SECTION 20 - EVENT BRANDING TERMS OF SERVICE

Cancellations:

At any time you can cancel your order with us, any costs incurred will be chargeable.

Any deposits or funds paid will be held as credit towards future events or projects. An amount will be agreed after cancelation about the costs incurred upto the point of cancellation which will determine the value of the credit.

Credits must be used within 6 months of the date you notify us of cancellation.

Events cancelled within 30 working days of the event do not qualify for any refunds or credit used towards future projects, any funds outstanding are due within 7 days of cancellation. Failure to pay this by midnight on 7th day (whether a weekday, weekend or holiday) will incur a 10% late payment fee and 5% interest every month thereafter.

We prepare project timelines for all our events, which may be a PDF project pipeline, or may be provided by email, or can also be shared by phone or in person contact to provide key dates where certain actions are required by the client.

Syne Signs holds the right to take any and all of the following actions in the instance where a client fails to meet the stated deadlines. Syne Signs has the right to: - Charge additional fees in order to meet the original deadline. These fees are decided on a case by case basis and are calculated solely by Syne Signs. Refusal to pay these fees will result in the cancellation of your order with no refunds available or obligation to complete the project. The value of all works already begun will always be non-refundable. - Charges will be incurred in full for all required tools, equipment, travel costs and installation team that cannot be cancelled as a result of a missed deadline. Tools and equipment costs might include scaffold towers, cherry pickers and specialist ladders etc. Travel costs may include flight expenses and railway tickets. Both lists are not exhaustive. - Alter all of the subsequent deadlines, including the date of installation to accommodate the missed deadlines. Please note that all new deadlines will be subject to the current Syne Signs schedule of work and may be longer periods of time than the original timescales.

Should deadlines be missed by the client, then Syne Signs reserve the right to refuse to complete any items quoted for the event.

SECTION 21 - ISSUES ARISING ON AN INSTALL

When we provide installation services, we hold the right to cancel the install for any reason if the key requirement are not met. These can include, but are not limited to:

• Client failure to be present during the install, sizes are wrong, material have not arrived and the client has failed to notify us 1 working day before.
• Any surface not being prepared ready for us to work, including fresh paint, obstructions infront of the surfaces, damp, flaking paint, surfaces or areas not being build or prepared correctly.
• Heaters or air con units being present on the surface, or the surface.

If we have to come back to complete any further install work due to any issues arising due to the clients issues, these are chargeable.

If there are issues on an install that are caused as a result of Syne Signs, or it's workers this is upto the discretion of the Syne Signs team on how we deal with this.

If issues arise where both parties are at fault, then the client remains responsible for the full cost of any and all costs arising in order to complete the work. This includes reprinting / remaking items, installers time, travel, accommodation and any other costs that may arise in order to complete the work at a different time or date.

In the event that items need to be replaced regardless of who's fault - Syne Signs and it's staff or contractors shall not be liable to any damages or costs incurred in rectifying or repairing any surfaces or products affected.

This includes any wall preparation works, decoration, or labour time needed to prepare surfaces in the instance that a design or product needs to be removed or replaced. - These costs and any others are the client's responsibility.

It is upto the discretion of the Synesigns team to determine whether any costs will be covered, for example replacement products, installation works, design services and other forms of work.

As a company policy we state that any designs or issues with designs must be considered from at least 1 meter distance from the design. This is a realistic distance to view large format products. So things like pixelation, small marks, bumps from wall texture, joins / alignment of wall panels, scuffs or other such small details are not supposed to be considered at a very close distance. The designs need to be viewed and assessed at 1m distance or more from the print.

If designs are above 5 square meters, then an extra 20cm should be added to the 1m distance for every 1m in size.

The larger the design the further away you should consider it.

Our products are hand made and hand installed and therefore have to be considered with that in mind.

SECTION 22 - UNSUITABLE SURFACES

Walls, windows or any other surface that has not been correctly prepared ready for graphic installation will give Syne Signs and any subcontractors the right to refuse to complete an install, or disqualification of the right to a refund or return.

Clients are responsible for ensuring their surfaces are correctly prepared for the install to take place.

This includes, but is not limited to - Walls being left 6 weeks after painting before any graphics or signs are installed, windows being clear of any existing graphics or films or other obstructions, picture frames or other such obstructions on walls or surfaces. Any desks, cupboards, pods, plants or any other furniture or obstructing items.

Clients must provide photos of all the surfaces clearly showing where the items are to go and clearly specify at the time which product they are looking for. Failure to do this may result in assumptions from our team on the products and services we offer.

