should give you the option to sign up later and just proceed with the payment, if not you can go to your banks website and sign up
or try using another card.
Please Note :
* the authentication process is offered by your card issuer and we are therefore not responsible for that service. In other words, the alternative shipping address option is only available if your
card issuer’s authentication system is working correctly. We do not accept COD, company cheque, personal cheque or other payment methods not listed above.
Digital Village currently takes payment immediately by authorising and settling all transactions as soon as the customer's address has been verified by their issuing bank. If a product is not available to dispatch at the time of the order, the payment taken will be regarded as a prepayment.
Cancellation Procedure & Returns policy
The first 7 days of your warranty: "No Quibble" return option
When purchasing goods or services from this website your contract is with Digital Village.
All goods and services are sold in accordance with The Consumer Protection (Distance Selling)
Regulations 2000 (SI 2000 No.2334). This regulation essentially ensures that the consumer is
given clear information about the goods and services the supplier is offering, is provided with
an order confirmation via email and has a "cooling off" period of 7 working days after the day of delivery -
during which time the consumer may cancel the contract by notifying the supplier of their
request to cancel either in writing or by email. To cancel this contract or report a fault,
please notify us in writing or by email. A telephone call is not sufficient unless both you
and Digital Village agree otherwise. This law also assumes that the consumer has a duty of care
for the products during the cancellation period and while the goods are in their possession. Goods
must be returned and re-packed in the original packaging as received complete 'AS SOLD' and in 'AS NEW'
condition (if the packaging has been opened to examine the product/s it must have been done so without
damaging the packaging or the product/s in any way). Please Note: Digital Village has the right to terminate
the contract in the event that the goods are unavailable, miss-priced or cleared funds are not received.
Please note that cancellation of contracts for the purchase of copyrighted goods
(all software, media and sample CDs) cannot be accepted where the item has been unsealed.
Goods ordered specifically to meet a consumers requirements plus contact products such as
Microphones/Brass/Woodwind/in-ear systems are non-returnable and excluded from the "cooling off"
period/return option.
Digital Village are particularly concerned with your complete satisfaction. Therefore in
addition to these regulations, if within 7 days of purchase, the consumer wishes to return
goods to us for reasons of incompatibility or they are not satisfied with the goods, subject
to the previous exclusions, Digital Village will refund the consumer provided the goods are
returned to us in an undamaged and saleable condition. The consumer is under a duty to restore
goods to us and to maintain them in the condition in which they were supplied by us. If goods
are damaged or not saleable as new, Digital Village reserves the right to seek recompense.
The consumer will be responsible for the cost of and return arrangements of any
goods to us, under the "7-day no quibble return option". Digital Village strongly
recommend that if returning goods by their own means, that customers use an insured courier
service, as Digital Village will not be responsible for the goods until they have been checked
and signed for. Digital Village will pay and arrange a collection from you if you report a
product fault during the initial 7 day period and the goods prove to be faulty or if there are
system incompatibility issues with hardware and software supplied by Digital Village. Similarly,
in the case of returns/complaints that can be attributed to an error by Digital Village, Digital
Village will cover the cost of collecting goods during the "7-day no quibble option"
period. Please inform us (in writing with the returning product/s) of the reason for which the
goods are no longer required or wanted.
Beyond the 7 day "no quibble" warranty period
All Digital Village products are covered by a standard one year warranty. If a fault should
occur with your product after the first 7 days of receipt, you may wish to take your product
to an authorised repair centre (with a copy of your online receipt from us) or you may wish to
return the product/s, with a copy of your online receipt and full fault description, to our
returns department. Our returns department can send your faulty product/s to the manufacturer
or authorised service centre on your behalf. In other words, goods being returned must be shipped
entirely at the expense of the customer and by their own means. Please inform us (in writing
with the returning product/s) of the fault with the product/s. If the product is found to be
faulty and is within the manufacturers warranty period we will repair it free of charge and
return the product/s to you. If we or the manufacturer are unable to repair your product
within 30 days of its receipt by us we will offer you the choice of a full refund or to supply
you an alternative product equivalent.
To obtain a returns authorisation please email webreturns@digitalvillage.co.uk

We advise all customers to Log-in to our site and view their order status records. Your order status will change from 'New' to 'Confirmed when item/s are picked from our warehouses to dispatch.
The status will change once more, to 'Shipped', when one or more of your ordered items has been dispatched from one of our warehouses. Some items are sent together on one tracking number, others may
be packaged separately or dispatched from different warehouses. You should therefore, track the shipment/s by clicking on the tracking number/s. You will also be sent a shipment email on the day we
dispatch all or part of your order. Please note, the tracking number will not work until some time after 18:00 on the day of dispatch.
When will I receive my order?
