Any work tasks outside the originally quoted or agreed scope will be charged at an hourly rate of $150.00+GST unless otherwise quoted in writing.

5. ARTWORK, PROOFS & APPROVALS
5.1 Mockups
We will supply digital proofs for sign-off. You must check spelling, colours, placements, dimensions, and legal or regulatory requirements before approving. We will provide two (2) initial concept designs, one (1) selected design for refinement with up to three (3) rounds of minor revisions (minor revisions include font changes, colour tweaks, repositioning, and text edits requiring less than 30 minutes per change). Changes after the three (3) revisions will incur an Artwork Fee of $150.00+GST per hour.
5.2 Approval
Approval must be in writing (email or e-sign). Once approved, we manufacture/print; changes after approval are variations.
5.3 Colour
Screen previews (RGB) differ from print (CMYK/spot). Exact colour matches require PMS/Pantone matching and may incur fees. Standard tolerance for digitally printed colours is ΔE ≤ 3–5; for films, batch variances may occur. We will not ask for Pantone colour upfront, if you would like an exact match you are required to ask for this before payment.
5.4 Colour matching
Colours must be provided in CMYK format. If exact colour matching is requested, a Colour Matching Fee of $350+GST will apply. While all efforts are made to maintain colour accuracy, variations may occur between proofs, screens, printers, materials and lighting conditions.

