  1.

Additional charges shall be made for any additional proofs that are required as a result of alterations required by the customer. When style, type or layout is left to the KandyOffset's discretion, any subsequent changes to such style, type or layout required by the customer shall be subject to additional charges on a time and materials basis.

    1. These services rely on the customer not delaying the progress of the order in any way (which delays include but are not limited to the customer not returning proofs by the time specified by the KandyOffset or failing to make payment by the time such payment is due) (a "Customer Delay").
    2. Should expedited delivery be agreed the KandyOffset shall be entitled to make additional charges on a time and materials basis to cover any overtime or any other additional costs involved, including without limitation, the cost of couriers or special delivery post.

  9. Materials supplied by the customer -
    1. The KandyOffset may reject any paper, plates or other materials supplied or specified by the customer which it considers to be unsuitable. Additional cost incurred if materials are found to be unsuitable during production may be charged except that if the whole or any part of such additional cost could have been avoided but for unreasonable delay by the KandyOffset in ascertaining the unsuitability of the materials then that amount shall not be charged to the customer.
    2. KandyOffset shall have no liability in respect of any work being of less than reasonably satisfactory quality as a result of defects in or the unsuitability of materials supplied or specified by the customer.
    3. KandyOffset shall assume that quantities of materials supplied shall be adequate to cover normal spoilage accordingly if the quantities of materials supplied are not sufficient to cover normal spoilage ("an Insufficient Supply") then the KandyOffset shall have no liability for any shortfall in quantity to the extent that such shortfall arises as a result of such Insufficient Supply.
  10. Credit terms - For invoices not settled within the agreed credit terms, KandyOffset reserves the right to charge interest on the overdue debt at 2% above the base rate at the time and an administration fee to cover its debt recovery costs.
  11. Full colour printing - All reasonable efforts shall be made to obtain the best possible colour reproduction on customer's work but variation is inherent in the print process and it is understood and accepted as reasonable that, the KandyOffset shall not be required to guarantee an exact match in colour or texture between the customer's photograph, transparency, proof, electronic graphic file, previously printed matter (whether printed by KandyOffset or other party) or any other materials supplied by the customer and the printed article the subject of the customer's order.
  12. Data Protection - By placing an order with the KandyOffset, the customer consents to its details being passed on to our Head Office for accounting and marketing purposes.
