3. ACCOUNT AND ACCOUNT USE
If your use of the Website requires an account identifying you as a user of the Website (an "Account'):

4. PAYMENT
When you make a purchase on the Website, you agree to provide a valid instrument to make a payment.

instrument. When you make a payment, you authorize us (and our designated payment processor) to charge the full amount to the payment instrument you designate for the transaction. You also authorize us to collect and store that funding instrument, along with other related transaction information. If you pay by credit or debit card, we may obtain a pre-approval from the issuer of the card for an amount as high as the full price.

We may cancel any transaction if we believe the transaction violates these Terms, or if we believe doing so may prevent financial loss.

f. It is expected that a decision regarding test pressings will be given to the Supplier within 48 hours of receipt of the test pressings, after which time the final delivery date will be adjusted.
8. DEFECTS LIABILITY
a. The Customer shall inspect the Products immediately upon delivery. In respect of damage which could have been caused during transportation and which such a reasonable inspection would reveal the Customer must deliver to the supplier a shipping document executed by both the Customer and a representative of the shipping agent stating the nature and scope of the damage.

i. such defects shall be found to have arisen solely from the Supplier's faulty design, workmanship or materials,
ii. the defective Products shall be returned to the Supplier's factory for the Supplier's own inspection at the Supplier's expense and in the way determined by the Supplier, if so requested by the Supplier (particularly if the samples of the Products, which were kept by the Supplier, are not defective), and
iii. the claimed defect was not within the Source materials sample, artwork, data, material or documentation approved by the Customer or provided by the Customer, and
iv. the percentage of Products under complaint claimed is greater than 1% of the total number of units delivered.
f. Alternatively to Condition 8e, the Supplier shall be entitled at its absolute discretion to refund the reasonable part of price of the defective goods in the event that such price shall already have been paid by the Customer to the Supplier, or, if such price has not been so paid, to relieve the Customer of the obligation to pay the same by the issue of a credit note in favour of the Customer in the amount of such part of price.
g. The Supplier shall not be liable for:
i. defects which only insignificantly impair the use of the Products;
ii. insubstantial deviations of the Products from specification;
iii. natural wear and tear;
iv. damage, arising after the transfer of risk; or
v. from faulty or negligent handling, excessive strain, use of unsuitable appurtenances, or particular external influences not explicitly assumed to impact on the Products.
h. Print Material limitations
i. Print will commonly be darker than the proofs as the art is back lit by the screen of the computer it is displayed on. If there are RGB and CMYK elements in the supplied files the RGB elements are converted to CMYK in the proofs and on the press - color shift may occur.
ii. The proofs output from the Customer’s supplied artwork files represent what will go to print. The artwork files are considered to be in final print ready form with no need for modifications. If the PDF proof the client receives is not an exact reproduction of the intended final output, the customer must reject the proofs. The Supplier is not responsible for any errors and/or omissions once approved. PDF proofs are for confirmation of layout and text accuracy only and are not for the evaluation of color. Computer monitors do not provide color accuracy or true representation of color values in artwork files supplied. Color variation between the electronic proofs and the final product will occur and does not qualify as a manufacturing defect.
iii. Color warranty is ONLY available with signed, approved hard-copy color match proofs, supplied and delivered at the Customer’s expense. If a color match proof is ordered, up to 10% color variation is not considered a defect and is deemed acceptable within industry standards and norms.
iv. Print Material refers to all center labels, printed inner sleeves, printed jackets, inserts, download cards, and promotional stickers.
i. The Supplier's liability under this Condition shall be to the exclusion of all other liability to the Customer whether contractual, tortious or otherwise for defects in the goods or for any loss or damage to or caused by the goods. All other conditions, warranties, stipulations or other statements whatsoever concerning the goods, whether express or implied, by statute, at common law or otherwise howsoever, are hereby excluded to the fullest extent allowed by law; in particular (but without limitation of the foregoing) the Supplier grants no warranties regarding the fitness for purpose, performance, use, nature or quality of the goods, whether express or implied, by statute, at common law or otherwise howsoever. The Supplier shall not be liable if the Customer or a third party carries out modifications or repairs of the Products.
j. The Supplier is entitled to be reimbursed for expenses or damage incurred during the examination of a Customer’s claim (for example travel or shipping expenses) if the claim proves unjustified.
9. WARRANTY
a. The Supplier warrants that the final product will not deviate materially from the test pressings.
b. Test pressings are always provided at standard weight and black vinyl
c. Test pressings are used to evaluate the fidelity of the pressing to the source audio.

ii. Faults originating from errors in lacquer cutting, stamper forming, or vinyl pressing, as solely determined by the Supplier, will be corrected at the Suppliers’ cost and timetable.
iii. Faults originating from the playback equipment used by the Customer will not be considered for evaluation or correction.
iv. In case of disagreement between 9.c.ii and 9.c.iii, the Customer will be invited to hear playback of the test pressings at the Supplier’s listening room.
