Terms of Sale

1. Who you are buying from

MERIDIAN is the trading name of the seller listed in the record below. Throughout these terms, "we", "us" and "Meridian" mean that business, and "you" means the person placing the order.

The business is registered in Israel and sells internationally. Posters are printed and dispatched by our print partners: Lumaprints in California for US orders, and Printify for orders outside the US. Your contract of sale is with the business named above, and that is the business that answers for it.

2. Prices, currency and taxes

All prices and all charges are in United States dollars (USD). Your bank may apply its own conversion and fees if your account is held in another currency. The price shown at checkout is the price charged; there are no fees added after the fact.

Import duty, VAT and customs handling charges, where a destination country levies them, are not included and are payable by you to the carrier or the authorities. We cannot calculate them in advance for every jurisdiction and we do not collect them on anyone's behalf. A delivery within the United States is domestic and no duty arises.

Your settled card statement will show PAYPAL *MERIDIANPLATE. Every PayPal charge begins with the word PayPal. Depending on your bank the line may read PAYPAL *MERIDIANPLATE, PP*MERIDIANPLATE or PAYPAL followed by MERIDIAN. All three are us. If a settled charge appears under a name that is neither of those, write to us before disputing it. We would rather refund you in a day than argue with your bank for a month.

3. Orders and acceptance

Placing an order is an offer to buy. A contract forms when we accept it, which happens when your payment is authorised and we confirm the order by email. Until then nothing is owed by either side.

Where an item is unavailable, where a price or description was published in error, where the delivery address cannot be served by our printers, or where we have reasonable grounds to suspect fraud, we may decline an order and refund it in full. Declining is not a penalty and carries no charge.

Every poster is made to order, with the names, the place and the date you choose, and printed after you buy it. That is why an order can be cancelled only until it goes to print, and why section 6 works the way it does.

You choose the text and we print it as the preview shows it. Please only use text you have the right to use. We may refuse an order with offensive content and refund it in full.

4. Payment and card security

We accept major credit and debit cards. Payment is processed by PayPal Israel Payment Services Ltd. Payment is completed on PayPal's own secure checkout. Card and account details are entered there and are never transmitted to, or stored on, meridianplate.com. We never see your full card number, and we do not store card data of any kind.

Your card is charged once, at the point of purchase, for the exact total shown on the order summary. We do not hold cards on file, we do not run subscriptions, and we do not charge a card again without a new purchase.

The amount charged is always the amount our server calculated for your basket and delivery address. If a payment fails or is declined by your bank, no order is created and no money moves; you can try again with another card without losing your basket.

5. Production and delivery

Production and transit are quoted together, as a single window measured from the moment you order to the moment the parcel is handed over. The current windows are published in full on the Shipping & delivery page.

Standard shipping is free on every order. Delivery windows are estimates in good faith, not guarantees: carriers, customs and weather are outside our control. If a parcel is materially late, write to us and we will chase the carrier and, where it is lost, reprint or refund.

Risk of loss passes to you on delivery. Title passes when payment clears in full.

6. Returns and refunds

Each poster carries your names, your place and your date, so nobody else can use it. For that reason we do not take back a poster that arrived as you ordered it.

If it arrives damaged, printed wrong, or not what your receipt says, email a photo within 30 days of delivery. We reprint it or refund you in full, whichever you prefer. You do not need to send it back. A parcel lost on the way is covered the same way.

Refunds go back to the card or PayPal account you paid with, in USD. Your bank usually shows it within 5 to 10 business days, which is a timing we do not control.

A note on the EU right of withdrawal. Goods made to the consumer's specification or clearly personalised are excepted from the fourteen-day withdrawal right under Article 16(c) of Directive 2011/83/EU, and every poster is made to your specification. Nothing here limits rights you hold under the mandatory consumer law of your own country. The full policy is on the Returns & refunds page.

7. Cancelling an order

Write to studio@meridianplate.com with your order number. If the poster has not gone to print yet, we cancel and refund in full. Once it is printed it cannot be changed or cancelled, and section 6 covers anything that arrives wrong.

8. Our designs

Every poster design, illustration, photograph and line of text on this site is ours or licensed to us. Map data © OpenStreetMap contributors, available under the Open Database License. Buying a poster buys the poster. It does not license the design for reproduction, resale, print-on-demand listing, or training of machine-learning models.

9. Liability

We are responsible for loss you suffer as a foreseeable result of our breaking these terms or failing to use reasonable care. Our total liability for any order is limited to the amount you paid for it. We do not exclude or limit liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud, or for anything else that cannot lawfully be limited.

The site is provided as it stands. We do not warrant that it will be uninterrupted or error-free, though we would rather hear about it than not: studio@meridianplate.com.

10. Using the site

Do not place orders fraudulently, on a card that is not yours, or for resale under another brand. Do not attempt to interfere with the site, its payment path, or other people's orders. We may refuse service and cancel orders where any of this happens.

11. Governing law and disputes

These terms are governed by the law of Israel, and the courts of Israel have jurisdiction. If you are a consumer resident elsewhere, this does not deprive you of the protection of mandatory provisions of the law of your country of residence.

Before anything formal: write to us. Almost everything that reaches a dispute could have been a reply to an email.

12. Changes

We may revise these terms. The version that governs your purchase is the one published when you placed the order, and the date at the top of this page tells you which that was.

13. Contact

One inbox, answered within one business day: studio@meridianplate.com. Postal address and telephone are listed in section 1.

How we handle the personal data behind an order is set out separately, in the Privacy Policy.
