1. Quotations

1.2 Quotations do not include delivery, freight or postage unless specified.

1.2 APM requires the customer’s written approval to charge postage incurred to the customer’s account with Australia Post.

1.4 APM will not commence production until the customer accepts the quotation by signing and returning the signed quotation to APM by Email or Post.

1.5 Quotations may only be accepted as a whole. If the customer requires only component parts of a quotation, APM will quote the required parts separately.

2. Variations and Additional Costs

2.1 Quotations are based on the customer’s requirements including an agreed delivery timeframe (critical deadline requirements may incur overtime charges). APM will charge at current rates for any additional costs incurred or work required as a result of any variation to the quotation.

2.2 APM’s quotations are based on the commencement of work within one month of the customer’s acceptance of APM’s quotation. If the work does not commence within this one-month period, APM may (by written notice) cancel the quotation and re-quote the work.
2.3 The quoted prices are exclusive of GST. In addition to payment of the prices quoted, the customer must pay APM an amount equal to any GST imposed on Taxable Supplies made by APM to the customer.

2.4 Where materials supplied by the customer do not correspond with those upon which the quotation is based, APM may treat the job as involving a variation of APM’s quotation.

2.5 Where APM incurs costs resulting from delays caused by poor quality or a shortage of inserts or other materials to be provided by the customer (including an inadequate allowance for spoilage requirements in the manufacturing process) APM may charge the customer at APM’s current rates.

2.6 APM reserves the right to correct any error in the quotation whether technical, typographical or otherwise.

2.7 The customer may cancel an order at any time by notice in writing, but the customer remains liable for all work performed and materials supplied to the customer or acquired by APM for the customer prior to cancellation, at our current rates. APM may charge for the handling or storage of materials supplied by the customer or on the customer’s behalf.

3. Electronic Files and Job

3.1 If a quotation is subject to any artwork files to be supplied by the customer or their agent, such file is deemed to be print-ready. Should adjustments be required the file will be returned to the customer or corrected by APM and charged at the current hourly rates.

3.2 Hard colour samples supplied by the customer will not be used for colour referencing or matching. Whilst all care is taken, print colour may vary from print to reprint, stock to stock and job to job. Therefore APM accepts no responsibility for these colour variations in differentiating printing processes or stocks.

The intellectual property subsisting in any software or other material developed by APM for providing services and/or goods to or for the customer will be owned by APM provided that the customer will have a non-exclusive royalty-free license to use that software or other materials to the extent necessary to enable the customer to use the services and/or goods provided by APM.
