Printing Proofing Policy
An approval to send an order to print is confirmation that you have reviewed the proofs/product completely, agree that all content in the proofs are correct, and hereby release Funkey Purple from liability of any content errors that should be discovered after production begins.

Proofing is an important step. Whether you have submitted your own artwork or Funkey Purple designs it for you, it is your responsibility to check for any errors prior to printing. Please carefully check spelling, phone numbers, fonts, placement and all other details.

 

Electronic Proofs
Electronic proofs closely represent the image, colour and text placement, but is not the exact colour. This is due to your monitor’s colour settings being slightly different than that of the designers as well as the printer’s machinery. The colours of your proofs as they appear on your monitor are only a close representation of the final printed piece. Pantone colours may vary depending on your monitor’s brightness, contrast and colour adjustment settings. The image may also appear larger or smaller than actual production size depending on the resolution of your monitor. We cannot be responsible for variances in final printed colours unless they are outside of our production department’s ink tolerance specifications.

 

Proofing of final project
To limit any possible errors in artwork, designs will not go to production until they have been approved by the client. Funkey Purple will not be held responsible for errors if the client misses something in the proof, has reused a printed or digital proof, or if the client, during order placement, has requested the order go to production without proofing.

Bandwidth
The hosting industry in South Africa is driven by bandwidth. All our packages get calculated primarily based on bandwidth. Other factors such as spaces used on the disk and email usage etc. also play a smaller role. Your panel will at any time show you your totals regarding space and bandwidth. When the bandwidth gets exceeded an additional invoice will be payable on the over bandwidth usage. The rate gets published on the hosting pages on this website.
