FOLDED (MEDWAY) TERMS & CONDITIONS
Last Revised April 12, 2026
Welcome to the Terms & Conditions (these “Terms”) for the website operated by or on behalf of Folded (Medway) (“Company”, “we”, “us” or “our”). These Terms apply to your access to and use of our website, booking pages, collection and delivery services, and any related content, tools, features and functionality offered by us (collectively, the “Services”).
Please read these Terms carefully, as they include important information about your legal rights. By accessing and/or using the Services, including by placing an order with us, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not understand or agree to these Terms, please do not use the Services.
For purposes of these Terms, “you” and “your” means you as the user of the Services. If you use the Services on behalf of another person, household, company or other entity, then “you” includes you and that person or entity, and you represent and warrant that you are authorised to bind them to these Terms.
1. Who May Use the Services
You must be at least eighteen (18) years of age to use the Services or place an order with us. By using the Services, you represent and warrant that you meet this requirement.
2. Our Services
Folded (Medway) provides a laundry collection, wash, dry, fold and delivery service in selected areas of Medway and surrounding locations.
Our standard service may include:
• collection from your nominated address;
• transportation of your laundry to and from a third-party laundrette or processing facility;
• machine washing;
• tumble drying;
• folding; and
• redelivery to your nominated address.
We may offer additional or upgraded services from time to time, including but not limited to separate wash options, priority turnaround options, ironing, or other add-ons, each of which may be subject to additional charges and conditions.
3. Orders for Services
3.1 Booking
The Services may permit you to place orders for laundry collection and delivery through our website or through any third-party booking platform we use. By placing an order, you agree to provide accurate, current and complete information, including your name, address, contact details, collection information, and any notes or instructions relevant to your laundry.
We reserve the right, with or without prior notice and in our sole discretion, to:
(a) refuse any order;
(b) limit the areas we serve;
(c) cancel, reschedule or decline any booking;
(d) modify, suspend or discontinue any service, offering, or service area.
3.2 Acceptance of Orders
Once we receive your booking, we may send you a confirmation. Your receipt of a booking confirmation does not necessarily mean that we have accepted your order in all respects. We reserve the right to accept or decline any order for any reason, including where we believe a booking falls outside our service area, contains inaccurate information, presents an operational or safety issue, or otherwise cannot be fulfilled.
3.3 Payment
You agree to pay all charges applicable to your booking, including the service price, any additional fees, and any applicable taxes or charges. Payment may be taken at the time of booking or otherwise in accordance with the payment terms displayed at checkout.
Where additional charges arise after collection, including due to reassessment of load size, overfilled bags, undeclared service requirements, or additional processing requirements, you authorise us to request or collect such additional payment before redelivery or as otherwise reasonably required.
4. Loads, Pricing and Assessment
4.1 Load Basis
Our pricing is based on the number of loads selected at booking. Unless otherwise stated, one (1) load is based on one (1) standard laundry bag of ordinary domestic laundry.
4.2 Standard Bag Size
A standard load is intended to reflect a reasonably filled, standard reusable shopping bag or equivalent volume of household laundry. Bags that are significantly overfilled, unusually heavy, tightly packed, or otherwise exceed the standard load size may be reassessed.
4.3 Reassessment of Loads
You acknowledge and agree that final load size is assessed after collection and/or during processing. If, in our reasonable judgment, a bag exceeds the standard load size, includes substantially more laundry than booked, or requires more processing capacity than anticipated, we may:
(a) reclassify the laundry as one or more additional loads;
(b) apply a reasonable surcharge; or
(c) request approval for revised pricing before completing the service.
4.4 Separate Wash and Special Processing
Where you select a separate wash option or request particular separation instructions, additional charges may apply. We reserve the right to determine, acting reasonably, how many loads or wash cycles are required to fulfil the requested level of separation or care.
4.5 Pricing Changes
We may revise or change pricing, availability, descriptions, and service features at any time. Any such changes shall not affect bookings already confirmed unless the scope of the order changes, additional charges arise due to reassessment, or an obvious pricing error has occurred.
5. Collection and Delivery
5.1 Collection Window
You are responsible for ensuring that your laundry is available for collection at the agreed location during the agreed time window. We are not liable for delays or failed collections caused by inaccessibility, incorrect address details, gated access issues, inability to contact you, unsafe conditions, or your absence.
5.2 Missed Collections
If we attend a collection and are unable to collect your order due to your absence, failure to provide access, failure to leave laundry available as agreed, or any issue outside our control, the booking may be treated as a missed collection and may be non-refundable.
