• Contain artifacts, distortions, or quality issues
• Not exactly match your prompt or expectations
• Vary in style, quality, and interpretation between generations

Important: You are solely responsible for reviewing all AI-generated content before ordering prints. We do not guarantee that generated content will be suitable for your intended purpose or meet your expectations.

6.3 Your Input Responsibilities

You represent and warrant that:

• You have the right to submit all prompts and content you provide

We reserve the right to update our AI technology to improve quality, performance, or maintain service availability.

7. Pricing and Payments

7.1 Pricing Structure

Prices are listed and charged in British Pounds (GBP). Customers in supported countries may see equivalent amounts in their local currency at checkout (for example, US customers will see prices in USD on the Stripe checkout page; conversion is performed by Stripe at its prevailing rate). Pricing varies by:

• Shipping country: United Kingdom and the United States
• Shipping location: UK and US addresses. Shipping costs are calculated at checkout based on your address and shown before payment.
• Product type: Unframed poster or framed poster
• Assembly: Ready-to-hang or not-assembled

Current pricing is displayed on our website and at checkout. Prices vary based on the factors listed above. The final price shown at checkout is the amount you will be charged.

7.2 Payment Processing

Payments are processed securely through Stripe Checkout. We accept:

• Credit cards (Visa, Mastercard, American Express)
• Debit cards
• Other payment methods supported by Stripe in your region

Your payment information is processed directly by Stripe and never stored on our servers. By making a purchase, you agree to Stripe's terms of service.

7.3 Price Changes

We reserve the right to change our pricing at any time. Price changes will not affect orders already placed. The price shown at checkout is the final price you will pay.

7.4 Taxes and Duties

All prices include applicable taxes where required by law. The final price shown at checkout is the amount you will be charged.

United Kingdom: Prices are inclusive of UK VAT where applicable. No import duties or customs fees apply.

United States: US state or local sales tax may apply based on your shipping address, where Stripe Tax determines it is due. For physical posters, sales tax - where applicable - is added on top of the displayed price at checkout, in line with US e-commerce convention. For AI credit packs, the displayed price is inclusive of any applicable sales tax. US poster orders are printed and shipped from within the United States, so no import duties apply.

8. Orders and Fulfillment

8.1 Order Processing

A binding contract is formed when we accept your payment and send you an order confirmation email.

Even after the contract is formed, we reserve the right to cancel your order and refund you in full before dispatch if:

• Your prompt or content violates section 5 (Acceptable Use)
• Our print partner is unable to produce or ship your order
• The order was placed at a price we can show was a clear error (for example, a mis-listed price)
• We reasonably suspect the order is fraudulent
• We are required to do so by law

If we cancel an order under this section, we will refund the full amount paid and notify you by email. We will not be liable for any further losses beyond the refund.

Once we have dispatched your order:

• Your poster is printed at a facility nearest to your shipping address
• You will receive shipping updates via email

8.2 Delivery Times

Estimated delivery times (from order placement):

• United Kingdom: 3-4 business days
• United States: 5-10 business days

These are estimates only. Actual delivery times may vary due to production schedules, shipping carrier delays, customs processing, or other factors beyond our control.

8.3 Shipping Restrictions

We currently ship to addresses in the United Kingdom and the United States. Current restrictions:

• United Kingdom: residential and business addresses only. P.O. boxes and BFPO addresses are not supported.
• United States: residential and business addresses in the 50 states and the District of Columbia. We also ship to U.S. P.O. boxes and APO (Army Post Office) addresses, but our standard delivery estimate and any delivery guarantee do not apply to these address types and delivery may take longer. Delivery to Alaska and Hawaii may take longer than standard. Shipping to FPO/DPO addresses and U.S. territories (such as Puerto Rico, Guam, U.S. Virgin Islands, American Samoa, and the Northern Mariana Islands) may not be available for all orders — if your address falls in one of these categories and we are unable to fulfil, we will contact you and refund the order in full.

Delivery times to remote addresses may be longer than standard shipping due to carrier transit times. We plan to expand to additional countries in the future.

8.4 Shipping Address

You are responsible for providing an accurate and complete shipping address. We are not responsible for orders shipped to incorrect addresses provided by you. Address changes after order submission may not be possible.

9. Intellectual Property

9.1 Your Generated Content

You own all rights to the AI-generated images created through your account. You may use them for any lawful commercial or personal purpose without restriction.

9.2 Our Platform

GenPrinting retains all rights to:

• The GenPrinting platform, website, and applications
• Our branding, logos, and trademarks
• Our source code and proprietary technology
• Our user interface and design

9.3 License to Us

By using the Service, you grant GenPrinting a limited, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to:

• Store and process your prompts and generated images
• Display your generated images in your account
• Transmit images to our print partner for order fulfillment
• Use anonymous, aggregated data to improve our service

We will never use your content for marketing purposes or share it publicly without your explicit consent.

9.4 Third-Party Rights

The AI models we use (via fal.ai) may have their own terms regarding generated content. By using GenPrinting, you also agree to comply with:

• fal.ai Terms of Service
• Stripe Terms of Service
• Gelato Terms of Service

10. Refunds and Returns

10.1 Your Cancellation Rights (UK Consumers)

14-Day Cooling-Off Period: If you are a consumer in the UK, you have the right to cancel your order within 14 days of receiving your print, for any reason, under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013.

Custom Products Exception: However, personalised or custom-made goods are exempt from the 14-day cancellation right under UK law. Because your poster is made-to-order based on your specific AI-generated design, it qualifies as a custom product and is therefore exempt from the standard cancellation right.

Cancellation before production: You may cancel your order within 24 hours of placing it, provided production has not yet begun. Contact us immediately at support@genprinting.com.

