Purpose of the ReadyPrint Plan
READYPRINT PLAN IS AVAILABLE TO CONSUMERS for private, personal and non-commercial use only. Any different use or commercial exploitation of the ReadyPrint Plan is not allowed.
The aim of the ReadyPrint Plan is for you to print the agreed number of pages according to your ReadyPrint Plan. Epson endeavors that the required ink to print those pages will be delivered to you before the existing one will run out. However, Epson cannot and does not guarantee that this aim will always be achieved. In particular, variations in the rate at which ink is used and delays in postal services may mean that sometimes the new ink product(s) will only arrive after the existing cartridge is exhausted. If you expect to print more than what you normally have been doing or if your continuity of printing is of critical importance to you, you are recommended to keep a spare set of cartridges with your Device at all times.
The Subscription Consumables will be sent to the address you have indicated for your subscription which will also be reported in your ReadyPrint Plan dedicated web page. The Subscription Consumables provided may be used by you only in the Device(s) for which they are provided.
When registering as ReadyPrint Flex user, the number of pages printed by you with the setup or existing cartridges (i.e. bundled or purchased before registering to ReadyPrint Flex) will not be deducted from your ReadyPrint Plan. You are allowed to carry over the number of pages included in your ReadyPrint Plan that remained unused for the following two months. For environmental reasons, you are advised to make use of those cartridges until they have run out of ink. In the event you install the Subscription Cartridges before the ink of those cartridges have run out, you will be always able to use them in the future.
If Epson is of the reasonable opinion or reasonably suspects that you are abusing the purpose of the ReadyPrint Plan in any way or otherwise violating any of the terms of the ReadyPrint Plan, we may terminate this agreement before expiry of the Term by sending you an e-mail notification at the agreed e-mail address.