5.3 Delivery Windows
We aim to deliver orders within the estimated timeframe shown at booking or communicated to you, but all delivery times are estimates only and not guaranteed. Delivery times may vary due to traffic, weather, laundrette availability, equipment issues, route changes, order volume, or other factors outside our reasonable control.
5.4 Safe Place Deliveries
If you request that laundry be collected from or delivered to a safe place, concierge, neighbour, reception area, or other third party location, you do so at your own risk. We are not responsible for loss, theft or damage occurring after delivery has been made in accordance with your instructions.
6. Cancellations, Rescheduling and Refunds
6.1 Cancellation Policy
Unless otherwise stated at the time of booking, cancellations made within twenty-four (24) hours of the scheduled collection time are non-refundable.
6.2 Rescheduling
We may, in our discretion, allow you to reschedule your booking. Rescheduling within twenty-four (24) hours of collection may be treated as a late cancellation and may be subject to loss of refund or additional fees.
6.3 No-Show or Failed Service Attempts
Where collection or delivery cannot be completed because of your absence, inaccessibility, failure to leave items as agreed, incorrect details, or similar issues, we may treat the order as a no-show or failed service attempt and reserve the right to retain payment or apply additional charges.
6.4 Refunds
Refunds, where applicable, will be processed to the original payment method only. We reserve the right to refuse refunds where the service has been performed, attempted, or materially obstructed by you, or where the issue arises from inaccurate information, undeclared item risks, or circumstances outside our control.
Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits your statutory rights under applicable consumer law.
7. Your Laundry and Your Responsibilities
7.1 Standard Service Assumptions
By using our service, you understand and agree that:
(a) items may be washed together unless you select a separate wash option or clearly instruct otherwise;

7.2 You Confirm That
By placing an order, you confirm that:
(a) all items are suitable for machine washing and tumble drying;
(b) all items have accurate care labels;

8. Restricted and Prohibited Items
We may refuse, cancel, or suspend service where laundry includes, or appears to include, any of the following:
• items unsuitable for machine washing or tumble drying;
• items requiring specialist cleaning, restoration, or pressing;
• delicate fabrics, unless expressly accepted by us;
• leather, suede, fur, silk, cashmere, or similar specialist items;
• wedding garments, formalwear, couture or designer garments;
• heavily soiled, biohazardous, contaminated, pest-infested, mould-affected, or hazardous items;
• items containing chemicals, oils, solvents, bodily fluids, needles, sharps, or similar hazardous substances;
• any item which, in our reasonable judgment, presents a health, safety, hygiene, equipment, or reputational risk.
Where prohibited or unsuitable items are identified after collection, we may decline to process them, cancel the affected part of the order, apply a handling fee, or require collection by you.
9. Loss, Damage and Liability
9.1 Reasonable Care
We take reasonable care in handling customer laundry. However, you acknowledge that laundry processing involves inherent risks, including wear, fading, shrinkage, colour transfer, seam stress, fabric degradation, and other outcomes that may occur through ordinary machine washing and tumble drying.
9.2 No Liability for Certain Outcomes
To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not liable for:
(a) shrinkage, colour run, fading, stretching, bobbling, seam failure, or general wear arising from ordinary washing or drying;
(b) damage caused by incorrect, missing, misleading, or illegible care labels;
(c) damage to items that were unsuitable for the selected service;
(d) pre-existing damage, weak fabric, poor stitching, prior repairs, or age-related deterioration;
(e) damage caused by contents left in pockets or concealed within items;
(f) damage arising from undeclared delicate, high-value, specialist or prohibited items.
9.3 Limitation of Liability
Where we are found liable for loss or damage, our liability shall be limited to the lower of:
(a) a reasonable compensation amount reflecting the item’s age, condition, and current value; or
(b) the amount paid by you for the affected service.
We do not accept liability for indirect, special, incidental, or consequential losses, including loss of profit, loss of business, emotional distress, inconvenience, or loss of opportunity.
Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability where it would be unlawful to do so, including for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud, or any other liability that cannot lawfully be excluded.
9.4 Claims Window
Any claim for loss, damage or service issue must be raised with us within a reasonable time and, in any event, no later than forty-eight (48) hours after delivery of the relevant order. Claims raised later may be refused where delay makes investigation impracticable or unfair.
10. Third-Party Laundrette and Processing Facilities
You acknowledge and agree that we may use third-party laundrettes, washing facilities, drying facilities, couriers, software providers, and other third-party service providers as part of the Services. We are not responsible for the independent acts or omissions of third parties except to the extent required by law.
11. Detergents, Allergies and Preferences
We may use standard commercial detergents, fabric conditioners, and laundry products unless you expressly request otherwise and we agree to such request.
