The customer shall be responsible for obtaining all necessary authorities and consents to reproduce pictures, artwork, photographs, copyright text, fonts and/or any other reproducible materials (“Materials”) prior to instructing the Nettl reseller to reproduce the same. The customer shall indemnify and hold Nettl of America LLC and the Nettl reseller and their agents and representatives harmless against all claims, demands, actions, costs, expenses (including but not limited to legal costs and disbursements), losses and damages arising from or suffered or incurred by reason of any claim (including but not limited to the defence of such claim) that the reproduction of the Materials by Nettl of America LLC or the Nettl reseller infringes the intellectual property or other rights of any third party or misuses the confidential information of a third party.
Company imprint – Unless otherwise specifically requested in writing any work may carry the Nettl imprint which will be positioned at the Nettl reseller’s discretion.
Delivery and payment – Turnaround is measured in Working Days, defined as days on which the clearing banks in the City of London are open for normal business. For orders made on a Guaranteed Turnaround service (being orders guaranteed to be ready within a certain period (the “Guaranteed Period”)), delivery (as more particularly described in paragraph 6(a) below) will be made no later than 10pm on the last Working Day of the Guaranteed Period. Should the Nettl reseller fail to deliver within the Guaranteed Period (see also paragraph 7 Variations in quantity), a service “credit” will be awarded up to the value of the order in question (redeemable against future orders within 6 months of issue of the Credit in question) (the “Credit”). The customer will still be obliged to pay in full for the order in respect of which delivery was late, including any of the sums charged specifically for the provision of the Guaranteed Turnaround Service (“the Premium Charges”). Where the late delivery is as the result of the action or inaction of a third party, such as a carrier, the Nettl reseller, at their absolute discretion, may elect to extend the Turnaround by one Working Day and the customer shall not be awarded a Credit during this time. These services rely on the customer not delaying the progress of the order in any way in the event of a customer delay the customer shall not be awarded a Credit and the Nettl reseller shall not be bound to deliver within the Guaranteed Period. In addition:(a) Delivery of printed work and other tangible items by the Nettl reseller shall be deemed to take place upon collection of the work by the customer (where the customer is obliged to collect the work) or (where the Nettl reseller is obliged to deliver the work) actual delivery of the work to the customer by the Nettl reseller. Where the customer is obliged to collect the work, customer’s failure to collect the work on the day on which the Nettl reseller is contractually obliged to have it ready for collection shall be classed as a customer delay. Where the Nettl reseller is obliged to deliver the work to the customer but the customer provides the Nettl reseller with incomplete or incorrect delivery information or is not available to accept delivery, then provided that the Nettl reseller has used reasonable endeavours to deliver the work to the customer, a failed delivery shall be classed as a customer delay. Delivery of digital work is considered to occur once placed on a server for the customer’s approval and once approved the Nettl reseller shall endeavour to make the digital work live within one working day (unless requested otherwise by the customer).
(b) Unless otherwise specified the price quoted is for collection of the work from the Nettl reseller, a charge may be made to cover any extra costs involved for delivery to a different address.

(c) Should work be suspended at the request of, or delayed through any default of the customer, for a period of 30 days or more the Nettl reseller shall then be entitled to payment for work already carried out, materials specially ordered and other additional costs including storage.

(d) Risk of loss of or damage to work completed by the Nettl reseller shall pass to the customer on delivery.

Variations in quantity – Every endeavour will be made to deliver the correct quantity ordered. However some variation is inherent in the print process and it is understood and accepted as reasonable that minor variations are immaterial and acceptable up to 4% and that the Nettl reseller shall have no liability in respect of such variations. For shortages greater than 4% and less than 25% the Nettl reseller’s entire liability will be to award a Credit of x – 4% pro rata to the value of the order where x = the shortage e.g. a shortage of 15% will receive credit of 11% of the value of the order. The Customer’s sole remedy in respect of shortages above 25% (“Additional Shortages”) will be a re-print of the entire shortage quantity of the relevant work, to be undertaken by the Nettl reseller within a reasonable period of time. The Customer shall not be entitled to a Credit in respect of an Additional Shortage.
