  • uploading digital images to the OPC;
  • Storing digital images on the OPC;

1.3 These Terms do not affect any consumer rights which you may have under the provisions of any law or regulation in the country where you live ("Local Law"), except where those rights are capable of being waived by you under the provisions of your Local Law. You agree that, by you agreeing to these Terms with PNI, you waive any consumer rights you have which are capable of being waived under your Local Law and that these Terms are the only terms and conditions that apply between you and PNI in respect of your use of the OPC and the supply by PNI of your Prints.

2. TERMS OF PURCHASE OF PRINTS

2.1 By the display and description of this OPC, PNI does not agree to process your order and supply your Prints at the prices specified, or at all.

2.2 These Terms will not form a binding contract between you and PNI for the purchase and supply of the Prints until the following conditions have been met:

  • you have submitted your offer to buy certain Prints ('Order') using the order facility provided; and
  • PNI notifies you by e-mail that your Order for those Prints has been accepted and PNI agrees to supply the Prints to you.

2.3 PNI will not be responsible for any loss or damage, howsoever arising, as a result of a failure, refusal or inability by PNI to fulfil an Order.

2.4 In order to maximise the use of space on your website, all photos uploaded to the Digital Photo Centre are subject to compression. This is irreversible and may cause a small loss of quality when photographs are enlarged.

3. PRICE AND SPECIFICATION OF PRINTS

3.1 All prices quoted include UK value added tax (at the applicable rate from time to time), and if there is a separate postage and packaging charge this is listed with the price and specification of Prints. The total cost is the "Purchase Price". PNI shall not be liable for any other sales taxes, customs or import duties or other taxes which may be imposed on you by any relevant taxing authority. You are responsible for any such taxes.

3.2 All Purchase Prices and specifications of Prints are subject to change without notice to you, except where PNI has accepted your Order and agreed to deliver the Prints to you in accordance with Clause 2.2.

3.3 Any Purchase Price payable for use of the OPC must be paid in advance. The Purchase Price is paid by credit or debit card. We have the right to check with your card provider and any credit reference agency or bank to confirm whether or not you are able to pay the Purchase Price. We have the right to refuse your order at our discretion.

4.DELIVERY OF PRINTS

4.1 All Prints will be delivered to you at the address given by you during the checkout process, within 3 working days of your Order being accepted by PNI pursuant to Clause 2.2 above, unless an alternative timeframe is notified to you by PNI prior to the expiry of specified delivery period.
