Expiry Date on Payment Card
Please ensure that the expiry date of your payment card is after the date you place your order. Payment is taken when your order is placed online and in the event that the payment card has expired we will be unable to take payment and fulfill your order.
JR Pass Exchange Orders (“the goods”)
Prices
We will make reasonable efforts to present accurate information but we cannot guarantee the price or our ability to supply any particular item.
All prices shown on www.jrpass.com are to be seen as guide prices, and do not constitute an offer to sell. Formal formation of a contract and acceptance of your order only occurs once we have received payment and dispatched the rail pass. Until we formally accept your order, receive payment and dispatch the order, placement of an order will constitute an offer to purchase.
It is always possible that, despite our best efforts, the Goods we sell may be incorrectly priced. We will normally check prices before accepting your order so that, where the Good's correct price at your order date is less than our stated price at your order date, we will charge the lower amount. If the Good’s correct price at your order date is higher than the price stated to you, we will contact you for your instructions before we accept your order. If we accept and process your order where a pricing error is obvious and unmistakeable and could reasonably have been recognised by you as a mispricing, we may end the contract, refund you any sums you have paid and require the return of any goods provided to you.
While JRPass Ltd makes every effort to ensure that prices in other currencies are correct according to current exchange rates, JRPass Ltd makes no guarantee that these prices are accurate or correct.
Occasionally our suppliers may increase their prices unexpectedly, and this is often something we become aware of only upon ordering stock from them. In the event that this occurs, or in the event of a pricing error howsoever caused, we will check with you to see if you still wish to receive the item at the new price.
All prices include VAT where applicable. If the rate of VAT changes between your order date and the date we supply the Goods and/or services, we will adjust the rate of VAT that you pay, unless you have already paid for the Goods and/or services in full before the change in the rate of VAT takes effect.
Availability
If for any reason beyond our reasonable control, we are unable to supply a particular item; we will not be liable to you. If it is impossible to supply an item, we will remove the item from the order and deduct the item price from the total order cost accordingly.
If you are unsatisfied, please contact us as soon as possible and we will attempt to rectify the problem within reason. Please note that we aim to dispatch your order as soon as possible. For most orders placed Monday to Friday this will be within one business day. We can make alterations to your order up to the point of dispatch, however, once dispatched any changes to your order will have to be made via our standard returns process (below).
Acceptance & Contract
There will be no contract of any kind between you and us unless and until we actually dispatch the goods to you. Your order is an offer to buy from us. Nothing that we do or say will amount to any acceptance of that offer until we actually dispatch the goods to you. At any point up until then, we may decline to supply the goods to you without giving any reason. At the moment that the goods are dispatched (and not before), a contract will be made between you and us.
Payment
Please note that for online sales we take payment for the goods and the booking fee at the point of checkout and not at the dispatch stage.
We accept payment with Mastercard, Visa and Maestro. Please note that for online sales we take payment at the point of checkout and not at the dispatch stage.
Delivery
All our deliveries are carried out using Royal Mail, FedEx Express and UPS. As such we are subject to their terms and conditions.
Once your order has been received by us, we aim to dispatch your goods within 1 business day (Mon-Fri) subject to stocking levels.
Once we have dispatched your Goods, you should normally receive them within the timeframe of the delivery type chosen. However, while we maintain a close relationship with our delivery company, and will attempt to rectify any delivery problems as soon as reasonably possible, the operation of the delivery company we use is outside our control. Time of delivery shall not be subject to any contractual obligation, and JRPass Ltd does not offer any guarantee that your order will arrive within the delivery time-frame chosen. In the event of the delay of delivery of your order or a mistake in the order itself, JRPass Ltd accepts no liability for any associated expense, loss of profits or other losses incurred whatsoever. Failure to deliver on time will not entitle the customer to terminate their purchase contract with JRPass Ltd, or refuse delivery. Returns should be made using the instructions below.
Whilst we make every effort to deliver all your goods in the agreed time, we will not be liable if we fail to do so in part or in full due to circumstances beyond our control.
Delivery will be made to the address specified by you on the completed order form. We reserve the right to charge for any extra carriage costs incurred should the incorrect address by entered on your order. Until dispatch of your order please contact us to amend or add any delivery details.
Please note that JRPass Ltd will not be responsible for any lost or damaged parcel as a result of incomplete or inaccurate address.
JRPass Ltd can only be responsible for delivery to an address that has been registered with Royal Mail, FedEx Express or UPS. We cannot guarantee delivery to any addresses inputted that are not registered with Royal Mail, FedEx Express or UPS.
Refunds and Returns

Deductions
If you are exercising your right to change your mind:

If we refund you the price paid before we are able to inspect the goods and later discover you have handled them in an unacceptable way, you must pay us an appropriate amount.
- The maximum refund for delivery costs will be the costs of delivery by the least expensive delivery method we offer. For example, if we offer delivery of the Goods within 3-5 days at one cost but you choose to have the the Goods delivered within 24 hours at a higher cost, then we will only refund what you would have paid for the cheaper delivery option.

Please allow 14 days (in addition to the delivery time) for the return and refund to be processed. If there is a delay in processing the return and refund caused by an event outside our control then we will contact you as soon as possible to let you know and we will take steps to minimise the effect of the delay. Provided we do this we will not be liable for delays caused by the event.
