Terms & Conditions of Sale

1. Format of the Contract
1.1 These terms of sale apply to all goods supplied by Inkjet UK Limited, whose business address for contacts is at 95-97 Nicolson Street, Edinburgh, Scotland, EH8 9BY (the "Supplier").

1.2 No contract exists between you and the Supplier for the sale of any goods until the Supplier has confirmed the despatch of the goods ordered or advised you of any delay in the despatch of said goods and confirmed acceptance of the order. Once the Supplier does so, there is a binding legal contract between us.

1.3 By way of clarification, an acknowledgement of your order will be sent to you via e-mail when you place your order, and we will apply to your card issuer for authorisation for a deferred payment (See 3.1 for definition of a deferred payment) but we retain the right to refuse your order due to any of the following conditions:

  • The product you ordered being unavailable from stock.
  • Our inability to obtain authorisation for your payment.
  • The identification of a pricing or product description error.
  • You not meeting the eligibility to order criteria set out in the main Terms and Conditions.

To minimise the risk of your order being refused please supply a valid e-mail address, a land line telephone contact number and a permanent address when filling out your account details.

Please note that first orders and high value orders may only be shipped to the address at which your payment method is registered.

1.4 The contract is subject to your right of cancellation (see below).

1.5 The Supplier may change these terms of sale without notice to you in relation to future sales.


2. Description and price of the goods
2.1 The description and price of the goods you order will be as shown on the Supplier's website at the time you place your order.

2.2 The goods are subject to availability. If on receipt of your order the goods you have ordered are not available in stock, you will be notified by email of the expected delay and a new intended despatch date for your order. At this point you have the right to cancel your order if you are unsatisfied with the new intended despatch date. The cancellation must be in writing (an email from an email address held on our records that corresponds to this order is acceptable). The deferred payment on your card will be voided and thus no charge will be made.

2.3 Every effort is made to ensure that prices shown on the Supplier's website are accurate at the time you place your order. If an error is found, the Supplier will inform you as soon as possible and offer you the option of reconfirming your order at the correct price, or cancelling your order. If the Supplier does not receive an order confirmation within 14 days of informing you of the error, the order will be cancelled automatically. If you cancel, the Supplier will refund or re-credit you for any sum that has been paid by you or debited from your credit card for the goods.

2.4 In addition to the price, you may be required to pay a delivery charge for the goods.


3. Payment
3.1 Definition of a Deferred Payment: A deferred payment is where we (the supplier) will obtain authorisation from the customer's card issuer to debit the customer's account. At this point no funds will be transferred for a period of up to six months until the deferred authorisation is either voided or released. We release the deferred payment once we are ready to despatch the order, therefore debiting the cardholders account with the total funds necessary to cover the order.

3.2 Payment for the goods and delivery charges can be made by any method shown on the Supplier's website at the time you place your order. Authorisation for a deferred payment shall be due before the delivery date and time for payment shall be of the essence.

3.3 There will be no delivery until cleared funds have been received or a card payment has been fully authorised and released by the card issuer.

3.4 Payments shall be made by you without any deduction whether by way of set-off, counterclaim, discount, abatement or otherwise unless you have a valid court order requiring an amount equal to such deduction to be paid by the Supplier to you.


4. Delivery
4.1 The goods you order will be delivered to the address you give when you place your order, except that deliveries are not made outside the United Kingdom. First orders and high value orders will only be made to the registered payment address.

4.2 Orders placed before 4:00 pm on a working day will be processed that day and will be delivered as per the requested delivery option provided no additional security checks are required and all stock items are available. (A working day is any day other than weekends and bank or other public holidays.)

4.3 If delivery cannot be made to your address for reasons under the Supplier's control the Supplier will inform you as soon as possible and refund or re-credit you for any sum that has been paid by you or debited from your credit card for delivery.

4.4 If you deliberately fail to take delivery of the goods (otherwise than by reason of circumstances under control of the Supplier) then without prejudice to any other right or remedy available to the Supplier, the Supplier may:

4.4.1 Store the goods until actual delivery and charge you for reasonable costs (including insurance) of storage; or

4.4.2 Sell the goods at the best readily obtainable price and (after deducting all reasonable storage and selling expenses) account to you for any excess over the price you agreed to pay for the goods or charge you for any shortfall below the price you agreed to pay for the goods.

4.5 If you fail to take delivery because you have cancelled your contract under the Distance Selling Regulations the Supplier shall refund or re-credit you within 30 days for any sum that has been paid by you or debited from your credit card for the goods, less any expenses incurred for failed delivery.

4.6 Every effort will be made to deliver the goods as soon as possible after your order has been accepted. However, the Supplier will not be liable for any loss or damage suffered by you through reasonable or unavoidable delay in delivery. In this case, the Supplier will inform you as soon as possible.

4.7 Time for delivery shall not be of the essence. The goods may be delivered by the Supplier in advance of the quoted delivery date.

4.8 Upon receipt of your order you will be asked to sign for the goods received in good condition. If you are unable to check the contents of the package at that moment in time please sign for the parcel as "UNCHECKED". Failure to do so may affect any warranty claims that you make thereafter.

4.9 Orders outside of the UK mainland may incur a charge for delivery depending on the items ordered.
