10.4. You will not have any right to cancel a Contract for the supply of any of the Products in this case as such Products will have been customised to your specification or, where You do not receive a physical good (i.e. a Product is downloaded from our Site), this constitutes a service under the Regulations and performance of that service will have been completed before the end of any period set down in the Regulations for cancellation.

10.5. If You are seeking to cancel the Contract because the Product was mis-described, where We find that this was the case, We will refund the Price of that Product in full to You. Where such refund is due, We will refund You o the credit card or debit card used by You to pay

11. DELIVERY

11.1. Any estimated delivery dates and delivery periods contained in an Order Confirmation shall be estimates only and not be fixed schedules. The delivery period shall commence after the Order Confirmation has been sent, on the Working Day on which all Customer Content (as defined in clause 15.3) required for production have been received by Us by 9 a.m. on any Working Day. If You have chosen as a payment option “payment in advance”, then the order is only worked on after receipt of payment in full, including any delivery costs. The delivery period is specified in Working Days. “Working Days” are Mondays to Fridays, excluding public holidays.

11.2. The delivery period shall be deemed to have been observed if the Products We have sent the Products to You via any shipment means. This shall be subject to You:

a) paying Us in full for the Products, including shipment charges; and

b) providing Us with any Customer Content required to prepare the Products.

11.3. Where We are not able to deliver the Products to You within the estimated delivery period other than for the reasons set out in clause 11.2 or clause 24 We will contact You and inform You of the new estimated delivery period.

11.4. We do not deliver to addresses outside the Republic of Ireland. Where You wish to purchase our Products from outside this jurisdiction, please visit our local website in that jurisdiction.

12. RISK AND TITLE

12.1. The Products will be at your risk from the time of delivery. If the Products are ready for dispatch and shipment or acceptance of them is delayed for reasons for which We are not to blame (including, but not limited to, a Force Majeure Event as set out in clause 24), the risk shall pass to You when You receive notice that the Products are ready for shipment.

12.2. Ownership of the Products will only pass to You when We receive full payment of all sums due in respect of the Products, including delivery charges and all other sums which are or which become due to Us from the You on any account.

12.3. Until the ownership of the Products has passed to You, (1) You shall hold the Products on a fiduciary bases as our bailee; and (2) store the Products (at no cost to Us) separately from your other goods in such a way as they remain readily identifiable as our property (where possible).

13. PRICE

13.1. The price of any Products will be as quoted on our Site from time to time (and shall exclude delivery charges (where applicable)) (“Price”). We take reasonable care to ensure that the Prices are correct at the time when the relevant information was entered onto the system. However if We discover an error in the Price of Product(s) You ordered, please see clause 13.4 for what happens in this event.

13.2. These Prices include VAT at the applicable current rate chargeable in Ireland for the time being. 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, unless You have already paid for the Products in full before the change in VAT takes effect.

13.3. Prices are liable to change at any time, but changes will not affect orders in respect of which We have already sent You an Order Confirmation.

13.4. Our Site contains a large number of Products and it is always possible that, despite our reasonable efforts, some of the Products listed on our Site may be incorrectly priced. We will normally verify Prices as part of our dispatch procedures so that, where a Product's correct price is less than our stated Price, We will charge the lower amount when dispatching the Product to You. If a Product’s correct price is higher than the Price stated on our Site, We will normally, at our discretion, either contact You for instructions before dispatching the Product, or reject your order and notify You of such rejection.

13.5. We are under no obligation to provide the Product to You at the incorrect (lower) price, even after We have sent You an Order Confirmation, if the pricing error is obvious and unmistakable and could have reasonably been recognised by You as a mis-pricing.

14. HOW TO PAY

14.1. Payment for all Products must be by credit card, Paypal or by payment in advance. We accept payment with MasterCard and Visa.

14.2. The Prices apply on the condition that the order data on which the Prices are based does not change after conclusion of the Contract. Costs caused by subsequent changes instigated by You shall be charged separately.

14.3. We shall send invoices solely by email with a qualified electronic signature. By submitting an offer, You consent to this form of invoice. Payments shall be due regardless of whether and when an invoice is issued.

14.4. Unless specified otherwise on the Order Confirmation, the total Price shall be due for payment immediately after conclusion of the Contract (upon receipt of the Order Confirmation).

14.5. You shall make all payments due under the Contract in full without any deduction whether by way of set-off, counterclaim, discount, abatement or otherwise unless You have a valid court order requiring an amount equal to such deduction to be paid by Us to You.

15. PRINTED PRODUCTS

15.1. Where the Products You have purchased on our Site are to be printed by Us, the material content of this service will be set out in the information provided on our Site and in particular the order summary page prior to completion of the order, the Order Confirmation and, where relevant, any agreed contractual amendments and additions.

15.2. Once You receive an Order Confirmation, You may only amend an order where an amendment agreement is accepted by Us for the amendment. A change request submitted by You constitutes an offer to Us to enter into an amendment agreement. We are not obliged to accept your offer. Any amendment following an Order Confirmation may be subject to an increase in the Price. Where this is the case, We will notify You of the change in Price.

