A bit more detail on ordering
OK, sometimes there’s a bit more to it, so here are the main points that we think you should be aware of without having to trawl through all the legal stuff.
Your event CD must follow the following criteria.
-
It must only contain pictures of you / your vehicle / horse etc, taking part at the event. (You can’t book us to cover a club event, order one £35 CD, and then expect us at add all 50 people at the event when it costs us several hundred pounds to turn up)
-
It can contain pictures of your own vehicle / horse etc, taking part at the event, with some else at the controls. (If your mate borrows your bike for a quick blast, we are happy to add them for you)
-
It can contain pictures of other vehicles / horses etc, taking part at the event that you were driving or riding. (If you trash your bike and borrow your mates, it’s only fair that we add these to the disc for you)
-
It must only contain pictures from a single day at the event. (Each event has it’s own running costs that need to be covered so we can’t combine discs)
-
The CD production / Administration fee covers the time involved in readying each disc from each event. Where additional pictures are requested to be added to the disc, the fee charged at the point of sale is for the time involved in finding and readying those images. If the you request images that are not of the you or your vehicle to be added to the disc, the website is unaware of whether you are adding someone else or not, so at the our discretion, you may still be charged for the time taken searching and inspecting them, but they may not appear on your disc. To avoid disappointment, please be aware of this and make sure that all orders are placed within our terms and conditions.
Print sizes are approximate.
Each order is unique to you, so the orders won’t be produced or dispatched until the payment has been received.
Due to the nature of the digital image product, and the high risk of copyright theft, refunds will only be given if the product is faulty and we are unable to provide a replacement due to the loss of data.
