    How an Order is placed

  2. After an Order is placed this will constitute an offer by you to us to arrange for the manufacture and delivery of the relevant Product and we will confirm our acceptance to you by sending you a notification (via the API dashboard made available to you for accessing and monitoring your KITE Business Service Account (the “Dashboard”) containing an Order number (a “Confirmation”). The contract between us in relation to the Order for Product(s) for which the Confirmation has been sent will only be formed when we send you the Confirmation or provide the Confirmation for you within the Dashboard.
  3. If we are unable to supply a Product, for example because that Product is not in stock or no longer available or because of an error in the price within the KITE Business Service interface, we will inform you of this prior to sending you a Confirmation and we will not process the Order. If you have already paid for the Product(s), or we have otherwise taken payment, we will refund you the full amount in respect of Products that cannot be supplied as soon as possible.
  4. Once the contract between us is formed as per Clause 8.2 you may not cancel the Order. This is because the Products you Order are entirely bespoke and we use a highly automated print system whereby all Orders are placed immediately into the print system for processing, once Confirmation has been issued to you in accordance with Clause 8.2.

You must tell us of any Product faults within 20 days of the date on which we sent you the Confirmation relating to those Products. To report any problems, please contact us on hello@kite.ly. We will endeavour to respond to all customer service requests within 48 hours. We will only refund or replace items where required to do so by law and may require photographic evidence of the faulty or defective Products.
  1. We use a third party printer to create Products through the KITE Business Service, and our third party suppliers deliver the Products to the relevant address supplied within an Order. We will use our reasonable endeavours to Fulfil your Order by the estimated delivery date set out in the Dispatch Confirmation, generally within 5 working days UK, 10 working days Europe or 14 working days internationally unless there is an Event Outside Our Control (as defined in Clause 14). If we are unable to meet the estimated delivery date because of an Event Outside Our Control, we will contact you with a revised estimated delivery date.

  5. If you order Products for delivery to one of the International Delivery Destinations, your Order may be subject to import duties and taxes which are applied when the delivery reaches that destination. Please note that we have no control over these charges and we cannot predict their amount. You will be responsible for payment of any such import duties and taxes. Please contact your local customs office for further information before placing your Order. We shall have no liability for any Products not delivered to an International Delivery Destination where the Products are seized or held in Customs, or where Products cannot be released or are destroyed.
  1. If you purchase Products, you agree to pay the prices for the Products as set out in the KITE Business Service from time to time.
