The Agreement: This document
IPR: Intellectual Property
Rights
1. Fine Art Prints
1.1 Any form of copying requires ownership of the copyright
or authorisation by way of a specific licence from the
right holder. It is the responsibility of all Ionaca
customers to ensure that copyright is fully owned or
authorised for the reproduction of all aspects of the
work including the main image and any form of logos and
decals; and indemnify Ionaca against any claims of copyright.
1.2 We will endeavour to colour match print reproductions
as closely as possible but this cannot be guaranteed.
A4 proofs can be produced in the presence of our customers.
It is highly preferable if the original artwork or an
accurate source print can be provided as an aid to the
proofing process.
1.3 All digital image files that are produced by Ionaca
are physical and intellectual property
of Ionaca. The
copyright
and
intellectual
property of the original artwork belongs to the producing
artist.
If at any time a digital image file
is required,
then a fee is payable in proportion to the required image
size
as well as fees for scanning and transfer to a CD or
DVD. However, print ready digital files can not be released
under
any
circumstances. If prints are the only requirement then
Ionaca may consider waving all fees except for the printing.
1.4 The inks, fine art paper and canvas used in the creation
of giclee prints are of the highest quality available.
Most of our papers (including Epson. HP, Hahnemuehle and Canson) have been independently tested by Wilhelm Imaging Research and found to be fade resistant for many years. To further increase
the longevity of your giclee print, do not expose to
direct sunlight or excessive moisture. Prints must be
handled with care at all times using clean cotton gloves.
Illumination conditions in homes, offices, and galleries
do vary and images will last longer when displayed under
lower light levels; likewise, the life of prints will
be shortened when displayed under illumination that is
more intense than 450 lux. Actual print stability will
vary according to media, printed image, display conditions,
light intensity, humidity, and atmospheric conditions.
We do not guarantee longevity of prints. For maximum
print life, display all prints under glass or lamination
or properly store them
1.5 Unless requested otherwise, giclee prints will be
boxed and shipped unframed and rolled in a crush resistant
tube or carton. The total postage cost will be based
on a combination of postage weight, size and the packaging.
Second class postage will normally be used.

3. Financial
3.1 Please contact us for a formal quotation. We will endeavour to produce an estimate that is as accurate as possible but there may be situations where the final price is more (and sometimes less) than the initial estimate.
3.2 A materials deposit may be required which will be at least 25% of the gross estimate.
3.3
All goods remain the property of Ionaca Ltd until payment has been received and cleared in full.
3.4 Payment can be made electronically by using PayPal
or by using direct bank transfer. PayPal payments can be made using a credit card, debit card and bank direct debit. (You do not even need to have a PayPal account to use PayPal when paying with a credit or debit card.) You can also use a charge card with PayPal but American Express will charge you an additional commission even if you card is registered in the UK. Payment can also be made by cheque if drawn from a UK bank or building society.
3.5 Purchases normally require payment in advance but we may consider payment on delivery at our discretion. We may also offer credit terms at our discretion in which case full payment must be made within 15 calendar days from the issue date of our invoice to avoid incurring interest. Credit terms are offered with good-will for your convenience but please do not attempt to use the facility to deliberately delay payment such as sending post-dated cheques. We reserve the right and without notice to reduce the credit period or withdraw it altogether.
3.6 Please avoid making any payment errors as you may be charged interest if your payment is late.
Please ensure that cheques are completed correctly using British convention as we are not able to make any alterations. Please ensure electronic bank transfers are sent to the exact account name and numbers that we provide. Please also ensure that you have sufficient funds available.
3.7 Payments on credit that are received after 15 calendar days from the issue date of the invoice will be subject to interest. Interest will be back-dated to the issue date of the invoice and will be calculated as follows:
Interest amount =
gross debt x 30% x (the number of calendar days from invoice issue date / 365)
Any payment or part payment of outstanding debt will go to reduce the amount of any accumulated interest first. (Note that VAT is not payable on the interest.)
3.8 Please be aware that under the terms of the Late Payment of Commercial Debts (Interest) Act 1998, we are entitled to levy interest and a late payment compensation fee on overdue debts. Interest charges are detailed above.
3.9 Ionaca will make use of approved alternatives to court to recover unpaid debts.
3.10 As a last resort, Ionaca will use the full extent of English law to recover any unpaid debt plus interest plus all costs incurred in the recovery of the debt including but not limited to the Small Claims Court procedures.
3.11 Late or non-payment may result in the suspension or discontinuation of further supply of goods. |
