I. How to make a Contract with us

Check variable information such as prices.
Note that this variable information is known as an "invitation to treat" and not a contractual offer from us which you may accept. This means we reserve the right to correct any errors in that information without any liability to you. It also means that in no circumstances will we be contractually bound to supply you with Products on the basis of any incorrect information, even if that information is repeated in your offer to us ("Order").
Make sure you read and understand our terms.
It is your responsibility to read the legal terms on our Website carefully and to raise any problems with us before you place your Order. That includes these Conditions, our Terms of Use and our Privacy Policy.
Please note that our Website is intended for customers within the territory of the United Kingdom only and we will therefore not accept Orders from customers outside the United Kingdom. You may further not use our Website to place Orders if you are under 18 years of age. If you accept the legal terms referred to in Condition I.3 on behalf of a corporate buyer, you represent that you are authorised to do so. If you are not so authorised, nor deemed in law to have such authority, you assume sole personal liability for the obligations set out in those legal terms.
Complete your Order.
You will be responsible for selecting the Products you wish to buy, for supplying and maintaining a functioning eMail address, your delivery address, for telling us how you wish to pay and for giving us any other information we request to enable us to fulfill your Order and comply with the Contract. All information you submit to us must be adequate, relevant, accurate and up to date. YOUR ATTENTION IS PARTICULARLY DRAWN TO CLAUSE III OF THESE TERMS.
You may pay online by Pay Pal or by any other means as set out on our Website.
When you have completed your Order, you will be shown a copy on screen. It is your responsibility to check your Order carefully to identify any errors and to correct them prior to placing your Order. The Website allows you to cancel your draft Order, and to edit any details and once you have finished checking and correcting your Order, please print out a copy before placing it.
Place your Order.
We will acknowledge receipt of your Order in each case promptly. This is not our acceptance of your Order, but a confirmation of its receipt.
Wait for our Acceptance of your Order.
You may not assume we have accepted your Order until we send you an acceptance in electronic form (”Acceptance”). Only if and when you receive our Acceptance will we have made a binding legal Contract with you.
If you pay by credit or debit card or by using the pre-payment option described on our Website, you may receive an acknowledgement from our payment processor, advising you whether or not your payment has been authorised. This acknowledgement relates to your payment only and is not our Acceptance of your Order.
We will be entitled to refuse to accept your Order if in our sole discretion we consider it necessary. If that happens we will let you know as soon as we can. If we accept your Order, we will send you an Acceptance promptly.

II. Other information about the Contract

We can only conclude the Contract with you in English, and not in any other language.
The Contract between us will consist of (1) these Conditions, (2) our Terms of Use / Customer Information, (3) your Order and (4) our Acceptance. There can only be a Contract between us if all these elements are present.
Subject to the elements described in Clause II.2. being present, the Contract will come into effect on the date of our Acceptance.
The Products we supply to you shall be subject to any restrictions set out on our Website or in the Contract.
We will not file the concluded Contract between us on line and you should therefore print out and retain copies of each element of the Contract.
You may cancel an Order that we have accepted or cancel the Contract only in accordance with clause VII of these Conditions.
These Conditions shall take precedence over and exclude any other terms and conditions you seek to impose.
We may update or change these Conditions from time to time without notice and the date of the most current version is that set out at the top of these Conditions. You must read them each time you place an Order with us through our Website.
We also reserve the right to make any changes without notice to our Terms of Use, our Privacy Policy, other information on our Website and the specification of the Website in order to comply with any applicable legal or regulatory requirements, in the interests of good business practice, or to improve the design or functionality.

