A quotation shall only constitute an invitation to treat. All orders are subject to acceptance by the Seller, the Purchaser's acceptance of delivery of said acknowledgement of orders shall be deemed to include acceptance of these general conditions.
Telephone orders must be confirmed in writing by letter, fax or email. No responsibility will be accepted if this is not done.
The Seller cannot guarantee that the goods will be exactly the same as previously supplied. Samples are available on request to check for size, materials etc.
Waiver
Failure by the Seller at any time to enforce any of the provisions of these general conditions shall not be construed as a waiver by the Sellers of such provisions or in any way affect the validity of these general conditions.
Prices
All prices shall be as per the Sellers price list current and website at the date of this despatch and all prices are exclusive of VAT unless specified. All prices are subject to increases without notice owing to circumstances beyond the seller’s control.
Origination
All blocks, dies and screens required for printing will incur additional costs unless otherwise specified.
Artwork
All artwork redraws and new designs undertaken by Impact including reductions, enlargements and touching up will be chargeable. Minimum artwork charge: £15.
Artwork Proofs
We will supply a proof for your approval free of charge. If required, you can amend your proof twice, free of charge. Any additional amends thereafter will be charged at £9.99 incl. VAT each. Payment must be received before your goods are despatched. Any artwork/ proofing errors on our part will not be chargeable.
We will email your artwork proof before production begins. Please respond to your proof within 24 hours upon receipt. Proofs that are not approved/responded to in writing within 24 hours may incur a delay to your delivery date. If your order has a time critical delivery deadline, please ensure you communicate in your email response, and we will endeavour to achieve this for you.

Orders cancelled after a proof has been submitted will be charged at £9.99 incl. VAT to cover artwork costs.
Self- Assembly
We pride ourselves in providing you with competitively low prices. One way of achieving these low prices is by supplying awards with a small assembly element. In most instances, plates, logo inserts and ribbons are for self assembly. Where specified, we do offer an assembly service at a small charge. Please contact us if you would like to add the assembly to your order and it is not specified in the product description or personalisation.
Quantities
Printed goods may be subject to 10% over or under run and will be charged pro rata.

Whilst every effort will be made to deliver on time, time for delivery is not of the essence and there is no liability for delays occasioned by circumstances beyond the seller’s control.
Any liability of the sellers to the purchaser shall be limited in total to the price of the goods.
In the event of incorrect or faulty goods supplied, credit will only be given if the entire consignment is returned.
