Terms & Conditions

Welcome to DissertationBinding.co.uk. By using our website and services, you agree to abide by the terms and conditions outlined below. These terms aim to provide clarity and transparency, ensuring a smooth experience for all our customers.

1. Use of Our Services

Our services are tailored for students, professionals, and institutions seeking high-quality dissertation binding, printing, and associated academic support. By accessing our services, you agree to use them solely for lawful academic or professional purposes.

We prohibit the submission of any material that infringes upon copyrights, violates intellectual property rights, or contravenes applicable laws. Customers are responsible for ensuring the originality of the content they provide and for obtaining any necessary permissions for its use.

By placing an order, you confirm that you are either the rightful owner of the materials or have secured proper authorisation to use them. Any misuse of our services, including fraudulent activities or misrepresentation, will result in the immediate termination of the service without a refund.

2. Order Placement and Payment

Placing an order through our website is simple, but we require accurate and complete information to process your request efficiently. Orders are deemed confirmed only upon successful receipt of payment, and the processing timeline begins immediately after confirmation.

We use secure third-party payment gateways to ensure the safety and confidentiality of your payment information. Accepted payment methods include major credit cards, debit cards, and other online payment options listed on our website.

Once your order is placed, you have a 12-hour window to request changes to your specifications or to cancel the order. Modifications beyond this timeframe may incur additional charges depending on the extent of the adjustments requested. We reserve the right to decline orders that lack clarity in instructions or violate our usage policies.

3. Revision Policy

We are committed to delivering work that meets your expectations. If the final product deviates from the specifications outlined in your order, you may request a revision. Our revision policy is as follows:

Eligibility: Revision requests must be submitted within 7 days of receiving your completed order. Requests outside this timeframe may not be honoured.
Scope: Revisions are limited to addressing errors or discrepancies between the delivered product and the original order specifications. Substantial changes or new requirements will be considered a new order and billed accordingly.
Process: All revision requests should be submitted via email or through your account dashboard, detailing the exact areas that require correction. We aim to address revisions promptly, ensuring customer satisfaction.

Please note that revisions are offered as a service to perfect the initial order; they are not a replacement for a lack of clarity in original instructions. Excessive or unreasonable revision requests may result in additional charges.

4. Refund Policy

Our refund policy is designed to provide fair resolution in cases where our services fail to meet reasonable expectations. Refund claims are assessed on a case-by-case basis under the following terms:

Eligibility to Claim a Refund:
- Orders that have not been started due to delays or errors on our part.
- Significant quality issues in binding, printing, or other services that cannot be rectified through revisions.
- Orders canceled within 12 hours of placement, provided work has not commenced.
Non-Eligibility to Claim a Refund:
- Orders completed as per the provided instructions but later deemed unsuitable due to personal preferences.
- Delays or issues caused by incomplete or incorrect information supplied by the customer.
- Custom orders requiring unique materials or designs that are non-reusable.
- Physical damage to the product after delivery due to improper handling.

Refund requests must be submitted within 14 days of receiving the order, accompanied by sufficient evidence to support your claim (e.g., photos of defects). Approved refunds will be processed promptly, and the amount will be credited using the original payment method. However, processing times may vary depending on the payment provider.
