Every quotation, pro-forma invoice, price list or other similar document made or issued by The Imaging Warehouse Ltd (“the company”) is made or issued subject to these General Terms and Conditions of Sale. These terms and conditions do not affect consumers’ statutory rights as contained in current legislation governing the relationship between consumers and businesses.It is acknowledged by all customers using this website that the action of placing an order via the checkout constitutes an automatic acceptance that you have fully read and are agreeing to be bound by the terms and conditions herein stated below.

ACCEPTANCE OF ORDERS

No order resulting from any quotation, pro-forma invoice, price list, order acknowledgement or other similar document made or issued by the Company shall be binding unless and until it is formally accepted by the company. Acceptance of an order is only made formal and legally accepted by the Company once the goods are despatched and/or actually delivered to the customer’s requested address. At all times prior to this, the Company, at its absolute discretion, may proceed to accept or reject any order, whether on account of the equipment being no longer available or for any other reason whatsoever. In all instances of rejection, any monies received by the Company would be refunded in full against the originating payment card or account without further recompense.

PRICING, TAXES & PAYMENTS

All prices quoted at the checkout/basket stage on the company’s website are quoted and transacted in Great Britain (UK) Pounds Sterling (GBP). Alternative currencies alternative currencies will be displayed depending on your location – these prices are for indicative purposes only and are not a guaranteed price that you will pay at the checkout. These indicative prices will, by default, not include UK Value Added Tax (VAT).

Payments are transacted securely in GBP currency via SAGEPAY payment gateway where the accepted card types are Visa, Visa Debit. Mastercard etc. Select the appropriate option in the payment method screen. Full payment of your whole order is taken and charged to your card at this point irrespective of stock availability and an order acknowledgement is sent automatically to the registered e-mail address associated with your account.

If you are an E.U. commercial business user you will be required to provide an EORI number at checkout, you can quote the number in the EORI field when registering or ordering for the first time and pay for the goods in the normal way.

All international customers are exempt from UK sales taxes and this is automatically deducted from the prices when you select your international country destination (providing you registered your account at least 24 hours prior to placing an order through the checkout). You may, however, be liable to pay customs clearance, duties or local taxes on arrival of the consignment. It is always the customer’s responsibility to pay their own country’s local duties and taxes.

Please note: Non-UK customers who use non-UK bank cards may well be charged a fee by their credit card issuing company for the transaction conversion to your own currency. These charges are always the responsibility of the customer and do not form part of any of the company’s pricing structure.

DELIVERY/SHIPPING CHARGES

UK CUSTOMERS 

For most deliveries to the UK mainland, orders processed automatically through the website will incur a delivery/shipping charge irrespective of the actual order value and these delivery charges and services are calculated and offered for selection as you progress through the checkout. UK shipping prices start at £4.49 (inc. VAT) progressing upwards dependent upon the weight of your basket of items, your postcode area and the delivery service you choose.

On occasions, promotions may be in place to waive these charges if a minimum order value is met – this only applies to UK customers and deliveries where they do not fall within a postcode surcharge area listed below.

Any orders placed by non-UK customers from overseas will ALWAYS be subject to additional delivery charges irrespective of whether they meet a minimum order value (please see appropriate section below for the correct overseas ordering procedure).

At checkout, some UK postcode areas incur higher delivery charges. The following list details some of those areas but is not a complete and definitive listing. Northern Ireland, Islands & Highlands of Scotland, Scilly Isles, Isle of Man, AB6, BT (all), HS (all), IM (all), IV (all), KA27 – 28, KW1 – 17, KY8 – 10, KY14 – 15, KY99, PA20 – 78, PH19 – 44, PH49 – 50, PO30 – 41, ZE (all). Jersey, Guernsey and other Channel Island territories/postcodes are classified as non-UK customers and are therefore subject to overseas charging rates – see “Non-UK Customers” section below.

