WHERE TO FIND INFORMATION ABOUT US AND OUR PRODUCTS AND SERVICES

You can find everything you need to know about us, Kaizen Print Limited, and the products and services we offer on our Website before you order. We also confirm the key information to you in writing (meaning by email) after you order.

WE DON’T GIVE BUSINESS CUSTOMERS ALL THE SAME RIGHTS AS CONSUMERS

For example, business customers can't cancel their orders, they have different rights where there is a problem with a product and we don't compensate them in the same way for losses caused by us or our products. Where a term applies just to businesses or just to consumers, this is clearly stated. You are a business customer if you are buying products wholly or mainly for use in connection with your trade, business, craft or profession, even if you are an individual.

IF YOU ARE A BUSINESS CUSTOMER THIS IS OUR ENTIRE AGREEMENT WITH YOU

If you are a business customer these Terms and Conditions constitute the entire agreement between us in relation to your purchase. You acknowledge that you have not relied on any statement, promise, representation, assurance or warranty made or given by us or on our behalf which is not set out in these Terms and Conditions and that you have no claim for innocent or negligent misrepresentation or negligent misstatement based on any statement in this agreement.

THE FOLLOWING TERMS APPLY TO ORDERS, PROOFS, AND PRINTING

a) We only accept orders when we’ve checked them. We contact you to confirm we've received your order. We will then contact you again to confirm that we have checked your artwork and any other relevant aspects of your order, and that we have accepted your order.

b) Sometimes we reject orders. Sometimes we reject orders, for example, because you are located outside our delivery areas (as stated on our Website) or because the Work was mispriced by us. When this happens, we let you know as soon as possible and refund any sums you have paid.

c) We shall not be responsible for any errors not corrected by you where we have provided you with proofs. We will charge you for any necessary alterations to the Work and for additional proofs where you have failed to correct an error. When style, type or layout is left to our judgement, we will charge you extra if you wish to make changes to such style, type or layout.

d) Where you waive your right to examine proofs provided by us, we shall not be responsible for any errors in the finished work.

e) Due to their inherent nature proofs supplied by us shall be accurate in respect of layout and content only.
You understand and accept that proofs shall not be accurate for colour comparison to the finished Work unless otherwise agreed in writing. If you request (and we agree to) a more specific and achievable level of colour matching additional charges will apply.

f) You are responsible for making sure your measurements are accurate. If we're making or supplying the Work to measurements you provide, you're responsible for making sure those measurements are correct.

g) Once proofs have been approved by you, in writing, we will proceed to produce the Work.
At this stage, it is not possible to amend or cancel the Work. You must view all proofs at 100% size to see the exact size of the Work when printed.

h) There may be unavoidable variations in the printing process. We will make all reasonable endeavours to obtain the best possible colour reproduction on the Work but variation is inherent in the printing process. You acknowledge and agree that we cannot guarantee an exact match in colour or texture between any photograph, proof, Electronic File, Print Ready File, previously printed matter (whether printed by the us or by a third party) or any other materials supplied by you and the finished Work. You must supply such materials to us in CMYK format.

Where the Work is produced using full colour printing (also known as process colour or CMYK printing), you acknowledge and agree that RGB and/or Pantone colours (also known as spot colours) may not be accurately reproduced due to the inherent nature of the printing process.

The colour of the Work may be affected by the type of material chosen for the Work to be printed on, as well as by any applied lamination or varnish. You acknowledge and agree that we will not be responsible for any variations in colour or any other defects or irregularities arising out of such variations.

Any Work that does not meet your expectations, but which has been printed in accordance with the graphics file in terms of colour and densities, shall not be deemed to be faulty and shall not be re-printed, nor shall any credit be made available to you.

i) There may be unavoidable variations in quantity. We shall use all reasonable endeavours to deliver the correct quantity ordered. However, some variation is inherent in the printing process and you acknowledge and agree that minor variations of the final quantity produced subject to a variance of plus or minus 5% are immaterial, the same to be charged or deducted. Where the shortage is greater than 5% the limit of our liability to you shall be to make up the shortage within a reasonable period of time or to provide you with a credit for the shortage quantity. All claims with regard to the quantity of the goods shall be made in writing to us such that they reach us within 5 working days of receipt of goods. If we do not receive such a claim within this time period, the goods shall be deemed compliant with the order as regards quantity.

j) Digital printing. The digital printing processes used can result in the movement of paper through the press and may cause movement of the image on the sheet by +/- 2mm. This may be noticeable on tight register labels and also on artwork that has a border included. You acknowledge that we cannot guarantee that there will be no paper movement during the digital printing process or that there will be no movement in the position of artwork as a result.

k) We can change products in certain circumstances. We can always change a product:

i) to reflect changes in relevant laws and regulatory requirements; and

ii) to make minor technical adjustments and improvements, for example to address a security threat. These are changes that don't affect your use of the product.

