PAYMENTS, SHIPPING AND ESTIMATES
All prices for our products listed on our Website include GST for Australian customers. International customers are exempt from GST.
All projects will only be printed on proof of receipt of a 100% payment and the monies cleared. Payments can be made by using credit card or Paypal. Wallpaper and large decal printing will not proceed until final client approval has been sent via email. Stories for Walls does not accept any responsibility for project delays due to late payments, late sign offs, technical difficulties outside of our control or incorrectly prepared wall surfaces. Please refer to our Wall Preparation page for full requirements. Our prices are based on the cost of materials and production costs at the time the estimate was created. Our estimates are valid for 14 days from date of estimate.
Customers have the obligation to notify inaccuracies in their payment details immediately after discovery.
We try and ensure that all details, descriptions and prices, which appear on our Website, are accurate. Nonetheless, errors may occur. If we discover an error in the price of any product that the customer has ordered we will inform him or her of this as soon as possible and give the customer the option of reconfirming the order at the correct price or cancelling it.
As the shipping recipient, you are liable for all import duties, customs and local sales taxes levied by your country.
WALL MEASUREMENTS
Stories for Walls assumes that the customer has measured their wall according to our measurement guidelines. Any measurements given to Stories for Walls by the customer are solely the responsibility of the customer and should be checked again against our quote and invoice. Stories for Walls will not be held responsible for either incorrect sizes and measurements given by the customer, or for incorrect sizes accidentally provided by Stories for Walls and approved by the customer during the invoice process.
As a general rule, all walls are skew and not completely flat. For any measurements given to Stories for Walls by the client, we will need to add an extra 10cm onto each provided dimension as bleed/buffer. This buffer will accommodate any measuring inaccuracies or wall level imperfections and ensure your wallpaper is not cut too short.
CHECK THAT THE INFORMATION IS CORRECT
It is the full responsibility of the client to check information against the quote and final invoice. All measurements and details must be checked again before proceeding to payment. Payment of our invoice acts as an approval of all provided measurements. Once payment has been made, if any measurements outlined in the invoice are incorrect, Stories for Walls will not be held responsible.
SAMPLES
The wallpaper imagery and room settings on our site are for visual purposes only. Products may vary from the images on screen. A digital preview is never realistic enough in terms of colour and contrast. Whatever is printed out can never be expected to be the same as that seen on a computer monitor. Even an enlarged version of the same image will also differ from the digital preview. Our wallpapers are also printed on 2 different materials and each material produces a slightly different colour variation.
As such we recommend ordering samples and the responsibility for this falls upon the client who must request a sample print before proceeding with their full wallpaper. Stories for Walls does not accept any liability for colour discrepancies for any wallpaper orders that were not initiated with a sample print. To see costings for sample prints please click here.
