Our Christmas products are produced using industry recognised short-term removable materials, but whilst they are designed not to cause any damage Canvas Wall Prints & Crafts offers no guarantees that damage will not occur. Our Christmas products arrive with a small test sample that must be tested on your surface and removed after 7days to check the surface’s suitability. However, Canvas Wall Prints & Crafts does not accept responsibility for any damage and our products are used at your own risk, please see our returns and refund policy for more information.
When removing your Christmas wall or window sticker we recommend the use of a hairdryer at a distance on a low to medium setting to warm the adhesive to ease the graphics from your window or wall.
16. FLOOR GRAPHICS
Whilst we use industry recognised floor graphic materials that are specifically designed for the purpose, Canvas Wall Prints & Crafts accepts no liability for trips, slips and falls that occur as a result of their use. It is the consumer’s sole responsibility to account for all graphics, specifically floor stickers, in health and safety risk assessments. Customers are also responsible for monitoring the health of the graphics after they have been applied to take all steps to ensure safety remains paramount.
17. WINDOW GRAPHICS
All customers ordering manifestation or graphics for glass or windows are solely responsible for ensuring that the designs and their install meet all requirements and standards. All customers remain fully responsible for ensuring compliance even when the product is designed or commissioned by Canvas Wall Prints & Crafts Ltd. Canvas Wall Prints & Crafts Ltd accepts no responsibility for failure to comply with any requirements or standards and will not be a liability for any claim made as a result of damage, accident or injury.
18. INSTALLATION: SELF INSTALLATION / THIRD PARTY
Canvas Wall Prints & Crafts accepts no liability for damage caused by the installation by self-installation or by any third party not authorised by Canvas Wall Prints & Crafts including but not limited to painters and decorators, other graphics installers and self-application. Self-application is defined as an installation by anyone associated with the end user and/or purchase agent who is not a professional authorised by Canvas Wall Prints & Crafts Ltd. Third-party installation should not be booked before the products supplied by Canvas Wall Prints & Crafts are delivered and checked thoroughly by the purchaser. Canvas Wall Prints & Crafts is not labile to pay any fees associated with a third party installer if the graphics are delivered later than estimated or in some way faulty.
Upon receiving delivery of any Canvas Wall Prints & Crafts product it is recommended that you arrange to install at the earliest opportunity. Failure to do so may result in the adhesive losing its strength, which will reduce the life of the product and/ or cause it to peel.
If the installation isn’t able to occur immediately, it is recommended that you remove the product from its box or tube and store it flat to stop the material gaining a permanent curve. Once stored as described we would recommend that it is installed within 6 months. If the installation occurs later than this recommendation or the product is not stored as described above, Canvas Wall Prints Vinyl & Crafts will not be responsible for any adhesion issues that may occur.
19. REMOVAL AND DERIG
Canvas Wall Prints & Crafts is not responsible for any damage caused to any surface during the removal of any graphic even with when using our derig service. However, Canvas Wall Prints & Crafts will accept responsibility and liability in a situation where the incorrect material (this does not cover incorrect colours of the same material type) was supplied or damage was caused by the error of the install team. Please note Canvas Wall Prints& Crafts holds the sole right to decide if the damage was caused by error and will investigate the circumstances in order to decide. Please note this decision is final and cannot be appealed.
All wall graphics designs performed by anyone other than an authorised agent of Canvas Wall Prints & Crafts’s should use a heat gun or hairdryer at a distance on a low or medium setting to soften the adhesive to aid removal. When the adhesive is warm begin to peel a corner of the graphic back and peel the sticker against itself to reduce the likelihood of damage occurring.
Please note that any heat used should not be so great as to cause the material to singe or burn and if this happens you should stop immediately, place a damp cloth on the singed area and ventilate the room.
Please note, when using Canvas Wall Prints & Crafts for the de-rig of installed graphics at an event/venue, time must be agreed between the client and Canvas Wall Prints & Crafts from which de-rig can commence. Any delays will incur additional charges. You will be given a 10 minute grace period, however, anything more than this will be charged at £500 per hour there on. Please note in some instances, due to health and safety reasons, the venue/event space must be cleared of all non-essential persons in order to allow for the installers to use any necessary equipment.
20. ARTWORK
Vector artwork must be submitted in an original file, which must be saved as a .ai, .eps or .pdf file. All files need to be submitted ready to print unless an artwork service is included in the order or otherwise stated. Any amendments needed beyond that which is normally expected will be chargeable at £50 per hour per artwork.
All images for wall murals must be submitted as high-resolution jpeg or tiff files (at least 150dpi at 100% or 300dpi at 50%). Whilst Canvas Wall Prints & Crafts will endeavour to advise on the most suitable images for the purpose, however, all images will lose a degree of quality when scaled up to the size of a wall. Canvas Wall Prints & Crafts will print a sample for all custom wall murals as standard to check the quality. In instances where quality falls below the expected standard at a viewing distance of a meter, Canvas Wall Prints & Crafts will send the customer the printed sample to decide if they wish to proceed with the selected image.
If deadlines of artwork submission are communicated, the purchaser and all agents associated with them must adhere to the timeline. If this timeline is negatively altered due to missing submissions, Canvas Wall Prints & Crafts holds the right to change the delivery date or delay or cancel the installation, irrespective of the graphics purpose including if they are needed for specific date or event.
