- your acceptance of a project specification sheet for quotations or estimations for goods or services, which will be provided to you at the commencement of a project; and
- these terms; and
- for all goods requiring printing, your acceptance of the artwork provided by En Pointe. Responsibility for any errors or omissions once approval has been given lies with the client. If a print job requires re-printing due to errors or omissions, this will be done at the client’s cost.

3.3. If you would like to make an order on the basis of a quotation or estimation, if we agree:
- we will notify you in writing of our agreement; or
- we will deliver the goods or services.

3.5. Any variation of the customer contract, including alterations or changes required to specifications for goods or services, must be approved by us before the variation is deemed effective. The client agrees that alterations, additions or changes required over and above the estimated work (as set out in the project specification sheet) will be liable to extra costs. En Pointe will inform clients if and when alterations are outside the scope of work and what costs will be involved.
4. Pricing
- Where we provide you with a quotation, that quotation is valid for a period of 30 days unless we advise you otherwise.

Estimates are valid for 30 days unless we advise you otherwise.
- You must pay our invoices within 15 days of their date of issue. Payment must be made by cash, cheque or electronic funds transfer.
