An order placed online constitutes an offer to buy the product you have ordered from us.

A legally binding contract between us will be formed only when you have received this and under no circumstances before payment has been received and accepted.

You do not have the right to cancel a contract for the supply of any of our products. This is because the cancellation rights in the UK do not apply to the sale of custom-made articles or goods made to a customers specification. Unfortunately once we have approved your artwork we cannot offer a refund if you decide that for whatever reason you no longer require your order.

We do not guarantee turnaround times, or delivery dates.
