As Celebrity Ink Autographs are a UK based company all of our autographs must be pre-paid for in Pounds Sterling (GBP),  We currently accept card payments by Visa, Mastercard, Visa Debit, Mastercard Debit, Maestro, Amex through the secure Shopify online payment system.   We also accept payment by Paypal.  Sorry, but we no longer accept cheques or money/postal orders as payment.  International customers must please remember that currency exchange rates vary daily and that the amount shown on your card or Paypal statement will be in your local currency converted at a rate decided by by your card issuer.   All prices on this website are inclusive of any local sales taxes that might be applicable, but do not include any shipping costs.  Customers are liable for all shipping costs.  Shipping costs are shown before final payment is made during checkout.  We only ship using a service that requires a customer signature on delivery.  This is not always the cheapest method of shipping, but it is for both your and our security. 

Authenticity Of Autographs

All of the autographs that we sell are either obtained in person,  or from an agent working for us.  WE ONLY SELL ORIGINAL AUTOGRAPHS.   We do NOT sell, copies, facsimiles, secretarial or autopen autographs.  Each autograph is sold with a uniquely numbered, tamper evident label.  This unique number is also printed on our Certificate Of Authenticity.  We hold a master record of all of our autographs sold and can immediately confirm the authenticity of each item and usually when and where the autograph was obtained.
We often obtain multiples of many of our autographs, and as such, the actual autograph position shown on this website may vary very slightly from the autograph that would actually receive.  If the change of autograph position is considerable, if the signer adds a comment or if another colour pen was used than in the item photo, then we will contact you for approval before shipping that particular autograph.   All of our autographs are on 8" x 10" high quality photographic paper unless noted against the individual items details.  None of our autographs are dedicated.  All of our autographed photos are in new undamaged condition unless otherwise noted.  The photo and autograph are usually look much nicer than the scanned picture.

Authenticity Guarantee

Above and beyond your statutory rights as set out in the UK Distance selling regulations, each and every autograph that we sell comes with a 100% money back Authenticity guarantee as stipulated by the RACC, AFTAL or UACC dealer codes of ethics.  This Guarantee only applies to autographs deemed to have "Failed" Third Party Authentication by industry recognised Third Part Authentication companies.  Becketts,  ACOA and SWAU are among those acceptable TPA companies.   A copy of the Third Party Authenticator's "Failure" letter would be required before we can accept a return of this type.  An autograph found to be "Inconclusive" or "Pushed" by Third Party Authenticator is not, by definition, considered to have "Failed" and would not be covered by this guarantee.

Watermarks

Many of the images on this website will show a "Celebrity Ink  Autographs" watermark.  This watermark is NOT on the autographed photo itself.  Watermarks are used by us to prevent the copying of our images.   Copied images might end up for sale as either reprints or even being passed off as original autographs.  We at Celebrity Ink Autographs will do everything in our power to prevent such forgeries making their way to the open market, hence the adoption of the watermark.

Exclusions:

We reserve the right to cancel any order, without explanation, at any time if we feel that the order is made with any kind of malicious or fraudulent intent against Celebrity Ink Autographs. 

IMPORTANT.  We do not ship to South American countries due to the aggressive import taxation on Signed For commercial items posted to certain countries there.  PLEASE do not order from this site if you are a resident in South America as we will have to cancel your order.  Currently we cannot remove South American countries from our checkout so even though it is actually possible for you to physically place your order, we will not fulfil your order and will refund you.  This issue is only with South American Countries.  We are sorry that blocking South American customers has become necessary.
