Legal
Please read these terms carefully before placing an order with us
These terms and conditions apply to all orders placed with Shirt Printers, a trading name of A4 Apparel Ltd, registered in England and Wales. Our registered address is Pottington Business Park, Barnstaple, Devon, EX31 1HN.
By placing an order with us, you agree to be bound by these terms and conditions. Please read them carefully.
These terms and conditions form the basis of the legal agreement (the "supply agreement") under which we, Shirt Printers, will supply you with goods and items ("goods") that you have ordered from us and that we have agreed to supply to you.
Each order constitutes a separate supply agreement between us. A supply agreement is made only on these terms and conditions — no additional or alternative terms will apply to a supply agreement unless we and you, through our authorised representatives, agree otherwise in writing.
We are entitled to cancel a supply agreement at any time if you have exceeded, or will as a result of the supply agreement in question or otherwise exceed, your authorised credit limit with us, or if any invoices for goods previously supplied are overdue.
Estimates are based on our current costs of production and, unless otherwise agreed, are subject to amendment at or at any time after acceptance to reflect any rise or fall in such costs.
Except in the case of a customer who is not contracting in the course of a business nor holding themselves out as doing so, we reserve the right to charge the amount of any value added tax payable, whether or not it was included on the estimate or invoice.
All work carried out, whether experimentally or otherwise, at a customer's request shall be charged unless otherwise agreed.
A charge may be made to cover any additional work involved where copy or artwork supplied to us is not clear and legible.
Proofs of all work may be submitted for the customer's approval, and we incur no liability for errors not corrected by the customer within the proofs so submitted. Customer alterations and any additional proofs necessitated as a result shall be charged extra. Where style, type or layout is left to our judgement, any charges arising shall be charged extra.
Delivery of work shall be accepted when tendered and thereupon, or if earlier, on notification that the work has been completed, payment shall become due.
The risk in the work and all goods delivered in connection with it (the "Goods") shall pass to the customer upon delivery.
Until full payment has been received by us for all amounts due to us from the customer under this or any other contract, property in the Goods shall remain with us, and we shall be entitled to enter the premises where the Goods are held for the purpose of removing them.
Unless otherwise specified, the price is quoted for delivery of the work to the customer's address as set out in the estimate. A charge may be made to cover any extra costs involved for delivery to a different address.
Should expedited delivery be agreed, an extra charge may be made to cover any overtime or additional costs involved.
Should work be suspended at the request of, or delayed through any default of, the customer for a period of 28 days, we shall then be entitled to payment for work carried out, materials specially ordered and other additional costs involved.
Advice of damage, delay or partial loss of goods in transit, or of non-delivery, must be given to us and the carrier within three clear days of delivery (or, in the case of non-delivery, within twenty-eight days of despatch of the goods), and any claim in respect of this must be made in writing to us and the carrier within seven clear days of delivery (or in the case of non-delivery, within forty-two days of despatch). All other claims must be made in writing to us within twenty-eight days of delivery.
We shall not be liable in respect of any claim unless the above requirements have been met, except in any particular case where the customer proves that it was not possible to comply with the requirements, or that advice (where required) was given and the claim made as soon as reasonably possible.
We shall not be liable for any loss to the customer arising from delay in transit not caused by us.
Except in the case of a customer who is not contracting in the course of a business nor holding themselves out as doing so, the customer's property and all property supplied to us by or on behalf of the customer shall, while it is in our possession or in transit to or from the customer, be deemed to be at the customer's risk unless otherwise agreed, and the customer should insure accordingly.
We shall be entitled to make a reasonable charge for the storage of any customer property left with us before receipt of the order, or after notification to the customer that the work is complete.
We may reject any garment supplied or specified by a customer which appears to us unsuitable. Additional costs incurred if materials are found to be unsuitable during production may be charged, except that if the whole or any part of such additional cost could have been avoided but for unreasonable delay by us in ascertaining the unsuitability of the materials, that amount shall not be charged to the customer.
Where materials are so supplied or specified, we will take every care to secure the best results, but responsibility will not be accepted for imperfect work caused by defects in, or unsuitability of, materials so supplied or specified.
Quantities of materials supplied shall be adequate to cover normal spoilage.
If the customer ceases to pay their debts in the ordinary course of business, cannot pay their debts as they become due, or being a company is deemed unable to pay its debts or has a winding-up petition issued against it, or being a person commits an act of bankruptcy or has a bankruptcy petition issued against them, we shall, without prejudice to other remedies:
We shall not be required to print any matter which in our opinion is or may be of an illegal or libellous nature, or an infringement of the proprietary or other rights of any third party.
We shall be indemnified by the customer in respect of any claims, costs and expenses arising out of any libellous matter, or any infringement of copyright, patent, design or any other proprietary or personal rights, contained in any matter printed for the customer. This indemnity shall extend to any amounts paid on legal advice in settlement of any claim.
We shall be under no liability if we are unable to carry out any provision of the contract for any reason beyond our control, including (without limiting the foregoing) an act of God, legislation, war, fire, flood, drought, failure of power supply, lock-out, strike or other action taken by employees in contemplation or furtherance of a dispute, or an inability to procure materials required for the performance of the contract. During the continuance of such a contingency, the customer may by written notice to us elect to terminate the contract and pay for work done and materials used, but subject to that shall otherwise accept delivery when available.
