Samples
We retain the right over the artwork of all of our samples and these must not be copied or replicated in any way. The samples we provide are often stock we currently hold and so will not be personalised.
Colour shades of samples may vary slightly from personalised orders.
Please note that due to the vast combination of card stock, colours and designs available we may not always be able to provide a sample in the exact combination desired. Should this occur we will provide you with a sample of the card requested along with the design requested and a printed colour chart. Orders of less than 20 items for wedding invitations and save the date cards will be classed as sample orders and will not be personalised.
Proofs
The customer is responsible for checking their proofs in particular ensuring that the colours, layout, wording, spelling and grammar are to expectations. Whilst we will do our upmost to ensure these are to the highest standard, once proofs are signed off by the customer, we cannot take responsibility for any errors missed and may need to charge for any re-prints if necessary. It is the customer’s responsibility to ensure that the right number of prints are ordered. We reserve the right to charge for further amendments to designs once proofs have been signed-off by the customer.
Quality
Whilst every effort is made to ensure colours are consistent on our products, colours on the final product may not be an exact match to proofs and/or samples. We do not hold liability for defects that are beyond our control. Please note that colour in print may look different to digital proofs.
Orders
It is the customer’s responsibility to ensure that the order is correct. We retain the right to reject orders at any point during the order process. Alterations to orders may be made at our discretion after proofs have been signed-off with a cost incurred for the customer. It is the customer’s responsibility to notify us of any alterations to orders as soon as possible. The customer must pay for orders in full before the final product is released for delivery.
Cancellation
Cancellation of orders may only be made within 24 hours of ordering. After that time, design will have started and may have been sent to print which will incur a cost.
If your wedding/event is cancelled within 90 days of the event date, the most recent or final balance is still due to compensate for loss of earnings and the inability to fill that date at such late notice. If this is not financially viable a payment plan can be made at the discretion of the Director.
Return of Goods
Non personalised greetings cards and ready-to-wite collections.
If you are unhappy with your non-personalised purchase please return you order within 28 days of receipt for a refund. To be eligible for a return, your item must be unused and in the same condition that you received it. It must also be in the original packaging. Once the returned item(s) has been received we will process refund. Please note that postage and shipping costs are non-refundable.
If your order is damaged or faulty please notify us by email within 5 days of receipt. Any damaged or faulty items must be returned to us to be checked before a refund can be processed
Our policy lasts 28 days. If 28 days have gone by since your purchase, unfortunately we can’t offer you a refund or exchange.
Refunds (if applicable)
Once your return is received and inspected, we will send you an email to notify you that we have received your returned item. We will also notify you of the approval or rejection of your refund.
If you are approved, then your refund will be processed, and a credit will automatically be applied to your credit card or original method of payment, within a certain amount of days.
This does not apply to personalised wedding stationery and/or personalised orders. Gray Starling Designs Ltd will not cover the cost of reprinting and shipping orders due to any errors you have approved, nor will a refund be issued. However, we are happy to correct and reprint any errors made on the part of Gray Starling Designs Ltd as quickly as possible and will send any re-printed stationery out quickly and efficiently.
