The
Fine Print
Our Terms and Conditions
Please read these carefully before you complete your purchase.
Printing digitally on fabric is magical but still quite expensive. The
technology can be unpredictable and on occasion it will disappoint ...
and that's all there is to it. We make every effort to offer a good service
but you should be aware of this at the outset and our terms of service
before you commission any work.
Our
prices are set to encourage experimentation but this means there is no
real margin to cover the cost of reprints. That is why our terms make
it clear that irrespective of the results, our basic effort
and costs should be made safe. It pays for email support and to prep and
preview your artwork, print it, steam the cotton, launder it, iron it
and sew it before packaging it & shipping.
We
want you to be clear on this up front. And if you are concerned it may
be better you do not place the order. -- Rosablue

Your
Risk
Customers
commission fabric printing at their own risk. We do not ask you to commit
to purchase until you have seen your preview. However, once
you have accepted a preview, you commit to paying the costs of production
and postage for the item/s and this is equal to 60% of the purchase
price. This is non-negotiable,
The fuller amount is not refundable, nor will a reprint be obilgatory
except in the following circumstances:
There are
no exceptions to these conditions so please do not accept a
preview and proceed to payment if you have any queries about the image
treatment. Once a customer signs off a preview The Fabric Press/Rosablue
is under no obligation to recall the item.
If you choose not
complete the feedback form provided, as requested by us, it will be
assumed that you are familiar with these terms.
In the case of a length of fabric, please be clear that there are certain
risks in placing an order that are unavoidable. One of these are natural
flaws in the cotton itself or loss of shade density due to uneven reactivity
to the dye. In the case of a such a flaw, we may offer the fabric at
a reduced price or we may offer to try a second reprint. Should the
second print also be deemed to contain flaws we may choose not reprint
again.
Cotton shrinks when it is washed. We will not refund
if you have not allowed for this in your artwork and we will indicate
the price differential in our quotation when we suspect you have not
done so.
Cost
of returns
If you want an item replaced or returned, we will ask you to return
the original to us before we make a decision. If a customer decides
not to return the item unused, we will assume he or she is satisfied
with it and no refund can be considered. The customer will need to
inform Rosablue right away that he or she intends to return the item.
And when an item is returned the customer will bear the cost of postage
and this will only be refunded if Rosablue acknowledges the validity
of the complaint.
Special Delivery*: Our
prices refere to 1st Class Registered postage and items must be signed
for at the delivery address. Undelivered items sent this way are not
trackable for three weeks and customers will be charged £5.00
if we must resend. If you need overnight tracking, please ask for
the additional 15% Special Delivery surcharge above.
Registering
a complaint
If there is a problem, use the HELP
DESK to your complaint to us in writing by
email, and please include any detail relative to your order and transaction
when you do so. This assures that both the customer and Rosablue share
the same record of any ongoing discussion. We will respond promptly.
We have no intention of disputing your position if you explain to
us how our service has not matched the terms of our offer. But please
avoid contacting us by telephone if you have not already notified
us of the incident by email and have received our reply.
* If an agreement to consider a refund has been reached the goods
must be returned immediately. If we have not received the goods unused
within a week no review will be considered.
Returns
can be resold
Any fabric returned to us as "worthless"
without concern for our decision will be recycled or sold on, to recoup
the costs of production.
BLOCKED
SERVICE
Rosablue reserves the right to refuse and block emails from
users who abuse the preview service or infringe the conditions
stated above. Customers who ask for a free preview are asked to
feedback. Failure to do so is likely to result in that email address
being blocked from the service. Alternatively, future previews
will only be supplied on receipt of advance payment for the order.
Also If a customer has been disappointed by one of our products
Rosablue may choose not to continue to trade with that individual
or company, in order to avoid further disappointment.

Some Advice
Preparing your artwork: We
publish guidelines on the site here
to help customers prepare their artwork appropriately and urge customers
to review them prior to sumbitting their orders. If you do not pay
attention to these -- for example but submitting artwork which is
not at "actual size" -- please do not expect a query you
place after purchase to be reviewed.
Preview 1: sign off
Consider this process carefully. In all cases where the image is submitted
digitally the quality of the image is the sole responsibility of the
customer. When you accept a product preview you are in fact accepting
the costs of production for that item, regardless of whether you like
it or not when you receive it.
NB: Please
note that if you sign off a preview you have effectively committed
to purchase and you cannot cancel the order thereafter.
Preview 2: colour matching
We usually deliver a close match to the colours of your screen preview,
but we do not guarantee a match. Sometimes the dyes can behave unpredictably,
particularly in the case of some browns and blue/violet. So we can
only guarantee the best reproduction our equipment is capable of.
If you are concerned about colour please order a sampler swatch
and test your palette before proceeding with a more costly order.
Unless you have done so, colour reproduction is at your own risk.
Preview
3: using tints & duotones
And this is even more important if you ask for a Duotone tint (sepia,
blue, etc). You must know that every digital file will react differently
to this treatment. As a result we cannot guarantee that the final
product will be a perfect match to the colour sample viewed in the
preview page. If you do not wish to take this risk, please ask for
a full-colour or black-and-white treatment.
Preview 3: pre-edited images
Digital files may contain colour information that are not easy to
see on screen prior to printing. This is more likely to occur with
images that have been pre-edited using photo editing software. In
these cases we cannot extend our customary quality guarantees and
we will warn you of this when we offer you a preview.
Preview 4: online
product descriptions
Rosablue makes every effort to deliver items precisely as described
on their website and as they would be displayed in their shop.
If you have any query about the description of the items and the fabrics
used, be it the particular value of a colour used in our backing fabrics,
our linings, or the mock leather used in the bags, make sure these
are answered prior to purchase.
Printing
on Cotton
The expectations and judgements of customers are so individual and
differ so greatly that Rosablue cannot advise a customer on the likely
effectiveness of an image, except to stress that the quality of an
image cannot be improved by the process of reproduction onto cotton
fabric.
In some cases, Rosablue may warn customers that certain images may
yield disappointing results. In all such cases, no refund will be
considered after delivery.
Because with sales
on the Internet the physical items cannot be sampled, we accept that
on occasion a customer can be disappointed with an item they receive.
But if we believe our service has not failed we will always retain
our cost of production.
Using
Customer Prints
If the customer submitted a print and Rosablue was solely responsible
for the scanning and image preparation, a partial refund or a reprint
will be considered if the original article is returned unused.
BACK
Safety
Rosablue items are not indended as toys and should not be given to
children as such. Customers are responsible for ensuring that children
are not given such items to play with or left with them unattended.