III. Artwork, Obligation to review

You must ensure that the information and data concerning the printing of the Products ordered by you (“Artwork”) which you submit to us complies with the format requirements (“Format Requirements”) described in our customer information in “Artwork”. We will not accept any responsibility or liability for any colour variations, irregularities or other defects whatsoever of the Products ordered by you which are caused as a result of your Artwork not complying with the Format Requirements such as graphics and images, colours and colour mode, cut, fonts, lines, saving Artwork and transferring information which are stated in our Customer Information.
Unless you have ordered an Superior Artwork Check in accordance with clause III 5 below, we reserve the right to convert or adjust any unsuitable Artwork into a suitable format as we see fit or to cancel the Order in accordance with clause VII of these Terms.
We are unable to accept Artwork in RGB mode and any such Artwork will be automatically converted into CMYK mode. We will not accept any liability for any possible colour variations occurring as a result of such conversion.
Any additional costs incurred by us as a result of Artwork not complying with the Format Requirements shall be borne by you. We will where reasonably possible inform you by eMail in advance of any such additional costs.
We give you the option to have your Artwork checked by us (“Superior Artwork Check”) whether it complies with the Format Requirements set out above. As part of the Superior Artwork Check we will check whether the Artwork provided by you has the correct format and side margins, the correct resolution and the correct CMYK colour spectrum. We will further check whether any written text contained in your Artwork is correctly embedded and we will check for existing hairlines and transparencies and whether the joining up of levels contained in your Artwork is necessary.
If following a Superior Artwork Check your Artwork is found not to comply with the Format Requirements we will give you the option to

(a) have the Artwork adjusted by us (to the extent this is possible) so that they comply with the Format Requirements; or

(b) to submit corrected Artwork which complies with the Format Requirements; or

Where we agree to use Artwork which does not comply with the Format Requirements we will not accept any responsibility or liability for any defects or deficiencies whatsoever of the Products ordered.

IV. Price of the Products and Payment

The price payable for the Products will be calculated in Pounds Sterling. Please note, that the production only starts after the receipt of payment.
The prices on our Website include the costs of packaging and delivery within the United Kingdom, save that for Orders of free business cards (as per our Website) an additional fee of £7.50 to cover packaging and freight costs will become payable by you. Any bank charges incurred by us (if any), including, without limitation, bank charges for refunds (if any) shall be for your account. We will only make any refunds if you provide us with correct and functioning bank account and sort code details.
If you obtain a price quotation on our Website in respect of an Order, such price will remain valid for a period of 7 days provided that during such period the Order in respect of which the price quotation has been obtained remains unchanged and subject to our right to correct prices in accordance with Clause I.2 of these Conditions.
We will send you an invoice by eMail in respect of the fee for the Products ordered. If payment is not made immediately through Pay Pal or by way of pre-payment as per our Website any invoiced amount will become due and payable immediately on the date shown on our invoice.
Subject to our obligation to supply the Products at the price stated in a Contract and subject to clause III.3 we reserve the right at any time to increase the list prices of the Products and to change the range of Products available. We will endeavour to give you as much notice as we can of changes to the range and any increase in prices.
You will not be entitled to alter an Order after it has been accepted by us. If you request any alterations to an Order accepted by us, we reserve our right to either reject such alterations, or if acceptable to us, to charge you for any additional work undertaken by us and any costs and expenses (including, without limitation, any machine down-time or extra time) incurred as a result of such alterations at our standard rate of £50 per hour (minimum chargeable period is 15 minutes) or at such other rate or price then agreed with you in respect of the requested alteration. Any such agreement shall only be binding on us if expressly confirmed by us in writing.
We will charge you at our standard rates set out on our Website for any samples, drafts, specimen and any changes of any data requested by you.
In the event of exceptionally large orders, or if we have reason to believe that you may be or become unable to fulfill your payment obligations to us, we might at any time before or after the conclusion of a Contract ask you for adequate payment in advance.
If you fail to make any payment (including any payment in advance requested by us) on the due date then, in addition to any other right or remedy available to us, we shall be entitled to:

cancel the Contract or suspend the production of Products and deliveries to you;
appropriate any payment made by you to such of the Products (or Products supplied under any other Contract with you) as we may think fit; and
charge you interest (both before and after judgment) at a rate of 8% above interest base rate of HSBC Bank Plc from time to time until payment is made in full.

In addition to the remedies in Clause III.9., we will have a lien over any materials, documentation and information supplied by you until full payment of any sums owed to us under any Contract has been received.

