Damages
While we make every effort to ensure your order is well packed, we fully appreciate that damages sometimes occur during transit.

Returns
Please note: As our custom prints are made to order to your size, paper and framing specifications, we cannot accept returns on these unless faulty or damaged.
Although we are confident of the high quality of our goods, we recognise that there may be occasions when a customer might wish to return an item. You may therefore return a purchase to us in its original condition and packaging within 30 days for a refund or replacement, where possible. Please enclose a note giving your order number, name, address, contact telephone number and e-mail address, together with the reason for the return. We strongly advise you use a tracked service to post any returns and keep proof of posting the goods to us. It is the customer's responsibility to ensure items are safely returned to us.
Postage will only be refunded if the item is faulty or incorrectly supplied. This returns policy does not affect your statutory rights.
