If your order is accepted we will inform you by email and we will confirm the identity of the party which you have contracted with. This will usually be www.allcolourenvelopes.co.uk or may in some cases be a third party. Where a contract is made with a third party www.allcolourenvelopes.uk is not acting as either agent or principal and the contract is made between yourself and that third party and will be subject to the terms of sale which they supply you. When placing an order you undertake that all details you provide to us are true and accurate, that you are an authorised user of the credit or debit card used to place your order and that there are sufficient funds to cover the cost of the goods. The cost of foreign products and services may fluctuate. All prices advertised are subject to such changes.

Terms of Sale

1. Our contract

When you place an order, you will receive an acknowledgement e-mail confirming receipt of your order: this email will only be an acknowledgement and will not constitute acceptance of your order. A contract between us will not be formed until we actually dispatch the products to you. Only those goods dispatched will be included in the contract formed.

We only accept orders outside of the United Kingdom by emailing sales@allcolourenvelopes.co.uk with your order details. This is due to VAT and logistics reasons.

2. Pricing and availability

Whilst we try and ensure that all details, descriptions and prices which appear on this Website are accurate, errors may occur. If we discover an error in the price of any goods which you have ordered we will inform you of this as soon as possible and give you the option of reconfirming your order at the correct price or cancelling it. If we are unable to contact you we will treat the order as cancelled. If you cancel and you have already paid for the goods, you will receive a full refund.

All prices are quoted in pounds sterling and exclude Value Added Tax, unless otherwise specified. Delivery costs will be charged in addition; such additional charges are clearly displayed where applicable and included in the 'Total Cost'.

3. Payment

Upon receiving your order if you have paid via an online payment gateway* we carry out a standard authorisation check on your payment card to ensure there are sufficient funds to fulfil the transaction. Your card will be debited upon authorisation being received. The monies received upon the debiting of your card shall be treated as a deposit against the value of the goods you wish to purchase. Once the goods have been dispatched the monies paid as a deposit shall be used as consideration for the value of goods you have purchased.

*If you have paid via a Credit Account you will be invoiced as per your normal terms. Credit Account terms can be found here: https://www.allcolourenvelopes.co.uk/pages/terms-and-conditions

We will deliver your envelopes to anywhere in the United Kingdom (including Northern Ireland, the Highlands, Scottish Islands, the Isle of Man and the Scilly Isles). Delivery will be made to the address specified by you on the completed order form.

We reserve the right to make delivery in instalments to you. If we choose to do this, then you will only pay a single delivery charge. Unless otherwise agreed, multiple delivery destinations will incur separate charges, prior to delivery.

4.2 Delivery times

Delivery times are subject to your location. Dispatch times are subject to the time you place your order and availability of goods. We aim to dispatch all orders as per the below schedule:

At point of ordering you will be able to select your delivery options, which will display an estimated delivery timeframe. These timings are applicable from the point of dispatch of goods. Delivery times are expected but not guaranteed. We cannot be held responsible for any delay to delivery due to factors outside our control i.e. force majeure. If we are unable to deliver to you within the applicable timescale, we will contact you and keep you updated, where possible.

4.3 Delivery of goods

All goods must be signed for on delivery. If no one is at the address when the delivery is attempted the goods may be retained by the delivery agent, in which case the delivery agent should leave notification of attempted delivery with information as to your options. In these circumstances, if we have to re-deliver the goods, a further delivery charge may become due and payable by you.

Once the goods have been delivered in accordance with your original delivery instructions, it becomes your, or your designated recipient's, responsibility from the point of delivery.

We will only deliver to residential or business addresses. Following advice from Action Fraud to combat online fraud, we will not to deliver our products to any 'Parcel Drop' or 'Collection Centres'. All of our deliveries require a signature.

It is your responsibility as the customer to enter address details correctly when ordering. Any costs incurred due to correction of address details will be chargeable.

4.4 Customs and taxes

All Colour Envelopes Limited will arrange post or arrange a courier on your behalf for the goods ordered by you to the person and address you give www.allcolourenvelopes.co.uk at the time you make your order.

For non-UK destinations, the consignee will be responsible for both customs clearance and payment of customs duties and local taxes where required.

We are legally required by HMRC to apply VAT charges to items that are collected regardless of their final destination.

4.5 If your parcel is undelivered due to non-payment of local taxes or duties/customs charges, or undelivered due to no recipient signature being available, or refusal of goods and the consignment is returned to us, there will be additional charges that apply before goods will be dispatched and redelivered. In the event of cancellation of order in these circumstances, charges will still apply.

5. Cancellations and returns

5.1 Cancelling an order prior to dispatch

Prior to dispatch, you may cancel your order for any reason whatsoever. If you order has not been processed/dispatched (please refer to clause 4. Delivery for our dispatch schedule) we will use all reasonable endeavors to ensure that your order is not dispatched for delivery, but cannot guarantee this.

In order to cancel your order you must call us on 01273 486026 or notify us by email on info@allcolourenvelopes.co.uk.

In this case you must return your order to us within 14 days of delivery date along with a completed Returns Form. You must follow the returns procedure as detailed at https://www.allcolourenvelopes.co.uk/pages/returns . Refunds do not include shipping costs if goods have already been delivered.

5.3 Returning goods for refund

You can return your envelopes within 14 days of the delivery date and you must follow the returns procedure as detailed at https://www.allcolourenvelopes.co.uk/pages/returns. NOTE: If you do not include a Returns Form with your returned goods we cannot refund you, as we will have no way of matching your returned items to your order. Any orders returned to us after the 14 day period will not be eligible for a refund or exchange.

Envelopes returned to us must be in their original condition and only full boxes are returnable. All Colour Envelopes Ltd retain the right to refuse any goods that have been opened, used or damaged.

