Quantities
The website shows the basic quantities in
which materials may be ordered. The smallest quantity shown
is the smallest quantity we are able to run – there is
no price difference in ordering a lower quantity. So don’t
ask us if you can have fewer than 5,000 Wallet Cards for example,
but if you want another variation that isn’t on the form
then it is worth asking and we’ll try to help.
Reports and tabloids are available in multiples
of 5,000. Please ask for prices.
Prices and VAT
Prices for different quantities of each
of the items are given on the order form. All prices are stated
excluding VAT. VAT on print can be confusing – if in
doubt ask.
Delivery
Delivery is charged additionally according to the quantities
ordered and the delivery requirements. You must state your
delivery address with your order – it needs to be somewhere
goods can be received during normal office hours so someone
has to be there. We cannot arrange specific times, but we
will call you to let you know when to expect delivery. Delivery
to the Commons is to Derby Gate – after that it is down
to you!
Post Office Delivery Services
We can make arrangements for delivery to the Royal Mail door
to door delivery service.
Invoicing and Payment
You will be invoiced at the House of Commons
address as soon as goods are printing. Some items may be claimed through the House of Commons Allowances. Public
Impact cannot be responsible for this as every MP must be
able to justify their own claims. Our payment terms are strictly
30 days from invoice.
Copyright
Designs within this scheme are copyright
of Public Impact Communications Limited. They are not licensed
for use outside this scheme. Printers or agencies using designs
without permission are guilty of a breach of copyright and
may be liable for legal action. Breach of copyright is theft.
Also, it is the responsibility of the MP’s office to
determine that they, as the publisher of the material, have
the right or have licence to reproduce photographic material.
How to Order
Ordering is easy – call us for an order
form on 0844 880 0028. All you have to do is tick the
items and quantities you wish to order. You can then return
the form in the post or by fax. Signing and submitting this
form to Public Impact commits you to proceed with the order
and books your place on the print run. We cannot accept cancellation
after this time as it jeopardises the print run for others.
Should you cancel or fail to meet the dates that we require
materials be delivered to Public Impact we have the right
to bill for full cost of work.
What Happens Next?
We contact you (that is the main contact
you give us – probably the MP’s secretary or researcher)
to confirm your order and make arrangements for local copy
of your materials. You return your copy and the MP’s
photo (if we don’t have one on file) whatever way you
choose and we get on with your order.
Proofs and Approval
We will normally send electronic proofs
by email but can send laser colour proofs in the post if you
prefer (£5 charge each proof). When the proof is correct
you will need to ‘sign off’ approval for each item
– we can’t print anything unless you do this.
Any errors contained in a proof signed off
by yourself or your office are your responsibility. Any changes
after the second proof are chargeable, and changes after sign
off are chargeable at full cost of implementation. Reprinting
after errors in signed off material is chargeable at full
cost of reprint.
Are the Designs Fixed?
Print services depend on people ordering
the standard format. The point is that these formats have
worked well for others and are easy for you to use. They are
designed by qualified professionals to be easy on the eye
and to reflect well on you as a professional, effective representative
providing a good service. Minor changes can be made –
but ask yourself if it is REALLY important. We reserve the
right to charge for changes, but we do try to accommodate
the important things.
All material requires an imprint.
Deadlines
Everybody involved in a print scheme like
this depends on everyone else meeting the scheme’s deadlines.
That is why the deadlines that are set will be vital to the
success of this project.
The reason is simple – prices in this scheme depend on
the economies of scale we can realise through printing many
orders at once, so it is important that we are able to send
jobs to print at the same time. We depend on ALL constituencies
operating to the deadlines that are set.
Questions
Ask us and we’ll try to help –
