3. Products - We reserve the right to alter any details or design of products illustrated without prior notice. For repeat orders, The Seller cannot guarantee that goods will be exactly the same as previously supplied. The responsibility is on The Client to ensure we have the correct details from previous orders.

In order to print efficiently from the artwork you supply, it may be necessary to adjust or redraw your artwork. You will be advised of the
changes made. No orders will be produced until we have received in writing your "signed off" approval of the personalisation required.
In order to sign off your artwork we will send you an artwork approval form via email illustrating how your artwork will look on your
chosen product. This must be checked thoroughly and signed as notice of approval before being returned to us. The job will not
commence until we have received this signed approval. You must notify us of any discrepancies in the artwork so that amendments can
be made and revised approvals can be sent for final approval. We do not accept any liability for any post-completion errors or omissions
that have been identified after the goods have been received that differ from the approved artwork. Once an item has been personalised
to The Client's specification the item is non-returnable.
