- Licence.
The User will retain the sole ownership of the User Content uploaded by him or her on the Platform, for which he/she remains solely and wholly liable. In uploading, posting, contributing, delivering or communicating the User Content to ByKaza, the User expressly grants to ByKaza a worldwide, royalty-free, perpetual, transferable, sub-licensable, non-exclusive, right and licence to use the User Content to provide the Services pursuant to these GTCs, including without limitation for the purposes of producing and manufacturing the Products and improving the printing quality and display parameters of the Products.
- Orders.
By registering on the Platform (see Section 3 above), the User will be able to select the User Content or other available content to be printed on the Products, select the type and quantity of the Products he/she wants to purchase and select the delivery and payment methods. By placing an order request, the User accepts these GTCs and acknowledges that he/she has carefully read the Privacy Policy. Our order process allows you to check and amend any errors before submitting your order request to us. Please take the time to read and check your order at each page of the order process.
ByKaza will confirm receipt of the order request by sending an email to the email address communicated by the User to ByKaza. The message will provide all applicable data inserted by the User and a link to the GTCs. The invoice will be attached to the email.
If (whether before or after sending the confirmation email) an ordered Product is not available, ByKaza will promptly inform the User of the time necessary to deliver the ordered Product. The User shall then have the option to confirm or cancel the order. If you have already paid for the Product, we will refund you the full amount including any delivery costs charged as soon as possible.
ByKaza reserves the right to refuse, at its discretion, any order for the Products, whether in whole or part. ByKaza shall not be liable to any User for any damage or cost, nor for any liability, in contract or in tort or otherwise, nor for any direct or indirect damages to persons and/or objects caused by the non-acceptance by ByKaza, in whole or in part, of an order.
ByKaza attempts to be as accurate as possible in displaying the Products on the Platform. However, the images of the Products on the Platform are for illustrative purposes only and we cannot guarantee the User’s computer’s display of the colours accurately reflect the colours of the Products. The User’s Products may vary slightly from those images. ByKaza has made every effort to be as accurate as possible with all sizes, weights, capacities, dimensions and measurements, but we cannot guarantee that they will be entirely accurate in every case.
- Prices.
The prices applied to the User are those indicated on the Platform at the time of the order. Prices are indicated in GBP and are inclusive of VAT but they do not include the delivery costs. The delivery costs are available on the Platform and shall be paid by the User. They are calculated according to the option selected by the User and are indicated separately in the order. Potential customs costs, local taxes and/or import duties applicable to the delivery of products shall be paid by the User.
ByKaza reserves the right to modify the prices at its convenience. The price may not be modified after the order is placed. The Platform contains a large number of Products. It is always possible that, despite ByKaza’s reasonable efforts, some of the Products on the Platform may be incorrectly priced. If ByKaza discover an error in the price of the Products the User has ordered ByKaza will contact the User to notify of this error and ByKaza will give the User the option of continuing to purchase the Product at the correct price or cancelling the order. ByKaza will not process the order until your instructions have been received. If the User is unable to be contacted using the contact details provided during the order process, ByKaza will treat the order as cancelled and notify the User in writing. Please note that if the pricing error is obvious and unmistakable and could have reasonably been recognized by as a mispricing, ByKaza does not have to provide the Products to the User at the incorrect (lower) price.
- Delivery
Once an order is placed, ByKaza will produce the Products and deliver them according to the delivery option chosen by the User. The Products will be delivered to the address the User has indicated when the order was placed. ByKaza shall not be liable for any delays occurred in connection with the transportation of the Products outside ByKaza’s control. If the Products are shown on the Platform to be available for purchase, the delivery date is determined on the basis of the following elements:
- receipt of the order and possible verification by ByKaza of the information provided by the User for the purchase;
- preparation of the order;
- forward of the order to the relevant courier, according to the delivery method selected by the User; and
- time of delivery according to the courier selected by the User.
