Print-on-demand products

Certain products available through the ISTD Shop are produced to order and fulfilled on our behalf by Teemill, our print-on-demand service provider.

When you purchase one of these products, your contract remains with ISTD Enterprises. Teemill produces, packages and dispatches the product on our behalf.

Print-on-demand products may be produced and dispatched separately from other products in your order and may therefore arrive at different times.

  • All prices are shown in pounds sterling (£)
  • Prices include VAT where applicable
  • Delivery charges are shown separately at checkout 
Payment must be made in full at the time of ordering. 

We accept payment by debit or credit card via Shopify’s secure payment system. We do not store your card details. 

Prices may change at any time, and we may modify or discontinue products or services without notice. 
 

5. Membership discounts 
ISTD Members may be entitled to a member discount. 

To receive a discount: 
  • You must be logged in, or use the relevant discount code where applicable

When you place an order:

  2. We must receive and process your payment before your order is accepted.
  3. We will send you confirmation of your order using the contact details you provide.
  4. We reserve the right to decline or cancel an order where there is a legitimate reason to do so, for example where a product is unavailable, there has been an obvious pricing or description error, or we reasonably suspect fraud or misuse.
  5. If we are unable to accept your order, make a material change to it, or need to cancel it, we will contact you using the details provided when you placed your order and will refund any payment due.

For physical products fulfilled directly by us:

  • We aim to dispatch items within 2 working days
  • Orders are usually sent via Royal Mail
  • Delivery times may vary, particularly for international orders

Some products are produced to order and fulfilled separately on our behalf by Teemill. These products may have different production and dispatch times from other ISTD Shop products.

If your order contains both print-on-demand products and other products, they may be dispatched separately and may arrive at different times.

Available delivery options, estimated delivery information and applicable delivery charges will be displayed at checkout.

For international orders, you may be responsible for any applicable customs duties, import taxes or other local charges.

Risk of loss or damage to physical products passes to you when the products are delivered to you.

10. Returns and refunds 

Physical products 

a { text-decoration: none; color: #464feb; } tr th, tr td { border: 1px solid #e6e6e6; } tr th { background-color: #f5f5f5; }

If you change your mind about an eligible physical product purchased online, you normally have the right to cancel your purchase within 14 days of receiving the goods. 

If you cancel, you must return the item to us in accordance with the instructions we provide. You may examine an item as you would reasonably be able to in a shop, but we may reduce a refund to reflect any reduction in value caused by handling beyond what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the item.

Unless the product is faulty, damaged, incorrect or not as described, you are responsible for the cost of returning it.

Please contact sales@istd.org before returning an item so that we can provide the appropriate returns instructions and address.

Refunds will be processed once the returned item has been received, or once you have provided evidence that it has been returned where applicable, in accordance with your statutory rights.

Returns should be sent (with proof of postage) to: 
ISTD 
c/o L&S Printing 

Refunds will be issued once the item is received and checked.

Print-on-demand products

Some products available through the ISTD Shop are produced to order on our behalf by Teemill.

For standard, non-personalised print-on-demand products, your normal statutory cancellation and return rights apply unless otherwise stated on the product page.

Where a product has been made to your specifications or clearly personalised for you, your statutory right to cancel may not apply.

This does not affect your rights where a product is faulty, damaged, incorrect, not as described or otherwise does not conform to the contract.

If you have a problem with a print-on-demand product, please contact sales@istd.org with your order number. As your contract is with ISTD Enterprises, we will be your point of contact for resolving the issue.


Digital products 
Digital products are non‑refundable, unless: 
  • The file is faulty or corrupt, and
  • The issue cannot be resolved by providing a replacement copy 
If you experience a problem, please contact sales@istd.org with your order number. 
 
11. Your right to cancel 
Under UK consumer law, you have a 14‑day cooling‑off period for most purchases. 

Please note: 
  • The right to cancel ends once a digital download has started
  • Physical items must be returned unopened 
This does not affect your statutory rights in relation to faulty goods. 
 

12. Limitation of liability 
We are responsible for supplying products as described. 
However, we are not liable for: 
  • Indirect or consequential losses
  • Loss of income, profit or data
  • Technical issues outside our control 
We reserve the right to correct any errors, inaccuracies or omissions relating to product descriptions, pricing, availability or delivery information, even after an order has been placed. 
 

13. Personal information

This may include your name, contact details, delivery address and details of the products ordered.
