Liability

We cannot be held liable for any consequential loss arriving from late delivery. If a job is needed for a specific date we recommend early ordering. Once a job leaves our factory we have no control over delivery time. Although we ship via the carrier we consider to be the best in the industry, mistakes do very occasionally happen. Our liability will be limited to the replacement of faulty products. Any errors or omissions must be reported in writing within 3 days of delivery.

Warranty

We take the greatest care in all aspects of the manufacture of our products and use high quality materials throughout. The life of any sign product however is determined to a great extent by how it is fitted or used. Many sign failures are due to poor fitting or incorrect product selection. We give no guarantee or warranty on the life of any product not fitted by ourselves.

Cancellation charges

At proofing stage: £25 plus any artwork charges. Once production has started: full invoice value.
