Terms & conditions: summary

by CLAN Customer Service

By viewing and/or downloading any part of this web site facility, or by creating and/or publishing new or modified tartans using this system, you are deemed to be accepting our full Terms and Conditions. These are summarised on this page, and more fully detailed in other articles in our Information Centre.

Taxes & duties

In simple terms, if your delivery is to within the United Kingdom, we charge you VAT. If goods are sent beyond the UK, we do not charge VAT. Any import duties or other local taxes will be applied by the relevant body in your country and are not included in the total cost of your order from us. See this section for more details.

Order confirmation

Your order is not confirmed until we charge it. See this section for more details. We reserve the right to request production or postal surcharges for orders that fall outwith our automated system's normal parameters, such as unusually complex tartan designs for weaving,  or unusually bulky or heavy packages or to unusual destinations. You will have the option to cancel your order under such circumstances.

Tartan copyright

You are assuming legal responsibility for ensuring each design you create is unique and infringing no one else’s rights. Every tartan design is unique and many have restrictions on their use by commercial or other interests. Most of these are already recorded as such in our systems. We will always do our best to preserve the spirit of any tartan designer’s intellectual property. See this section for more details.

Your Rights & Responsibilities

You waive all legal rights to any new tartan design you publish in the Gallery, or otherwise make visible to third parties, unless and until you commission its production as physical fabric or other products, whereupon it will be deemed your original copyright design, and to have been published under a Creative Commons License. Any copyright claim can only ever be provisional, and contingent upon no one else establishing a prior claim to the same design elsewhere. It is subject to the licensing terms described below. See this section for more details. 

Naming

Any tartan you commission for weaving must have a unique name. This may not duplicate any name previously recorded by any other user, nor the name of any tartan recorded by the Scottish Register of Tartans. It should also not imply claims that might be deemed to be false. See this section for more details.

License for Scotweb to produce

By saving and/or publishing a new tartan design using this system, you are granting Scotweb Marketing Ltd an exclusive right to weave, license, or otherwise use your design commercially. We will normally never do so except on your behalf. But should any other user wish us to produce your tartan design for any purpose, we reserve the right to do so. In short, we consider tartan to be our common and unifying heritage to which you are contributing, and not a means to exclude others from wearing a particular pattern.

Abuse

By using our site, you agree to behave respectfully towards other site users and towards our staff. See this section for more details. 

Fraud

We reserve the right to withhold offers or take further action if we consider any attempt to claim any offer fraudulent. See this section for more details.