10.2 No General Refunds

Due to the custom, made-to-order nature of our products, we do not offer refunds for:

• Change of mind after production begins
• Dissatisfaction with AI-generated design
• Colour or style differences between on-screen previews and the printed product
• Personal preference or expectations

Important: Please carefully review your AI-generated image before ordering. Once payment is processed and production begins, the order cannot be cancelled.

10.3 Quality Issues

We stand behind the quality of our prints. We will provide a replacement at no cost if:

• Damaged in transit: Print arrives torn, creased, or damaged
• Printing defects: Significant color banding, streaks, or printing errors
• Wrong product: Incorrect size, frame, or item shipped
• Manufacturing defects: Issues with frame assembly or materials

10.4 Reporting Issues

To report a quality issue:

• Contact us within 14 days of delivery
• Email support@genprinting.com with your order number
• Provide clear photos of the issue
• Describe the problem in detail

We will review your claim and, if approved, send a replacement at no charge. Approved claims typically receive a replacement within 1-2 weeks.

10.5 Lost Packages

If your order shows as delivered but you did not receive it:

• Check with neighbors and household members
• Verify the shipping address on your order
• Contact us within 14 days of the delivery date
• We will investigate with the shipping carrier

10.6 AI Credit Top-Ups (Digital Purchases)

Purchases of AI credit packs add generation credits to your account.

Top-ups are final once credits are added, except where the law requires a refund or we agree in limited cases (for example duplicate charges or billing errors). We do not refund top-ups because you changed your mind or were unhappy with AI output - see section 6.2 .

If we refund a top-up payment through Stripe, we remove the matching credits from your wallet (up to the amount originally granted for that purchase) so your balance matches the refund. AI credits are digital content under the UK Consumer Rights Act 2015. Your statutory rights to digital content that is of satisfactory quality, fit for purpose, and as described are unaffected by anything in this section. Questions: support@genprinting.com.

11. Disclaimer of Warranties

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ACCURACY OF AI-GENERATED CONTENT, OR UNINTERRUPTED AVAILABILITY. THIRD-PARTY SERVICES (INCLUDING AI PROVIDERS AND FULFILLMENT PARTNERS) ARE SUBJECT TO THEIR OWN TERMS AND WE MAKE NO WARRANTIES REGARDING THEIR PERFORMANCE.

Nothing in this section affects your statutory rights under the UK Consumer Rights Act 2015.

12. Limitation of Liability

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, breach of your statutory rights under the UK Consumer Rights Act 2015, or any liability that cannot be excluded under applicable law.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, GENPRINTING SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUES, DATA, USE, GOODWILL, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE. Our total liability for all claims arising from or related to the Service shall not exceed the amount you paid us in the three (3) months preceding the claim, or £100, whichever is greater.

13. Indemnification

To the extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to indemnify and hold harmless GenPrinting, its officers, directors, employees, and agents from and against any third-party claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses, including reasonable legal fees, arising out of or in any way connected with:

• Your breach of these Terms
• Your violation of any third-party rights, including intellectual property rights
• Content you generate or prompts you submit that violate applicable laws or third-party rights
• Your violation of applicable laws or regulations in your use of the Service
• Your willful misconduct or negligence

This indemnification does not apply to claims arising from our negligence, breach of these Terms, or violation of applicable law. For individual consumers, this indemnification is limited to the extent permitted under applicable consumer protection laws.

14. Termination

You may stop using the Service and request account deletion at any time by contacting us at support@genprinting.com.

We may suspend or terminate your access immediately if you violate these Terms, engage in fraudulent or illegal activity, or if required by law. If we discontinue the Service entirely, we will provide reasonable notice to allow you to download your content.

Upon termination, your right to use the Service ceases but outstanding orders will still be fulfilled. We retain transaction records for legal and accounting purposes as described in our Privacy Policy.

15. How to Complain

If you are unhappy with any aspect of our service or products, we want to hear from you and resolve the issue as quickly as possible.

1. Contact us at support@genprinting.com with your order number, a description of the issue, and any supporting photos.
2. We will acknowledge your complaint within 2 working days.
3. We aim to resolve all complaints within 14 days of receiving them. If we need more time, we will let you know and explain why.
4. If you are not satisfied with our response, you may seek advice from Citizens Advice (citizensadvice.org.uk) or pursue the matter through the courts.

16. Governing Law and Disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales. Nothing in these Terms affects your mandatory statutory rights under UK consumer protection law.

If you are a consumer residing outside the United Kingdom (including in the United States or the European Union), nothing in these Terms affects your mandatory statutory rights under the consumer protection laws of your country of residence. Where there is a conflict between these Terms and mandatory consumer protection laws, those laws will prevail.

If you are a consumer, you may bring legal proceedings in either the courts of England and Wales or the courts of your country of residence. We may only bring proceedings against you in the courts of your country of residence. All other disputes shall be resolved in the courts of England and Wales.

Before filing any legal claim, we encourage you to contact us at support@genprinting.com to attempt to resolve the issue informally.

17. Changes to These Terms

We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time. When we make changes, we will:

• Update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page
• Post a notice on our website for significant changes

Changes become effective immediately upon posting unless otherwise specified. Your continued use of the Service after changes become effective constitutes acceptance of the modified Terms. If you do not agree to the changes, you must stop using the Service.

We recommend you review these Terms periodically for any updates.

18. Miscellaneous

These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and GenPrinting regarding the Service. If any provision is found to be unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in full effect. We shall not be liable for any delay or failure to perform resulting from causes outside our reasonable control, including natural disasters, pandemics, or failures of third-party services.
