The term ‘VA CLUB’ refers to the Services and Goods provided by the VOCLA® subscription service.
The terms ‘VOCLA’, ‘we’, ‘us and ‘our’ refer to VOCLA Limited. VOCLA Limited's registered office is Unit 2, Tilson Road, Roundthorn Industrial Estate, Manchester, UK, M23 9GF, and whose company registration number is 07910951, registered with the Registrar of Companies for England and Wales.

By using the services of the VA CLUB (collectively, the ‘Services’) and purchasing products (collectively, the ‘Goods’), you are agreeing to all of the VA CLUB Terms and Conditions set out on this page and the VOCLA Privacy Policy.
VOCLA® may change these VA CLUB Terms and Conditions at any time without prior notice. You should check these terms regularly to take notice of any changes made. Your continued use of the Website and your Subscription to the VA CLUB after any such changes constitutes your acceptance of any new VA CLUB Terms and Conditions.
Where the VA CLUB Terms and Conditions require you to provide written notification to VOCLA®, this can be done by e-mailing contact@vocla.com
2) VA CLUB Subscription
The VA CLUB is a men’s underwear subscription service.
The VA CLUB is available for delivery to the countries listed within the Further Answered Questions on the VA CLUB page of the Website. VOCLA® has the right to change the countries to which the VA CLUB is available at any time, either by way of a temporary suspension or removal of Services. VOCLA® will inform you if this affects you and offer a cancellation or alternative Service.
When you subscribe to the VA CLUB, you will select the number of pairs of underwear, the waist size, the style (jockstrap, brief or boxer) and the frequency (every month or every quarter) that you wish to receive Goods.
The date of the month that you place your initial Subscription will become the date that we take payments for future Subscriptions (your ‘Payment Date’). If your Payment Date is on 31st of a month, payment will be taken on the last day of each month. Your credit or debit card details that you specify for your initial Subscription and/or update within your account over time, will become your ‘Payment Method’.
These selections and choices collectively become your ‘Subscription’.
VOCLA® will select underwear for you each month. You will not be aware of what that underwear will be, other than the selections that you have made for your Subscription – the number of pairs, the size and the style.
3) VA CLUB Account
As a subscriber of the VA CLUB, you are provided with an online account (your ‘VA CLUB Account) where you can manage your Subscription at www.VOCLA.com (the ‘Website’).
You can change your Subscription selections within your online VA CLUB Account or by contacting VOCLA®. Changes need to be made prior to your next Payment Date for those changes to take effect.
Access to your VA CLUB Account is permitted on a temporary basis, and we reserve the right to withdraw or amend the Services without notice and for any reason, including access to your VA CLUB Account, which may result in the forfeiture and destruction of all information associated with you. We will not be liable if for any reason your account is unavailable at any time or for any period.
4) Terms of Sale
By creating a Subscription with the VA CLUB, you are offering to purchase Goods and receive Services subject to the following VA CLUB Terms and Conditions.
4.1. Our Contract
When subscribing, you undertake that all details within your VA Account are true and accurate.
When you subscribe, you will receive an acknowledgement e-mail confirming your Subscription.
A contract between us to provide each Subscription, will not be formed until we have received payment in full and as cleared funds for that month’s or quarter's Subscription.
VOCLA® retains the right to cancel and refund any Subscription for any reason and at any time.
4.2. Pricing
Your Subscription fee along with any postage and packaging costs are detailed on your initial e-mail confirmation of your Subscription and within your VA CLUB Account.
The Subscription fee is inclusive of VAT at the United Kingdom’s rate if delivery of your Subscription is within the United Kingdom. Your Subscription fee does not include VAT, if delivery of your Subscription is outside the United Kingdom and therefore no VAT refund, deduction or reclaim will be made.
Subscription prices are set at the time of your initial Subscription. Prices are subject to change at any time, but VOCLA® we will give you at least 30 days’ notice and offer you the option to cancel your Subscription. Future subscribers may be offered a different price. You may cancel your Subscription and re-start a new Subscription at a new price if you wish.
4.3. Payment
Your Subscription fee along with any postage and packaging costs is taken as a recurring payment on your Payment Date.
Payment can be taken by any method shown on the Website, but you must possess a valid credit or debit card issued by a bank acceptable to us. You must be the authorized user of the credit or debit card. You may change the payment method within your VA CLUB Account in advance of your Payment Date. VOCLA does not accept payment by Klarna, Clearpay or PayPal for subscription products.
It is your responsibility to ensure that there are sufficient funds to cover the cost of the Subscription. If your payment method fails for any reason, we will attempt to take payment each week for two weeks following your Payment Date, after which your Subscription will be cancelled or paused.
For debit/credit card payments, you will be e-mailed 7 days prior to a subscription renewal and when your card is due to expire, so this can be updated.
Goods will not be dispatched until payment of cleared funds is received.
4.4. Discount Codes and Promotions
We may from time to time offer promotional discount codes which may apply to the VA CLUB.
The terms and conditions of use relating to any discount code will be specified at the time of issue. VOCLA® reserves the right to vary the terms at any time.
VOCLA® may reject the use of or remove the availability of a discount code at any time and for any reason.
Only one discount code may be used for each purchase. Discount codes do not apply to postage and packaging charges, unless otherwise specified.
Discount codes must be applied at the time and place that they are valid and will not be applied retrospectively after a payment has been taken for Goods or Services.