If your delivery is to one of the areas above, a delivery surcharge may be applied after the time of ordering (dependent upon weight and volume). Delivery times to these higher postcode areas are generally 2 to 4 working days.

The UK delivery services are generally based on a next day delivery service (non-guaranteed) using a parcel courier or Royal Mail 48 Hour Packet Post depending upon the weight or value of the items ordered and will always be fully insured within the cost. Deliveries are usually completed within 72 hours but no standard delivery charge service is guaranteed within any binding timeframe unless you have paid for a “Priority Next Day Delivery Before 1pm” service. Whilst failure of this service choice would entitle the customer to a refund of their postage charge, the company will not liable for any compensation for any consequential losses that may have been incurred because of the delivery failure. Please be aware that we are only able to raise a complaint with Royal Mail once 10 working days have past since the date of despatch.

If you select a ‘DPD – before 1pm’ option then your order has to be placed on the website before 1pm to guarantee a same day despatch on that service. Orders placed after that time will not be guaranteed to leave the same day on that selected service, but will definitely leave by the following working day on that service (subject to stock availability – you will be advised if there is a product shortage). Priority Services DO NOT include Saturday or Sunday and so any order placed on Friday using this service would be delivered before 1pm on Monday which is the next working day. Under no circumstances will The Company be liable for any consequential losses incurred by the customer because of late despatch or product non-availability.

Signatures for consignments are usually required by the carriers. If this is seriously inconvenient, please specify a safe place to leave parcels without signatures in the “SPECIAL DELIVERY NOTES” section when ordering – this action may invalidate any insurance cover provided for mislaid parcels and the customer ultimately becomes responsible for any losses by theft or mis-delivery.

NON-UK CUSTOMERS 

The Imaging Warehouse has a long tradition of exporting its products throughout the World. Please proceed through the checkout ensuring that you select your particular country. Deliveries can only be made to addresses within the same country as the registered billing address.

The system will offer you a shipping price for some countries where we have been able to set fixed delivery prices. Shipping costs to countries that do not have stored shipping prices will make our system forward your basket contents to our sales team for a shipping quotation and can only be calculated by our office sales staff once you have completed the order process through the checkout – you will not be charged for any goods at this stage but we will receive a notification of your details and what you would like to order. You will be contacted by telephone or by e-mail detailing the appropriate shipping costs and describing your options to make the payment securely and correctly.
NOTE:- Certain goods, particularly liquids or aerosols, may be deemed hazardous or restricted for overseas shipping and you will be advised by email if this is the case.

Depending upon the items purchased, we usually use Parcelforce airmail or a special freight forwarding agent. Non-EU customers may well be liable to have to pay customs clearance, import duties or local taxes upon arrival of the consignment. These costs will always be at the customer’s expense and responsibility.

DELIVERY TIMES

BACKORDERS

Whilst the company ensures that stocks are kept at good levels at all times to meet demand, there will be occasions where it will unable to complete your order to go out on a same day despatch.

In such cases, you will be advised by e-mail or telephone within 24 hours offering alternative products or asking what you would like the company to do. This may take the form of accepting the alternative product advised or accepting a refund for the items that cannot be supplied.

In some instances, the company will, depending upon the value of the order or the nature of its suppliers terms, insist that you must allow a certain lead time for the supply of the goods. In other instances, the company will send part orders and be responsible for any further shipping costs of backordered items once they arrive in stock.

DAMAGES & SHORTAGES

If the external packaging appears marked or damaged in absolutely any respect, the driver’s note must be marked with the words “Packaging received damaged – goods not checked” and cross out the carrier’s statement saying “Goods received in good condition”. Failure to do this will mean that the customer becomes liable for all damage and has no recourse for replacement or refund of the goods from The Imaging Warehouse Ltd. NEVER discard any of the packaging or goods as they will be required for future inspection in the event of a valid claim against the carrier.

In any event, the customer shall report any damage or shortage to the company by e-mail or telephone within 3 days of delivery and supply digital images of the damaged items and packaging.
