Terms & Conditions

Last updated: September 2026

These Terms & Conditions (“Terms”) govern your use of designerINK.co.uk (the “Website”), including any designerINK user account you create, and explain the basis on which designerINK presents and promotes its products.

Please read these Terms carefully before using the Website or creating an account.

By accessing or using the Website, or creating an account, you agree to these Terms.

1. About designerINK

designerINK is a notebook and stationery brand.

designerINK is a trading name of designerINK Ltd.
Company number 17359918
Registered in England and Wales
Registered business address: 71-75, Shelton Street, Covent Garden, London, WC2H 9JQ. UNITED KINGDOM
Email: Hello@designerink.co.uk

Throughout these Terms, “designerINK”, “we”, “us” and “our” refer to the legal entity identified above.

2. What these Terms cover

These Terms govern:

  • your use of designerINK.co.uk;
  • registration and use of a designerINK account;
  • information and content provided through the Website;
  • designerINK notebook and stationery information;
  • links from our Website to Amazon and other third-party services;
  • designerINK intellectual property; and
  • communications between you and designerINK relating to the Website or your account.

designerINK products are currently purchased through third-party marketplaces, primarily Amazon.

The Website itself does not process the retail purchase of designerINK notebooks.

3. Buying designerINK products through Amazon

Where you select a Shop Now, Shop on Amazon or equivalent link, you will leave designerINK.co.uk and be directed to the relevant Amazon marketplace.

The contract for the purchase of that product is formed with the seller identified by Amazon on the relevant product page or during checkout.

Depending on the product, marketplace and availability, Amazon or a third-party seller may be identified as the seller.

The terms, policies and consumer protections applying to that Amazon transaction are therefore determined by:

  • the seller identified in the transaction;
  • Amazon’s applicable marketplace terms;
  • Amazon’s delivery and returns policies; and
  • applicable consumer law.

Creating a designerINK account does not create a retail contract for the purchase of an Amazon product.

4. What designerINK does not control in an Amazon transaction

Unless designerINK is expressly identified as the seller for the relevant transaction, designerINK does not directly:

  • take or process your Amazon payment;
  • receive your full payment-card information;
  • accept your Amazon order;
  • determine the final checkout price;
  • calculate Amazon delivery charges;
  • determine Amazon delivery times;
  • dispatch the Amazon order;
  • process an Amazon cancellation;
  • approve an Amazon return;
  • issue an Amazon refund; or
  • control the customer-service procedures of Amazon or another seller.

Nothing in these Terms affects any statutory rights you may have against the seller.

5. designerINK user accounts

Certain parts or features of designerINK.co.uk may require or allow you to create a user account.

Creating an account is separate from purchasing designerINK products through Amazon.

Your designerINK account may provide access to features such as saved preferences, personalised Website functionality, account-specific content or other services that we introduce from time to time.

We may add, modify or remove account features as the Website develops.

6. Registering an account

When creating an account, you must provide information that is accurate and not deliberately misleading.

You must not:

  • create an account using another person’s identity without permission;
  • impersonate another person or organisation;
  • create accounts for fraudulent or unlawful purposes;
  • attempt to bypass account restrictions; or
  • use automated systems to create large numbers of accounts.

You are responsible for keeping account information reasonably up to date.

7. Age requirements

You must be at least 13 years old to create a designerINK account.

If you are under 18, you should have the permission of a parent or guardian before creating or using an account where required by applicable law.

designerINK products and general Website content may be viewed without an account unless a particular feature states otherwise.

8. Account security

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials and for taking reasonable steps to protect access to your account.

You must not knowingly:

  • disclose your password to another person;
  • allow another person to misuse your account;
  • attempt to obtain another user’s password;
  • access another person’s account without permission; or
  • interfere with authentication or security systems.

If you believe your account has been accessed without permission, please contact us promptly at Hello@designerink.co.uk.

We may take reasonable steps to secure an account, including requiring password resets, ending active sessions or temporarily restricting access.

9. Account availability

We aim to make designerINK accounts available reliably but do not guarantee uninterrupted access.

