TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF SALE

  2. These Terms and Conditions of Sale set out the terms on which you are permitted to purchase items from Guinness World Records through www.gwrstore.com (the Website). By placing an order for any item via the Website, you accept these Terms.
  3. Orders will be fulfilled by our fulfilment partner, Print Clever Limited, who will also provide customer services and process any returns.

THE PRODUCTS

  1. Products may vary slightly from their pictures. The images of the products on our website are for illustrative purposes only. Although we have made every effort to display the colours accurately, we cannot guarantee that your device's display of the colours accurately reflects the colour of the products. The packaging of the product may also vary from that shown.
  2. You acknowledge that all information and specifications relating to the products and any material produced by us are approximate only.
  3. We may change the specification of the products to conform with any applicable safety or other statutory requirements which do not materially affect the products quality or performance.
  4. We may correct any error about a product on this Website and/or withdraw any products from sale without prior notice or any liability to you.
  5. If we provide you with any instructions about how to use or care for the products (for example, washing instructions), then you must use and care for the products accordingly and we will not be liable to you for any damage to or caused by the products because you have not followed our instructions

PRICE

  1. The price of each product shall be price for that product set out on this Website on the date you place your order. The stated price of the products is inclusive of any applicable Value Added Tax.
  2. It is possible that, despite our best efforts, some products may be incorrectly priced. If we accept and process your order where a pricing error is obvious and unmistakeable and could reasonably have been recognised by you as a mispricing, we may end the contract, refund you any sums you have paid and require the return of any products provided to you.
  3. We reserve the right to revise the price of any items on this Website without notice.

ORDERS AND CONTRACT

  1. While we may accept orders from outside the UK, currently we only deliver to addresses in the UK (including Northern Ireland).
  2. Your order is made when you press the “Pay with Paypal” button at the end of the checkout process.  We will take your payment at this point and send you an email confirming the details of your order (the Confirmation).
  3. There may be circumstances where we are not able to accept your order, for example: because the product is out of stock; because of unexpected limits on our resources or materials which we could not reasonably plan for; because you are not in a position to be able to pay for your order in full; because we have identified an error in the price or description of the product; or because we are unable to meet a delivery deadline you have specified. If we are unable to accept your order, we let you know email and you will not be charged by us.
  4. As soon as you have placed your order and completed your payment, your order will be processed, and we will not be able to prevent your items being dispatched to you.
  5. Your order is not accepted by us until we have dispatched your goods, at which point a contract will be formed between you and us comprised of these Terms (as amended by us from time to time), and any pricing and other information about the goods on the Website. If there is any discrepancy between the product information or prices in your Confirmation and those for the same product on the Website, the details on the Website will apply. A contract is not formed when we take payment or send a Confirmation.

 PAYMENT TERMS

  1. Your payment will be made to our payment services provider, Shopify Inc. on the date on which we accept your order.  We currently only accept payment by Paypal.
  2. You must pay for the products before we dispatch them.  We will charge your credit or debit card when you confirm your order

        1. Lost deliveries

           

          Deliveries are not considered lost unless they have not been delivered to you by fourteen (14) days after the latest expected delivery date. If your products have not been delivered after this time, you may contact customer services to report your products as lost and if, on the basis of any evidence they may reasonably ask you to provide, Print Clever are satisfied that your claim is genuine, we will reimburse you for the lost products.

        2. Suspension of supply:

           

          We may have to suspend the supply of a product to deal with technical problems, make minor technical changes, or to change a product to reflect new regulations. If we suspend the supply of a product after you have ordered it, we will contact you in advance to tell you we will be suspending supply, unless the problem is urgent or an emergency.

        FAULTY GOODS

        1. Under the UK Consumer Act 2015, our products must be of satisfactory quality, fit for their intended purpose and as described. If the products you receive do not meet these requirements or are defective or damaged when you receive them, you have the right to: (i) reject the goods; or (ii) to a repair or replacement; or (iii) to accept the goods and receive a reasonable refund from us. You must notify us of your wish to reject faulty goods within 30 days after delivery or, in the case of damage in transit, within fourteen (14) days after delivery.
        2. Before agreeing to reimburse you for any damaged or faulty products, you must send our customer services team a photograph of the faulty or damaged products, which must:
        a. Show the printed back neck label and/or design so that the products are clearly identifiable as the products supplied by us/Print Clever;
        b. Clearly show the faults, errors or damage in question;
        c. If the issue is related to garment size:
        i. The customer must place a tape measure across the garment showing the full width of the flat garment (being the width measured on a flat garment under the arms)
        ii. To be considered faulty, the width must show a greater than ten percent (10%) difference between the garment as measured and the published size chart;
        d. If the issue is related to garment colour, the photograph must be taken in natural light.

         

        1. Where we/Print Clever agree that the product is faulty or damaged, we will refund you the cost of affected products, our delivery charges and your reasonable return costs.
