2. Online Terms of Sale

 

​2.1 Preamble 

You are solely and fully responsible for your use of the service.

Sales under this website are dedicated to and strictly reserved for professional users. By using this website, any user represents and warrants that he/she is acting for professional use and purpose only and so waives any and all right attached to consumer protection in using this website. You accept that ARJOWIGGINS will not be liable in that respect. Legal action may be taken against you should you infringe or violate these general terms and conditions as a result of which ARJOWIGGINS suffers a loss, or an applicable law or regulation.

​2.2 Products

The images of the products (paper, envelopes, Paper Book etc.) displayed on the website serve an illustrative purpose only. ARJOWIGGINS attempts to be as accurate as possible in showing the colour and texture of its products; please note however that the actual colour and texture may vary from device to device. We would advise you to refer to the actual product before finalising your decision to use that paper.

​2.3 Ordering a sample

Users may order samples of paper and envelopes using the online sampling service. Users must be signed into their account to order samples. Paper book orders are processed separately from sample orders.

a. Samples order limit

Users can order up to 10 different product items per order, paper, boards and envelopes included. For each item, users can order a maximum of 6 samples of a same size. 

If a user places an order for 4 samples of one item, they will receive one labelled sample with all product details, in addition to 4 blank samples. This means the user will receive a total of 5 samples. The labelled sample is provided in addition to the samples ordered, and is therefore not included in the number of samples ordered per item.

b. Adding a sample to the basket

When adding a sample to the basket, users will be asked to choose the specific characteristics of the sample desired: paper weight, watermarked or non-watermarked, sample size or envelope size.

In some cases, ARJOWIGGINS is not able to supply product samples via the online sampling service. In such cases, a contact will be indicated on the website, for the user to request a sample.

c. Availability

In some cases and despite our best effort, some samples might run out of stock.

All products shown on the website are subject to availability. If the User orders a product which is not available at the time of order, the user will be contacted by phone or email as soon as possible. 

​2.4 Prices and shipping costs

The prices indicated on the website are stated in Euros. 

Prices are fixed and will not be subject to any discount, rebate or reduction. ARJOWIGGINS reserves the right to change prices at any time, and those displayed are valid on the order date only and may not apply in the future. 

ARJOWIGGINS sells its Paper Book at a fixed price including VAT and delivery price, regardless of delivery location. 

The prices for samples are inclusive of VAT but excluding shipping costs.  

ARJOWIGGINS charges a nominal shipping cost for each sample order. Shipping costs vary by country and are dependent upon the weight and size of the items you have ordered.  The cost is calculated at the checkout before the User completes their order. Users will be informed of the delivery charge prior to payment.

Standard deliveries include all countries covered by UPS (link to UPS delivery countries). If a User wished to order a sample to be delivered in a country which isn’t served by UPS, they should contact ARJOWIGGINS directly. 

For deliveries outside the EU’s customs territory, please be advised that customs duties and other taxes may apply. You are responsible for completing the relevant formalities and for paying the relevant duties and taxes, as ARJOWIGGINS is in no way responsible thereof.