Account services may occasionally be unavailable because of:

  • maintenance;
  • security updates;
  • hosting problems;
  • technical faults;
  • third-party service failure; or
  • circumstances outside our reasonable control.

10. Suspension or termination of accounts

We may suspend, restrict or terminate an account where reasonably necessary, including where we believe:

  • these Terms have been materially breached;
  • the account is being used fraudulently;
  • the account poses a security risk;
  • the account is being used unlawfully;
  • the account infringes the rights of another person;
  • automated or abusive activity is occurring; or
  • suspension is necessary to protect designerINK, other users or the Website.

Where appropriate and reasonably practicable, we may give the user an opportunity to resolve the issue.

11. Account data and Amazon purchases

Your designerINK Website account is separate from your Amazon account.

We do not require access to your Amazon password or Amazon payment credentials for you to maintain a designerINK account.

Buying a designerINK notebook through Amazon does not give designerINK access to the personal information contained within your Amazon customer account.

12. Prices

Prices displayed on designerINK.co.uk are indicative unless expressly stated otherwise.

Amazon prices may change and may vary according to:

  • marketplace;
  • seller;
  • country;
  • currency;
  • promotions;
  • taxes; and
  • availability.

The price applicable to an Amazon transaction is the price shown by Amazon and the relevant seller when you place your order.

13. Product availability

Products may be introduced, updated, replaced, temporarily unavailable or discontinued.

We do not guarantee that:

  • every product shown on designerINK.co.uk will remain available;
  • every cover will remain in production;
  • every product will be available in every country;
  • Amazon will continue to list a particular product; or
  • a particular seller will continue to offer a product.

14. Product descriptions and images

We take reasonable care to represent designerINK products accurately.

Product photographs, digital mock-ups and renders are intended to provide a reasonable representation of the physical product.

The appearance of a printed notebook may vary slightly because of factors including:

  • differences between screens;
  • display calibration;
  • RGB-to-print colour reproduction;
  • paper characteristics;
  • trimming;
  • binding; and
  • normal manufacturing tolerances.

Nothing in this section reduces any statutory rights applying to products that are faulty, materially misdescribed or otherwise fail to meet applicable legal standards.

15. Delivery

Delivery of products purchased through Amazon is governed by the relevant Amazon transaction.

If an Amazon order is:

  • delayed;
  • lost;
  • damaged in transit;
  • incorrectly delivered; or
  • marked delivered but cannot be located,

you should normally use the customer-service facilities available through the relevant Amazon order.

16. Returns, cancellations and refunds

For products purchased through Amazon, requests concerning:

  • cancellations;
  • returns;
  • refunds;
  • replacements; and
  • damaged or faulty items

should be submitted through the relevant Amazon order or to the seller identified for that transaction.

Nothing in these Terms removes or restricts statutory consumer rights.

17. Product-quality feedback

If a designerINK notebook appears to have a manufacturing or design-related fault, you may also contact us at:

Hello@designerink.co.uk

We welcome product-quality feedback even where Amazon or another seller is responsible for administering the transaction.

Contacting designerINK does not extend any Amazon or seller return deadline.

18. The Pindex System

designerINK notebooks incorporate the Pindex System, a note-organisation and retrieval system designed to help users locate information within their notebooks.

References to:

  • Pindex;
  • the Pindex System;
  • Pinning a note; and
  • related terminology

describe designerINK’s organisation system and associated brand language.

The system is intended as an organisational aid.

designerINK does not guarantee that use of the Pindex System will prevent information from being misplaced, incorrectly indexed, forgotten or otherwise unavailable.

19. Intellectual property

Unless otherwise stated, the Website and its original content are owned by or licensed to designerINK.

This includes, where applicable:

  • notebook cover artwork;
  • notebook interior designs;
  • the visual expression of the Pindex System;

  • photographs;
  • product mock-ups;

  • brand identities;
  • Website graphics; and
  • campaign materials.

Names and identifiers including designerINK, Pindex, Pindex System, Find it. Fast. and associated brand devices may also be protected by registered or unregistered intellectual-property rights.

