It is the customer's responsibility to ensure that they own the rights to the artwork provided or have been granted permission (or licence) to use it. We reserve the right to challenge this at any point to make sure no copyright is infringed.

Payment can also be made easily by all major debit or credit cards and sixteen currencies via the secure Paypal facility.  You will be re-directed to the Paypal website on checkout to make payment.  This means that Printed Ribbon UK will not deal with or store any credit card details.  You do not have to sign up to Paypal to make use of this service.  Full payment is required before your order is dispatched.

For printed ribbon there is no origination charge for a maximum of two logos repeated. We reserve the right to charge additional origination costs if the artwork setup exceeds the usual requirements. 

Back Orders

Where relevant, if your item is not in stock we will back order it for you.  You will always be emailed with the situation and expected delivery times or the option to cancel your order if preferred.  If we then subsequently send the goods to you it will be at Printed Ribbon UK's postal cost.

Substitution

In very exceptional circumstances the product may vary slightly from that shown or for ribbon be supplied on different make up rolls but to the same amount (or greater).  Where we make substitutions it will be with a product of equal or greater value and where time allows we will advise the Buyer of the situation.

Delivery & Risk

For orders under 150m, we will aim to process orders within 48 hours from our acceptance of the order and your acceptance of printed ribbon order confirmation document (subject to stock availability). At peak times of the year the lead time may be longer so please schedule your printing ahead of time and allow 7 working days for delivery.  For each quotation we will advise of the anticipated lead time.  If you have an urgent order please Contact Us when you place your order to discuss your requirements and we can always send things by Royal Mail Special Delivery for an extra charge.

Delivery times quoted are given in good faith.  We cannot be held responsible for late delivery by Royal Mail (or other third parties) due to local holiday, adverse weather conditions which may hinder transportation of goods, industrial strike action of postal workers and other incidents which are beyond our immediate control.   In such instances, we may only on occasion, be able to offer a refund of the postage incurred for delivery of your goods.

Delivery of goods to the stipulated delivery address shall constitute delivery to the Buyer.  All risk in the goods will pass to the Buyer upon delivery.

At the checkout there is the option to change the delivery address if it is easier to deliver to an alternative address e.g. your work address. 

Discrepancies or damages apparent at the time of delivery must be noted at the time of delivery and Printed Ribbon UK notified within 3 days of receipt - See Returns Policy for further details.

Ribbon Details

Ribbon width tolerances are +/- 2mm if not stated othervise in the item description. (quoted from manufacturer of ribbons).  Ribbon lengths are approximate to within 5%.

Roll lengths are approximate and as supplied by the ribbon manufacturer.
As with all ribbon rolls, there may be joins on the roll so may not be one continuous length.

Please note that due to roll lengths in cases of orders by the metre, orders over 10m may be delivered in 2 separate lengths.

Ribbon colours are subject to availability and may change due to ribbon suppliers amendments to their range.

Ribbon Cutting and sealing service.  If a certain number of strips are required from a continuous length order, that number will be the charged number, although actual yield may be up to 5% less due to the manufacturer''s length of ribbon and the automatic ribbon cutting process.
 

Cut lengths may vary from actual required length and at the time of order we will advise the amount of mm +/- that the ribbon may vary by as they are dependent on the length of ribbon required. 

We will always aim to ensure that cutting appears at the space between/at the end of the logos so no logos are cut in half.

 Font Colours 

Not all font colours produce effective results with all the ribbon colours.  With our experience we offer font colours that are best suited to the ribbon colour - hence reduced font colours are available on some items.  In other cases we have picked the one best font colour for the ribbon - usually the shiny metallic colours as the finish is superior, is more hard wearing, smudge proof and water resistant than the matt colours. 

In the case of Design your Own ribbons, we will contact you if you choose a font and ribbon colour combination that we feel does not work to the best possible advantage and offer suggestions.

Cancellation

Orders may be cancelled upon contacting Printed Ribbon UK by telephone or email but will be subject to a 10% administration charge of the total order to be cancelled.

 Returns Policy/Quality Guarantee

All our products are sourced to be of the highest quality.  Unfortunately, all goods with personalised ribbons, or are cut to length (e.g. 100mm ribbon by the metre), are made to order and are not subject to a refund unless the product is faulty.  As we copy and paste into our specialist printing software directly from a Buyer''s order request, please ensure that there are no typing errors contained in the order. 

You must inform us of your intention to return any goods, within 7 days of receipt in the original packaging.  Buyers are responsible for paying the postage costs for returning any items.  After investigations at Printed Ribbon UK, for any products we find to be faulty, we will return the full amount of the faulty goods plus any returned postage costs. 

Postage and Packing

We take pride in packaging every order carefully. Price is dependent on the weight/number of items ordered and type of packaging protection needed for goods. For the most recent postage & packing pricing please refer to the store checkout pricing or contact us on 01530 229234. A signature will be required when packages are delivered.   You will not be charged any postage and packaging on orders over £150.00 to the UK and sent by Royal Mail 1st Class signed for service to a UK Mainland Address.   If you require to send your goods urgently and the order is over £150.00 we will require an upgrade charge to Royal Mail Special Delivery.  For postage costs to other countries please contact is for a quotation.

If an incorrect Postage and Packaging amount is chosen by the Buyer Printed Ribbon UK will require the extra amount to be paid prior to dispatch - by debit or credit card- e.g. Buyers claiming free delivery for an order over £150.00 but the delivery address is outside of the UK and therefore does not qualify.
