Terms & Conditions

Below you will find our company terms and conditions:

Orders

All orders are subject to acceptance by Historic Newspapers. Within 1 working day of our receipt of your order, you will receive a confirmation of your order by email, along with your order reference number. This number should be retained for future reference. Any acceptance of your order by Historic Newspapers is subject to these conditions of sale and to the availability of stock.

Historic Newspapers reserves the right to withdraw any Products from Historic Newspapers and may, in its sole discretion, refuse to process an order for any reason at any time. Without prejudice to your statutory rights as a consumer, Historic Newspapers will not be liable to you or a third party by reason of Historic Newspapers withdrawing any Product or refusing to process any order.

Price and Payment

Delivery charges may apply and are as laid out in the Delivery Details. Except in the case of manifest error, the prices payable for Products that you order are as set out on the Website at the time at which you place your order.

Payment may be made using a wide selection of credit/debit cards and PayPal (please refer to our Payment Method section in the Help Desk). You confirm that the credit/debit card which is being used is yours. Your credit/debit card details will be transmitted to a secure server. All credit/debit card holders are subject to validation checks and authorisation by the card issuer.

Description of Products

The Products depicted are as seen. The reproduction of colours and styles is as accurate as photographic and image processing will allow. Historic Newspapers does not accept responsibility for slight variances in colour and style.

Cancellations

You have a legal right to cancel an order in respect of items which are not personalised or made to your specifications (“bespoke items”) and this is set out under “Cancellations” below.

If you have placed an order for a Personalised or Non-Personalised Product, you can make the request to amend or cancel your order by contacting us as quickly as possible by emailing us at info@historic-newspapers.com indicating the order number, which item(s) and the number of items to be cancelled, your reason for cancellation, and whether you are seeking a replacement or refund. We also ask you to give us a daytime contact telephone number.

Amending and Cancelling an Order for any Product Before Personalization

• Definition of Amendment: request to change personalization, delivery contact name and address, or upgrade delivery method.
• Definition of Cancellation: request to cancel the whole or part of your order.

If your product whether personalized or not personalized has gone into production or has been dispatched between when you place the order and when we pick up your request to amend or cancel your order, then we will be unable to amend or cancel the order. We do not work weekends or bank holidays, therefore if you have made a request to amend or cancel your order during this period we will pick up your request when we start the next working day, and will always try to notify you that day if your request was successful. However, we do experience high volumes of customer contact which can delay our response and action to your support request.

Cancelling Personalised Products

Unless there has been an error on our part, or the item you purchased is defective, you have no right to cancel and we cannot accept returns on ‘Personalised’ or ‘bespoke’ items, whether by name or date, as these cannot be sold to anyone else. Our website is designed to give customers every opportunity to check all input/personalisation details and dates.

Cancelling Non-Personalised Products

You have the right to cancel a contract for an item which is not personalised/bespoke within 14 days without giving any reason.

The cancellation period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the goods. In the case of a contract relating to multiple goods ordered in one order and delivered separately the cancellation period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good.

Effect of Cancellation

If you cancel this contract in accordance with these terms and conditions listed, we will reimburse you the agreed amount.

We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.

We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for delivery costs if there was a cost involved to get the order sent to you, in the event of you cancelling due to a change of mind. See ‘change of mind’ under the returns policy.

We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than:

1. 14 days after the day we receive back from you any goods supplied, or
2. (if earlier) 14 days after the day you provide evidence that you have returned the goods, or
3. if there were no goods supplied, 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to cancel this contract.

We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of the reimbursement. We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.

You shall send back the goods or hand them over to us without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the date on which you communicate your cancellation of this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods by post. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the goods’ nature, characteristics and functioning.

Returns

If you want to return an item, simply email us at info@historic-newspapers.com indicating the order number, which item(s) and the number of items to be returned, your reason for returning the item, and whether you are seeking a replacement, alternative or refund. We also ask you to give us a daytime contact telephone number. If the item is returnable under our Returns Policy terms and conditions as per below, we will issue you with a returns address and a Returns Authorisation Code. You must obtain a Returns Authorisation Code before sending anything back to us or we will not otherwise be able to process your Return.

• Returns on Personalised Products Unless there has been an error on our part, or the item you purchased is defective, we cannot accept Returns on ‘Personalised’ items, as these cannot be sold to anyone else. Our website is designed to give customers every opportunity to check all input and personalisation details.
• Returns on Non-Personalised Products Unless there has been an error on our part, or the item you purchased is defective, we can only accept Returns on ‘Non-Personalised’ items if you contact us within 14 days from the received date.
• Lost in Transit if Product Returned We cannot be held responsible for packages lost in transit: as you are responsible for returning the items to us, we recommend sending the packages by Recorded/Special delivery.

Change of Mind

• Change of Mind on Personalised Products Unless there has been an error on our part, or the item you purchased is defective, we cannot accept a return if the product has been personalised and the order has been fulfilled correctly, as these cannot be sold to anyone else.
• Change of Mind on Non-Personalised Products Products returned to us because you have changed your mind must be in a perfect re-saleable condition, and we must be contacted within 14 days from the received date.

Defective Items

If you return an item, whether personalised or not, because of an error on our part, or because it is defective, we will happily refund your costs in returning it to us. The item(s) must be returned in the condition in which you received it within 30 days of delivery.

Refunds and Replacements

For item(s) returned to us within 14 days of the request of return with the appropriate Returns Authorisation Code and in accordance with these terms and conditions, a refund or replacement will be processed by Historic Newspapers within 14 working days of receipt of the returned items. A refund will be made in the same form of payment that was used to make the initial purchase. If you would like a Replacement, this will be to your original product specification (e.g. Gift Box) as detailed on your original order.
