Licensing

create your maps comes from the Ordnance Survey.
This means the maps you receive are completely
legal and licensed and do not infringe OS Licencing
laws. The royalty fee payable is included in the
price we quote you. You can also have the option
of buying upto 5 years OS license with your initial
order.
We try to make the OS licensing as simple and
hassle free as possible. We even issue you with
a certificate when we deliver your maps proving
your maps are licensed and more importantly, protected!}
Delivery
times and design schedule.
When we send you a quotation,
we will give you an expected delivery date for
your first proofs. It usually takes 1 week to
get your map to a first proof stage. Depending
on the number of changes or additions you would
like making to your maps determines how long the
proofing process will take(usually not more than
2-3 days) If you have a particularily urgent requirement,
we can delivery your maps 'next day'
The proofing
process.
When we send you your first
proof, we invite you to tell us about changes
you would like to make to the maps, colour schemes
changing, landmarks adding, trafic lights adding
etc. We will make the changes, and email you another
proof as soon as the changes are made. We continue
to do this until you are totally happy with your
maps.
When you approve the maps, we will proceed to
produce all the other different file formats and
the monochrome map conversion process. We will
send you all your maps on a CD along with a high
resolution full colour, glossy print and a monochrome
print.
Future
updates and amendments.
What happens if your map
needs updating in the future? We will be happyto
carry out minor ammendments for free if we can
deliver the modified files by email however, if
you require a new CD to be issued there is a nominal
charge of £10 to cover the cost of postage,CD's
and printing. If you require more extensive changes
or additions to the maps such as new road layouts
etc. we charge a very small fee, usually £20 to
£30 depeniding on the extent of the changes needed.
How to
pay for your maps.
Only when your maps are completed,
the final proofs are approved and your final pack
is received, will we invoice you for the full
balance. We do appreciate payment within 7 days
of the final invoice.
Discounts
for multiple orders.
We are often asked by our
clients whether there are any discounts available
for ordering more than one location map. Depending
on the type of location maps ordered, we are usually
able to offer very good discounts for orders above
5 locations. The amount of discount offered is
generally dependant on the number of maps ordered
(the larger the order the greater percentage discount
we are able to offer)