ByKaza shall not be liable for any delay in the dispatch of the order or in the delivery of the ordered Products. If ByKaza misses the 30 day delivery deadline for any Products the User may cancel its Order straight away (for just some of the Products or all of them, unless splitting them up would significantly reduce their value) if any of the following apply:
- (a) ByKaza has refused to deliver the Products;
- (b) delivery within the delivery deadline was essential (taking into account all the relevant circumstances); or
- (c) the User told ByKaza before ByKaza accepted the order that delivery within the delivery deadline was essential.
If the User does not wish to cancel the order straight away, or does not have the right to do so under (a), (b) or (c) above, the User can give ByKaza a new deadline for delivery, which must be reasonable, and the User can cancel the Order if ByKaza does not meet the new deadline.
If the Products have been delivered by the time the User cancels, the User will have to return them to ByKaza or allow ByKaza to collect them, and ByKaza will pay the costs of this. After the User cancels any Order ByKaza will refund any sums ByKaza has paid for the cancelled Products and their delivery.
ByKaza delivers to most international countries. However there are restrictions on some Products for certain International Delivery Destinations, in such case the country name will not appear among the possible selections at the point of ordering Products.
If the User orders Products from the Platform for delivery to one of the International Delivery Destinations, it may be subject to import duties and taxes which are applied when the delivery reaches that destination. Please note that ByKaza has no control over these charges and cannot predict their amount. The User will be responsible for payment of any such import duties and taxes. Please contact the local customs office for further information before placing an order.
The User must comply with all applicable laws and regulations of the country for which the Products are destined. ByKaza will not be liable or responsible if the User breaks any such law.
The User owns the Products once ByKaza has received payment in full, including all applicable delivery charges.
- Payment Terms of the Purchased Products.
ByKaza offers to the User the following methods of payment: credit card; debit card. Credit and debit cards shall be charged at the time of the confirmation of the User’s order being placed by ByKaza. Online payment will be processed using a secured system. In order to prevent fraud, ByKaza shall have the right to verify the orders placed on the Platform. In the event ByKaza has doubts regarding the legitimacy of the order, ByKaza reserves the right to verify the identity of the User’s documentation by requesting identification document of the User (such as passport, ID card or driving license) and providing evidence of the domicile location and the payment method that was used. Should the requested documentation not be sent to ByKaza by the User within 5 (five) days of the request or in the event that the information received by ByKaza are not consistent, ByKaza shall have the right to cancel the order.
- Return, refunds and cancellation.

The User should be aware that, based on Article 16, letter c) of Directive 2011/83/EU (implemented in England and Wales by regulation 28(1)(b) of the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013 (SI 2013/3134)), consumers do not have a right of withdrawal in case of purchases of products made to the consumer’s specifications or clearly personalized. In compliance with applicable laws, ByKaza does not grant the User a right of withdrawal in connection with these personalized Products and does not accept returns or refunds except as provided by Sections 11 c) and d) below.
Order changes and cancellation
Order changes (such as, by way of example, change of Product type and quantity, changes of order recipient, changes in delivery method) are not possible once the order request is confirmed by ByKaza. Changes of delivery address may be possible if requested in writing to Stephane@ByKaza.com promptly and provided that the order has not yet left the factory and the country where the order needs to be delivered to is the same as in the original order. Order cancellation is not possible once the order is confirmed by ByKaza.
Defective Products
If a Product is delivered faulty, defective, damaged or broken, the User shall notify ByKaza’ customer support within 5 (five) working days from receipt of the Product by filling in the contact form available on the Platform, including in the e-mail:
- i) the User’s name and surname ;
- ii) the order reference number;
- iii) a description of the problem giving rise to the User’s complaint;
- iv) a photo of the faulty, defective, damaged or broken Product (provided that the fault, defect or damage can be shown on a photo).
