Policy: Return & Refunds
Effective date: 22 December 2024
At Al Sadiq Advertiser, we aim to provide products and services
that meet the specifications agreed with our customers. If you
believe an order has a quality issue or does not match the approved
requirements, please contact us promptly so we can review the matter.
Printing, signage, branding and made-to-order advertising products
can involve customer-approved artwork, dimensions, materials and
finishing choices. These details are important when determining
whether a claim is justified and what resolution may be appropriate.
01 Quality, specifications and approval
Customers should carefully review the quotation, design proof,
artwork, dimensions, quantity, materials, spelling, colours and
other project details before approving production.
A claim will be assessed against the specifications agreed for the
order and the information available about the issue. Differences
caused by customer-approved artwork or specifications may affect
the outcome of a claim.
Physical print results may vary slightly from on-screen previews
due to differences in displays, materials, lighting and production
processes. Such variation should be assessed in the context of
the agreed specifications and the nature of the issue.
02 Advance payment and balance
The published payment arrangement for applicable orders is an
80% advance payment, with the remaining
20% balance payable on handover, unless different
terms have been agreed in writing for the specific order.
The advance is described in the existing policy as non-refundable.
However, any request involving a quality issue, an error attributable
to our business or other exceptional circumstances should be
reviewed against the actual order terms and applicable law.
03 Claims and eligibility
If an order appears defective, damaged or materially inconsistent
with the agreed specifications, contact our team with the order
details and an explanation of the issue.
We will review each claim on its circumstances. Relevant factors
may include:
- The approved quotation, artwork, proof and specifications.
- The nature and extent of the reported defect or discrepancy.
- Whether the issue relates to production, supplied information, handling or another cause.
- The time the issue was reported and the evidence available.
A refund, replacement, correction or other remedy is not automatic.
The appropriate outcome depends on the findings, the agreed terms
and applicable legal requirements.
04 How to submit a claim
Contact us as soon as reasonably possible after discovering the
issue. To help us locate and assess your order, please include:
- Your name and contact details.
- The order, invoice or quotation reference, if available.
- A clear description of the concern.
- The date you received or collected the order, where relevant.
- Photographs or other supporting material showing the issue.
- The resolution you are requesting, if you have a preference.
Please retain the affected items until we advise whether further
inspection, return or other steps are needed.
05 Evidence and review period
Photographs, approved proofs, order documents and other relevant
information help us understand the issue. We may request additional
evidence or arrange an inspection when reasonably necessary.
The existing policy provides for a review period of approximately
5–7 business days after the required claim
information is received. Complex cases or requests for additional
evidence may require more time.
We will assess the information provided and communicate the outcome
or the next steps as appropriate.
06 Possible resolutions
Depending on the findings and the circumstances, a claim may result
in a correction, reprint, replacement, refund or another agreed
resolution where appropriate.
If an issue is verified as resulting from an error attributable to
Al Sadiq Advertiser, we will review the appropriate remedy in light
of the order agreement and applicable law. Any refund or replacement
arrangement should be confirmed with the customer.
If the concern relates to customer-approved artwork, specifications
or other information supplied for production, the available options
may differ. Each case will be assessed on its own facts.
07 Customer responsibilities
Customers should verify order details and approvals before
production, provide accurate information and report concerns
promptly. Customers should also take reasonable care of products
after collection or delivery.
Damage or changes occurring after handover, improper handling,
unauthorized alterations or discrepancies already present in
customer-approved artwork may affect the assessment of a claim.
These factors will be considered alongside the facts and applicable
legal obligations.
08 Governing law and disputes
This policy is intended to operate in accordance with applicable
laws of Pakistan. Subject to mandatory legal rights and applicable
jurisdiction rules, disputes may be referred to the competent
courts in Lahore, Pakistan.
We encourage customers to contact us first with their order
information and supporting evidence so that the issue can be
reviewed and, where possible, resolved directly.