All returned goods must be sent back to us at your own expense, in the original condition they were supplied, complete and undamaged with their original packaging. We recommend that any items returned are recorded or sent with a reputable courier as we will not take responsibility for lost or damaged items. The cost and safe return of the goods are your responsibility. You are advised to obtain proof of postage, or similar proof of return, from the post office. We are not responsible for the loss of any items during return transit. We do not refund original postage and packing costs.

We reserve the right to charge a restocking fee for large volume orders which are cancelled or returned. This applies to orders placed over the phone, online, by email or purchase order. Refunds do not include shipping costs if goods have already been delivered.

5.4 Customised goods

Printed and customised envelopes are strictly non-refundable.

5.5 Damaged, faulty or missing goods

In the unlikely event some, or all, of the envelopes are damaged when they are delivered to you, you should notify us within 3 working days of the delivery date on 01273 486026 or by e-mail on sales@allcolourenvelopes.co.uk. You may choose either to return the whole order, or just the affected envelopes for a refund or a replacement. If faulty, items returned after 30 days of delivery will be repaired or replaced, before being dispatched back out to you using the address given on your original order. Any envelopes returned to us must be in their original amounts and their original box and packaging to avoid further damage, where possible.

Due to the way envelopes are manufactured and counted, boxed quantities and weights can on occasion be up to 10% under or over the amount stated on the box/individual envelope. If you find your envelope stock is short, please contact us by emailing sales@allcolourenvelopes.co.uk and we will replace the missing stock. All of our envelopes have a 10% tolerance in size (in most cases only by 1-2mm) due to the nature of the material and manufacturing process. We cannot guarantee exact envelope measurements or weights.

Coloured envelopes by their nature have a tendency to fade, some colours more than others. It is important when storing or displaying the envelopes to avoid direct exposure to sunshine or bright lighting systems. If you are unsure about how you should store the envelopes, one of our staff will be more than happy to answer any questions you may have. Please contact our customer services department on 01273 486026 or email us at info@allcolourenvelopes.co.uk.

Nothing in these Terms and Conditions will reduce your statutory rights relating to faulty or mis-described goods. Further information about your rights are available from your Local Authority Trading Standards Department or Citizen's Advice Bureau.

6.1 Artwork requirements

We require you, the customer to provide artwork for any printing in line with our Artwork Guidelines. The full details of our Artwork Guidelines can be found on our website here: https://www.allcolourenvelopes.co.uk/pages/printartwork-guidelines

Your attention is also drawn to our print notice** included with all print quotes as failure to adhere to this may affect costs and lead times. Failure to follow these guidelines may result in poor quality print reproduction and we accept no responsibility for poor quality products in those circumstances. On receipt of artwork we reserve the right to decline any print job that in our opinion breaches copyright laws or contains information or images that we consider to be deemed offensive.

You must retain copies of all artwork you provide to us.

You must not provide any artwork that will breach any third party rights to such material unless you have their express consent. We have the right to disclose your identity to any third party claiming that any material you provide to us constitutes a violation of their rights.

You agree only to provide someone else's personal information if they have given you express consent to use it in respect of the products you have ordered. Personal information is processed and stored in accordance with our Privacy Policy, which can be found here: https://www.allcolourenvelopes.co.uk/pages/terms-and-conditions

To the extent that we are permitted to do so by law, we may delete your material stored by us at any time.

** PRINT NOTICE

Strictly subject to sight of artwork – no large solids or bleeds. Lead time on printed stock is approximately 8-9 working days from receipt of payment, artwork approval and stock availability. If not advised at estimating stage excessive ink coverage, bleeds, large foiling areas and special coloured foils may affect the quoted price. When foiling onto String & Washer envelopes the print area must not encroach onto the mechanism on the reverse. All artwork needs to be supplied as a high res PDF. When producing artwork it is best to avoid envelope seams as this may cause “seam impressions” on the printed image. Please note that printing CMYK or Pantone colours onto coloured envelopes will affect the colour reproduction

6.2 Approvals

Prior to production, we will provide you with electronic proof of your artwork/order for approval. You are responsible for approving these proofs and written confirmation must be received by us before we can progress print jobs. You accept that once you have given approval the products cannot be changed nor cancelled. We shall have no liability to you or any third parties for any errors in the proof subsequently discovered by you. Your statutory rights are not affected by these terms and conditions.

6.3 Lead times

Lead times provided will apply from the point of artwork approval AND payment receipt for the order (not from the point of enquiry). Lead times are expected but not guaranteed and are subject to stock availability.

On the rare occasion of delay to your order we will keep you updated with such changes and we will complete the work as soon as we reasonably can, offering alternatives and any solutions possible to prevent or speed up the delay.

Once we have started production we are unable to cancel or refund orders due to change of lead time and we accept no responsibility for any deadlines missed due to such delays.

6.4 Quantities

All reasonable endeavours will be made to deliver the correct quantity of envelopes ordered by you; however a 5% variation in respect of quantities is inherent within the printing industry. All overages may be kept by you at no additional cost.

6.5 Quality

We shall try to meet your colour requirements where files are submitted in accordance with our guidelines in respect of the products. You accept that variations in colours are inherent within the printing process for files submitted in other formats. When printing on envelopes, colour variation may occur depending on the envelope stock, style and printing process used. You also understand and accept that computer hardware set ups are such that we cannot guarantee that the printed colours will match those displayed on your computer screen during the ordering process. We recommend you provide us with CMYK/Pantone references for colours where possible.

Print of any nature has a tendency to fade over time. We recommend storing your goods in dry conditions, away from direct sunlight. If you would like more advice and information regarding the shelf life of the particular product you are ordering, please email info@allcolourenvelopes.co.uk

This in no way means we accept liability for any damaged or defective good whether plain or printed.