20. Permitted use

You may access and use designerINK.co.uk for personal and lawful purposes.

Unless permitted by law or authorised by us in writing, you must not:

  • use automated systems to extract substantial quantities of content; or
  • use designerINK’s original creative content as training material for commercial artificial-intelligence or machine-learning systems.

All rights not expressly granted are reserved.

21. User-submitted content

If the Website allows you to submit reviews, comments, images, text or other content, you remain responsible for what you submit.

You must not submit material that:

  • infringes another person’s intellectual-property rights;
  • is unlawful;
  • is fraudulent;
  • is defamatory;
  • contains malware;
  • violates another person’s privacy;
  • constitutes spam; or
  • is deliberately abusive or misleading.

By submitting material for publication on the Website, you grant designerINK a non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to host, display and technically reproduce that material to the extent reasonably necessary to provide the relevant Website feature.

You retain ownership of intellectual-property rights you already hold in your original content.

22. Website analytics

We use Plausible Analytics to understand overall Website usage and improve designerINK.co.uk.

Plausible is designed to provide aggregate Website statistics without using analytics cookies or persistent visitor identifiers.

We do not use Plausible Analytics to build behavioural advertising profiles or track individual users across different websites.

Further information is available in our Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy.

23. Third-party links

The Website may contain links to third-party services including:

  • Amazon;
  • social-media services;
  • video platforms; and
  • other websites.

Those services operate independently from designerINK.

We are not responsible for their content, availability, privacy practices, security, pricing or terms.

24. References to Amazon

Amazon and its related services are operated independently from designerINK.

References to Amazon do not imply sponsorship or endorsement beyond the actual commercial relationship involved.

Amazon and associated trade marks remain the property of their respective owners.

25. Website availability and security

We take reasonable measures intended to maintain the availability and security of designerINK.co.uk.

However, we cannot guarantee that the Website will always be:

  • uninterrupted;
  • error-free;
  • free from every security vulnerability; or
  • available indefinitely in its present form.

We may suspend or modify Website services where reasonably necessary.

26. Liability to consumers

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability where doing so would be unlawful.

In particular, nothing excludes liability for:

  • death or personal injury caused by negligence;
  • fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation; or
  • another liability that cannot legally be excluded.

If you use the Website as a consumer, we are responsible for foreseeable loss caused by our breach of these Terms or our failure to use reasonable care and skill.

27. Business users

If you use the Website wholly or mainly for purposes connected with your trade, business, craft or profession, then, to the fullest extent permitted by law, designerINK will not be liable for:

  • loss of profits;
  • loss of revenue;
  • loss of business;
  • loss of opportunity;
  • loss of anticipated savings;
  • loss of goodwill;

where reasonably necessary.

The latest Terms will be published on this page with an updated revision date.

30. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is found to be unlawful or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue to apply.

31. No waiver

If we do not immediately enforce a provision of these Terms, this does not prevent us from enforcing it later.

These Terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales.

Consumers continue to benefit from any mandatory protections provided by the laws applicable where they live that cannot legally be excluded.

If you are a business user, the courts of England and Wales will have exclusive jurisdiction in relation to disputes arising from these Terms.

Cookie Policy

Last updated: September 2026

This Cookie Policy explains how designerINK.co.uk uses cookies and similar technologies.

It should be read together with our Privacy Policy.

1. Our approach

designerINK aims to minimise tracking and unnecessary use of cookies.

We use Plausible Analytics for Website analytics because it is designed to measure aggregate Website usage without using analytics cookies or persistent visitor tracking.

We may nevertheless use strictly necessary cookies or similar technologies for functions such as:

  • user accounts;
  • authentication;
  • login sessions;
  • Website security; and
  • essential Website operation.

2. What is a cookie?

A cookie is a small piece of information that a website can store on a user’s computer, smartphone or other device.

Cookies may be used to:

  • remember that a user has logged in;
  • maintain a secure session;
  • remember essential settings;
  • protect accounts; or
  • support Website functions.

Privacy law can also apply to other technologies that store or retrieve information from a user’s device.

