BACKGROUND: 

​

Welcome to Ink Bound, a company specialising in printing bespoke designs onto transfer paper for use as temporary tattoos. These Terms and Conditions (the “Terms”) set out the terms on which InkBound Limited of 5 Beechwood Gardens, Ilford, England, IG5 0AE  (“InkBound/we/us/our”) provides its image printing services to you via  our Ink Bound Tattoo Shop website (the “website”). 

 

Please read these Terms carefully and ensure that you understand them before using the website or ordering any products on it.  By  using the website you agree to these Terms. You will also be required to read and accept these Terms when placing any order via the website. If you do not agree to these Terms, you must not use the website.

 

We may change and update these Terms at any time. You are responsible for informing yourself of any changes by regularly reviewing these Terms. Your continued use of the website constitutes your agreement to the latest version of the Terms. 

 

 

1. Access to the Website

 

a.  Access to the Website is provided “as is” and on an “as available” basis. We may alter, suspend or discontinue the Website (or any part of it) at any time and without notice. Except in respect of our obligations to fulfil any orders placed and paid for, we will not be liable to you in any way if the Website (or any part of it) is discontinued or unavailable at any time and for any period.

 

​b.  Use of the Website may be subject to additional terms and policies. Where this is the case, please ensure that you have read such terms and policies carefully and that you understand them.

 

 

2. Placing an Order

 

a.  ​If you would like to place an order, our Website will guide you through the order process. We cannot guarantee that all of the images we print are appropriate for minors. If you are under the age of 18, you must obtain your parent or guardian’s permission before placing an order via our Website.

 

b.  Unless otherwise agreed, we only supply goods for domestic and private use by consumers. We do not accept high volume orders and any limit on the number of images you may order via our Website will be communicated to you during the order process.

 

​c.  Only once we have sent you an email confirmation of your order will there be a legally binding contract between us and these Terms are part of it,

​

d. ​ All our tattoos are printed onto TheMagicTouch® Tattoo Transfer Paper which is applied to the skin and may be removed by washing with soap and water. This is an odourless waterleaf paper coated with starch, dextrin and ethylcellulose and is not believed to be an irritant or to cause skin irritation or sensitization. All our tattoos are supplied in a kit format which includes a make up solution (Finishing Serum) which can be used when applying the tattoo to skin.  You should always follow the allergy testing procedure (including the allergy testing time frames) as detailed in the kit prior to applying the tattoo.  You use our tattoo transfers solely at your own risk. To the fullest extent permissible by law, we accept no responsibility or liability for any adverse consequences of such use.

 

e. We shall not be liable in any way whatsoever, for any failure of our products to comply with their description on our Website if such defect arises as a result of you not following our written instructions provided in the kit for both (i) allergy testing and (ii) storage, application and use of the tattoo.

b.  Unless you receive an order that is not as described, or is faulty or damaged when you receive it, you have no right to return, exchange or obtain a refund for goods ordered. If you have purchased goods for an unsuitable purpose that is neither obvious nor made known to us, or if any problem with your order is the result of normal wear and tear, misuse or intentional or careless damage, you will not be entitled to any refund or replacement. We take no responsibility for poor quality images where such images were originally supplied by you.
