Terms & Conditions of Sale

and Privacy Policy

    1. Orders and subscriptions are only accepted subject to these Conditions of Sale.
    2. Once all copies of a facsimile edition have been completed, Facsimile Editions Limited (the Company) will make every effort to ensure that any proofing sheets no longer required and all printing plates used in the production of that edition will be destroyed in a respectful manner and in accordance with any religious requirements that might apply in respect of the original text (e.g. Halachic in the case of Hebrew texts), in order to preserve the significant investment value of each edition. Religious requirements in respect of other faiths’ disposal requirements will, where appropriate, be scrupulously observed.
    3. Each edition is strictly limited to the number of complete copies stated in its descriptive material or quotation and each set contains a uniquely numbered certificate of authenticity individually stamped by Facsimile Editions Ltd and, where possible, the seal of the issuing Library.
    4. Facsimiles may only be displayed publicly on the subscriber’s premises and may not be loaned, hired or otherwise offered to any third party for public display elsewhere without the prior written consent of Facsimile Editions Limited.
    5. If requested at the time of purchase Facsimile Editions Limited undertakes to supply a certificate of dedication to the original purchaser free of charge.
    6. Unless otherwise stated the full list price includes shipping and insurance to the point of delivery worldwide, but excludes any import or other taxes or duties that may be due in the purchaser’s country of delivery.
    7. Facsimile Editions Limited reserves the right to change production methods, materials, binding, binding leather, presentation and commentary volume authors from those specified in any quotation or accompanying descriptive material, without notice.
    8. The detailed complexities of facsimile production, in particular the production of specially commissioned editions (also known as Custom Projects), can make delays inevitable. While delays do occur, the Company will do its utmost to mitigate any delays while avoiding taking shortcuts which may have an impact on quality. The Company will not accept responsibility for any consequential losses resulting from any delays that may occur.
    9. Introductory commissions including any payments payable to third parties in respect of specially commissioned projects (also known as Custom Projects) will only be paid at the successful conclusion of the project and once payment in full for the project has been received by the Company. Requests for payment of commission or any other payment by third parties in anticipation of completion will not be accepted.
    10. Sales dispatched to customers outside the United Kingdom are made free of VAT (0.00% Value Added Tax).
    11. No VAT is currently chargeable (January 2023) on facsimiles which are zero rated (0.00%) for VAT purposes in the United Kingdom.
    12. VAT on single leaves is standard-rated (20%) for UK customers and zero-rated (0.00%) for all export sales.
    13. We guarantee to refund promptly and in full any payment in the event of over-subscription. This is the only circumstance in which payments will be refunded.
    14. In respect of faulty goods, the decision as to whether to repair, replace or refund will be at the Company’s sole discretion.
    15. Refunds will be made net of interest.
    16. Facsimile Editions Limited retains title in all goods, including Custom Projects until payment in full has been received.
    17. Damage in transit: In the extremely unlikely event that goods arrive in a damaged condition you must make a note on the carrier’s consignment note or digital device upon delivery. It will be your responsibility to inform Facsimile Editions Ltd of any damage within 48 hours of receipt. If possible, please take digital photographs of any damage in the presence of the carrier and email these images to us.
    18. Shortages: It is your responsibility to sign for the correct number of packages as shown on the carrier’s consignment note or digital device. Any shortages must be noted on the consignment note or digital device and notified to us within 48 hours of delivery.
    19. Incorrect Goods: It is your responsibility to notify us immediately of any goods incorrectly supplied within 48 hours of delivery.
    20. Non-Deliveries: In the case of a courier delivery the Company will not accept liability for goods lost in transit unless it is notified within 48 hours of the anticipated delivery date.
    21. Due to the inability to track postal shipments, Facsimile Editions Ltd does not accept any liability for goods lost in transit where the buyer has chosen to have them despatched by surface or airmail. Only courier shipments are insured against loss or damage to the point of delivery.
    22. This Contract shall be governed by the Laws of England and the parties agree to the exclusive jurisdiction of the English Courts.
    23. This Contract represents the full extent of any agreement between us and does not create third party rights.
