These Terms and Conditions govern the provision of any product or service from Style By Design.
These Terms & Conditions are applicable to any booking. A booking is confirmed and a contract is undertaken as soon as we begin work on a style plan.
A non-refundable desposit is
If an order is cancelled the initial 50% is non refundable plus a further 25% of any additional monies paid to cover any work already completed at the time of cancellation. Once your order has been sent to print then no monies will be refunded. You can either decide to receive your stationery as per your order or we will recycle what has been printed.
These terms are still relevant if Knots & Kisses have to cancel an order because the client has not met deadlines agreed and set at the time of booking. In the course of a booking Knots & Kisses may set a date by which we need to receive all wording / guest names or any other information by in order to proceed with the booking or get the order to you by a certain date. If these deadlines are not met and it is not possible to move your booking to another date then Knots & Kisses has the right to cancel the booking and retain 75% of any monies paid, as per normal cancellation policy, to cover any work completed at the time of cancellation, any materials already ordered and loss of earnings due to being unable to take on another order during the time period scheduled to make your order.
Postal delivery charges are non refundable.
Proofs are produced for the client to check the layouts, design and wording etc prior to printing. Including in the cost of your stationery is up to 4 sets of proofs, so please make sure you group any changes you wish to make into as few instances as possible. We find that 4 sets of proofs is usually more than adequate, however, if you do go over this number, then you will be charged an additional £15 per set of proofs.
Knots & Kisses cannot be held responsible for any typing or image errors noticed after the proofs have been checked and client approval given. Any amendments required must be submitted via email . Proofs will be in PDF format.
Any amendments made after final approval and printing will be charged accordingly.
If you are having pre-printed guest names you will not receive a proof of each individually named invitation, therefore please check any guest name list you provide to Knots & Kisses carefully before sending as guest names will be copied directly from this list. Knots & Kisses cannot be held responsible for the mis-spelling of any Guest’s name. If an error has been made on your part and you realise once you have received your stationery and would like any reprints then please be aware that, although we will make every effort to reprint for you at the same cost as your initial stationery that, depending on quantities this may not be possible and we may have to charge more per invitation for reprints. Stationery with foil details cannot be reprinted for quantities of less than 60 items due to the set up costs of the foil process even if the names that need changing are not in foil. If the stationery which needs reprinting has foil details anywhere on it then it cannot be reprinted unless the error was due to a mistake on Knots & Kisses part.
As some of our stationery is embellished and hand finished you may need to use more than one first class stamp when posting your stationery. We advise you check the royal mail website to confirm the postage you require before posting to your guests. Knots & Kisses cannot be held liable for any costs incurred through errors in postage of your stationery. Knots & Kisses cannot be held liable for any damage occurred during transit of your stationery. We will always do our utmost to ensure items are packaged securely, however if there is a problem please let us know immediately as all parcels are insured and we may be able to claim a refund. No claim can be made however without first having the items returned to us. We are reliant on Royal Mail’s and our couriers policies for missing parcels and may therefore need 15 days, as per Royal Mail’s & other couriers T’s & C’s in order for you to make a claim for any missing parcel.
Orders are subject to availability of materials. In the event of supply difficulties Knots & Kisses will inform you immediately to discuss alternative materials or designs. For orders that are printed in separate batches or split over a time period, there is always a possibility of colour variation or print discrepancy. This is due to items being printed using different equipment or ink batches. Whilst we would always endeavour to get an exact colour match, please be aware that there is a possibility that items may not be identical in respect of colour and print quality. This also applies to differences between samples and final printed items. Please note that as Table Plans and Guest Books are printed on to a different material to other stationery then slight colour discrepancies are likely. Payment for colour discrepancies WILL NOT BE REFUNDED. We would always advise ordering a few blank invitations when ordering so you do not need to order further invitations in a different print batch at a later date. The silk ribbons in our luxe ranges are hand-painted by our supplier – whilst every effort is made to get each order of silk ribbon the same shade, clients must be aware that one batch of silk fabric may ‘take’ exactly the same paint shade in a different way to another batch and so colour variations are a natural part of this process and ultimately what gives it such a beautiful finish.
All prices are subject to change without notice. Once your order has been confirmed and you have checked out, however, the prices are secure.
Please read through the delivery section of our website for estimated delivery times.
Knots & Kisses do however reserve the right to refuse any order or arrange rescheduling with you if, during exceptionally busy periods, we are unable to take on any further orders. You will of course receive a full refund in these instances.
Additional items, such as table plans and other reception stationery will be delivered at least 2 weeks prior to your wedding date, provided we have received all the information we need from you on time.
If you are ordering bespoke stationery the timescale may be larger, you will be advised when you order as to what the delivery schedule is likely to be. If you require a shorter delivery time, do let us know and we will try our best to meet your deadline. In very urgent cases we can offer an express service. This will, however, incur an additional cost of £100.

STYLING SERVICE
1. As part of our styling packages and services we will undertake to hire in items from our trusted suppliers to use to style your wedding. By agreeing to our terms and conditions you are also agreeing to the terms and conditions of those companies for their hire items. Copies of those terms and conditions can be provided upon request.
2. The loss or damage to any goods which have been hired directly from Knots & Kisses or from our hire partners will be charged at full replacement value. You will be invoiced for any damages once these have been established after the wedding and invoices for damages will need to be paid within 14 days. If the invoice is not paid within 14 days then you will be liable for a daily fee of 10% of the cost of the goods per day subsequent to the 14 days to cover any loss of income from not being able to hire the item out again or style with those goods at another wedding or event.
3. We will always endeavour to provide our styling services and deliver items and set up to the timeline which has been agreed upon by both Knots & Kisses and the client in advance of the wedding during the consultation process. However, if we are unable to access the venue for some reason or other parties or the client delays the process in any way then this schedule may change. We will always try our best to have everything styled by the time agreed but cannot account for circumstances outside of our control.
4. Once your bespoke styling consultation and initial venue visit has taken place you will be sent a final quote for your booking and an invoice for a further 50% of the total remaining. This 50% deposit is non-refundable. Once receiving the deposit Knots & Kisses will block out the required time in their diary and not take any further bookings or enquiries for this time. Knots & Kisses will then also at this point contact our hire partners to book in any hire items which have been agreed upon and pay all of the required deposits for these items as well. Therefore, any cancellation of the booking will forfeit the deposit to cover hire deposits and loss of earnings.
5. The balance on your styling and design invoice will be due 6 weeks prior to the event. Any cancellations must be made in writing 6 weeks prior to the event. Any cancellation within this 6 weeks or failure to advise of cancellation will result in the full payment being required.
