Terms and conditions

BY USING THIS WEBSITE AND/OR PURCHASING ANY PRODUCT(S) FROM POLKA DOT PAPER, YOU ACCEPT THAT YOU ARE ENTERING INTO A CONTRACT WITH US UNDER THE FOLLOWING TERMS AND CONDITIONS.

WE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO AMEND THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS AT ANY TIME.

COPYRIGHT

All designs and illustrations are the copyright and property of Polka Dot Paper. Neither you, nor a third party may copy any part of the design or reproduce it in any way without permission from Polka Dot Paper. We reserve the right to reproduce, photograph and/or publish, on any website and/or social media platform, any part of the design(s) created for you.

QUOTES AND DEPOSITS

Quotes are valid for 7 days only.

Any deposit payment requested by us must be paid before any design work begins. All deposits are non-refundable. The outstanding balance must be paid in full before printing takes place.

PROOFS AND REVISIONS

For semi-custom design collections, 2 rounds of revisions are included with your order (in addition to your first drafts). Thereafter, additional revisions will incur additional charges at a rate of $80 AUD per hour, charged in one hour increments.

Please choose your semi-custom design carefully, as change of mind on design collection after we have commenced design work will incur a redesign fee starting at $80 AUD.  

For bespoke designs, 3 free rounds of revisions are included with your order. Thereafter, revisions will be charged at an hourly rate of $80 AUD.

You are responsible for proof reading all text and copy in the digital proof(s) supplied to you. By approving your final proof(s) for print, you accept full responsibility for the information, spelling, grammar and layout as shown in the final proof(s). If mistakes are found after you approve the final proof(s) and your items need to be reprinted, you will be charged for the reprinting. To prevent these errors from happening, please review your proof(s) carefully before approving them for print.

CANCELLATIONS/REFUNDS

We do not offer refunds due to change of mind or change of personal circumstances. Please choose carefully upon ordering. If we have not yet commenced design work on your order, you may change your items to something else in our product range to make up the value you have already paid. 

DAMAGED, FAULTY OR MISSING ITEMS

We do not offer any refunds on personalised/customised orders due to the personal nature of the goods. This applies to all items which are tailored to you specifically, including but not limited to, wedding invitations, save the dates, table plans, menus, place cards and table numbers.

If, upon receiving your product(s), they are damaged or the printing is deemed faulty, you may request a reprint within 5 days of receiving the product(s). A reprint request must be made in writing or via email. We will not reprint your product(s) if the content is wrong due to a mistake made when ordering – this does not constitute faulty printing.

Reprints will only be offered free of charge if we deem that the stationery is faulty or does not meet the specifications of your order. If you request a reprint, we may request that you return all or some of the product(s) to us first (at your own cost).  We may also request photographic evidence of alleged fault or damage. Reprints will not be ordered unless and until we receive the returned product(s) and photographic evidence as requested by us.  We also retain copies of all printed goods to enable us to assess any possible printing fault or damage.

We do not offer any refunds on damaged, faulty on missing items. Rather, we will reprint your product(s) in accordance with these terms and conditions.

DELIVERY

Estimated delivery times can be viewed here. 

Full orders are sent using a tracked service (tracking details will be provided to the customer). Sample pack orders are sent without tracking.

Polka Dot Paper cannot be held responsible for any loss, damage or delay in transit once the order has been dispatched. We will take the utmost care to ensure safe and appropriate packaging and delivery methods are used.

International shipments may be subject to duties and taxes which are determined by the country to which we are delivering. These fees are the sole responsibility of the customer, and will not be represented in your shopping cart upon placing your order. 

PRINTING VARIATIONS

Printed colours may slightly differ to those seen on screen. If you are unsure about a colour, printed proofs are available on request, at additional cost. Printed samples and printed proofs may not exactly match the finished product due to variations in the print production process. Printing can result in small variations. Minor differences in texture, colour, size and positioning can sometimes occur and are not classed as a fault.

All the testimonials on this website are written by clients of Polka Dot Paper.  By placing an order with Polka Dot Paper, you agree to images of your stationery and any feedback sent via email being published on our website or on any social media platform.