You warrant you own or are licensed to use supplied artwork and you indemnify us for any third-party claims (see clause 19). Logos must be supplied in vector format (AI < EPS < PDF). PNG or JPEG files will not be accepted. Logo recreation (if required) will incur $150.00+GST per hour. If the Client provides artwork, files must be in a high-resolution PDF, AI, or EPS format. A setup fee of $300.00+GST applies to third-party artwork. Additional charges will apply if files are not print-ready or require recreation or editing.
5.6 Scaling/Proportion
For vehicles/signs, templates are approximate. We rely on our site measurements; if you provide measurements, we rely on them as accurate. Mis-measurements by you are your responsibility. All mockups and concept visuals are illustrative only. Final output may vary due to materials, surface textures or print limitations. These variations do not constitute a defect.
5.7 Client accountability
The Client is solely responsible for the accuracy and legality of all content submitted. MB Customs Pty Ltd bears no responsibility for errors, omissions, or intellectual property disputes relating to supplied files.
6. BOOKINGS, LEAD TIMES, SCHEDULING & RESCHEDULING
6.1 Lead times
Lead times begin after deposit, final approvals, and receipt of all materials, sizes, and vehicle/site access. We may split deliveries.
6.2 Bookings
Dates are indicative and subject to supplier delays, weather, illness, and force majeure (clause 21). A booking is not confirmed until the deposit has been received and a written acknowledgement is issued by MB Customs Pty Ltd.
6.3 Cancellation by client
Cancellations must be made with at least 48 hours notice. If less than 48 hours notice is given, the full deposit is forfeited to cover materials and labour allocation. Cancellations after production has commenced will incur full payment for all completed work and materials.
6.4 Rescheduling
Rescheduling within 48 hours will attract a fee of 25% of the total quoted price, payable in advance to secure the new date. All new dates are subject to availability.
6.5 MB Customs right to cancel
We reserve the right to postpone or cancel a booking due to safety concerns, unfit or non-compliant site/vehicle, conditions, delays in client documentation, artwork or payment.
6.6 Expedited turnaround
If a client requests that work be completed within a compressed time frame of 1-7 business days, or faster than the time initially advised by MB Customs Pty Ltd, a Priority Fee of 25% of the total quoted amount will apply.
6.7 After-hours work
Requests for work outside regular business hours - including evenings, weekends, or public holidays - will incur additional After Hours Installation Fees. Rates will be calculated on an hourly basis and advised at the time of scheduling.
7. CUSTOMER-SUPPLIED MATERIALS & GARMENTS
7.1 We accept customer-supplied garments/materials strictly at your risk. We do not warrant compatibility with our processes.
7.2 Spoilage risk
Industry-standard spoilage on customer-supplied garments is up to 3% or 1 piece per size/design, whichever is greater. We are not liable to replace or reimburse customer-supplied items.
7.3 You must provide garments clean, unwashed (for decoration), free of coatings/chemicals that affect adhesion.
7.4 We may refuse items we deem unsuitable.
8. UNIFORMS (DIGITAL PRINT/DTF, HEAT TRANSFER & EMBROIDERY)
8.1 Sizing & fit
Garment sizes vary by brand/batch within manufacturing tolerance (commonly ±2 cm). Sizing issues are not defects. Try-ons in our showroom are recommended.
8.2 Print placement tolerance
±10 mm (front/back chest), ±15 mm (sleeves/legs/caps).
8.3 Embroidery limitations
Minimum text height ~4 mm; very fine detail may fill; gradients/photographic effects not possible. Digitising/art setup fees may apply.
8.4 Colour
Fabric colour and weave affect perceived print colour. Pantone matching on fabric is indicative only.
8.5 Care
Wash inside-out, cold wash, mild detergent, no bleach/softeners, do not tumble dry hot, do not iron prints/embroidery. Heat/abrasion can reduce life.
8.6 Shrinking/bleed
Cotton/poly blends may shrink; sublimation/DTF can be affected by heat and fabric dyes.
8.7 Returns
Decorated garments are non-returnable unless a major failure under the ACL.
8.8 Defects window
Notify defects within 7 days of delivery with photos; we’ll assess (see clause 15). Otherwise the goods are deemed accepted.
9. VEHICLE WRAPS & GRAPHICS
9.1 Vehicle condition
You must present the vehicle washed, dry and free of wax, polish, ceramic coatings, tar, and contaminants. Extra cleaning or decontamination (incl. ceramic removal) is chargeable. Client must provide prior notice of any damage, rust or cosmetic issues. Client must remove all previous graphics (unless agreed otherwise), adhesives and contaminants. Failure to meet these conditions may result in delays, rescheduling fees, additional charges at $150.00+GST per hour for cleaning and preparation.
9.2 Paint & surface
Vinyl adheres best to sound OEM paint. Non-OEM resprays, poor clear coats, aged/oxidised paint, rust, body filler, stone chips, and plastic trims can cause adhesion issues or paint lift, especially on removal. We are not liable for paint damage where surfaces are compromised.
9.3 Complex surfaces
Deep channels, rivets, textured plastics, silicone, and porous substrates may limit adhesion; we may suggest alternative films/overlaps.
9.4 Edges & seams
Some edges/seams/complex curves may require relief cuts, overlaps, or inlays; slight lifting at extreme edges can occur and is not a defect.
9.5 Windows & visibility
Perforated window film reduces visibility (especially at night/rain). Rear defrosters/wipers can impact film life.
9.6 Post-install curing
Adhesive systems require cure time. Minor bubbles/silvering often dissipate over 1–3 weeks. We provide a free 1-time de-bubble check within 14–21 days of install (vehicle must return to our workshop).
9.7 Care
No washing for 7 days post-install. Hand-wash only, low pressure; no abrasive brushes, harsh chemicals, or hot pressure washing; avoid fuel spills (wipe immediately).
9.8 Removal
Removal can cause adhesive transfer, paint lift, or ghosting. We are not liable for substrate condition or refinishing. Removal is billable time & materials.
9.9 Accessories
We may remove and refit badges, trims, handles, sensors where required. Fragile/aged components may break; replacement is billable. Any request to remove vehicle badges will be carried out with care, but MB Customs Pty Ltd is not liable for surface damage, marks, or paint issues arising from removal.
9.10 Warranty
Manufacturer film warranty applies to material defects (sun/UV exposure varies by film and orientation). Our labour warranty is 12 months against install defects (excludes wear/tear, accidents, neglect, off-road abrasion, chemical damage, pressure washing, edge impacts, and non-recommended care).
9.11 Offsite installations
MB Customs does not perform vehicle wraps offsite. If approved under special conditions, an Offsite Installation Fee will apply. The Client assumes responsibility for site condition. Any offsite work voids product warranties due to uncontrollable conditions.
9.12 Vehicle drop-off & pick-up
Clients must deliver vehicles by 8am on the scheduled installation day or by 3:30pm the day prior (only if the day prior is a business day), unless otherwise agreed upon. Late delivery may result in cancellation of the booking, forfeiture the full deposit, a Late Fee of $250.00+GST per day. Vehicles must be collected within 48 hours of notification of completion. Failure to do so will result in a Storage Fee of $150.00+GST per day commencing 24 hours after completion notice. Any vehicle left uncollected for over 30 days may be subject to a lien sale, with written notice provided.
10. SIGNAGE, FABRICATION & INSTALLATION
10.1 Permits & compliance
Unless expressly included, you are responsible for council permits, landlord approvals, engineering certifications, electrical certificates, and compliance with applicable laws/standards.
10.2 Site readiness
You must provide safe access, clear work areas, confirmed wall/substrate type, and accurate services locations (electrical/plumbing). Latent conditions (e.g., asbestos, cavities, steel, render delamination) are variations. MB Customs reserves the right to cancel installation on arrival if access is unsafe or obstructed. Client will be charged for wasted time or re-booking costs.
10.3 Fixings & penetrations
Installing fixings involves penetrations; we are not liable for concealed services or subsequent leaks where substrate integrity is unknown.
10.4 Electrical/illumination
Electrical connection/fit-off by licensed electricians is excluded unless stated. Power supply and timers are your responsibility.
10.5 Height works
EWP, scaffold, traffic control, inductions, parking fees are chargeable if not included.
10.6 Wind/weather
We may reschedule installs due to weather or safety.
10.7 Tolerances
Fabrication/placement tolerance ±5 mm for small signs; ±10 mm for large/long runs (unless otherwise specified).
10.8 Maintenance
You must periodically clean and inspect signs; illumination components (LEDs, drivers) have finite life and degrade over time.
11. STORAGE, ABANDONMENT & LIEN
11.1 Completed Goods not collected within 7 days may incur storage at $25/day per vehicle or $5/day per carton/pallet.
11.2 We may exercise a lien over Goods until full payment. Uncollected Goods may be disposed of per applicable law after reasonable notice.

Delivery and courier services may be billed separately, including transportation, packaging, insurance, and any applicable duties or taxes.
