5. Title to Goods
Until such time as the goods have been fully paid for, title to the goods remains with Supreme Creations Ltd, who may, without prejudice to any other legal remedy, repossess any unpaid for goods.

If the buyer defaults in payment in full or in part for the goods Supreme Creations Ltd and their agents are irrevocably authorised by the buyer to enter the premises of the buyer without notice for the purpose of collecting and removing any of these goods at the buyer’s expense.
From the time of delivery the goods are at the buyer’s risk. It is for the buyer to arrange adequate insurance cover for this risk until the full title passes to the buyer.
6. Artwork
Where camera ready artwork is not supplied, then it is wholly the customers’ responsibility to ensure that the artwork is satisfactory before any goods are printed. Supreme Creations Ltd will give professional help in advising the customer as to the suitability of the artwork, but accept no responsibility whatsoever in the appearance of the design once it has been printed onto fabric.
Digital reproduction/artwork provided is for presentation purposes only and to check for placement, layout, design, type, spelling and approximate colour. Printed pieces will vary from this digital reproduction as far as colour, texture and achievement of detail, which are dependent upon the fabric/substrate to be printed.
In the case of printed goods the Company will not accept liability or responsibility for any errors in proofs which have been passed by the Buyer.
No responsibility is accepted for designs submitted as JPEG/PDF computer files. No responsibility is accepted for design colour descriptions other than by pantone colour reference, or sample referred to in the order form or otherwise agreed in writing.
The recommended graphic applications are Adobe Photoshop CS3 and Adobe Illustrator CS3. Files accepted for a good quality print are: tiff, eps, ai, psd.
We prefer not to print JPEG (.jpg) files because they are often of very poor quality. Please be aware that if you wish us to proceed with artwork given in JPEG/PDF format, the artwork may have to be altered or amended to try and improve print quality. The artwork will have to be manually manipulated and is prone to human errors such as misspelling, wrong artwork alignment, layout changes and font changes. It is the customer’s responsibility to examine the final artwork approval given in great detail to see what has been altered from the customer’s original artwork.
Colour matching is more an art than it is an exact science. We recommend customers to confirm the pantone colour references on the order form or at least send a hard copy sample.
Remember your hazel might not be ours, and what you think of as azure, we might be describing as turquoise. Please be aware that if you wish us to proceed without specifying a pantone colour reference for us to match, we retain the right to use our own discretion.
7. Screens/Scanning/Positives/Re-Drawing
These are charged as a separate item and are liable for payment in full whether the customer proceeds with the order or not.
8. Print Colour Variation
Whilst every effort will be made to maintain consistent standards, allowance must be made for some variation in shade from panel to panel during a production run, as no two items react in identical fashion when printed.
9. Supreme Creations Ltd Website
The description of goods in Supreme Creations Ltd website form part of the contract only if the goods are described in the order form by reference to the website or its product codes. Where goods are ordered by reference to Supreme Creations Ltd website this refers to the website as at the date the order is signed by the buyer. The website may change from time to time. Although Supreme Creations Ltd will endeavour to reproduce the appearance including the colours shown on the website the goods may differ in colour or appearance.
10. Manufacturing Tolerances
Variations in size of goods permitted by plus or minus 5%. All orders are subject to customary manufacturing tolerances as to width, length, thickness, print registration and colour variations. Variations in quantities delivered subject to standard textile industry practices of plus or minus 5% of quantity ordered.
11. Representations
The whole terms of this contract are set out in writing in the order form and these standard terms of trade. No other oral or written terms or representations are included, and no liability is accepted for any such terms or representations save that design details for the goods agreed in writing between the parties become part of this agreement.
12. Customers’ Property
All property supplied to Supreme Creations Ltd by or on behalf of the buyer will be held at buyers’ risk.

14. Insolvency
If the buyer 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 him Supreme Creations Ltd without prejudice to other remedies shall: 1) have the right not to proceed further with the contract or any other work for the buyer and be entitled to charge for work already carried out (whether completed or not) and materials purchased for the buyer, such charge to be an immediate debt due to Supreme Creations Ltd, and, 2) in respect of all the unpaid debts due from the buyer have a general lien on all goods and property of the buyer in the possession of Supreme Creations Ltd (whether worked on or not) and shall be entitled on the expiration of 14 days notice in writing to the buyer or his successors in title to dispose of such goods or property as Supreme Creations Ltd thinks fit and to apply the proceeds towards such debts, and account to the buyer for any balance.