If a subscription is made using a discount code or any other discount, and the subscription is cancelled before dispatch, VOCLA® reserves the right to not dispatch the subscription box and to refund the subscriber instead, on the basis that this behaviour indicates that the customer had no real intention of subscribing.
Recurring Discounts
Where a recurring discount is applied (ie a discount over a set number of payments), the subscription cannot be cancelled during that period. If the subscription is switched to another style, the recurring discount won't roll-over to the new style.
First Box Discount
Where a discount is given on the first box, that deal is limited to one use per subscriber. The first box dispatched will be made up from previous months' subscription products. Therefore, if a current subscriber subscribes to another box, they are likely to receive a product that they have already received.
4.5. Deliveries
Once payment has cleared in full, VOCLA® aims to dispatch your Subscription within 3 working days.
Your Subscription will be delivered to the address given on your VA CLUB Account. It is your responsibility to ensure that the delivery address is correct. You can change your address prior to your Payment Date by either contacting VOCLA® or by changing your delivery address within your VA CLUB Account.
Deliveries are only made to locations that can be serviced by the United Kingdom’s Royal Mail and its partners. VOCLA® cannot dispatch parcels to PO Box or drop box addresses. VOCLA® may withdraw delivery services at any time.
Delivery times are not guaranteed and are subject to any delays resulting from postal delays, Customs processing or force majeure for which we will not be responsible, including any loss or damage suffered by you through reasonable or unavoidable delay in delivery. Please refer to the Further Answered Questions section on the VA CLUB Website page for estimated delivery times.
All parcels either have a GPS barcode that is scanned on delivery by the Royal Mail and used to determine the exact location of delivery, a tracking barcode to show the whereabouts of the parcel or a signature service where the recipient signs for acceptance of the parcel. If any of these confirm that a parcel has been delivered and/or signed for receipt on delivery, VOCLA® will not consider the parcel to be lost.
Parcels may be left with a neighbour or can be held at local post offices or postal collection points if the recipient is not available to accept the parcel at the time of delivery.
Tracking details are provided to customers by e-mail when an International tracked service is selected as part of the Subscription. Tracking details are provided by e-mail. It is your responsibility to ensure that the correct e-mail is provided so you can receive the tracking details. VOCLA® cannot be held responsible if e-mails cannot be delivered due to factors outside our control, such as spam filters, firewalls and incorrect e-mail addresses.
Goods are not considered to be lost until after 10 working days for deliveries within the United Kingdom and 20 working days past the expected delivery date for International deliveries, if the tracking shows that the Goods have cleared Customs authorities. If Goods are lost, VOCLA® will check all available tracking details and then send replacement Goods if available. It is the policy of VOCLA® to send replacement Goods if available rather than issue a refund. You must notify us of a missing parcel within 30 days of dispatch. Notification of a missing parcel received after 30 days will be handled at our discretion.
You must tell VOCLA® if a parcel is later delivered that was previously considered to be lost. VOCLA® will consider whether to send a pre-paid mailing bag for you to return those Goods or to re-charge for the Goods.
If you fail to take delivery of the Goods or provided an incorrect or incomplete delivery address which did not allow the Goods to be delivered, we will contact you to re-arrange delivery. You may be charged the additional cost of delivery. At the discretion of VOCLA®, the cost that VOCLA® paid for any postage, may be deducted from any refund.
4.6 Customs
When ordering Goods from VOCLA® for delivery outside the EU you or the recipient may be subject to import duties, taxes and fees which are levied according to local Customs policies and/or laws. VOCLA® cannot be responsible for the payment of these.
Customs authorities may open and inspect packages.
Customs processing may cause delays to delivery of parcels, of unlimited length. VOCLA® is unable to contact Customs authorities whilst they process a parcel.
4.7. Title and Risk
The ownership of the Goods shall not pass to you until VOCLA® has received cleared funds in full for your Subscription plus all other sums which are due. The Goods are at your risk from the time of delivery.
4.8. Cancellations
You have the right to cancel your Subscription at any time prior to your Monthly Payment Date through your online VA Account or by informing VOCLA® in writing.
4.9. Returns and Exchanges
The VA CLUB does not allow returns or exchanges due to the intimate nature of underwear products, for hygiene reasons and because the VA CLUB is based on the premise that you receive mystery underwear selected by VOCLA®, effectively at a discount to the recommended retail price. It is your responsibility to ensure that the selections you make within your VA CLUB Account for size, style and quantity remain appropriate.
In the case of faulty Goods we shall, after receiving written notification of the fault, ask you to return the Goods yourself and refund your reasonable postage costs or alternatively provide you with a pre-paid mailing bag, access to a Tracked Returns Service or pre-paid postage label to return the Goods. If you are able to provide photographic evidence of any fault, we may not then require the Goods to be returned.
In the case of Goods that develop a fault over time, VOCLA® will consider refunds for Goods that were purchased within the last three months.
VOCLA® will provide replacement Goods where available, to replace faulty Goods. If replacement Goods are not available, VOCLA® will either provide an alternative or refund you.
But VOCLA® will not provide replacement Goods or refunds where the washing instructions of Goods have not been correctly followed or where it is considered that there has been unreasonable care or wear and tear.
Any refunds are due within 7 days of the Goods being received back or within 7 days of our agreement to refund you. Refunds will be made in the same manner as the original payment.
