9. Delivery & Payment
Turnaround is measured in Working Days, defined as days on which the clearing banks in the City of London are open for normal business. For orders made on a Guaranteed Turnaround service (being orders guaranteed to be ready within a certain period (the "Guaranteed Period")), delivery (as more particularly described in paragraph 9(b) below) will be made no later than 10pm on the last Working Day of the Guaranteed Period. Should Print4Taxis fail to deliver within the Guaranteed Period (see also paragraph 10 Variations in quantity), a service "credit" will be awarded up to the value of the order in question (redeemable against future orders within 6 months of issue of the Credit in question) (the "Credit"). The customer will still be obliged to pay in full for the order in respect of which delivery was late, including any of the sums charged specifically for the provision of the Guaranteed Turnaround Service ("the Premium Charges"). Where the late delivery is as the result of the action or inaction of a third party, such as a carrier, Print4Taxis, at their absolute discretion, may elect to extend the Turnaround by one Working Day and the customer shall not be awarded a Credit during this time.
In addition:
These services rely on the customer not delaying the progress of the order in any way (which delays include but are not limited to the customer not returning proofs by the time specified by Print4Taxis or failing to make payment by the time such payment is due) (a "Customer Delay"). In the event of a Customer Delay the customer shall not be awarded a Credit and the customer shall still be obliged to pay the Premium Charges but Print4Taxis shall not be bound to deliver within the Guaranteed Period.
Delivery of work by Print4Taxis shall be deemed to take place upon collection of the work by the customer (where the customer is obliged to collect the work) or (where Print4Taxis is obliged to deliver the work) actual delivery of the work to the customer by Print4Taxis. Where the customer is obliged to collect the work, customer's failure to collect the work on the day on which Print4Taxis is contractually obliged to have it ready for collection shall be classed as a Customer Delay. Where Print4Taxis is obliged to deliver the work to the customer but the customer provides Print4Taxis with incomplete or incorrect delivery information or is not available to accept delivery, then provided that the Print4Taxis has used reasonable endeavours to deliver the work to the customer, a failed delivery shall be classed as a Customer Delay.
Unless otherwise specified the price quoted is for collection of the work from the Print4Taxis Production Hub at Eighth Street, Trafford Park, Manchester M17 1FG. A charge may be made to cover any extra costs involved for delivery to a different address.
Should expedited delivery be agreed Print4Taxis shall be entitled to make additional charges on a time and materials basis to cover any overtime or any other additional costs involved, including without limitation, the cost of couriers or special delivery post.
Should work be suspended at the request of or delayed through any default of the customer for a period of 30 days or more Print4Taxis shall then be entitled to payment for work already carried out, materials specially ordered and other additional costs including storage.
Risk of, loss of, or damage to work completed by Print4Taxis shall pass to the customer on delivery. Notwithstanding delivery and the passing of risk in the work to the customer, ownership of and title to the work shall not pass to the customer and shall be retained by Print4Taxis until Print4Taxis has received payment in full in respect of the work.
In the unlikely event that Print4Taxis deems it necessary to re-print work, the Guaranteed Period shall recommence from the time of Print4Taxis' confirmation to the customer of its agreement to reprint the work.

10. Variations In Quantity
Every endeavour will be made to deliver the correct quantity ordered. However some variation is inherent in the print process and it is understood and accepted as reasonable that minor variations are immaterial and that Print4Taxis shall have no liability in respect of such variations. For other variations Print4Taxis' entire liability will be to award a Credit. The Customer's sole remedy in respect of shortages above these quantities ("Additional Shortages") will be a re-print of the entire shortage quantity of the relevant work, to be undertaken by Print4Taxis within a reasonable period of time. The Customer shall not be entitled to a Credit in respect of an Additional Shortage.

11. Claims
Advice of damage, delay or partial loss of goods in transit or of non-delivery must be given in writing to Print4Taxis and the carrier within three clear days of delivery (or, in the case of non-delivery within 28 days of despatch of the goods) and any claim in respect thereof must be made in writing to Print4Taxis and the carrier within seven clear days of delivery (or, in the case of non-delivery, within 42 days of despatch). All other claims must be made in writing to Print4Taxis within 28 days of delivery. Print4Taxis shall not be liable in respect of any claim unless the aforementioned requirements have been complied with except in any particular case where the customer proves that (i) it was not possible to comply with the requirements and (ii) advice (where required) was given and the claim made as soon as reasonably possible.

