Terms & Conditions
Introduction
These terms and conditions shall apply to and govern all contracts between us, as the Seller (“The Seller”) and you as the buyer (“The Buyer”). These terms & conditions shall apply as the complete and exclusive terms of each contract and no variation in any documents from the Buyer including but not exhaustively any letter, receipt acknowledgement, or other form shall be effective unless expressly agreed in writing by the Seller. Unless previously agreed in writing, all orders placed with ukprinting.com prior to us offering credit facilities will only be accepted on a pro-forma basis or online credit/debit card transaction. By opting to submit your credit application by electronic mail, you acknowledge that you have read, understood and agree with our standard terms and conditions and that they are legally binding and apply to all sales made.
Prices
All prices shown on the site exclude VAT but have Value Added Tax ("VAT") included at the current relevant rate on our estimates and at payment stage. If the Buyer places an order via the Sellers web site the price payable for the goods will be set out on the web site at the time the Buyer places the order. Whilst every endeavour will be made to maintain the prices we reserve the right to alter prices at any time without prior notice. ukprinting.com reserves the right to increase the quoted price on bespoke items not included for sale on the website, if there is an increase in costs to the Seller between the date of order and dispatch. This includes any exchange rate changes. Should expedited delivery be agreed and require overtime or other additional costs these additional costs can be charged. Work carried out at The Buyer’s request whether experimentally or otherwise will be subject to an additional charge. Additional charges may be made to cover extra work involved where copy supplied is not clear or legible.
Estimates given by the Seller shall be deemed to be withdrawn unless the Seller receives notice of The Buyers acceptance in writing within 28 days from the date hereof. We will honour all quotes within this 28 day period with the exception of any unforeseen or exceptional circumstances. All prices for bespoke print related orders are quoted subject to sight of final artwork and available production capacity. In the case of work being cancelled by the Buyer, the Seller will be entitled to payment for work already carried out, materials ordered and other additional costs involved, including all allocated and scheduled production hours which are no longer saleable.
Proofs & Origination
Any Author’s and Customers corrections to artwork supplied by The Buyer and any additional proofs necessitated by such corrections will incur an additional charge unless included in the estimate. The Seller accepts no responsibility for any breach of confidentiality, loss of reputation, financial or other loss arising, from carrying out the Buyer’s instruction to transmit proofs or other material via any electronic means. This includes e-mail or facsimile transmission. Due to variations in equipment, paper, inks and other conditions between colour proofing and actual production runs, a reasonable variation in colour between colour proofs and the completed job will be deemed acceptable. Where the greatest degree of accuracy is imperative, it is highly recommended to order wet proofs produced on the intended press as these can be guaranteed to produce more accurate results. The Seller accepts no responsibility whatsoever for any errors when the Buyer has been submitted proofs and an order acknowledgement and any artwork, content or specification errors have not been corrected by the author or buyer.
Delivery & Payment
In the absence of the express written agreement of the Seller to the contrary, all orders placed with ukprinting.com prior to us offering credit facilities will only be accepted on a pro-forma basis only, unless previously agreed in writing. The Buyer will be primarily liable for all sums due to the Seller in respect of any order placed irrespective of whether or not such Buyer is acting as principal or agent. If the Buyer fails to take delivery the Seller shall be entitled without prejudice to any other rights to invoice the goods whereupon payment in full shall become due forthwith. Should work be suspended or delayed through any default of the Buyer, the Seller shall be entitled to payment for work already carried out. For goods which are contracted for delivery by instalments late delivery of an instalment shall not entitle the Buyer to reject any other instalment under the same Contract. The Seller cannot guarantee exact quantities in respect of any Goods supplied and shall be deemed to have fulfilled its obligation under the Contract by delivery or manufacture of a quantity of the Goods plus or minus ten percent of the quantity specified in the Contract. Our site contains a large number of Goods and it is always possible that, despite our best efforts, some of the Goods listed on our site may be incorrectly priced. If the pricing error is obvious and unmistakeable and could have reasonably recognised by you as an error, the Seller does not have to provide the Goods to you at the incorrect (lower) price.
Without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing the Seller shall not be liable for late delivery or failure to deliver through any cause which is beyond the reasonable control of the Seller. Any delivery date given by the Seller to you shall be an estimate date only and while the Seller will endeavour to comply with such date the Seller shall not be responsible for late delivery. The Seller shall not be liable for any penalty, loss, injury, damage or expense arising from any delay or failure in delivery or performance from any cause at all nor shall any such delay or failure entitle the Buyer to refuse to accept any delivery or performance of or repudiate the Contract. If the Buyer fails to take delivery of the Goods or any part of them on the due date and to provide any instructions or documents required to enable the Goods to be delivered on the due date, The Seller may on giving written notice to the Buyer arrange for the storage of the Goods, and on the service of the notice risk in the Goods shall pass to the Buyer, delivery of the Goods shall be deemed to have taken place, and the Buyer shall pay the Seller all costs and expenses including storage and insurance costs arising from its failure. The Buyer shall own the Goods once the Seller has received payment in full, including all applicable delivery charges.
If the Buyer has a credit account with the Seller, payments shall be made 30 days end of month. The buyer will make full payment to the Seller by the last day of the month following the invoice date. If payment is not made on the due date the Seller, without prejudice to its other rights hereunder shall be entitled to charge, in addition to any monies due hereunder, interest on the overdue outstanding amount at the rate of 4% per week in force from the date the monies first became due until the outstanding amount is paid. For orders over £500, ukprinting.com reserves the right to request a 50% non-refundable payment at the time the order is placed. Every endeavour will be made to deliver the correct quantities ordered, but it will be a term of contract that margins of 10 per cent for overs or shortages shall be charged or deducted on bespoke customised products.