V. Delivery

The Products you order will be delivered within the territory of the United Kingdom (except Jersey, Guernsey, Sark, Alderney, Herm and Gibraltar) to the address you give when you place your Order. We will not deliver to any location expressly excluded on our Website and outside of the United Kingdom. The delivery to post-office boxes is not possible.
If there is no one at the address given who is competent to accept delivery of the Products (all Products must be signed for on delivery by an adult aged 18 years or over), you will be notified that an attempt to deliver the Products was made and you will be given the option to either arrange for a further delivery at your cost, or to collect free of charge the Products from the nearest depot of our freight forwarder.
Every effort will be made to deliver the Products as soon as possible after your order has been accepted and in any event within 30 days from receipt by us of full payment of the price for the Order and receipt of all information we require from you in order to complete your Order. Delivery dates shall only apply if these have been expressly confirmed by us by eMail or otherwise in writing. However, we will not be liable for any loss or damage suffered by you through any reasonable or unavoidable delay in delivery or if such delay is caused by you.
We will use reasonable efforts to deliver the correct quantity of Products ordered. Variations in Product quantities are, however, inherent in the printing process and although we will endeavour to provide you with the accurate quantity of Products ordered, a variation of +/- 10% (“Permitted Error Margin”) of the total quantity ordered shall be deemed permitted and shall not entitle you or us to bring any claim for underpayment or short delivery as the case may be. For orders of paper not available through our website, the Permitted Error Margin shall be +/- 20% for Orders up to 1,000 kg of Product, and +/- 15% for Orders over 1,000 kg of Product.
Statutory public holidays at the place of production or reception will have an effect on the production and delivery time and may lead to a postponement of the delivery.

VI. Risk and Ownership of Products

You will become responsible for the risk of loss or damage to the Products ordered once they have been delivered to you.
You will become owner of the Products once we have received from you payment of the price for the Products in full.
Until such time the property in the Products passes to you, we may at any time require you to deliver up the Products and if you fail to do so forthwith, enter your premises to repossess the Products.
If the Products are sold by you before they have been paid in full, you shall hold the proceeds of the sale on trust for us in a separate account until any sum owed to us has been received by us in full.

However, we sometimes use more elaborate font designs and there may be licensing charges for these. We will let you know before we use a font if it requires a third party license.
The terms of use of the third party fonts are with the font foundry or creator and not Tim Myerson Design. In most cases copyright of the font used remains exclusively with the font foundry or creator.
We use images created by talented professional photographers. Where we license these images for use on your project there will be a charge in order to pay the photographer.

Print proofs will be supplied electronically and explained to you before being committed to the press. It is your final responsibility to approve the proofs. We will not print until we have either received in writing approval of the proof or you have paid the Invoice relating to the print job which is assumed to confirm the explicit acceptance of any proof document offered. The proof is a reproduction of what will be printed. Mistakes on that proof are the sole responsibility of the person who provides approval. We can help you proof read and prepare the document for approval. Proofing services are charged at our standard hourly rate.
We require cleared funds for print. We cannot commit your artwork to the press without cleared funds.
Colours may vary from your print proof. We cannot guarantee the colour production on your printed items will match the onscreen proof. Printed colour proofs can be supplied for an additional charge. For more accurate colour reproduction please provide a pantone colour reference from a pantone colour book or an euroscale colour otherwise we will supply colours to press in CMYK format. Spot pantone or euroscale colour reproduction may be more expensive.
Delivery will be included in our print quote to one address. We will attempt to deliver once. If you are unable to or do not accept the delivery it is your responsibility to collect the items from your local courier depot. We use a variety of couriers. Usually the courier will attempt a second delivery. There may be a charge to re-deliver.
If you repeatedly refuse acceptance or are unable to accept delivery your printed items will be destroyed and no refund is given.
Please note that once cleared funds have been received we are unable to cancel your print job or offer a refund.
If you are unhappy with your printed items when they arrive please contact us as soon as possible. We will need you to post us samples of the printed items to show how or why you are unhappy with the print quality.
We offer estimated print turnaround timings. These typically are 10 days from submission of artwork proof to delivery. These timings may vary. Proof and cleared funds must arrive before 3PM on the first day.
If you need your printed items by a specific date please let us know so that we can ensure your printed items arrive on time. We will do our best to ensure your items arrive on time but we cannot guarantee this. We will inform you of the risk at point of purchase. If we use next day 'pre 9AM' delivery by courier guarantee to deliver at or before 9AM is with the courier.

VII. Cancellation

We shall be entitled to cancel your Order and any Contract if:

in our reasonable opinion the Product or any of its contents are of an illegal, offensive or libelous nature, or
you order Products that become unavailable, in which case we are not obliged to provide substitute Products or substitute services but shall inform you of the unavailability, or
you do not pay us the price due for the Products by the due date; or
the Artwork does not comply with the Format Requirements (the terms “Artwork” is defined in clause III of these Conditions and “Format Requirements” is defined in our Terms of Use / Customer Information) and you either fail under clause III of these Conditions within a reasonable time after being requested by us by eMail to submit suitable Artwork or to provide us with your instructions to proceed with your Order using the Artwork submitted by you.