3. Plausible Analytics

designerINK uses Plausible Analytics to understand overall Website usage.

Plausible’s standard hosted analytics service is designed to operate without analytics cookies.

According to Plausible’s published documentation, its analytics implementation does not use:

  • analytics cookies;
  • browser local storage;
  • browser cache identifiers; or
  • persistent identifiers stored on the visitor’s device.

Plausible does not track individual visitors across unrelated websites or devices.

4. How Plausible measures visits

When a browser requests a Website page, technical information such as the IP address and user-agent information is necessarily included in the network request.

Plausible states that it does not store raw IP addresses or raw user-agent information as visitor records.

Instead, it can generate a temporary identifier used to estimate aggregate unique visitor numbers.

This identifier:

  • is not stored on the visitor’s device;
  • changes on a daily basis;
  • is not designed to identify the visitor personally; and
  • is not designed to track visitors across different websites.

We use the resulting information to understand broad Website trends rather than individual behaviour.

5. What Plausible tells us

Plausible may provide aggregate statistics including:

  • number of visitors;
  • page views;
  • popular pages;
  • referral sources;
  • approximate country;
  • browser category;
  • operating system;
  • device category; and
  • visit trends.

We use this information to improve designerINK.co.uk.

We do not use Plausible data to create advertising profiles of individual visitors.

6. Analytics cookies

designerINK does not use Plausible Analytics cookies.

Therefore, Plausible Analytics itself does not require us to place an analytics cookie on your device.

If we introduce another analytics service in the future, we will review this policy and the applicable consent requirements before enabling it.

7. User-account cookies

designerINK.co.uk now supports user accounts.

To provide account functionality, the Website may use strictly necessary cookies or equivalent technologies for purposes such as:

  • authenticating your account;
  • maintaining a logged-in session;
  • protecting login security;
  • preventing unauthorised access;
  • processing password resets;
  • preventing fraudulent or abusive activity; and
  • maintaining essential Website state.

Without these technologies, account functionality may not work correctly.

8. Why account cookies do not normally require consent

UK privacy rules provide exceptions from cookie consent requirements where storage or access is strictly necessary to provide a service explicitly requested by the user.

For example, where a user asks to log in to their designerINK account, a secure session cookie may be necessary to keep that user authenticated.

We therefore do not request consent for technologies that are genuinely necessary to provide the account or Website service requested by the user.

We do not use the “strictly necessary” category as a way of disguising advertising or behavioural tracking.

9. Security technologies

We may use essential technologies to:

  • defend the Website against attacks;
  • identify suspicious login behaviour;
  • prevent automated abuse;
  • protect user accounts;
  • maintain server sessions; and
  • ensure Website stability.

Where these technologies fall within an applicable legal exception, prior consent is not required.

10. Marketing and advertising cookies

designerINK does not currently rely on Plausible Analytics for behavioural advertising or retargeting.

If we introduce technologies such as:

  • Meta Pixel;
  • TikTok Pixel;
  • Pinterest Tag;
  • Google Ads tracking;
  • behavioural retargeting;
  • cross-site advertising identifiers; or
  • other non-essential marketing technologies,

we will review our consent arrangements before activating them.

Where consent is required, those technologies will remain disabled until the user has made the required choice.

11. Third-party websites

designerINK.co.uk contains links to third-party websites, including Amazon.

Clicking a link to Amazon does not mean Amazon’s cookies are being set by designerINK.co.uk merely because the link appears on our Website.

Once you enter an Amazon website or app, Amazon may use its own cookies and technologies under its own policies.

The same principle applies when following links to social-media platforms and other third-party services.

12. Embedded third-party content

If we introduce embedded content such as:

  • YouTube videos;
  • social-media feeds;
  • external widgets; or
  • interactive third-party services,

the third party may wish to use its own cookies or storage technologies.

Where those technologies require consent, we will take appropriate steps before allowing them to activate.

13. Current cookie categories

designerINK.co.uk is intended to operate using the following categories:

Strictly necessary

Used for:

  • Website operation;
  • security;
  • account authentication;
  • login sessions; and
  • other functions required to provide services requested by users.

