Computer files supplied to us to be used in the production of work and/or printed work are suitable for the purpose for which they are intended, and that you "pre-flight" and thoroughly check those files to ensure their suitability.

In such circumstances Colour Palette will still apply surcharges, but will not be bound by any guarantee.

If we are required to deliver goods you shall:

Accept delivery of goods when tendered;
Be charged for that delivery unless the price agreed for the work includes delivery charges, although you shall always be charged extra for expedited delivery;
Ensure that the goods are adequately insured during transit, although if you so desire we will arrange such insurance with the carrier on your behalf but in doing so we will be deemed to be acting as your agent;

Liability arising from delay:

Any times or dates given for completion or delivery of goods shall be binding on COLOUR PALETTE, insofar as COLOUR PALETTE any goods not supplied on time, will entitle you to a 'credit'. Such liability shall not extend to delays beyond the control of COLOUR PALETTE including, without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing defects in files or omissions of information delays in approval of work and non-performance of carriers.