(l) We can suspend supply (and you have rights if we do). We can suspend supply of a product. We do this to:

i) deal with technical problems or make minor technical changes;

ii) update the product to reflect changes in relevant laws and regulatory requirements; or

iii) make changes to the product.

We will let you know if we do suspend supply and may allow you to terminate. We contact you in advance to tell you we're suspending supply, unless the problem is urgent or an emergency. If we suspend supply, or tell you we're going to suspend supply, you can contact our customer services team at websolutions@kaizenprint.com to end the contract and we'll refund any sums you've paid in advance for products you won't receive.

m) Suitability of Work. You are responsible for ensuring that any product you order from us is suitable for its intended use. We shall not be responsible if you order a product that is unsuitable for its intended use, including, but not limited to:

i) incorrect type of paper specified for goods to be post processed through a laser, inkjet or similar printing device;

ii) self adhesive or label products which have special requirements (such as to be removable); and

iii) products that will be used in connection with food or food packaging.

We will use all reasonable endeavours to assist you in specifying the correct product if you request that we do so.

n) There are some things we won’t print. We shall not be required to print any matter which in our reasonable opinion is or may be of an illegal, offensive, extreme or libellous nature or which does or may infringe the proprietary or other rights of any third party.

You shall indemnify us in respect of any claims, costs and expenses against or incurred by us arising out or in connection with any printing by us for you of any material which is or may be illegal or unlawful or which otherwise is libellous or infringes copyright, patent, design or any other proprietary or personal rights. The indemnity shall include (without limitation) any amounts paid on a lawyer's advice in settlement of any claim that any matter is libellous or such an infringement.

THE FOLLOWING TERMS APPLY TO PRICING

a) Payment shall become due before commencement of the Preliminary Work or, if no Preliminary Work is required, on commencement of the Work, unless we agree otherwise with you in writing.

If you order by telephone, we will invoice you once we receive your order. You will pay our invoice within 30 days of receipt, or such other period as we may agree in writing.

e) We collect interest on late payments. If we're unable to collect any payment you owe us we charge interest on the overdue amount at the rate of 3% a year above the Bank of England base rate from time to time. This interest accrues on a daily basis from the due date until the date of actual payment of the overdue amount, whether before or after judgment. You pay us the interest together with any overdue amount.

f) If you are a business customer you have no set-off rights. If you are a business customer you must pay all amounts due to us under these terms in full without any set-off, counterclaim, deduction or withholding (other than any deduction or withholding of tax as required by law).

g) We pass on increases in VAT. If the rate of VAT changes between your order date and the date we supply the Work, we adjust the rate of VAT that you pay, unless you have already paid in full before the change in the rate of VAT takes effect.

You can obtain a copy of the Credit Account Application Form and details of the criteria by contacting our customer services team at websolutions@kaizenprint.com. Where credit facilities are granted, we reserve the right to withdraw them at any time, without having to give reasons. If we do withdraw credit facilities, all outstanding invoices become due and payable immediately.

If credit facilities have been granted, payment terms will be agreed between us in writing and you shall pay invoices by the due date. If any item(s) remain unpaid by that due date charges will apply, in accordance with s5A and/or s6 of the Late Payment Commercial Debt (Interest) Act 1998 or any subsequent enactment.

k) General Lien.
Without prejudice to any other remedies we may have under these terms or at law, in respect of all unpaid debts due from you, we shall have a general lien on all goods and property of or provided by you in that are in our possession (whether worked on or not) and shall be entitled on the expiration of 14 days' notice to dispose of such goods or property as agent for you in such manner and at such price as we thinks fit and to apply the proceeds towards such debts, and shall when accounting to you for any balance remaining be discharged from all liability in respect of such goods or property.

b) Estimated lead times are not binding on us.
Unless otherwise agreed between us in writing, completion and delivery lead-times (measured in working days from receipt of cleared or authorised payment) are a guide only and, whilst we will make all reasonable endeavours to adhere to proposed timescales, time is not of the essence in any contract with you.

c) We are not responsible for delays outside our control.
If our supply of the Work is delayed by an event outside our control, we contact you as soon as possible to let you know and do what we can to reduce the delay. As long as we do this, we won't compensate you for the delay, but if the delay is likely to be substantial you can contact our customer services team at websolutions@kaizenprint.com to end the contract and receive a refund for any products you have paid for in advance, but not received.

d) We will generally make delivery kerbside at your address.

If we agree an alternative arrangement, we reserve the right to charge you an additional amount.

