Terms and Conditions

 

Terms & Conditions

This page (together with the documents referred to on it) tells you the terms & conditions on which we supply any of the products (Products) listed on our website www.artyalphabet.co.uk (our site) to you.
Please read the terms and conditions carefully before ordering any Products from our site. You (The Customer) should understand that by ordering any of our Products, you agree to be bound by these terms and conditions.

Price and Payment
The price of any product will be quoted on our site, except in cases of obvious error.

These prices include VAT and delivery costs (to mainland UK locations.) 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.

Personalised Items

Once I have received the information required to work on your design, you will be added to my order book and will get started on your design as soon as possible. You will be e-mailed a proof of your design, usually within 4-6 working days however this can take up to 7-10 working days during busy periods. Working days are Mon-Fri only, although I do occasionally work over the weekend to ensure that the lead times are kept to a minimum. If you require an item urgently or by a set date please contact me and I will let you know if I can accommodate your request to ensure that it is received in time.

Please note that occasionally emails containing proofs are blocked by our customer's email provider. All proofs will be emailed directly from jayne@artyalphabet.co.uk to the email address provided on Etsy, it can be helpful to add this email address to your contact list to ensure that it doesn't arrive in your junk/spam email.

If you're in a hurry because it's a gift or you just can't wait for it for printed products, please let us know and we can see whether we can upgrade you to the next working day delivery for UK customers or a courier service for our overseas clients. We will always do our very best to accommodate your requests. However, an extra charge will apply for this service.

Design Proof Change Requests
You are able to have the following changes to your design at no additional charge:
• Colour change(s) to background or word colours.
• Word changes: We understand that after you have placed your order you might realise that you have missed out some wording or have changed your mind about some of the wording. We are happy to add up extra words at no additional charge prior to the proof being approved. After the proof has been approved your design will be printed, if your design has already been printed you will incur a charge for a re-print if additional words are required.

The following changes would incur a £12.49 charge as these would constitute a full re-design:
• Font type change: much time is spent carefully arranging your words to create a well-proportioned design. Changes to the font type affects word spacing and therefore a new design layout is required.
• Asking to see your wording in a different design shape, this would be classed as a new design.

Colour Matching
Please note we will try our best to ensure the closest match possible, however images and designs may vary slightly from the ones viewed on your computer due to your screen settings.

Arty Alphabet can provide printed samples of colour charts, you pay the postage for the sample charts but this charge can be redeemed off your next order. This way you are able to match the colours to your theme.

Gift certificates cannot be used or redeemed anywhere except online via the Arty Alphabet website.

Gift certificates cannot be used or redeemed without the authorised claim code, cannot be redeemed for cash, cannot be replaced if they are lost or stolen, cannot be used or redeemed towards previous purchases, cannot be used or redeemed to purchase other gift certificates, cannot be resold, and are not refundable.

Only one certificate code can be used per transaction. If you have more than one code you may place separate orders. Any purchase exceeding the value of a gift certificate code requires the use of a valid credit card to complete the transaction.
