The Customer <> printeddirect.com Relationship

By placing any order with us, you confirm that you are at least 18 years old and are legally capable of entering into binding contracts.

After placing an order, you will receive notification from us acknowledging that we have received your order. All orders are subject to acceptance by us and we will inform you if for any reason we cannot process your order. The contract between us will only be formed at the point that we send you our order confirmation notification.

Availability and delivery

We will use reasonable endeavours to ensure that your order will be fulfilled within the delivery timeframe agreed between us. We will make every effort to deliver on time, any delivery date given is a best estimate and no liability is accepted for any loss arising from any delay or error in delivery of product.

All orders will be deemed to be delivered when delivered to the delivery address provided by you on the order form. You will need to ensure the delivery address you provide is correct, as we will not accept any liability for lost or misdelivered parcels, where the incorrect delivery address was provided. The risk in the product will pass to you upon delivery of the product to you.

You will have the option to select your delivery method (next day, 2 days, 3 days, 4-6 days, 7+ days) subject to availability in your country. You can also select a variable timed service where applicable. Prices are dependent on delivery address, weight, order value, and other factors. For full pricing and availability, please see our website and select the service you require.

Wherever possible, we will deliver the ordered products within the estimated delivery times stated on our website. However, we will not be liable for any loss or damage suffered by you through any reasonable or unavoidable delay in delivery. In this event, we will inform you of any delay as soon as possible. If the delay exceeds 3 days, you may cancel your order. In these circumstances, we will refund the price of the product in full within 14 days. Any custom and excise charges that may occur from the import or export of any product ordered are not our responsibility.

Risk and title

The products will be your responsibility from the time of delivery to you or your customer. Ownership of the products will only pass to you when we receive full payment of all sums due in respect of the products, including, but not limited to, all delivery charges.

Prices and invoicing

All product and delivery prices must be agreed and signed off by both you and us prior to any orders being accepted by us. We reserve the right to review and revise any agreed pricing at any time, changes will not affect orders placed prior to any such changes being notified to you buy us (subject to any changes in applicable laws).

Unless stated otherwise, all agreed prices exclude delivery costs, and product and delivery prices are exclusive of VAT. VAT is added (at the applicable rate to your country) during our invoicing process based on the final value of your orders including delivery as applicable. You are responsible for any other taxes applied in the territory to which the products are sent. However, if the rate of VAT changes between the date of your order and the date of delivery, we will adjust the VAT you pay accordingly, unless you have already paid for the products in full before the change in VAT takes effect.

Please note that you must comply with all applicable laws and regulations of the country to which the products are delivered. We will not be liable for any breach by you of any such laws. Payment on account may be permitted for orders at our sole discretion. Where account facilities have been approved by us invoices will be raised in accordance with any process agreed between us. Where such a process has not been agreed then one invoice will be raised on the last day of each calendar month detailing all orders placed across the course of that month. Please note that no changes to orders are possible once submitted by you.

If a pricing error is obvious or unmistakeable and could have reasonably been recognised by you as an error, we do not have to provide the products to you at the incorrect (lower) price.

Account / Credit customers

All credit accounts are subject to prior approval by us. Where an account has been approved by us and established for you all invoices shall be due within 28 days of the invoice date unless special settlement terms have been approved by us in writing. We reserve the right to charge interest on a daily basis at 2% above the prevailing rate set by the Bank of England on all late payments.