15.3. We shall carry out all print orders required for any Product purchased by You solely on the basis of the print content sent by You, which includes but is not limited to text, images, photographs, designs, instructions or any other material or direction from You (“Customer Content”). Error-free printing is not guaranteed in the case of differing data formats or other specifications.

15.4. You must carefully check the Customer Content to determine whether it is suitable for the print order in question before sending it to Us. We shall not check the Customer Content. You alone shall bear the risk of any errors in the printed Products owing to incorrect Customer Content.

15.5. At your express request, formats other than those specified in the customer information on the Site or any notification to You shall also be processed, where technically feasible. If errors occur as a result of conversion of any Customer Content into formats that can be processed by Us, responsibility for them shall not be borne by Us. You bear the risk of conversion itself.

15.6. If relevant Customer Content is not sent in CMYK mode, We cannot convert this Customer Content. Conversion of RGB data or ICC colour profiles will naturally result in deviations in colour from the original. Liability for such deviations in colour shall lie solely with You. By sending Customer Content in a mode other than the specified CMYK mode, You expressly declare that this Customer Content will be converted at your sole risk.

15.7. You undertake not to send Us any Customer Content that is pornographic, racist, discriminatory, or content that is liable to corrupt the young, glorifies violence, defamatory, infringes third party rights or otherwise is a breach of the law. If You breach this obligation, We shall be entitled to terminate the Contract without notice. Other rights and claims remain unaffected.

16. PROOFS

16.1. Where available, and in addition to the Price, You may order the creation of selected paper proofs and screen proofs (“Proofs”). Due to the different printing technology, the print image of a paper proof prepared in digital printing will contain minor variations from the printed product to be produced in offset printing. This applies all the more so for screen proofs due to the screen display. We will nevertheless make reasonable efforts to ensure that the proofs produced are as similar to the original as possible.

16.2. In order to avoid any delays to delivery, if there are no reasons for objection, You must approve the proof for printing in writing within 2 Working Days following delivery of the Proof to You. By issuing your approval, You confirm the Customer Content embodied within the Proof including, but not limited to its quality standards, tolerances and colour variations.

16.3. If You refuse to accept the Proof, You must provide Us with revised Customer Content and cooperate with Us in preparing a new Proof. In this case the delivery time selected by You will recommence following the receipt of the revised Customer Content.

16.4. Minor variations that do not constitute a deviation from the Product description and which are within the agreed quality standards, tolerances and colour deviations, may result due to a change of supplier, material switch or changes in production processes; no objections can be raised in this respect by relying on a deviation from Proofs.

17. OWNERSHIP AND INDEMNITY

17.1. The printing forms or carriers produced and used by Us to produce the Products shall remain our property.

17.2. Digital data and other objects required for reuse, as well as semi-finished and finished Products, shall not be retained by Us beyond the delivery schedule or sent to You.

17.3. Our Products shall be created solely on the basis of your content-related stipulations in the Customer Content. We have no influence on the contents of the printed Products. You warrant and represent that:

a) You have all rights to use, disseminate and publish the Customer Content You have sent, including, but not limited to text and photographic material;

b) Customer Content does not infringe any intellectual property rights of any third party; and

c) Customer Content does not violate any applicable law.

17.4. You agree and undertake to indemnify and keep Us indemnified against all liabilities, costs, expenses, damages and losses (including any direct, indirect or consequential losses, loss of profit, loss of reputation and all interest, penalties and legal and other professional costs and expenses) suffered or incurred by Us arising out of or in connection with any breach of the representations and warranties contained in this Contract or otherwise relating to any claim made against Us for actual or alleged infringement of a third party’s intellectual property rights arising out of or in connection with any Customer Content.

18. COMPLAINTS

18.1. Obvious defects of the Products purchased by You must be reported to Us within 5 Working Days of the Products being received. The deadline for reporting complaints shall only be regarded as having been observed if such notification is sent within this time.

18.2. Complaints solely due to the fact that You have failed to heed the information on requirements for Customer Content cannot be raised. This shall apply in particular to printed matter that is based on RGB colours and in which the resolution is too low or in which fonts that are not embedded are used.

18.3. Slight deviations in colour shall not be defects. This shall also apply in the case of deviations in colour from a previous order that was printed by Us.

18.4. Short or excess shipments of up to 10% of the ordered print run that are customary in the trade must be accepted by You, provided they are reasonable in the individual case. The supplied quantity shall be charged.

19.2. Nothing in these Terms limit or exclude our liability for:

19.5. Except as expressly stated in these Terms, We do not give any representation, warranties or undertakings in relation to the Products. Any representation, condition or warranty which might be implied or incorporated into these Terms by statute, common law or otherwise is excluded to the fullest extent permitted by law.

20.4. If a Product is defective, your sole remedy shall be the replacement of the Product or a refund. If part of the delivery of Products has defects, this shall not authorise You to object to the entire goods.

20.5. Except as expressly stated in these Terms, We do not give any representation, warranties or undertakings in relation to the Products. Any representation, condition or warranty which might be implied or incorporated into these Terms by statute, common law or otherwise is excluded to the fullest extent permitted by law. In particular, We will not be responsible for ensuring that the Products are suitable for your purposes.

21. WRITTEN COMMUNICATIONS
