Return Terms &
Instructions
For the sake of good order and so that we may process your request
efficiently, prior to returning any item(s) to UniversalPoster.com,
you must first contact our Customer Service Department to notify us
of the intended return. To request authorisation please send e-mail
to customerservice@UniversalPoster.com
with the following information:
- The order number, your surname and initial.
- The item code(s) for the item(s) you want to return.
- Please clearly outline the reason for the return, for example; damaged, incorrect poster or size, received duplicate item, quality of item not as anticipated.
- Specify what action you would like us to take for you: We offer either a free replacement or refund?
- Wait for our Customer Service team to e-mail you with your "Return Authorisation" instructions and the returns address which they will aim to do as quickly as possible.
Once we have received your returned item, we will notify you via e-mail of your refund. You can expect a refund in the same form of payment originally used for purchase within 14 business days of our receiving your return.
To return your item(s) please pack them in the original tube or box and include a printed copy of the Return Authorisation email we have sent you. Please ensure that the goods are sent back to UniversalPoster.com by 'signed for' delivery, as we cannot replace or refund without the goods having been received by us first. Unfortunately we cannot refund the cost of this return postage unless the goods we despatched to you were damaged, or incorrect, in which case we will agree an equitable maximum return postage payment with your Return Authorisation email.
If your return is not due to our error, i.e. if you simply changed your mind about the purchase, we will unfortunately need to deduct all shipping costs from your refund.
Good Lost in Transit and Risk
of Loss
All products purchased from us are made pursuant to a Royal Mail
'recorded' or 'signed' for postal delivery services, or in the case
of framed posters via a Businesspost shipment contract. The risk of
loss and title for such products pass to you upon our delivery to
the carrier. However in order to preserve good customer relations
and to maintain our 'Total Satisfaction Guarantee' we will wherever
possible replace lost goods without any further cost to you - the
customer. In order for us to complete our investigations into any
reported lost or damaged goods we do require 10 working days from
the order date, prior to replacement orders being authorised. In
the first instance please use the "Track and Trace' facilities"
available from the "Customer Support"
pages.

PRIVACY POLICY
UniversalPoster.com values our customers and when using our
website we know how important privacy is to you. Accordingly, we
have implemented this Privacy Policy to inform you of the
information that we collect from you, how we collect it, and what
we do with it.
By using this website you are accepting the practices described in this Privacy Policy.
How we collect 'personal'
information and what we do with it:
At UniversalPoster.com we are dedicated to protecting your privacy,
as such we only collect 'personal' information from you when you
provide it to us. For instance, if you purchase a product from us,
we collect your name, delivery address, telephone number, credit
card number and email address to help us process and keep you
informed of your order. All these details are protected by our
industry standard secure server, which encrypts all of your
personal information, including name, address and credit card
information, ensuring that nobody can access or use this personal
information.
We do agree to be bound by prevailing law concerning the use in any manner of confidential information supplied by you to us including credit card or bank details and any user name and/or password supplied by you to us and other details relating to your personal and financial circumstances.
We partner with one or more credit card processing companies to assist us in processing your payment. However, those companies do not retain, share, store, or use personally identifiable information for any secondary purposes.
We also use some basic personal information for our own internal purposes, such as production fulfilment using trusted contractual suppliers, providing customer support, or evaluating and improving the Services of the UniversalPoster.com website. We also use our customers' non-personal information to track their use of the Website and the Services and for other internal quality control purposes.
There are other areas of the site such as the customer service 'contact form', 'request a gift' and 'recommend to a friend' services which provide UniversalPoster.com with the opportunity to collect your name and email details for future UniversalPoster.com promotional and marketing purposes. However if you do not wish to be contacted by UniversalPoster.com with promotional offers and news, you need only ever tick the box to 'opt out' of this promotional mailing list.
We only offer these services with your
consent
If you have forgotten to 'opt out' or have been subscribed by
someone else on your behalf, or are no longer interested in
receiving e-mail announcements and other marketing information from
us and would like to be removed from the UniversalPoster.com
'promotional' database, simply contact customerservice@UniversalPoster.com
and request that you be unsubscribed. This process normally takes 1
to 2 working days from receipt of your request.
Non-Personal Information and
Cookies
We also collect 'non-personal' information from you, such as your
browser type, the URL of the previous web site you visited, your
ISP, operating system, and your IP address. 'Non-personal'
information cannot be easily used to personally identify you. We
may use your IP address to help diagnose problems with our server
and to administer our website. Your IP address also may be used to
gather broad demographic information and to recognize customer
traffic patterns and site usage. This information aids us in
merchandising and in developing the design and layout of the
site.
Additionally, like almost all e-commerce sites, we use 'cookies'. Cookies are bits of information that are stored on your computer by your web browser. Although our cookies don't store any of your personal information, they do allow us to do things like keep items in your shopping basket between visits or during the same visit or provide you with a more personal user experience. Whether you want your web browser to accept cookies or not is up to you. If you haven't changed your computer's settings, most likely your browser already accepts cookies.
We may collect and share non-personal information about the pages that you visit on the Website, but this information is not personally identifiable, and we may use selected third parties for marketing and analysis purposes.
For more information on cookies please visit http://www.allaboutcookies.org/manage-cookies/index.html.
Links to other
sites:
This Website may contain links to other web sites. Please be aware
that we are not responsible for the privacy practices of such other
web sites. We encourage our users to be aware when they leave our
site and to read the privacy statements of each and every web site
that collects personally identifiable information. This privacy
statement applies solely to information collected by this
Website.
How we protect your
information:
The security of your personal information is very important to us.
When you enter sensitive information such as a credit card number,
we encrypt that information using secure socket layer technology
(SSL). We follow generally accepted industry standards to protect
the personal information submitted to us from unauthorized access
or disclosure, both during transmission and once we receive it.
However, no method of transmission over the Internet, or method of
electronic storage, is 100% secure. Therefore, while we strive to
use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal
information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security. We can
therefore assume no liability for any disclosure of data due to
errors in transmission, unauthorised third party access or other
acts of third parties, or other acts or omissions.
Children's
Privacy
As this is an e-commerce website, the Services are intended for
users ages 18 and older. Accordingly, we will not knowingly collect
or use any personal information from persons that we know to be
under the age of 18. In addition, we will delete any information in
our database that we know originates from persons under the age of
18.
Changes to our Privacy
Policy:
If we change our Privacy Policy, we will post a new Privacy Policy
on our Website, which will become effective when posted. The new
policy will apply to all current and past users of the Website and
will replace any prior policies that are inconsistent with it.

If you ever have any questions regarding our privacy policy please