12. Liability
Print4Taxis gives no warranties or guarantees or makes any representations as to the merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose of any completed work the subject of a customer's order and all other warranties, conditions, guarantees or representations, whether express or implied, oral or in writing, except as expressly stated in these terms and conditions are hereby excluded. Print4Taxis shall not be liable for any loss arising from delay in transit not caused by Print4Taxis. Further, Print4Taxis shall not be liable for any indirect, special or consequential damages, loss of profits, economic loss, loss of goodwill or loss of anticipated savings or loss of data. The total aggregate liability of Print4Taxis in respect of any and all causes of action arising out of or in connection with the customer's order and Print4Taxis' performance of services pursuant to such order (whether for breach of contract, strict liability, tort (including, without limitation, negligence), misrepresentation or otherwise) shall (subject to the provisions of paragraph 10) be limited to the sums paid to Print4Taxis by the customer in respect of the order pursuant to which liability has arisen. Nothing in these terms and conditions shall be construed so as to limit or exclude liability which cannot, pursuant to English Law, be excluded or limited including for death or personal injury or liability in respect of fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation.

13. Standing Material
Metal and other materials owned by and used by it in the production of plates, film-setting, negatives, positives and the like shall remain the exclusive property of Print4Taxis. Such items when supplied by the customer shall remain the customer's property.

14. Customer's Property
The customer's property and all property supplied to Print4Taxis by or on behalf of the customer shall while it is in the possession of Print4Taxis or in transit to or from the customer be deemed to be at customer's risk unless otherwise agreed and the customer should insure such property accordingly.
Where a customer fails to collect work within 20 working days from notification to the customer of completion of the work, Print4Taxis shall be entitled, at its discretion, to either store the work until actual delivery or collection is made and charge the customer for the costs (including insurance) of storage or to destroy such work (provided that the customer shall nevertheless remain liable for payment in respect of the relevant order).

15. Materials Supplied by the Customer
Print4Taxis may reject any paper, plates or other materials supplied or specified by the customer which it considers to be unsuitable. Additional cost incurred if materials are found to be unsuitable during production may be charged except that if the whole or any part of such additional cost could have been avoided but for unreasonable delay by Print4Taxis in ascertaining the unsuitability of the materials then that amount shall not be charged to the customer.
Print4Taxis shall have no liability in respect of any work being of less than reasonably satisfactory quality as a result of defects in or the unsuitability of materials supplied or specified by the customer.
Print4Taxis shall assume that quantities of materials supplied shall be adequate to cover normal spoilage accordingly if the quantities of materials supplied are not sufficient to cover normal spoilage ("an Insufficient Supply") then Print4Taxis shall have no liability for any shortfall in quantity to the extent that such shortfall arises as a result of such Insufficient Supply.

16. Credit Terms and Payment
For invoices not settled within the agreed credit terms or for payments returned unpaid (such as cheques, credit cards or similar), Print4Taxis reserves the right to charge interest on the overdue debt at 2% above the HSBC base rate at the time and an administration fee to cover its debt recovery costs and any other costs relating to the collection of payment.

18. Illegal Matter
Print4Taxis shall not be required to print any matter which in its opinion is or may be of an illegal or libellous nature or an infringement of the proprietary or other rights or any third party.
Without prejudice to paragraph 7 above, the customer shall indemnify and hold Print4Taxis harmless against all claims, demands, costs, expenses (including but not limited to legal costs and disbursements), losses and damages arising from or suffered or incurred by reason of the work it is required to produce pursuant to a customer order being or alleged to be defamatory.

19. Periodical Publications
Save in respect of a material breach and/or in the event that a claim arises under any indemnity set out above a contract for the printing of a periodical publication may not be terminated by either party unless 13 weeks notice in writing is given in the case of periodicals produced monthly or more frequently or 26 weeks notice in writing is given in the case of other periodicals. Notice may be given at any time but wherever possible should be given after completion of work on any one issue. Without prejudice to the foregoing, Print4Taxis may terminate any such contract forthwith should any sum due thereunder remain unpaid for a period of 7 or more days from its due date.

20. Full Colour Printing
All reasonable efforts shall be made to obtain the best possible colour reproduction on customer's work but variation is inherent in the print process and it is understood and accepted as reasonable that, Print4Taxis shall not be required to guarantee an exact match in colour or texture between the customer's photograph, transparency, proof, electronic graphic file, previously printed matter (whether printed by Print4Taxis or other party) or any other materials supplied by the customer and the printed article the subject of the customer's order.
Furthermore the customer acknowledges and accepts that visual representations displayed on computer screens vary significantly and Print4Taxis cannot guarantee that the colours of completed work will match those displayed on your computer screen during the ordering process.
