"Fair's fair . . . it's a great deal . . . there are some limitations."

For the purpose of these terms the following definitions have been adopted:

 

Printshare: A Scheme organised and run by SBS (UK) Ltd with the aim of providing discount rate printing on stock items as defined on this website.

SBS: Small Business Solutions (UK) Ltd, and the Directors, Managers & Staff thereof.

Participants: Individuals, groups, organisations or Companies placing an order through the Printshare Scheme.

Run: A production run of the work of 1 complete set of participants.

Estimated Pre-Production Period: The period between placing the order and the the date one week before the Estimated Production Date.

  1. A minimum number of participants are required in order for a Printshare run to be deemed viable, and until a full 'quota' is reached printshare cannot run, unless ALL participants are prepared to pay an adjusted rate to compensate, and unilateral agreement to this by email is secured.

  2. SBS will decide whether or not a Printshare run is viable, and their decision will be final.

  3. Because each participant's actions can affect each other's, payment is required at the time of ordering and cancellation or refund is not permitted unless a 13 week period has elapsed since placing the initial order/making payment.

  4. It is not possible to specify a delivery date for work produced under the Printshare scheme.  At the time of ordering an Estimated Production Date EPD will be given, by which time all artwork must be completed and signed off, and the Estimated Delivery Date EDD will be 5 working days later. However this will be subject to change and review depending upon the course of events, and will vary in reliability depending on how close to 'quota' completion the scheme is at the time of ordering. Once a full quota is achieved the Actual Production Date APD and Actual Delivery Date ADD will be announced

  5. Since the timeframe is critical to the success of the scheme for all involved, artwork or copy deadlines must be strictly observed.  Deadlines cannot be artificially delayed for the benefit of any individual taking part.  Therefore should any individual fail to observe such deadlines, their work may be printed 'to stage' ie. at the stage it's at, which in the case of unreturned proofs may result in work printed with errors, and in the case of artwork or copy not supplied may mean no image being printed at all for which SBS will accept no responsibility nor make any compensation.  In such cases the full payment is still due and no refund will be given.

  6. Communication will be by email, and where no response is received phone calls will be made at least twice. If the result of this failure to successfully communicate is that the terms of no. 5 are broken, SBS can accept no responsibility nor make any compensation in this regard. It is the responsibility of the participant to remain in contact throughout the Estimated Pre-production Period EPP.

  7. If a participant is unhappy with the quality of work supplied, or if any misprinting occurs which is our responsibility, SBS will either offer to repeat the order 'free of charge' or at a reduced rate on the next run, or offer a partial or full refund at their discretion. SBS regret that they may not be able to replace the items like-for-like immediately due to the nature of the scheme restrictions and timescales.