Delivery involving difficult access and/or unreasonable distance from vehicular access shall entitle us to make an extra charge to reflect the extra costs involved.

g) Each instalment delivered to you shall constitute a separate contract between us.
Where the Work is to be delivered in instalments, each delivery shall constitute a separate contract and failure by us to deliver any one or more of the instalments in accordance with these terms, or any claim by the Customer in respect of any one or more of the instalments, shall not entitle the Customer to treat the order as a whole as repudiated or cancelled.

h) Title and risk.

You can't change your mind about an order for:

i) services, once these have been completed;

ii) goods that are made to your specifications or are clearly personalised; and

iii) goods which become mixed inseparably with other items after their delivery.

For the avoidance of doubt, the right to change your mind does not apply to any goods provided by us that are made to your specifications.

c) The deadline for changing your mind.
If you change your mind about a product you must let us know no later than 14 days after:

i) the day we deliver your product, if it is goods. If the goods are for regular delivery (for example, a subscription), you can only change your mind after the first delivery. If the goods are split into several deliveries over different days, the period runs from the day after the last delivery; or

ii) the day we confirm we have accepted your order, if it is for a service.

h) We reduce your refund if you have used or damaged a product.
If you handle the product in a way which would not be acceptable in-store, we reduce your refund, to compensate us for its reduced value. For example, we reduce your refund if the product's condition is not "as new", price tags have been removed, the packaging is damaged or accessories are missing. In some cases, because of the way you have treated the product, no refund may be due.

i) When and how we refund you. If your product is a service or goods that haven't been delivered or that we're collecting from you, we refund you as soon as possible and within 14 days of you telling us you've changed your mind. If your product is goods that you're sending back to us, we refund you within 14 days of receiving them back from you (or receiving evidence you've sent them to us). We refund you by the method you used for payment. We don't charge a fee for the refund.

LIABILITY

a) Our liability to consumers.
We're responsible for losses you suffer caused by us breaking this contract unless the loss is:

i) Unexpected. It was not obvious that it would happen and nothing you said to us before we accepted your order meant we should have expected it (so, in the law, the loss was unforeseeable).

b) We can transfer our contract with you, so that a different organisation is responsible for supplying your product.
We'll tell you in writing if this happens and if you are a consumer we'll ensure that the transfer won't affect your rights under the contract. If you're a consumer and you're unhappy with the transfer you can contact our customer services team at websolutions@kaizenprint.com to end the contract within 30 days of us telling you about it and we will refund you any payments you've made in advance for products not provided.

c) You can only transfer your contract with us to someone else if we agree to this.
If you're a consumer we may not agree. If you're a business you need our agreement to transfer your contract with us and it's entirely up to us whether we give it.

d) Nobody else has any rights under this contract.
This contract is between you and us. Nobody else can enforce it and neither of us will need to ask anybody else to sign-off on ending or changing it.

e) If a court invalidates some of this contract, the rest of it will still apply.
If a court or other authority decides that some of these terms are unlawful, the rest will continue to apply.

f) Even if we delay in enforcing this contract, we can still enforce it later.
We might not immediately chase you for not doing something (like paying) or for doing something you're not allowed to, but that doesn’t mean we can't do it later.

UNDERSTANDING VALUE ADDED TAX ON PRINTED PRODUCTS AND VAT EXEMPTIONS

By law KaizenPrint are required to charge Value Added Tax (VAT) on many of the printed products available from KaizenPrint Ltd, but there are a few exemptions as laid out by HMRC. To comply we have removed VAT from the ordering process, and you will not be charged VAT for the following:

No VAT is charged on goods or services that are:

i) exempt from VAT.

ii) outside the scope of the UK VAT system

VAT – exempt products

No VAT will be charged on:

i) Saddle stitched brochures / stapled booklets.

ii) Spiral / Wiro / Wire bound documents.

VAT – Special Requirements

VAT will be charged for leaflets and flyers if:

i) The paper size is larger than A4.

ii) The quantity is less than 50 copies.

iii) Any lamination is used.

iv) The paper weight is 250gsm or heavier.

VAT will be charged for folded leaflets if:

i) The quantity is less than 50 copies.

ii) Any lamination is used.

iii) The paper weight is 250gsm or heavier.

What happens if I have VAT and VAT – exempt products in the same cart?

We won’t charge VAT on exempt products even when there is a mix of VAT-able and non-VAT-able goods in the cart. Our clever tech people have sorted this. However, to comply with HMRC, we do charge VAT on the delivery fee if this is applicable.

What about deliveries to Republic of Ireland and if I’m VAT registered in ROI?

We will charge VAT on deliveries to ROI unless of course you are VAT registered in ROI. At checkout, click Business or Private, if a Business just complete business name, invoice address including EIR code etc (enter your valid EU VAT registration number if you have it) and we will remove the VAT on any goods and on any delivery charge applicable. If Private and not VAT registered, we will charge VAT on all applicable goods and delivery at standard UK VAT rate.
