Products

We reserve the right to alter without notice minor details or design of Goods which do not materially change their character or value. We believe we have accurately described the Goods in the Company’s catalogues and websites, however, all illustrations contained in the Company’s catalogues, brochures, websites, advertisements or price lists are approximate only and are intended to give a general idea of the Goods described therein. These images shall not form part of the Contract and do not necessarily indicate that we have supplied the item to the owners of the logo or design or that company or that that the owner of the logo or design has endorsed the product concerned. No warranty is given as to accuracy and no responsibility will be accepted for error or mis-description and any resulting loss. If there is a particular aspect of the description of the Goods on which you intend to rely, you must advise us of that in writing before we confirm your order.

Artwork and Printing

When Goods are to be custom printed, we will send you artwork of your customised Goods requesting your approval via email and this must be checked thoroughly by you. You must notify us of any discrepancy in the artwork or Order as we will not accept any liability of any post-completion errors or omissions. No production will take place until we have received in writing your “signed off” approval of the artwork and the Order.

The prices shown in our brochures and websites usually include artwork and printing charges. Where prices do not include artwork and/or printing charges this will be clearly stipulated. The advertised prices are subject to change and will be confirmed in the Order.

Where you provide the artwork or design for us to use you warrant that you are entitled to use that artwork or design and either own the copyright or are entitled to use it and will indemnify us against all claims made by third parties. In order to print efficiently from the artwork you supply it may be necessary to adjust or redraw your artwork and you will be advised of the changes made.

Where you have asked us to create artwork or designs for you, we retain the copyright in such artwork and designs unless we agree in writing that you have acquired its ownership. We reserve the right to use your logo or advertisement in our brochures unless otherwise instructed in writing.

Order Changes and Cancellations

We will make every effort, upon receipt of your request in writing, to change or cancel your Order.

Please note that once you approve any artwork, production of your Order may start immediately (regardless of whether you have paid for your Order). If production of your Order has started, there will be additional charges to change or cancel your Order. The charge will be based on work carried out up to the date of notification and the cost of materials no longer usable elsewhere. Any increase in the Order quantity will need to be regarded as a separate contract, potentially with a separate delivery date, unless written notification is received before work has commenced. ). If production of your Order has not yet started, no additional charges will be applied.

Delivery and Lead Times

When lead times are given, they will be deemed to commence at the date and time that we receive in writing, an order confirmation from the Purchaser or when artwork is involved, a”signed off” approval of the artwork that we supplied to the Purchaser. Every effort will be made to agree a mutually convenient delivery date and to deliver on time, but any delivery day or lead-time specified is a best estimate made by us in good faith and shall not be binding upon us as a term of the Contract or otherwise. Time of delivery is not of the essence for the purposes of the Contract and no liability is accepted for any loss arising from delay or error in the delivery of the Goods. The Company’s delay in delivery of the Goods shall not by itself entitle the Purchaser to terminate or rescind the Contract.

We can in most circumstances arrange special express deliveries of Goods, but this service will usually be subject to additional charges to you. We cannot guarantee that such express deliveries will be delivered on the agreed date and we not accept liability for any loss or damage arising from the delay or error in the delivery of such Goods.

Goods shall be signed for on receipt. Any alleged damage, shortages or discrepancies must be clearly highlighted on the delivery note and then notified via email to sales@redstrawberry.co.uk or phone to Red Strawberry Solutions Ltd. within 24 hours of receipt of the goods.
