Terms and Conditions
End User Terms & Conditions
Products purchased by you by your use of the PrintCloud Online Print & Ordering Service (the "Service") are sold to you by Benefitz DMA Ltd (referred to as "our", "us" and "we") and all services and communications referred to in these End User Terms and Conditions ("Terms") or provided to you as part of the Service, are provided by us or select third party partners (e.g. delivery/shipping providers). These Terms govern your use of the Service and your purchase of any Products from us.
Delivery & Returns
We will use reasonable commercial efforts to dispatch your Order to you within ten (10) business days from receipt of your Order and payment. Where you request for your Order to be delivered to a non metropolitan, rural or international address, your Order may take greater than ten (10) business days to be delivered.
We do not accept responsibility for any delays caused by any third party that we may engage to deliver the Products to you.
Where your Order is received by you damaged, you must immediately contact PrintCloud Customer Support and quote your Order number (as shown on your invoice). At our sole discretion, we may ask you to return the Product to us in its original packaging (if possible) together with a copy of your Order and we may require you to provide proof of your identity.
We will not be liable if the damage, defect or fault arose as a result of misuse, neglect or mishandling of the Product by you or if you made a wrong decision. If we determine, in our reasonable discretion, that any Product was not genuinely damaged on arrival or faulty in its manufacture, we will return the Product to you at your cost. We will otherwise, at our discretion, replace the Product or refund any monies paid by you to us.
Product Quality
To the extent permitted by law, your use of the Service to produce a Product suitable to your needs and quality expectations is at your own risk. You acknowledge that:
(a) a Product may require you to use creative and artistic skills and that the Product produced will be dependent on the quality of your creative and artistic skills, the quality, image size and photographic equipment used to create any Photos and Materials and your ability to use the Service to its full capacity;
(b) the colours, tones and borders in your Photos and Materials may be different from how they appear on your computer screen or in other digital or hard copy form;
(c) we will not modify, enhance and/or improve any Photos and Materials you provide to us prior to producing the Product. You warrant that you will not make any claim against us or our third party product suppliers if you are disappointed with the design or quality of the Product, where such quality or design is beyond our reasonable control, including as a result of a technical fault included in the Software.
Your Copyright & Infringements
Generally under copyright laws the owner of the copyright in images or photographs is the person who created the images or took the photographs. You represent and warrant to us that you are the owner of the copyright or have the express permission of the owner of the copyright in the images or photographs which you submit to the Service.
We respect the intellectual property rights of others. If we receive a complaint alleging that you have infringed copyright, we will refer the complaint to you for resolution. It will be your responsibility to resolve any such complaint. Should you not resolve the complaint satisfactorily and advise us, in writing, of the resolution within seven (7) days of the date we refer the complaint to you (the “Referral Date”), we reserve the right, in our absolute discretion, to suspend your membership until such time as the complaint is resolved. If you do not notify us within sixty (60) days of the Referral Date that the complaint has been satisfactorily resolved, we reserve the right, in our absolute discretion, to terminate your membership.
If any person makes any claim against us or our third party service suppliers, claiming that any of the Photos or Materials you submit to the Service, or any use of them, infringes any copyright, or other intellectual property or moral right of any person, company or entity, you indemnify us and our third party service providers against all costs, claims, loss, damage, demands and expenses (including all reasonable legal costs, fees and expenses) arising directly or indirectly out of such claim.

These Terms will be governed by the laws of New Zealand and you submit to the jurisdiction of the Courts of New Zealand.
