Goods

The description of the goods is as set out in the website, catalogues, brochures or other form of advertisement. Any description is for illustrative purposes only and there may be small discrepancies in the size and colour of the goods supplied.

In the case of any goods made to your special requirements, it is your responsibility to ensure that any information or specification you provide is accurate.

All goods which appear on the website are subject to availability.

We can make changes to the goods which are necessary to comply with any applicable law or safety requirement. We will notify you of these changes.

Personal information

We retain and use all information strictly under the privacy policy.

We may contact you by using e-mail or other electronic communication methods.

Basis of Sale

The description of the goods in our website does not constitute a contractual offer to sell the goods. When an order has been submitted on the website, we can reject it for any reason, although we will try to tell you the reason without delay.

A contract will be formed for the sale of goods ordered only when you receive an email from us confirming the order (order confirmation). You must ensure that the order confirmation is complete and accurate and inform us immediately of any errors. We are not responsible for any inaccuracies in the order placed by you. By placing an order you agree to us giving you confirmation of the contract by means of an email with all information in it (i.e. the order confirmation). You will receive the order confirmation within a reasonable time after making the contract, but in any event not later than the delivery of any goods supplied under the contract.

Any quotation is valid for a maximum period of 30 days from its date, unless we expressly withdraw it at an earlier time.

No variation of the contract, whether about description of the goods, fees or otherwise, can be made after it has been entered into unless the variation is agreed by the customer and the supplier in writing.

We intend that these terms and conditions apply only to a contract entered into by you as a consumer. If this is not the case, you must tell us, so that we can provide you with a different contract with terms which are more appropriate for you and which might, in some respects, be better for you, e.g. by giving you rights as a business.

Once your payment has been received, we will send you a visual proof for you to check carefully and approve before we continue to print. Once your visual proof has been approved, we start processing the order immediately and although we try and accommodate further changes or cancellations, we can’t guarantee that we will complete them and you may be liable for the full order price. The visual proof is the final process in your order and contains all the detailed customisation and garment details, it is vital that you review this properly. After confirmation changes may not be possible, and any mistakes will be your responsibility. We do not go ahead with a visual until it has been confirmed in writing by yourself.

If you fail to approve your visual mock up in time, and due to your delay in approval of the visual your deadline can’t be met, your cancelation rights will be limited as we will have incurred time and charges up to this stage that may not be refundable. We will always do our best to please our customers, but you accept up to 25% cancellation charges.

Please note, we order blank clothing, garments and products from wholesaler distributors, and then customise these items with printing and embroidery for our clients. All sizes and colours shown online on the catalogues are not under our control, and we cannot be held accountable for colour variations from on screen colours to real product colours, nor can we be held responsible for sizing issues. We do our very best with our quality control to manage these problems with rarely occur. We highly recommend ordering samples to ensure these size and colour problems are not encountered. Please also note that, if a specific colour or size is not available, with orders, if we have not got the time to contact you, we may swap the garment or product for an alternative in a similar colour and style and size, in order to fulfil your order. By accepting our terms and conditions, you understand, agree and accept any change we make in the fulfilment of your order, with no rights of refund.

Price and Payment

The price of the goods and any additional delivery or other charges is that set out on the website at the date of the order or such other price as we may agree in writing.

Prices and charges do not include VAT at the time of the order.

You must pay by submitting your credit or debit card details with your order and we can take payment immediately or otherwise before delivery of the goods.

We accept payment by bank transfer and most major credit and debit cards. We can offer credit account subject to a credit check. Please get in touch with a member of staff to discuss your options for this.

We can, depending on the company credit score, offer credit accounts with up to 30 day payment terms. When this is approved, we will advise on the payment terms. If the payment is late, we will add a 3% surcharge to the order after 3 days. If this is still not paid, we will add 7% to the order after 7 days. If there is no payment after 2 weeks, we will hand the invoice over to a debt collection agency to process this.

Delivery

We will deliver the goods, to the delivery location by the time or within the agreed period or, failing any agreement, without undue delay and, in any event.

• In any case, regardless of events beyond our control, if we do not deliver the goods on time, you can (in addition to any other remedies) treat the contract at an end if:

• we have refused to deliver the goods, or if delivery on time is essential taking into account all the relevant circumstances at the time the contract was made, or you said to us before the contract was made that delivery on time was essential; or

• after we have failed to deliver on time, you have specified a later period which is appropriate to the circumstances and we have not delivered within that period.

If you treat the contract at an end, we will (in addition to other remedies) promptly return all payments made under the contract.

If you were entitled to treat the contract at an end, but do not do so, you are not prevented from cancelling the order for any goods or rejecting goods that have been delivered and, if you do this, we will (in addition to other remedies) without delay return all payments made under the contract for any such cancelled or rejected goods. If the goods have been delivered, you must return them to us or allow us to collect them from you and we will pay the costs of this.

If any goods form a commercial unit (a unit is a commercial unit if division of the unit would materially impair the value of the goods or the character of the unit) you cannot cancel or reject the order for some of those goods without also cancelling or rejecting the order for the rest of them.

We do not generally deliver to addresses outside England and Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland, the Isle of Man and Channels Islands. If, however, we accept an order for delivery outside that area, you may need to pay import duties or other taxes, as we will not pay them.

You agree we may deliver the goods in instalments if we suffer a shortage of stock or other genuine and fair reason, subject to the above provisions and provided you are not liable for extra charges.

If you or your nominee fail, through no fault of ours, to take delivery of the goods at the delivery location, we may charge the reasonable costs of storing and redelivering them.

The goods will become your responsibility from the completion of delivery or customer collection. You must, if reasonably practicable, examine the goods before accepting them