For example if you book is for install and we quote for the product and install time, and upon arrival the wall is higher than we can reach without some access equipment, then we may have to cancel the install and charge to come back, as well as charing for access equipment hire. This is one example of the clients responsibly to correctly inform prior to receiving the quote all information required prior to going ahead with the project.

SECTION 22 - ADVICE

We provide the best advice we can to make suggestions on the best products to offer. But it is the clients responsibly to use common sense and also read recommend advice on the best product for the surface or project. Syne Signs cannot take responsibility for any items that are not suitable, as it is the clients responsibility to inform themselves on the best products to choose.

SECTION 23 - OBSTRUCTIONS

We need at least 1m clear access infront of any surface we are fitting onto, and failure to provide this may mean an install is cancelled and a client will need to pay to have the items installed on another date or time. We reserve the right to cancel the install in this circumstance.

SECTION 23 - INSTALL TIMINGS

We estimate all the install timings for work we quote for. However these are always an estimate. If an install takes longer than we have estimated then we

If we have estimated an install, and the work is completed before the end of the allowed time, this time is not in any way able to be refunded, or claimed by the client for credit or in exchanged for any future services. Install timings are always estimated and booked in blocks of time quoted. Often this will be half day and full day. Which is estimated at 4 hours and 7 hours respectively.

If an install runs over, and then falls outside the hours of 9-5pm this may be charged at an out of hours rate, which will be more than the in working hours rate. Weekend and holiday rates are calculated separately at higher rates again.

SECTION 24 - REFUNDS

In the event of a client overpaying for any item or service, Syne Signs reserve the right to offer a credit for future work instead of a refund.

For all other returns and refunds, please see our return policy.

SECTION 25 - MAINTAINING YOUR PRODUCTS

Products should be stored in a safe, dry space and it is the clients responsibility to look after the product and to maintain the product over time. Leave adhesive wall vinyl products unrolled for a few hours before installing. Weighing them down with weights to flatten the design can help to make them easier to handle during the install process.

For all adhesive wall products please ensure that the walls have been left 4-6 weeks after painting before any vinyl is applied to the surface. Failure to do this will breach any warranty.

After installation ensure that the temperature of the wall and area around the wall are kept consistent. Our products are designed to be kept at normal room temperature of around 20 degrees. This includes evenings, weekends and holidays to ensure the product is kept the best conditions and will last for years.

Any fluctuation in temperature may cause the material to lift or peel, as the products are a thin plastic and subject to expand or contract with temperature change. To prevent this you can also use a clear silicone along the edges of the wall vinyl to stop this happening. This is the clients responsibility to maintain the area.

If a wall vinyl is fitted onto an external wall, these are likely to change in temperature more than an internal plasterboard wall, so these kinds of walls are even more important to be kept at a constituent temperature.

This also means not putting the products on walls with a heating / cooling source like a radiator or air con unit. As these can cause the glue to soften and vinyls can peel. Installing on these surfaces is at the clients risk.

This also means keeping the products away from sunlight exposure as this can cause the products to heat up and again glue softens. This will also ensure the products do in fade with direct sunlight exposure over time.

This also goes for any products that are painted, as paints can also discolour / fade in direct sunlight.

Wall vinyls are installed with overlaps between panels to stop the wall covering from separating, but overtime the vinyl may shrink slightly and this may leave some shrink back between panels. This is normal with the product and if installed properly this should not separate between the panels.

CUSTOMS & DUTIES

Some of our signs - partially LED like Neon signs are imported and so come with some customs and duties costs. 80% of these costs are VAT - so if you are registered these can be claimed back on your next VAT return.

These costs are to be covered by the client - and delay on paying them may incur additional costs - as the sign may be returned to sender - which will incur a high additional cost.

MOISTURE

We do not recommend installing the wall vinyls or other adhesive products in humid environments such as swimming pools or bathrooms, as the steam can also cause the product to fail. We do have some specialist products we can offer for these areas.

CLEANING

Wall coverings and other vinyl products can be cleaned using water and a cloth. Do not use an abrasive surface to scratch the product or it will damage. - Cleaning products can be used on laminated wall vinyls, if you are not sure if your product is laminated, please get in touch or check the proof you were sent.

Ask our team for O&M's for the products you have bought and we can provide more info from the material suppliers where we have it.

It is only possible for you to cancel an order if you have not yet approved a proof; once this has been approved we are not able to cancel the order or offer a Credit Voucher.

If a proof has not been approved, changing to a new product may be made free of charge up to the same value; any difference in cost will need to be paid when changing the order.