Consent required: No, where the applicable statutory exception is satisfied.

Analytics

Provided through Plausible Analytics.

Plausible’s standard analytics implementation does not use analytics cookies or local storage.

Analytics cookie placed by Plausible: No.

Marketing / advertising

Not required for Plausible Analytics.

If marketing or advertising technologies are added separately, they will be treated according to applicable consent requirements.

14. Do we need a cookie banner?

designerINK does not need to ask for consent merely to use:

  • standard cookieless Plausible Analytics; or
  • technologies that are strictly necessary to provide requested Website and account functions.

If we introduce non-essential technologies requiring consent, we will introduce or update our consent-management mechanism accordingly.

This may include options such as:

  • Accept
  • Reject
  • Manage preferences

where required.

15. Managing cookies

Your browser allows you to view, delete or block cookies.

You may choose to block all cookies, but doing so may prevent account functionality from working because login and security processes may depend upon essential session technologies.

Deleting an authentication cookie may sign you out of designerINK.co.uk.

16. Cookie duration

Essential account cookies may be:

  • Session cookies, which ordinarily expire when your browser or session ends; or
  • Persistent authentication or preference cookies, which may remain for a limited period to provide functionality such as remembering a secure login where that feature is offered.

The precise duration depends upon the Website’s authentication configuration.

Cookies should not be retained for longer than reasonably necessary for their purpose.

17. Changes to our use of cookies

We may update the Website’s technology over time.

If we introduce:

  • additional analytics;
  • advertising tracking;
  • social-media tracking;
  • embedded third-party functionality; or
  • another technology materially changing the position described here,

we will review and update this Cookie Policy and any consent mechanism required by law.

18. Changes to this Cookie Policy

The current version of this Cookie Policy will be made available on designerINK.co.uk.

The revision date at the top of the policy identifies when it was last materially reviewed.

19. Contact us

If you have questions about cookies, analytics or Website privacy, contact Hello@designerink.co.uk.

For further information about personal information and user accounts, please see our Privacy Policy.

4. Plausible Analytics

We use Plausible Analytics to understand how designerINK.co.uk is used.

Plausible is a privacy-focused Website analytics service designed to measure aggregate Website traffic without tracking individuals across websites.

Under its standard analytics implementation:

  • analytics cookies are not used;
  • browser local storage is not used for analytics;
  • visitors are not tracked across websites or devices;
  • raw IP addresses are not stored by Plausible;
  • raw user-agent information is not retained as an individual tracking profile;
  • a temporary daily identifier may be generated for aggregate visitor counting;

  • Website analytics data is processed within the European Union.

We use Plausible to understand overall trends such as:

  • page views;
  • popular pages;
  • referral sources;
  • approximate country-level geography;
  • browser and device categories;
  • operating-system categories; and
  • overall Website usage patterns.

We do not use Plausible to:

  • maintain account preferences;
  • secure the account;
  • respond to account enquiries;
  • send necessary service communications;
  • recover or reset account access;
  • prevent fraud or abuse; and
  • administer account closure or deletion requests.

Where processing is necessary to provide the account service you requested, our lawful basis will generally be performance of a contract or taking steps at your request in connection with that service.

For security, fraud prevention and service improvement, we may rely on our legitimate interests where appropriate.

Examples include:

  • material account changes;
  • account administration; and
  • important service information.

These operational messages are separate from marketing.

You may not be able to opt out of essential service communications while maintaining an active account.

7. Marketing communications

Creating a designerINK account does not automatically subscribe you to marketing.

Where consent is required, we will obtain an appropriate positive choice before sending promotional email communications.

Marketing may include:

  • new notebook releases;
  • new collections;
  • promotions;
  • designerINK news;
  • product updates; and
  • campaigns.

You can unsubscribe at any time using the link provided in our marketing emails or by contacting Hello@designerink.co.uk.

We may retain limited suppression information after an unsubscribe request so that we continue to respect your preference.

8. Amazon purchases

designerINK notebooks are primarily sold through Amazon.

