(b) In respect of all unpaid debts due from the customer have a general lien on all goods and property in his possession (whether worked on or not) and shall be entitled on the expiration of 14 days' notice to dispose of such goods or property in such manner and at such price as he thinks fit and to apply the proceeds towards such debts.

(b) The customer shall be responsible for satisfying himself that the code or symbol will read correctly on the equipment likely to be used by those for whom the code or symbol is intended.
(c) The customer shall indemnify the Company against any claim by any party resulting from the code of symbol not reading or not reading correctly for any reason, except to the extent that such claim arises from any failure of the Company to comply with paragraph (a) above which is not attributable to error falling within the tolerances generally accepted in the trade in relation to the printing of this sort.
Proofing
Where ever possible we will provide you with a proof of your job prior to running the final output. We use proofs to double check there are no glitches during transit and through the rip process - You are responsible for all colour and content if you decide to receive a proof. Where ever possible your proof will be as best a representation of your final print job, however due to different printing processes and the consumable status of our machinery your final print may slightly differ from the supplied proof.
If you decide to bypass the proofing stage for whatever reason, Floral Elegance can not be held responsible for any colour or content issues arising from doing so.
Law
These conditions and all other express terms of the contract shall be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of England.
