In the event of an inaccurate price listed for a product ordered by the Customer, Ateliér Printworks will inform the Customer and await their approval of the amended price before proceeding with the order.
Please also note that actual product colors may vary slightly from those displayed on your screen. Variations in monitor settings, screen calibration, and ambient lighting can affect how colors are perceived. While we make every effort to ensure accurate color representation, an exact match between on-screen images and the final printed product cannot be guaranteed.
