Terms and Conditions

1 General

1.1 By accessing and using this service, you accept and agree to be bound by the terms and provision of this agreement. In addition, when using these services, you shall be subject to any posted guidelines or rules applicable to such services. Any participation in this service will constitute acceptance of this agreement. If you do not agree to abide by the above, please do not use this service. The website is to provide general information regarding Image Casting’s products and services. While we endeavour to keep it current and accurate it may not always be completely up to date and Image Casting reserves the right to change, delete and move information at any time with no prior notice.

1.2 This site and its components are offered for informational purposes only; this site shall not be responsible or liable for the accuracy, usefulness or availability of any information transmitted or made available via the site and shall not be responsible or liable for any error or omissions in that information.

1.3 All images, logos and videos are subject to Copyright© 2021 Image Casting Ltd

2 Casting

2.1 By making a booking and a Casting Artist travelling to your venue of choice/home you are entering an agreement with Image Casting. The casting fee is included in the prices displayed on the website. If no order is placed at the casting a deposit will be charged to cover the cost of the casting and any work completed.

2.1a If a Casting Artist travels to a casting which is then cancelled through no fault of the Casting Artist, the cost of the casting appointment is paid by the client.

2.2 All our products are bespoke and made to order. There is no refund on goods that are no longer required unless there is a fault on the part of Image Casting. We send real bronze, sterling silver, charms, and glass items to third party specialists, and if these products do not meet our satisfaction, we will work with them to re-make the items to ensure customers receive the best quality. Any additional time that this takes will not be compensated unless the item can no longer be provided in which case a refund will be offered.

2.3 Each cast is made individually so no two casts are the same. We will endeavour to match the colour of your casts to previous casts made by us, but we cannot guarantee exact matches and a couple of shades difference is to be expected. Variations in raw material components from our suppliers are not under our control and therefore we cannot guarantee exact matches in colour in regard to bronze and aluminium cold casts. Patination for foundry bronze is all done by hand and exact matches to previous casts/images of casts cannot be guaranteed.

2.4 Glass casts are all handmade and air bubbles and veining within the casts can occur - these are a natural part of the casting process and are not deemed to be defective and will not be refunded/compensated for unless the item can no longer be provided in which case a refund will be offered.

3 Prices

3.1

3.1.1 Prices for Products are quoted, in Pounds Sterling, on the Site. All prices noted on the Site’s price list are final.

3.1.2 Prices are subject to change following an assessment of the Product undertaken by Image Casting.

3.1.3 Due to the nature of fluctuating metal prices, prices for real bronze and sterling silver casts are estimated at the time of casting but may change.

3.1.4 Any bespoke prices quoted are valid for 30 days and thereafter are subject to change. Any alterations requested by the customer to the requirements for the casts will be re-quoted. Additionally, any work already undertaken by Image Casting that is no longer required must be reimbursed if the change is at the customer’s request.

3.2 When chargeable, VAT is inclusive in the total cost for Image Casting Products.

3.3 UK delivery costs, or, where applicable, the delivery costs of the country where Products are to be delivered, are outlined during the payment processing stage. Where not included in the price of the Product, delivery costs will be charged for silicone moulds to be sent separately (for UK and International deliveries),

3.4 Image Casting reserves the right to withhold the Products and/or terminate this Agreement if the final total price is not received in full. Delivery occurs only when full payment has been received.

4 Terms of Payment

4.1 Payment for any Image Casting Products is due in full upon the placement of your order in cleared funds.

4.2 A detailed invoice can be emailed to you upon request following Image Casting’s receipt of payment in full.

4.3 Where moulds are taken but no order placed, a casting cost of £100 is payable. This is deducted from the order when it is placed.

4.4 If a deposit has been put down for a product that has been ordered, the deposit is non-refundable if the client then chooses to go elsewhere or cancels the order. In the event that Image Casting can no longer see a project through to completion, all work carried out to that point may be transferred to the customer or to a new supplier at Image Casting's discretion and Image Casting will be paid for work they have carried out to that point. This clause includes but is not limited to; when a casting to take moulds has taken place, plain resin casts/silicones, foundry, glass and sterling silver casts have been made and any design work already undertaken.

4.5 Items over £600 can be paid by placing a 50% deposit at the time of casting and the remaining payment prior to delivery.

4.6 Payment schedules can be discussed and are at the discretion of Image Casting.

5 Lead Times

5.1 Lead times stated on the website are estimates

5.2 We always endeavour to meet the stated lead times but due to the nature of the processes involved, particularly with real metals and glass, these times may need to be extended. This ensures that we deliver you the best quality product we can.

5.3 There is a built-in assumption with the lead times that any queries we have regarding your casts, via email or phone, are responded to in a timely manner. Any delays in replies and decisions about the casts from the customer will result in longer delivery times.

5.4 If there is a delay, we endeavour to keep you informed and updated on progress.

5.5 We do not offer refunds on delayed casts. There is always a valid reason, often outside of our control, when there is a delay.