Once the User’s complaint has been notified to and accepted by ByKaza’s customer support, ByKaza will either offer the User the opportunity to have a new Product produced by ByKaza and deliver it at ByKaza’s expense or give to the User credits that may be used to purchase a different Product. In those cases where a refund is needed it will be issued in the currency used to purchase the Products. Actual settlement will take place within 5 working days from the date the User received from ByKaza’ customer support an e-mail acknowledging that the User’s complaint has been received and will be processed.ByKaza reserves the right to request the User to return the defective Product or to deliver it to a delivery point if this service is available.
Goods damaged in transport
If the fault, defect or damage is already apparent at the moment of delivery (if, for example, the outer box looks damaged), then the User can refuse the delivery and should send immediately and in any event within 5 (five) working days a notification to ByKaza’ customer support by e-mail. If the complaint is accepted, ByKaza will replace the Product and deliver it at ByKaza’s expenses.
Late deliveries/Lost Products
The standard delivery time for each delivery option stated in the Platform is an estimate. ByKaza will do its best to produce and deliver the ordered Products to the User in the shortest time possible, but transportation problems and delays that are outside ByKaza’s control may occur. ByKaza shall not be liable for any delay in the dispatch of the order or in the delivery of the ordered Products except as set out in article 9 above. ByKaza’s customer support (Stephane@ByKaza.com) is available to help the User to track orders or solve delivery problems. ByKaza strongly recommends the User to choose a tracked delivery option for better security and to be able to trace ordered Products. In any case, in order to minimize the risk of loss, for some higher value Products tracked delivery (standard or express) is the only option available to the User. Any complaint or communication shall be addressed to ByKaza’ customer support via email at: Stephane@ByKaza.com.
- Limitation of Liability.
If ByKaza fails to comply with these GTCs, ByKaza is responsible for loss or damage the User suffers that is a foreseeable result of that breach or ByKaza’s negligence, but ByKaza is not responsible for any loss or damage that is not foreseeable. Loss or damage is foreseeable if it is an obvious consequence of ByKaza’s breach or if it was contemplated by you and us at the time we entered into a contract for the sale of Products.

- Access to the Platform and modification to the Services.
ByKaza does not guarantee that the Platform, or any content on it, will always be available or be uninterrupted. Access to the Platform is permitted on a temporary basis and the User is responsible for making all arrangements necessary to have access to the Platform. ByKaza does not guarantee that the Platform will be secure or free from bugs or viruses and should use his or her own virus protection software.

- Other important terms.
The User may link to the ByKaza home page, provided it is done in a way that is fair and legal and does not damage our reputation or take advantage of it.

ByKaza reserves the right to withdraw linking permission without notice. Any website in which the User links to the Platform must comply in all respects with the content standards set out in these GTCs. If you wish to make any use of content on the Platform other than that set out above, please contact Stephane@ByKaza.com.
ByKaza may transfer its rights and obligations under these GTCs or any contract for the supply of Products to another organisation, but this will not affect the User’s rights or our obligations under these GTCs. The User may only transfer his or her rights or obligations under these GTCs or any contract for the supply of Products to another person if ByKaza agrees in writing.
These GTCs and any contract for the supply of Products is between ByKaza and the User. No other person shall have any rights to enforce any of its terms, whether under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 or otherwise.
Each of the paragraphs of these GTCs operates separately. If any court or relevant authority decides that any of them are unlawful or unenforceable, the remaining paragraphs will remain in full force and effect.
If ByKaza fails to insist that the User performs any of its obligations under these Terms, or if ByKaza does not enforce its rights against the User, or delays in doing so, that will not mean that ByKaza has waived its rights against you and will not mean that the User does not have to comply with those obligations. If ByKaza does waive a default by the User, it will only do so in writing.
- Applicable Law and Jurisdiction.
These GTCs are governed by English law. This means a contract for the purchase of Products through the Platform and any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with it will be governed by English law. The parties agree that the courts of England and Wales will have non-exclusive jurisdiction.
