Terms of Trade

1. The Buyer shall be responsible for testing and determining the suitability of the material for the purpose for which it’s intended to be used.
2. Payment is required prior to production or as per agreed terms. Any deposits paid are non-refundable once the order has been confirmed. Visa/Mastercard payments are accepted and there will be a 1.5% surcharge for credit card payments.
3. Tolerances – Please note that a tolerance of 1-3mm in sizing must be allowed for and accepted. Final quantities manufactured may vary up to +/- 10% (overruns / underruns) and will be charged out accordingly.
4. Artwork Proofs – Once artwork has been finalised we will send you an electronic proof for checking. This must be approved before production will begin. If there are any changes to be made you must convey the changes in written form only. Whilst all reasonable care is taken in preparation of final artwork approvals, the final artwork that is approved by you is your responsibility. You will need to check the placement and layout of all text and images, as well as the measurements of your product. This includes any special features required.
5. Colours – Please note that the colours on paper proofs (or seen on computer screens) may vary to final print results. This is due to different materials being used in production. All colours will be printed as per the artwork supplied to us (either CMYK / PMS colours). If you need to match a specific colour we will request the exact PMS colour or a physical sample to be provided, noting variation may still occur relative to the machines and substrates the final product will be produced on.
6. Samples – Any locally made “Mock-Up” samples are acknowledged to be indicative in nature, and noted that there will be differences to that of the commercially produced product due to the stock and processes being different to those used to produce a mock up sample.  If a production sample is required it will be an additional cost and add additional time onto the total production time.
7. Plates –  Are a once off set up cost on an initial order, it will not be chargeable on reprints within the life-span of the plates ( unless an Artwork change is required ). If the plates are not re-used in a 12month period, new plates will be required.   ( For cylinders the total number of colours/ plates is to be confirmed during the artwork approval. If no repeat orders within 12months the plates will expire ).  Plates and tooling are not transferable to another supplier.
8. Freight – Freight must be paid at customer’s expense unless otherwise arranged.  Where addition to orders, or a request to expedite / airfreight items is requested – any additional applicable freight variable will be calculated based on weight and volume of the goods and the relative freight options available at the time of requirement.
9. Lead Time – lead times vary depending on the product and will be advised on the time of quoting.  It is to be noted that the lead time does not commence until both approved artwork and any required payment/deposit has been received by Star Stuff Group.  If a production sample is ordered this is separate to the lead-time to the commercial production order.
