Your rights to claim if you are not happy - Claims and Liability
Claims
Advice of damage, delay or loss of goods in transit or of non-delivery must be given in writing to the Seller and the carrier within three clear days of delivery (or, in the case of non-delivery, within 3 days of notification of dispatch of the goods) and any claim in respect thereof must be made in writing to the Seller and the carrier within seven clear days of delivery (or, in the case of non-delivery, within 7 days of notification of dispatch).
If damage has occurred during transit the Buyer must mark the delivery note of delivery service as such or the claim will not be recoverable by the Seller from the delivery service. All other claims must be made in writing to the Seller within 14 days of delivery. The Seller shall not be liable in respect of any claim unless the aforementioned requirements have been complied with except in any particular case where the Buyer proves that (i) it was not possible to comply with the requirements and (ii) the claim was made as soon as reasonably possible.
If the Work is defective so that the Buyer may in law reject it, said rejection must take place within 7 days of delivery of the goods, failing which the Buyer will be deemed to have accepted the Work.
In the event of all or any claims or rejections the Seller reserves the right to inspect the Work within seven days of the claim or rejection being notified.
All GlobPrint Products are considered goods made to customers’ specifications and as such are excluded from the right to cancel. Buyer has a right to cancel an Order provided it did not go past Preliminary Work stage.
Liability
Insofar as is permitted by law where Work is defective for any reason, including negligence, the Seller's liability (if any) shall be limited to rectifying such defect, or crediting its value against any invoice raised in respect of the Work.
Where the Seller performs its obligations to rectify defective work under this condition the Seller shall not be liable for indirect loss, consequential loss or third party claims occasioned by defective Work and the Buyer shall not be entitled to any further claim in respect of the Work nor shall the Buyer be entitled to repudiate the contract, refuse to pay for the Work or cancel further deliveries.
The Seller shall not be liable for indirect loss, consequential loss or third party claims occasioned by delay in completing the Work or for any loss to the Buyer arising from delay in transit, whether as a result of the Seller's negligence or otherwise.
Where the Seller offers to replace defective Work the Buyer must accept such an offer unless he can show clear cause for refusing to do so. If the Buyer opts to have the work re-done by any third party without reference to the Seller the Buyer automatically revokes his right to any remedy from the Seller, including but not exclusively the right to a credit in respect of Work done by the Seller.
Where the Work will be forwarded by or on behalf of the Buyer to a third party for further processing the Buyer will be deemed to have inspected and approved the Work prior to forwarding and the Seller accepts no liability for claims arising subsequent to the third party’s processing.
The Seller reserves the right to reject any Work forwarded to him after initial processing by a third party as soon as is reasonably practicable without processing the Work any further. Should the Buyer require the Seller notwithstanding to continue, then the Seller is only obliged to do so after confirmation from the Buyer in writing.
Nothing in these conditions shall exclude the Seller's liability for death or personal injury as a result of its negligence.
Force majeure
The Seller shall be under no liability if he shall be unable to carry out any provision of the contract for any reason beyond his reasonable control including (without limiting the foregoing): Act of God; legislation; war; fire; flood; drought; inadequacy or unsuitability of any instructions, electronic file or other data or materials supplied by the Buyer; failure of power supply; lock-out, strike or other action taken by employees in contemplation or furtherance of a dispute; or owing to any inability to procure materials required for the performance of the contract. During the continuance of such a contingency the Buyer may by written notice to the Seller elect to terminate the contract and pay for Work done and materials used, but subject thereto shall otherwise accept delivery when available.
Law
These conditions and all other express and implied terms of the contract shall be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of Ireland and the parties agree to submit to the jurisdiction of the courts of Ireland.
