1. Basis for processing orders. 

Orders are processed on the basis of:

a) materials provided by the customer, which should comply with the requirements as set forth in the technical specification.

We reserve the right to refuse to process an order, if objections arise as to the quality of the provided production materials, lack of diligence in their preparation or failure to comply with our technical requirements.

Materials in formats other than specified may be acceptable subject to prior arrangements.

b) An order submitted by a Customer shall include the following:

  • order date,
  • invoice details,
  • contact details for the person in charge of handling the order on the side of the customer (the ordering party):
  • name, surname, telephone number, e-mail address,

3. Order lead times. 

A precise and binding order delivery time shall be determined once we receive all production materials and following the customer’s approval of test prints.
Order lead times also depend on the current workload.
Goods may be delivered even within 1 working day. However, the given courier company is responsible for observing delivery times. Therefore, Karoprint shall not be liable for late deliveries attributable to the courier company.

  • equipment breakdowns, energy or water supply interruptions,

  • natural disasters,
    at Karoprint or at plants which are performing particular stages of an order, we shall not be liable for the consequences of changes to order completion dates.

4. Delivery and collection.

6. Quality control of your finished goods. 

Quality control of your finished goods should be performed at the customer’s address (or at any other location convenient for the customer).
Karoprint does not permit print quality control to take place within its premises.

 

7. Quality Control. 

a) Complaints shall be considered within 7 days of delivering the goods subject to the complaint to Karoprint.

b) In most cases, production defects cannot be remedied. Thus, justified complaints shall be settled by producing the goods and services subject to the complaint once again or by a refund of the amount paid for the goods and services subject to the complaint within 14 days of complaint acceptance.

c) The ordering party shall deliver the goods subject to the complaint to Karoprint’s address at its own cost.

d) If the complaint is to be settled by a subsequent performance of the order and production of goods free of defects, then the goods shall be sent to the customer at Karoprint’s cost.

e) Subsequent production of the goods and services subject to the complaint is only possible once payment for the goods in question has been settled in full.

f) The only basis for a complaint pertaining to colours of materials printed using CMYK colours is a cromalin proof. Failure to provide a template print precludes any option of submitting complaints pertaining to the colour scheme printed using the CMYK colour model.

g) The only basis justifying a complaint pertaining to data written on a CD / DVD are differences between data on the master disc and the produced copies thereof.

In practice, this means that:

  • if files to be written are delivered via e-mail or ftp, any complaints pertaining to the content of discs are groundless (there is no master copy)if files to be written are delivered via e-mail or ftp, any complaints pertaining to the content of discs are groundless (there is no master copy)
