Book Printing UK Refund & Cancellation Policy

Book Printing UK products are made to order and customised to each customer’s specification. As such, cancellation rights under the Consumer Contracts Regulations may not apply once work has commenced. Returns and refunds can therefore only be accepted where an order is deemed faulty or damaged. Any faults, damages, or shortages must be reported within 30 working days of delivery.

Your purchase includes both the final product and any services carried out in relation to your order, including file preparation, amendments, pre-production work, and delivery costs. While certain services may not be separately itemised, they form part of the overall contract and order value. If a refund is requested after work has commenced on your supplied files, we reserve the right to retain a charge for works carried out.

Once design amendments and/or proofing work have been completed, these service fees become non-refundable.

If any physical goods are later found to be defective, any refund or replacement will apply to the manufacturing element of the order only, unless the issue resulted directly from the design service provided.

If an issue arises with an order and a refund is agreed, any completed design, amendment, proofing, or printed proof services included within the order will be retained and deducted from the refund value, as these services are non-refundable once carried out. As standard, the following charges apply:

• Word document fee: £60

• PDF fee: £30

• Printed proof fee:

     o Paperback: £15

     o Hardback: £25

Refunds  

For claims made after product despatch, customers may be required to return the products to Book Printing UK for investigation. Upon receipt, the products will be inspected, and we will confirm whether the issue is deemed to be a manufacturing defect or fault.

Where an error or defect is found to be the responsibility of Book Printing UK, we reserve the right to offer a replacement, reprint, repair, or refund as appropriate. Any approved refund will be made using the original payment method and processed within 14 days of receipt of the returned goods or agreement of cancellation.

If the investigation determines that the products are not defective, the items may be returned to the customer.

Customer-approved proofs are deemed accepted for print production, and Book Printing UK cannot accept responsibility for errors identified after approval.

This Returns and Refunds Policy should be read in conjunction with our Terms & Conditions. In the event of any conflict, the Terms & Conditions shall prevail.
