We know that terms and conditions can be tedious, boring things, but this is important information that protects both us and you, so it’s worth a read. If you have any questions or queries, please feel free to contact us and we’ll happily give you a hand.
Terms and Conditions:
1. This Agreement contains the terms and conditions that apply to purchases of graphic design, promotional products, printing/labels/tickets/packaging or any other product (‘the Goods’) by you (“Customer”) from Shields / Loukas Shields (“Loukas Shields”).
2. On receipt of an order from the Customer for the Goods as described on the Order/Invoice/Order Acknowledgement, the Customer agrees to be bound by and accepts these terms and conditions. The Customer also hereby acknowledges that these same terms and conditions have been communicated to it by way of an earlier notice prior to the Customer’s order.
3. These terms and conditions apply unless the Customer has signed a separate purchase agreement with Shields, in which case the separate agreement shall govern.
4. These terms and conditions are subject to change without prior written notice at any time, in Shields’ sole discretion. However, the Customer cannot make any variation to these terms and conditions without the written consent of Shields
5. This Agreement and any sales based on it shall be governed by the laws of Cyprus and England and Wales and the European Union and the parties agree to submit all disputes to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the Courts of Cyprus and England and Wales and the European Union
7. Shields reserves their right to title and property of the goods, until the goods are fully paid for.
8. Subject to status, Shields may agree to hold stock for an agreed underwritten period. At the end of that period, the Customer is liable to pay for the stocks in full, unless specifically agreed otherwise with Shields.
9. Shields endeavours to provide the highest quality Goods and the quickest possible lead times. Where there is a clear defect with the Goods supplied as against artwork or sample approved by the Customer, Shields will offer to remake the Goods free of charge or to apply an agreed discount if the Goods are utilised.

The Customer agrees that Shields and its agents shall have no responsibility or liability for: (i) any injury or damages, whether caused by the negligence of Shields, its employees, subcontractors, agents, suppliers or otherwise arising in connection with the Goods and shall not be liable for any lost profits, losses, punitive, incidental or consequential damages or any claim against the Customer by any other party.
11. The extent of Shields liability is solely to the value of the Goods supplied. Shields does not accept any liability for costs involved in using incorrect Goods and other consequential losses.
12. Under no circumstances, including but not limited to negligence, shall Shields, its suppliers and its third-party agents be liable to the Customer for direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, special, punitive or exemplary damages even if Shields has been advised specifically of the possibility of such damages, arising from use of the Goods, such as, but not limited to, loss of revenue or anticipated profits or lost business.

14. Shields strongly recommends, where possible, sampling of the Goods or the provision of artwork proofs prior to production. Shields guarantees matching to approved samples. In the event that there is a failure to match Shields undertakes to provide reasonable discounts or to remake the Goods free of charge.

Shields accepts no liability for any error not corrected by the Customer when proofs are submitted.
15. Shields shall use its best endeavours to meet lead times which are agreed. However, where delays arise especially due, but not limited, to machinery failures, Shields will inform the Customer of such delays as expeditiously as possible.

However, the Customer has the right to cancel the order for delay and Shields would offer reasonable discounts where appropriate depending on costs as arisen up to the point of cancellation.
16. The Customer’s use of Brand Names in breach of the intellectual property rights of third parties is the sole responsibility of the Customer. Shields accepts no liability whatsoever in this regard.