When you follow a link from designerINK.co.uk to Amazon, you enter a separately operated service.

Amazon and the seller identified in the relevant transaction may collect information including:

  • your name;
  • Amazon account details;
  • payment information;
  • billing information;
  • delivery address;
  • purchase history; and
  • order information.

That processing is governed by their own privacy information.

designerINK does not receive:

  • your complete payment-card information;
  • your Amazon password;
  • your complete Amazon customer profile; or
  • your complete delivery information

simply because you purchase a designerINK notebook through Amazon.

Your designerINK Website account and Amazon account are separate.

9. Lawful bases

Depending upon the purpose, we may process personal information on one or more of the following bases.

Contract

Where processing is necessary to:

  • create and provide your designerINK account;
  • provide a feature you requested;
  • administer that account; or
  • take requested steps in connection with the service.

Legitimate interests

Where reasonably necessary for purposes such as:

  • securing our Website;
  • preventing abuse;
  • responding to enquiries;
  • administering the business;
  • improving Website functionality;
  • protecting our intellectual property; or
  • establishing or defending legal rights.

We consider whether these interests are overridden by the rights and interests of individuals before relying upon them.

Consent

Where applicable, including for certain forms of electronic marketing.

You can withdraw consent at any time.

Legal obligation

Where processing is necessary to comply with a legal or regulatory requirement.

10. Who we share information with

  • security providers;
  • Website developers or technical-support providers;
  • Plausible Analytics;
  • professional advisers;
  • insurers;
  • regulators;
  • courts; and
  • law-enforcement bodies where legally required.

Providers processing personal information on our behalf should be subject to appropriate contractual and security obligations.

11. Plausible Analytics as a service provider

Plausible Analytics is provided by Plausible Insights OÜ, based in Estonia.

For Website analytics collected through the Plausible service on our behalf, Plausible acts as a service provider/data processor according to its published privacy documentation.

Plausible states that Website visitor analytics data is processed within the European Union and is not used for advertising, profiling or monetisation.

12. Third-party services

designerINK.co.uk may contain links to third-party services including:

  • Amazon;
  • Instagram;
  • Facebook;
  • TikTok;
  • Pinterest;
  • LinkedIn;
  • YouTube; and
  • other services.

If you follow one of these links, the third party’s privacy terms will apply to its service.

13. International transfers

Some service providers used by designerINK may process information outside the United Kingdom.

Where a restricted transfer occurs, we will use an appropriate lawful mechanism where required, which may include:

  • UK adequacy regulations;
  • the UK International Data Transfer Agreement;
  • an approved UK contractual Addendum; or
  • another mechanism permitted by UK data-protection law.

Plausible states that visitor analytics data collected through its hosted analytics service remains within the European Union.

14. Account passwords and authentication

We take account security seriously.

Where passwords are used, we expect them to be handled using appropriate modern security practices rather than stored in readable plain text.

Our Story

It all started with
a lost note.

Somewhere in a notebook was something we needed. We remembered writing it down. Finding it again was another story.

That frustration became the starting point for designerINK. We wanted a notebook that felt good to use and made it easier to return to the things inside it.

Good ideas deserve a way back.

Writing something down is only part of its usefulness. The next part comes when you need it again: to act on a plan, remember a detail or carry an idea forward.

That's why we created notebooks with our Pindex System. A little structure to help the things you capture stay useful.

Personal, from the first page.

We included a dedication page because a notebook can mean something before the first note is written. A few personal words can turn it into a thoughtful gift, mark a new beginning or remind you why you started.

We wanted the pages that follow to feel right for you too. Lined for thoughts that flow in sentences and lists. Dot grid for plans, sketches and ideas that take their own shape.

Find a cover that feels like you.

A notebook is something you carry, reach for and spend time with. We wanted its cover to have personality too.

Expressive artwork. A choice of page layouts. Space for whatever you're thinking.

That's designerINK: somewhere to put your ideas, and a way to find them again.

Ready to find the one that's yours?

Twenty designs. Two layouts.
One Pindex to rule them all.
