Due to the nature of the products that are sold, refunds for products that are already printed or in the printing process are not possible. Artwork or design refunds are also not possible as this is the labour fee we charge for the designers work and/or time.

EXISTING CUSTOMER ONGOING WORK PAYMENT TERMS
We usually take deposit for design work for new customers. For existing customers we are relaxed as we already have a business relationship with you. We do the work on the promise that we would get paid once design is approved for printing by customer. In such circumstances, when you changed your mind for printing but design has been done to your satisfaction, you have to pay for our design time at £35/hour rate.

Only in the case of such reprint being unsuitable will Menu Lane offer a partial or full refund. Menu Lane reserve the right to solely decide whether a product is of suitable quality. If any part of an order is used or distributed by the Customer, Menu Lane reserve the right to deem the order as acceptable and therefore no reprint or refund will be authorised.

Menu Lane will not accept any defect to an order if the artwork does not meet the Customer’s exact artwork specifications regarding colour mode, format size, colour saturation and bleed. It is the Customer’s responsibility to check these details before placing the order.
