When we refer to "Personalised Gifts" in these Terms, we mean us, the Site, and/or the Services, according to the context.

Visitors to Personalised Gifts who use the Site, and/or our Services, affirm that they are bound by these Terms each time they access Personalised Gifts. If you do not agree to these Terms, you must not use this Website.

You should be aware that these Terms may change from time to time in accordance with section 12 below.

You will be able to access most areas of the Website without registering your details with us. Certain areas, including the “Vendor Area” is only available to our Vendor Partners. You will be required to “login” if you wish to access the “My Account” area, using the email address you provided at the time of purchase.

2. Personalised Products

Personalised Gifts aims to provide you with a fast, high-quality service. We strongly recommend that you double-check your order on screen and your acknowledgement email carefully to check that all the details are correct. It is up to you to ensure that content you have contributed for inclusion in a personalised product is correct, and (for example) is correctly spelt. As a courtesy, we may allow you to make changes to your order if it has not already been produced.

To do this, please contact our Customer Service Team by email "contact us" between 9am and 5pm Monday to Friday, except Bank Holidays in England.

If you are uploading a photo, images must be in JPEG or PNG format. Any other format such as Word documents and PDFs cannot be accepted. We print images at 300DPI (Dots Per Inch), so if you are scanning the image we recommend you use this setting.

Personalised GIfts and our Vendor Partners cannot be held responsible if the photo you choose to upload has a lower resolution than required to achieve the highest quality finish. If we believe the image quality to be unsuitable for printing, we will try to contact you as soon as possible, by any means of communication you have provided. We will allow a new image to be provided and will produce a PDF proof of the revised product. If you fail to respond to our attempts to communicate with you and we are going to miss the delivery deadline, we will print the product using the content and material supplied.

By uploading, posting, contributing or including any content or material in a personalised product, you grant us a non-exclusive, royalty-free, irrevocable licence (including the right to grant sub-licences through multiple tiers) to use, reproduce, adapt, distribute and communicate to the public that content or material solely for the purpose of performing obligations and exercising rights under these Terms. Note that we may modify content or material in order to conform it to Creation Express or the requirements of the product you have ordered (such as by cropping images).

3. The Contract between You and Us

Whenever you purchase a product through this Website, you will be entering into a legally binding contract with us. The process for creating this contract is as follows:

• At this point, we take payment for your order by means of your nominated payment method. You can pay for your products using credit card, debit card or any other payment method which we make available to you at the time of your order.
• The User places the order on the Site by pressing an order confirmation button ("Checkout") at the end of the checkout process.
• We will send you an email detailing your order, and other information we must provide to you, acknowledging that we have received your order. Your order constitutes an offer to us to purchase a Product and does not mean that your order has been accepted.
• The Contract will relate only to those Products whose despatch we have confirmed in the Despatch Confirmation (which we are legally obliged to supply to you following acceptance of your order). We will not be obliged to supply any other Products which may have been part of your order until the despatch of such Products has been confirmed in a separate Despatch Confirmation.
• All orders are subject to acceptance by us. We will confirm such acceptance to you by sending you an e-mail that confirms that the Product has been despatched (“Despatch Confirmation”). The contract between us (“Contract”) will only be formed when we send you the Despatch Confirmation. Please note that we reserve the right to stop your order – even after sending the Despatch Confirmation - if we have reasonable grounds to believe that your order is fraudulent. If this is the case, then we will notify you by email.

From time to time, we may reject an order for the following reasons:

• If there has been a relevant pricing or product description error.
• If, unfortunately, we do not have your chosen product in stock.
• Where we cannot obtain authorisation for your payment.
• We suspect that the order has been placed fraudulently.
• If you have requested “Collect in Store” at the Checkout and our Vendors Partner cannot fulfil the order.
• If your order otherwise breaches any of the requirements of these Terms.
• The use of images for a personalised product which are corrupted, unsupported technically or inadequately pixelated.
• If a personalised product you wish to order contains anything which contravenes, or appears to contravene, our Content Rules (see section 4).
• It appears that the order mistakenly duplicates another order.

If your order is rejected, we will contact you to confirm this and reverse the payment you have made for that order.

There are limited circumstances in which you may cancel an order after it has been made (section 7).

Note that we may bar or prevent an individual Account, User, email address or other identifier from making purchases or otherwise interacting with us where we reasonably suspect an association with fraud or other infringements of the law.

At Personalised Gifts, we always try to send your products in perfect condition. However, occasionally, a problem can arise.

If for any reason you are not happy with your Personalised GIfts order, please contact our Customer Service Team, by phone, email, or our contact form within 14 days of receiving your order.
