Here's the updated Terms & Conditions for Ickle Prints:
1. ABOUT US
This website is operated by The Ink Studio, trading as Ickle Prints. Throughout these Terms, "we", "us" and "our" refer to The Ink Studio. These Terms apply to all users of the website and anyone who places an order with us. You must be at least 18 years old to place an order. By purchasing from us, you confirm that you meet this requirement.
2. PERSONALISED PRODUCTS
All products are personalised and made to order using customer-submitted photographs, text and information.
Because each product is created specifically for you:
- slight variations in colour, cropping and print appearance may occur between screen previews and the finished product
- previews are approximations only and may differ from the final printed item
- you are responsible for ensuring uploaded images are of sufficient resolution and quality for printing
We reserve the right to refuse or cancel any order where submitted content is, in our reasonable opinion:
- offensive
- unlawful
- defamatory
- discriminatory
- infringing on third-party rights
By uploading content, you confirm that you own the rights to that material or have obtained all necessary permissions. Where photographs include images of individuals, you confirm you have the right to submit those images for use in artwork creation.
3. ARTWORK CREATION
Ickle Prints uses a combination of professional digital tools, software and AI-assisted technologies as part of our artwork creation and editing process. This may include AI tools that generate artistic styles, enhance or reinterpret uploaded photographs.
By placing an order, you acknowledge that:
- final artwork may differ from your original uploaded photographs in style, composition and interpretation
- AI-assisted processing may stylise or reinterpret submitted images
- the final result is produced at our discretion based on your selected style and submitted materials
If you have specific requirements regarding the use of AI tools, please contact us before placing your order.
4. ARTWORK APPROVAL
Where a preview or proof is provided, you are responsible for carefully reviewing:
- all spelling, names and dates
- image selection and placement
- artwork layout and overall appearance
Approval of a proof constitutes acceptance of the artwork exactly as shown.
Once approved, changes cannot be guaranteed and may incur additional charges.
If you do not respond to a proof request within 7 calendar days, we reserve the right to proceed with production based on the most recent version.
5. RETURNS, REFUNDS & CANCELLATIONS
As all products are personalised and made to order, they are exempt from the standard 14-day right of return under the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013.
All sales are final once artwork has been approved.
We will offer a remedy — repair, replacement or refund at our discretion — only where:
- the item arrives damaged in transit
- the wrong item has been supplied
- there is a verified manufacturing defect
To report a damaged or faulty item, contact us within 7 calendar days of delivery with:
- clear photographs of the issue
- photographs of the packaging
- your order details
Nothing in these Terms affects your statutory rights under UK consumer law, including the Consumer Rights Act 2015.

We reserve the right to cancel or refuse any order.
If cancelled before production begins, a full refund will be issued.
