Terms & Conditions

These terms

These terms apply to every order placed with ThesisBinding.ie for the printing and binding of a thesis or dissertation. By placing an order you accept them. If you have a question before ordering, telephone us on +353 87 338 3310.

Placing an order

You configure your order on this website, upload your PDF and pay at checkout. A binding contract is formed when we confirm your order by email.

The page count is checked against the document you upload, and the higher of your figure and ours is charged, so a mis-counted total never leaves an order underpaid. If the difference is material we will contact you before printing.

Before you pay, you are responsible for checking the binding style, colour, quantities, delivery details and foil text on your cover and spine.

Prices and payment

Prices are shown in euro, or in pounds sterling when you switch currency, and include printing and binding. Delivery is added at checkout where applicable.

Payment is taken in full at checkout by card through Stripe. We never see or store your card details.

Your document

• You confirm that you own the rights to the document you upload, or have permission to have it printed and bound.
• Supply a single PDF, sized and laid out as you want it printed. We print the file exactly as supplied.
• We do not proofread, edit, resize or re-lay out your document, and we cannot check content, margins or missing pages on your behalf.

Turnaround and delivery

Standard turnaround is three to five working days from order confirmation. Any other date we quote is an estimate, not a guarantee.

Orders are delivered by post or courier, or collected where you have chosen collection. Risk in the goods passes to you on delivery or collection.

Thin spines

Where your page count is low, the spine may be too thin to carry foil text clearly. The configurator warns you before payment. We make the final production decision on whether spine text can be applied legibly, and where it cannot, we may reduce or omit spine text rather than produce an unreadable spine.

Cancellation and refunds

Every item is printed and bound to your specification, so the EU fourteen-day right of withdrawal does not apply to goods made to the consumer's own specification.

That does not affect your rights when something goes wrong. If your order is misprinted, incorrectly bound, damaged or short of what you ordered, telephone us within seven days of delivery and we will reprint it or refund it. Nothing in these terms limits your statutory rights under Irish consumer law.

Liability

We are responsible for loss you suffer that is a foreseeable result of our breaking these terms or failing to use reasonable care. Our liability for any order is limited to the amount you paid for that order.

We are not liable for losses that are not foreseeable, or for loss of marks, opportunity or reputation arising from a late or delayed delivery.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the law of Ireland, and the Irish courts have jurisdiction over any dispute.
