Terms & Conditions

1. About Us

This website is operated by Ruthy Michaels. By placing an order through this website, you agree to the Terms & Conditions set out below.

For any questions, contact us at: store@ruthymichaels.com

2. Products

All books sold on this website are printed to order, meaning each item is created specifically after your order is placed and is not held in stock.

Product images and descriptions are provided as accurately as possible. Colours and appearance may vary slightly due to printing processes and screen settings.

3. Orders & Payment

  • All prices are shown in GBP (£)

  • Payment is required in full at the time of ordering

  • An order confirmation email will be sent once payment has been received

We reserve the right to refuse or cancel an order if there is an issue with payment, availability, or suspected misuse of the website.

4. Shipping

Orders are typically printed and dispatched within 3–7 working days. At checkout, customers select their preferred delivery speed and pay accordingly:

  • Royal Mail: 2–5 working days after dispatch

  • Standard Tracked: 3–4 working days after dispatch

  • Priority Tracked: 1–2 working days after dispatch

  • DPD Next Day Courier: next working day after dispatch

Total delivery time = production time + chosen postage speed. Delivery times are estimates and may vary, particularly during busy periods. Once your order has been dispatched, responsibility for delivery timing passes to the postal or courier service.

5. Returns & Refunds

Because all items are printed to order, we do not accept returns or exchanges for change of mind or incorrectly placed orders. However, if your item arrives damaged, contains a printing fault, or is incorrect, please contact us within 14 days of delivery at store@ruthymichaels.com with your order number and a photo where possible. We will arrange a replacement or refund as appropriate.

6. Cancellations

Orders cannot be cancelled once printing has begun. If you contact us immediately after placing your order, we will do our best to help, but cancellation cannot be guaranteed.

7. Intellectual Property

All content on this website — including text, illustrations, designs, and books — is the property of Ruthy Michaels and may not be copied, reproduced, or distributed without written permission.

Purchasing a product does not transfer any intellectual property rights.

8. Limitation of Liability

We are not liable for:

  • Delays caused by postal or courier services

  • Minor variations in print colour or finish

  • Indirect or consequential losses

Nothing in these Terms & Conditions limits your statutory rights under UK consumer law.

9. Governing Law

These Terms & Conditions are governed by the laws of England and Wales. Any disputes will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the UK courts.

10. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms & Conditions from time to time. The version published on this website at the time of your order will apply.
