THE CONTRACT BETWEEN US 5.1 After placing an order you will receive an email from us acknowledging that we have received your order. All orders are subject to acceptance by us and we will confirm acceptance by sending you a second email confirming your order (the Order Confirmation). The contract between us will be formed only when we send you this Order Confirmation. 5.2 The Contract will relate only to those Products we have confirmed in the Order Confirmation. We will not be obliged to supply any other Products you may have ordered until we have issued a separate Order Confirmation. 5.3 We reserve the right to decline orders and to terminate an already concluded Contract without notice, if the transmitted print data contains contents that are pornographic or illegal. 6. CONSUMER RIGHTS 6.1 If you are contracting as a consumer, you may have a right to cancel a Contract under the Consumer Protection (Distance Selling) Regulations 2000. 6.2 However, you will not have any right to cancel a Contract for the supply of any of the Products because the cancellation rights do not apply to the sale of custom-made articles or goods made to a consumer’s specification. 7. AVAILABILITY AND DELIVERY 7.1 All the specified delivery schedules will not be fixed. A fixed schedule must have been expressly designated as such and agreed by acornprintservices. As a rule, specified delivery schedules denote planned shipment times. 7.2 The delivery date is dependant upon receipt and confirmation by acornprintservices of all data, payments and email notices, before 12h00 (noon). If the customer have chosen as payment´s option “payment in advance”, then the order is only worked on after receipt of payment. The beginning of the delivery time has to be postponed until receiving it accordingly.The delivery period is specified in working days - Mondays to Fridays, excluding public holidays. 7.3 The delivery period will be regarded as having been observed if the goods have left the plant or, if they can be dispatched, have been reported as ready for shipment by the end of the delivery period. This will be subject to acornprintservices being supplied correctly and on time. Prompt and proper fulfillment by the customer of their obligations will be required so that the delivery period is observed. 7.4 If the agreed delivery schedule is not observed by acornprintservices, you will first set a reasonable period of grace in writing. You can rescind the Contract if this period of grace expires without result. 8. RISK AND TITLE 8.1 The Products will be at your risk from the time of delivery. If the goods are ready for dispatch and shipment or acceptance of them is delayed for reasons for which we are not to blame, the risk shall pass to the customer when the customer receives notice that the goods are ready for shipment. 8.2 Ownership of the Products will pass to you only when acornprintservices receives full payment of all sums due, including delivery charges. 9. PRICE AND PAYMENT 9.1 The prices of any Products will be as quoted on acornprintservices website from time to time, except in cases of obvious error. 9.2 These prices include VAT and delivery costs. The costs for shipment will cover once-only dispatch to the delivery address specified by the customer. 9.3 Price changes are liable to happen at any time, but these will not affect Products for which we have already sent you an Order Confirmation. 9.4 acornprintservices website contains a large number of Products and it is always possible that, despite our best efforts, some items may on occasion be incorrectly priced. We will normally verify prices as part of our dispatch procedures so that, where a Product’s correct price is less than the stated price, we will charge the lower amount. If a Product’s correct price is higher than the price stated on our website, we will normally, at our discretion, either contact you for instructions before dispatching the Product, or reject your order and notify you of such rejection. 9.5 acornprintservices is under no obligation to provide the Product to you at the incorrect (lower) price, even after it has sent you an Order Confirmation, if the pricing error is obvious and unmistakable and could have reasonably been recognized by you as a ‘mis-pricing’. 9.6 Payment for all Products must be by credit card (MasterCard and Visa), debit card (Switch, Solo, Visa, Visa Electron and Maestro), Paypal, by payment in advance. 9.7 The stated prices apply on the condition that the order data on which the prices are based does not change after conclusion of the Contract. Costs caused by subsequent changes instigated by the customer will be charged separately. 9.8 acornprintservices will send invoices solely by email with a qualified electronic signature. By submitting an order the customer agrees to this form of invoicing. Payments will be due regardless of whether and when an invoice is issued. 9.9 Unless specified otherwise on the Order Confirmation, the gross total price will be due for payment immediately after conclusion of the Contract (receipt of the Order Confirmation). 10. PRINT DATA AND OBLIGATIONS TO CHECK IT 10.1 We will carry out all print orders solely on the basis of the approved proof data sent by you. Error-free printing is not guaranteed in the case of differing data formats or other specifications. 10.2 You must carefully check the approved print data to determine whether it is suitable for the order before sending it to us. We will not check the print data and the customer alone will bear the risk of any errors in the printed Products owing to incorrect data supplied. 10.3 At your express request, formats other than those specified in the customer information will be processed, where technically feasible. If errors occur as a result of using these formats, responsibility will be borne by the customer and not by acornprintservices. 10.4 We can convert print data not sent in CMYK mode, but such conversion will be at the customer’s risk. Conversion of RGB data or ICC colour profiles will naturally result in deviations in colour from the original and, again, liability for these deviations will lie solely with the customer. 11. COMPLAINTS 11.1 Obvious defects in delivered goods must be reported to us within 2 weeks of receipt. 11.2 Complaints made solely because you have failed to heed the information on requirements for the print data cannot be raised. This shall apply in particular to printed matter that is based on RGB colours, and in which the resolution is too low or in which fonts that are not embedded are used. 11.3 Slight deviations in colour will not be regarded as defects. 11.4 Short or excess shipments of up to 10 % of the ordered print run that are customary in the trade must be accepted by you, provided they are reasonable. The supplied quantity will be charged. 12.

For any matter for which it would be illegal for acornprintservices to exclude, or attempt to exclude, its liability. 12.4 If the supplied goods are defective or lack warranted qualities, acornprintservices – at its discretion – will supply a replacement or remedy the goods, to the exclusion of further warranty claims by the customer. If acornprintservices allows the period of grace set for it to elapse without supplying a replacement or rectifying the defect, or if subsequent remedy fails, you can rescind the Contract or demand appropriate reduction in the purchase price, to the exclusion of all other claims. acornprintservices will be liable for replacement deliveries and work done on subsequently remedying goods to the same extent as for the original goods. 12.5 If part of the delivery has defects, this will not authorize the customer to object to the entire goods. 12.6 In the event of rescission of the Contract, acornprintservices will refund any money received from you within a reasonable time. 13. OWNERSHIP, ARCHIVING, PROPRIETARY RIGHTS 13.1 The printing forms or carriers produced and used by acornprintservices to produce the goods will remain its property. 13.2 Digital data and other objects required for reuse, as well as semi-finished and finished Products, will not be retained by acornprintservices beyond the delivery schedule. Data used for production is not returned to the customer but deleted after shipment. 13.3 acornprintservices Products will be created solely on the basis of the customer’s content-related stipulations in the print data that has been sent. acornprintservices has no influence on the contents of the printed Products.
