  • User selects any file or image from the Website.
  • TCP provides an electronic proof of selected image.
  • User provides approval of electronic proof, if acceptable.
  • TCP applies an automated system of checking the selected and approved image for suitability to print taking into account such factors as file size, pixels and RGB.
  • If the automated message deems the selected image unsuitable for printing, the User may then select another image and the above steps in the process are repeated, or alternatively the User may at the User’s own risk authorise TCP to proceed with the initial selected file or image on the basis that TCP will accept no responsibility for the quality of the finished product.
  • Upon confirming acceptance of the Product by authorising TCP to proceed, the User proceeds to checkout and pays for the Product by credit card or Paypal. Members may then download the tax invoice/receipt from their account, or alternatively a tax invoice/receipt will be able to be downloaded by Users via the payment confirmation email upon payment to TCP.
  • TCP provides an alternative to online purchases in that purchases may also be made by email or by telephone. The process of direct purchases is the same as online purchases except that TCP and the User will communicate by email and/or telephone.

- Previews of files and images on the Website are either watermarked or are unwatermarked files and images of limited resolution.
- A low-quality image of low resolution may also appear of low quality and the colours may vary when enlarged.

10. THE AUSTRALIAN CONSUMER LAW (“ACL”) AND TCP RETURNS POLICY

10.1. The ACL implies into consumer contracts certain conditions and warranties that cannot be excluded. The ACL provides customers with some guarantees for the goods they buy, including that the goods will be of acceptable quality, meaning that they will be safe to use and are reasonably durable.

10.2. In the event of a breach of the conditions and warranties implied by the ACL which amounts to a “major” failure of the Product (as referred to by the ACL), then at the User’s election TCP will remedy the major failure by providing either a replacement Product (if possible) or a refund to the User.

10.3. In the event of a breach of the conditions and warranties implied by the ACL, which does not amount to a “major” failure of the Product, TCP may on its own election remedy the failure by providing with a replacement Product (if possible) or a refund to the User.

10.4. In addition to the conditions and warranties implied by the ACL, TCP will provide certain express warranties pursuant to clause 10.5 herein.

10.5. Subject to clause 10.3 and 10.4 herein, TCP will replace or refund the price of the Product to the extent required by the ACL if the Product the User receives does not match the sample chosen by the User, or if the Product is unfit for its stated or intended purpose, or if the Product is not of an acceptable quality as defined by the ACL, or if the Product is unsafe.

10.6. Any refunds by TCP will be paid by EFT or by cheque at the discretion of TCP.

10.7. The remedies referred to in this clause may only be obtained by the User in circumstances where the User has notified TCP within 7 days of delivery of the goods by email to TCP, and provides a copy of the Product and a description of the problem for evaluation and assessment by TCP. TCP may also require the physical return of a Product to it by the User before taking any action.

10.8. No replacement Products or refunds will be provided by TCP where the measurements supplied by the User are incorrect. Users must note that a small amount of shrinkage may occur and this must be allowed for by TCP by adding 10mm of extra material at joins which may then be trimmed from the Product when installing.

10.9. No replacement Products or refunds will be provided by TCP where the User elects to install or to have another party install the Products instead of TCP and where damage occurs during installation.

10.10. TCP does not provide any guarantee that any Product is suitable for any surface or that the Product will not cause any damage to the surface or be damaged during installation. The onus is completely and solely upon the User to test the sustainability of a Product on the chosen surface as all surfaces vary in sustainability.

10.11. TCP does not provide any guarantee regarding the life of the selected Product as this will be determined by location and type of surface upon which the Product is installed, with the exception of the guarantees and warranties require by the ACL.

10.12. In the circumstances where Users supply TCP with materials upon which the file or image is to be applied to manufacture the Product, TCP is not liable for any damage caused to the materials and will not replace the materials. However, TCP will attempt to reprint the file or image on further materials which are to be supplied by the User at the User’s expense.

10.13. Where the User elects to have the Product installed by anyone other than TCP, TCP will take no responsibility for the suitability of the surface for mounting or removing the Product, or for any damage caused to the Product or the surface during mounting or removing. It is the User’s responsibility to properly prepare the suitable surface prior to mounting the Product.

10.14. The removal of the Product from some surfaces may result in causing damage to the surface. Users are advised to sample test a section of the surface prior to final installation to ensure that the surface is suitable.
