Kianhongpress.com is owned and operated by Kian Hong Press, a company registered in Singapore (business registered number 52971872C) shall be referred to herein as, a “The Printer”.

The Price Variation

Estimates are based on current costs of production and unless otherwise agreed are subject to amendment on or at any time after acceptance to meet any reasonable rise or fall in such costs.

Tax

The printer is not a GST registered and will not include tax in the billing.

Copy

Where any additional work of whatever nature is necessary as a result of copy supplied by a customer not being clear and/or legible, we shall be entitled to make additional charges on a time and materials basis to cover such additional work.

Preliminary Work

All work carried out, whether experimentally or otherwise, at customer’s request shall be charged.

Artwork

A charge may be made to cover any additional work involved where artwork/copy supplied is not clear and legible or electronic files supplied are damaged or otherwise unsuitable.

Proofs

Proofs of all work may be submitted for customer’s approval and the printer shall incur no liability for any errors not corrected by the customer in proofs so submitted. Customer’s alterations and additional proofs necessitated thereby shall be charged extra. When style, type or layout is left to the printer’s judgement, changes therefrom made by the customer shall be charged extra.

Delivery

If required, in whole or in part (e.g. as samples), delivery is chargable extra to the price.

Payment

Unless a full or partial (50%) credit account has been setup and authorised by the printer, all work must be paid for in advance of delivery or collection.

Quantity

Every endeavour will be made to deliver the correct quantity ordered, but estimates are conditional upon margins of 5% for work in black and 10% for work involving colour being allowed for over or shortage to be charged or deducted from the price.

Claims

Advice of damage, delay or partial loss of goods in transit or of non-delivery must be given in writing to the printer and the carrier within three clear days of delivery (or, in the case of non-delivery, within 28 days of dispatch of the goods) and any claim in respect thereof must be made in writing to the printer and the carrier within seven clear days of delivery (or, in the case of non-delivery, within 42 days of dispatch). All other claims must be made in writing to the printer within 28 days of delivery. The printer shall not be liable in respect of any claim unless the aforementioned requirements have been complied with except in any particular case where the customer proves that (a) it was not possible to comply with the requirements and (b) advice (where required) was given and the claim made as soon as reasonably possible.

Liability

The printer shall not be liable for any loss to the customer arising from delay in transit not caused by the printer.

Property

Standing material owned by the printer and used by him in the production (e.g. plates, film etc., or as electronic files created to complete the job) shall remain his exclusive property. Such items when supplied by the customer shall remain the customer’s property. Unless otherwise advised by the customer, the printer will (as a service to the customer) retain all such materials (electronic or otherwise) associated with the job for a reasonable length of time for which there is usually no charge.

Materials supplied by the customer

The printer may reject any paper or other materials supplied or specified by the customer which appear to him to be unsuitable. Additional cost incurred if materials are found to be unsuitable during production may be charged. Where materials are so supplied or specified, the printer will take every care to secure the best results, but responsibility will not be accepted for imperfect work caused by defects in or unsuitability of materials so supplied or specified. Quantities of materials supplied shall be adequate to cover normal spoilage.

Insolvency

If the customer ceases to pay his debts in the ordinary course of business or cannot pay his debts as they become due or being a company is deemed to be unable to pay its debts or has a winding-up petition issued against it or being a person commits an act of bankruptcy or has a bankruptcy petition issued against him, the printer without prejudice to other remedies shall: a) have the right not to proceed further with the contract or any other work for the customer and be entitled to charge for work already carried out (whether completed or not) and materials purchases for the customer, such charge to be an immediate debt due to him, and (b) in respect of all unpaid debts due from the customer shall be entitled on the expiration of 14 days’ notice to dispose of such goods or property in such manner and at such price as he thinks fit and to apply the proceeds towards such debts.

Illegal Matter

The printer shall not be required to print any matter which in his option is or may be of an illegal or libellous nature or an infringement of the proprietary or other rights of any third party. The printer shall be indemnified by the customer in respect of any claims, cost and expenses arising out of any libellous matter or any infringement of copyright, patent, design or of any other proprietary or personal rights contained in any material printed for the customer. The indemnity shall extend to any amounts paid on a lawyer’s advice in settlement of any claim.

Full Colour Printing

All reasonable efforts shall be made to obtain the best possible colour reproduction on customer’s work but variation is inherent in the print process and it is understood and accepted as reasonable that, the printer shall not be required to guarantee an exact match in colour or texture between the customer’s photograph, transparency, proof, electronic graphic file, previously printed matter (whether printed by the printer or other party) or any other materials supplied by the customer and the printed article the subject of the customer’s order.

Force Majeure

During the continuance of such a contingency the customer may by written notice to the printer elect to terminate the contract and pay for work done and materials used, but subject thereto shall otherwise accept delivery when available.

Law

These conditions and all other express terms of the contract shall be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of Republic of Singapore.
