Plexpack reserves the right to accept or decline an order pending final engineering review of full and complete application details and the receipt of customer supplied sample products, films, bags and any other items deemed necessary by Plexpack for project scope definition.

Samples: In cases where samples are required, the customer is responsible to provide a sufficient samples quantity of all the customer products to be run on the machine and a sufficient quantity of all packaging materials to initiate and complete the project. Arranging shipment and shipment costs for samples and materials, to and from the Plexpack facility, are the responsibility of the customer. Delays in the delivery of samples and film will affect the completion timeline of the equipment. Estimated completion date may be affected by delays outside Plexpack control, due to significant supply chain shortages and disruption.

FAT: Factory acceptance testing criteria, if required by customer, is considered part of the project scope, and must be established prior to order acceptance. FAT will be quoted separately based on established and accepted criteria.

Note: If PO is based on a quote that has been submitted by a Plexpack partner or distributor for standard /stock equipment, without specific review of end user application details by a direct representative of Plexpack Corp., Plexpack takes no responsibility for the quoted machine's applicability or fitness to the application, facility or operation. A review of application details by a Plexpack direct representative is recommended. Machines ordered without detailed review cannot be returned.

DELIVERY.

Estimated delivery timelines are provided only upon receipt of deposit, are subject to current plant loads and capacities, and as such may vary from prior estimates.

Due to unprecedented demands and shortages throughout the global supply chain caused by pandemic, acts of war, civil unrest, and labour challenges, timelines provided cannot be guaranteed. We endeavour to meet all scheduled completion dates, however uncontrollable forces on economic stability and global demand and supply are outside of our control. Upholding deadlines is a priority and we are committed to working diligently to meet timelines as quickly as possible. Any delays or changes to order status will be communicated to you as soon as we are aware. Plexpack will not accept any late penalties or delivery guarantees during this time.
