  1. These terms and conditions, along with any other documents referred to in it (together the “Terms”), sets out the legal terms and conditions under which we, CM ROW Fulfilment ltd (“Moteefe”, “We”, “Us”, “Our”), provide our print-on-demand platform (the “Platform”) and related services (together, the Moteefe Services”) to you and/or to the business you represent (the “Designer”, or “You”) and the provision and licensing of your content (“Designer Content”) to Us.
  2. Moteefe’s Platform enables You to provide your designs and create products (each a “Product”) and to set up a virtual store (“Store”) and/or separate campaigns to advertise those Products (each a “Campaign”) with a view to making those Products available for purchase by other users of the Platform (“Purchasers”). The Platform also offers You the choice of using a custom domain name for your Store (“White Label Stores”).
  3. By registering for and using the Platform, the Designer agrees to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree to these Terms, you may not use the Platform. You agree to follow our reasonable instructions regarding your use of the Platform. In addition, other important terms and conditions will also apply to your use of the Platform, depending on your use of the Platform and Moteefe Services, including:
  1. The Moteefe Privacy Policy, which sets out the terms on which Moteefe processes any personal data collected from Designers and Purchasers; and
  2. The Moteefe Copyright and Trade Mark Policy, which explains your responsibilities to respect and not to infringe the intellectual property rights of others, and the process to be followed if any such infringement is identified or alleged.

You are contracting with CM ROW Fulfilment Ltd, trading as Moteefe, a company registered in England and Wales under company number 13215934 and VAT number 438378166 and with its registered office at 6th Floor, One London Wall, Barbican, London, EC2Y 5EB, United Kingdom. Please contact us if you want further information.

2. Moteefe’s Services

  1. Moteefe’s Platform: Moteefe is a platform that enables third party Designers to sell and have fulfilled custom merchandise, produced on demand, to Purchasers around the world. This is good for the environment because it means unnecessary stock is not produced which then may end up in landfill and because products can be produced closer to their destination which reduces the environmental impact of transportation.
  2. Moteefe Services – Designers: In return for the Moteefe Fees, Moteefe will make the Platform available to You in accordance with these Terms, including enabling You to upload your Designer Content for the creation of Products, the hosting of actively trading Stores, Campaigns and/or White Label Stores for You, processing orders and transactions, arranging for the fulfilment of orders for Products and enabling You to monitor and administer your Stores, Campaigns and/or White Label Stores.
  3. Customer Service – Purchasers: Unless We expressly agree with You otherwise, Moteefe will be the first point of contact for all customer support for Purchasers including handling any requests and complaints in relation to the quality of the Products, designs, production, fulfilment and delivery. We may decide, in our sole discretion, if a Purchaser is entitled to a refund, in full or in part. Without prejudice to our other rights and remedies, if in our reasonable opinion we decide that the Designer is responsible for the return or refund then we may withhold or set-off payment of fees paid or payable to You.
  4. White Label Stores - You acknowledge and agree that You control and are fully responsible for any White Label Store You have on the Platform, subject to these Terms.
  5. You hereby authorise Moteefe to act on your behalf in accordance with these Terms, using our reasonable discretion and without any obligation to contact You or obtain your consent prior to taking such steps.