You acknowledge that the Products are of a bespoke nature made to your order. Therefore you will not be entitled to a “Cooling-off Period” during which you can cancel the Contract and return any Products ordered without incurring liability for the agreed price for the Products.
Notwithstanding clause VII 2, you may cancel an Order after it has been accepted by us until shipment of the ordered Products by giving notice to us in which case you will be liable to us for all our costs incurred through our performance of your Order up to and including the date of your cancellation, but in any event your minimum liability in the event of your cancellation shall be 20% of the total price agreed to be payable for your Order.

VIII. Our Liability

Subject as expressly provided in these Terms, and except where Products are sold to a person dealing as a consumer (within the meaning of the Unfair Contract Terms Act 1977), all warranties, conditions or other terms implied by statute or common law are excluded to the fullest extent permitted by law.
Where the goods are sold under a consumer transaction (as defined by the Consumer Transactions (Restrictions on Statements) Order 1976), your statutory rights as buyer are not affected by these Conditions.
A claim by you which is based on any defect in the quality or condition of the Products or their failure to correspond with specification shall (whether or not delivery is refused by you) be notified to us within 14 days from the date of delivery or (where the defect or failure was not apparent on reasonable inspection) within a reasonable time after discovery of the defect or failure. If delivery is not refused and you do not notify us accordingly, then you shall not be entitled to reject the Products and we shall have no liability for such defect or failure, and you shall be bound to pay the price as if the Products had been delivered in accordance with the Contract.
Where a valid claim in respect of any of the Products which is based on a defect in the quality or condition of the Products or their failure to meet specification is notified to us in accordance with these Conditions, we shall replace the Products (or the part in question) free of charge or, at our sole discretion, refund to you the price of the Products (or a proportionate part of the price), in which case we shall have no further liability to you.
Except in respect of death or personal injury caused by our negligence, or liability for defective Products under the Consumer Protection Act 1987, we shall not be liable under or in relation to this Contract or its subject matter (whether such liability arises due to negligence, breach of contract, misrepresentation, or for any other reason excluding fraudulent misrepresentation) for any technical, factual, textual or other typographical inaccuracies, errors or omissions in information on the Website, for any loss or damage arising from the use of your credit or debit card on the Website, for the unavailability of the Website (or any part of it), for any delay in providing or failing to supply the Products, or for any loss of profits, loss of business, loss of anticipated savings, loss of sales or turnover, loss of, or damage to reputation, loss of contract, loss of customers, loss of, or loss of use of any software or data, or computer or other equipment or plant, wasted management or other staff time, losses or liabilities under or in relation to any other contract or any indirect, consequential loss or damage (including loss or damage suffered by you as a result of an action brought by a third party).
Our liability under or in connection with any Contract shall not exceed the price for the Products, except as expressly provided in these Conditions.
Products requiring colour printing may differ slightly from the original or from Products of a different batch of Products produced for you under a previous order by you and any such minor differences are inherent in the printing process and shall not entitle you to reject such Products or to bring a claim for a defect in the quality or condition of the Products or failure to correspond with the agreed specification under Clause VIII 3 of these Conditions.
We expressly agree that should any limitation of liability Condition or provision contained in the Contract be held to be invalid under any applicable legislation (primary or otherwise) or rule of law by reason of some part of that Condition or provision it shall, to that extent, be deemed omitted, but if we thereby become liable for loss or damage which would otherwise have been excluded or limited, as the case may be, such liability should be subject to the other applicable limitations and provisions set out in these Conditions.

XIV. Termination of Contract

We may terminate any Contract forthwith on giving notice to you if you fail to comply with any term or condition of any Contract, or if you become bankrupt or (being a company) enter administration or go into liquidation or cease or threaten to cease to carry on business.

XV. Limitation of Action

With the exception of death and personal injury caused by our negligence, we shall not be liable for any losses or damages suffered by you as a result of your failure to comply with this clause.
If we choose to ignore a breach by you of these Conditions on one occasion, we may still take issue with you if you are in breach of the same or any other Condition after that.
If a court decides that any of these Conditions is legally unacceptable or ineffective in whole or in part, that shall not affect the other Conditions or part Conditions.
