In such an event, any outstanding amount will immediately become due and payable to North and Third.

PROOFING

Color proofing: Because of the differences in equipment, processing, proofing substrates, paper, inks, pigments and other conditions between color proofing and production pressroom operations, a reasonable variation in color between color proofs and the completed job shall constitute acceptable delivery.

Pre-press proofs: Pre-press proofs in the form of bound proofs, assembled by printer as per the specifications in the quotation and based on customer’s supplied press ready artwork, shall be sent to customer for approval before the onset of production. The bound proofs are meant to represent what the final product would look like as closely as possible for color, sizing, materials, finishing and binding. Any necessary revisions to content shall be approved based on revised content resubmitted b the customer and digital PDF proof(s) returned to customer for approval. If quality deficiencies of the proof are found that vary from the quotation specifications or are a result of printer error, a new bound proof may be created by the printer and resent to customer. Decision to do so will be considered on an order by order basis. Written approval via email will be accepted as customer approval for printer to proceed to production. With approval of bound proof, customer acknowledges that on final production printer will match as close as reasonably possible to customer approved bound proof.

PRODUCTION SCHEDULES

Production schedules will be established and adhered to by customer and Company provided that neither shall incur any liability or penalty for delays due to state of war, riot, civil disorder, fire, labor trouble, strikes, accidents, energy failure, equipment breakdown, delays of supplier and carriers, action of government of civil authority and acts of nature or other causes beyond the control of customer or Company. Where production schedules are not adhered to by the customer, final delivery date(s) will be subject to negotiations.

DELIVERY

Unless otherwise specified, quotations do not include shipping and delivery. Delivery is weight based on final bulk packed cartons using the daily rates provided by couriers for various transport options.

PAYMENT, EXTRA COSTS & CANCELLATIONS

Approval of the proof by the customer constitutes acceptance of the proof as it is or with any agreed upon revisions, and North and Third will proceed to print and match as close as reasonably possible to the proof during production. After proof approval the customer is responsible for paying the entire amount of the print order, unless otherwise agreed upon in advance.
