Erroneously written purchase orders are the sole financial liability of the distributor, no exceptions will be made. “No terms or conditions of purchase orders different from the terms and conditions of‑Creditor (seller) will become part of any sales agreement, purchase orders or other documents unless specifically approved in writing by Creditor (seller).” Electronic purchase orders are not accepted.

Pre-Production Proof: Special upcharge for halo or rim band; add $16.00 (g).

Ceramic & Glassware: PMS colors are established for printing on paper only. PMS numbers are only used as a reference. Due to the nature of ceramic ink, a 100% match cannot be guaranteed. Color matches may vary from previously accepted preproduction samples, speculative samples, color samples or order runs. If desired, selected PMS numbers may be matched as close as possible without incurring a PMS match charge. However, C&C will not accept liability for the closeness of such a match and submitted purchase order must specifically request “PMS match without a charge”. (All purple colors are gold bearing colors for which reason a $22.00 (g) charge always applies.)

Color Registration: Where 2 or more colors are close together there is the possibility of misregistration of approx. 1/32” of each color in any direction.

Ceramic, Porcelain and Glassware: All mugs are finished by hand and the color shade and glaze may vary within the same order or from previously accepted random sample, order run, preproduction sample or speculative sample. Slight imperfections, minor indentations (pinholes and/or dark dots), uneveness in the glaze and variations in height and diameter must be accepted and are within the industry standard. Capacities listed for ware, are approximate and may vary from lot to lot or within the same order. Some glassware styles have seams as a result of the manufacturing process.

Durability: All glassware, ceramic and porcelain are Kiln-fired at up to 1200° F, making the imprints long-lasting and safe with reasonable home or office use.
