Terms of Service
1.1 These terms of service (Terms), together with (i) the terms set out in your accompanying order (Order) and (ii) any documents specifically referred to in these Terms, form the basis of the agreement (Agreement) between you, the customer specified in the Order (Customer, you, your) and Little Tickets Ltd (company number 10526137) of Norman House, Pixash Business Centre, Pixash Lane, Keynsham, Bristol, BS31 1TP (Little Tickets, we, us, our).
1.2 Your Order must be submitted online via our website at www.littletickets.com (Website). An Order submitted by you comprises an offer to Little Tickets to contract on that basis. Your offer will be accepted, and the Agreement formed, only when Little Tickets confirms acceptance of your Order in writing (including by email). Each Order so accepted by Little Tickets will form a separate and discrete Agreement. No estimate or quotation issued by Little Tickets (whether orally or in writing) constitutes an offer, and Little Tickets reserves the right to withdraw or revise the same at any time before issuing an Invoice.
1.3 Anyone submitting an Order on your behalf represents and warrants that they have the legal right and authority to bind you to the terms of the Agreement.
1.4 You agree that you have read, understood and agree to be bound by these Terms and the submitted Order and that you have not relied on any representation, statement, promise, assurance or warranty given by or on behalf of Little Tickets which is not set out in the Agreement.
1.5 Unless otherwise agreed in writing, these Terms apply to all Orders you submit, to the exclusion of any and all terms and/or conditions that may be submitted by or for you under any purchase order or any other document or any implied by trade, custom, practice or course of dealing, all of which shall be void and of no effect.
1.6 Any samples, drawings, descriptive matter or advertising issued by Little Tickets, and any descriptions or illustrations contained on our Website or in our catalogues or brochures, are issued or published for the sole purpose of giving an approximate idea of the Services described in them. They shall not form part of the Agreement or have any contractual force.
1.7 If there is any inconsistency between the Order and these Terms, the Order shall prevail, provided the Order has been accepted by us.
2.1 In consideration of the performance of your obligations hereunder, including the payment of the Charges, we shall:
a) supply and deliver the deliverables set out in your agreed Order (Deliverables).

c) provide the Services and Deliverables in accordance with any agreed descriptions or specifications (Specification(s)) in all material respects.

(f) promptly provide such data, documents, drawings, plans, diagrams, designs, reports, specifications or other information as we may reasonably require, and ensure that all such information is complete, true and accurate in all material respects.
4.2 If our performance of any of our obligations under the Agreement is prevented or delayed by any act or omission on your part or failure by you to perform any relevant obligation (Your Default):

(a) You give notice in writing in accordance with clause 2 that some or all of the Deliverables do not comply with the warranty set out in clause 7.2;
(b) we are given a reasonable opportunity of examining the Deliverables; and
(c) if asked to do so by us, you return such the Deliverables to our place of business.
