MU Studio Designer Printery
Please read our Terms & Conditions carefully. By completing and sending your Info Sheet to us, we accept that you have read and accepted all the points set out in our T&C's. No discussion will be entered into with regards to ANY of the points, at any time.
VERY IMPORTANT
We do not work to a lead time, you will receive a mail to let you know we received your payment and your order is on the production list. We work to event dates or due dates and you will receive your designs well in time, on approval of the designs we start production and you will receive your order 2–3 weeks before your wedding. Your patience will be much appreciated. Everything is made from scratch especially for you, so please be patient and remember... we are a small team, doing big things ;-). Keep this in mind when placing your order and try not to wait until the last minute – especially for big orders.
When completing the info sheet, please give extra attention to the following points:
- Your physical address (for courier)
- Your cell or contact number
- The date you need your items
When we say: "Not Painted" – it means that we do not paint the product at all – we do clean this product if needed. Paint colours that is included in the "Painted" option – we use colours that are available on the market, any special colours will be matched to the closest colour we can find on the shelfs.
Printing colours – Please take note that MU STUDIO do not take any responsibility for colour matching of products. If you send us a picture of a product that is, for example, Duck Egg Blue – but you do not supply a colour code or colour name, we will not take responsibility if the colour is not exactly what you had in mind. Always enquire about your colour beforehand and make sure we can supply that specific colour. UV printing and digital print colours may differ and sometimes the colour you see on the screen is not the same when printed.
Every product is custom designed and handmade individually. Thus not one product will ever look exactly as any other – even if it is the same design. Products are hand assembled and hand painted. Differences will occur. MU STUDIO will not be held responsible if a product does not look exactly like another one that has been advertised by us on Social Media or via Email. Please take note that photographs of products may be edited.
Please note that foamboards or acrylic products may have scratched or dents, we try our best to make sure we do not use these parts of the material but in some cases this can't be avoided, unfortunately this is how we receive it from the suppliers and although we are very quality conscious, some scratches may slip through. Also note that foamboard do break easily when bumped. We can also not take responsibility for the shade/colour of the wood. The shade of the wood differs from batch to batch, and we have absolutely NO CONTROL over this. We get what the supplier has – it is as simple as that.
Sizing mentioned on the website is just a guideline – sizes may vary according to designs – please make sure you ALWAYS mention the size of the product you want if you are ordering a custom product, have been given a custom quote on special size requested or just want to make 100% sure of the product size before you order. We will not take responsibility for sizing differences if a custom size was not CLEARLY specified.
When we engrave a word or image onto wood, the wood burns brown (shade may vary according to type of wood used). We can NEVER do engraving in any other colour than this. This is very important – if you do not understand the principle of this, please contact us for an explanation – confusion might cause disappointment in the end-product if you did not understand the process completely.
