Terms & Conditions
Acceptance and Price Variations
A contract exists between the Company and customer when the customer accepts a dated and costed proposal. Quotations are valid for a maximum of 30 days, save for any variation in the rate of UK VAT. Prices are subject to increase after this.
EU member customer invoices are subject to VAT/TVA.
Agreed Expenses and Bought-in Work
Agreed expenses are charged at cost. Bought-in work (design, print etc.) is charged at cost plus a 17.5% handling fee. Any variation to this Condition must be agreed with the Company before an order is made
Delivery
Schedules of delivery are estimates only. The Company will use its best efforts to deliver at times stated but shall not be liable for any delays due to causes beyond its control. Goods shall be deemed to be delivered when handed to carriers.
Liability
While it makes every effort to ensure that work accurately reflects customer requirements, the Company cannot be held responsible for errors or disputes which may arise with the customer or a third party after such work has been approved by the customer. In particular, by agreeing to use the Company's services, the customer agrees to be held liable for any such error.
Payment
First commissions are payable by all customers in advance; thereafter UK customers can apply for 30 days credit on a VAT invoice. Settlement is preferred in UK£, but a US$ facility is available (at the Bank of England's 'Buy' rate if the customer agrees to pay all charges; otherwise subject to a surcharge). Any deviation from this Condition must be agreed with the Company before an order is made. The Company reserves the right to charge interest on overdue accounts at 2% over the Bank of Scotland's base lending rate.
Payment of any retainer fees are invoiced in advance at the beginning of each calendar month, subject to 30 days credit. Other monies, including time charged and other fees agreed, are invoiced in arrears and payable as above.
Title to Goods
Risk in the goods passes to the customer on delivery but legal title remains with the Company, so long as any sum due on any account or grounds remains unpaid. The customer agrees that, in seeking to exercise its rights under this clause, the Company or its agents may at any reasonable time enter the customer's premises and remove his goods.
Copyright
Copyright and all other intellectual property rights deriving from his work remains with the Company unless otherwise agreed in writing.
Cancellation
The Company shall be entitled to suspend or cancel deliveries and/or work under any contract between it and the customer if any payment due from the customer is not made on the due date. Once placed by the customer, orders cannot be cancelled nor products returned for credit.
Force Majeure
The Company shall be released from all liability to the customer if performance of the contract is delayed or prevented by any cause whatsoever beyond its control.
Disputes
Any dispute arising between the customer and the Company under these terms and conditions shall be determined by English law.
Definitions
The phrase ‘The Company’ in these terms and conditions refers to Inkwell Publishing Ltd, a company of limited liability and registered under English law.
