An unusable surface is defined as those which are heavily textured, fragile or show signs of excessive expansion and/or shrinkage, or those which alter due to extreme temperature changes from the physical environment including air-conditioning and heating systems. This list is not exhaustive. If you wish to place a graphic near a heat or cooling source you must inform Huetion Vinyl & Crafts at the first point of contact before quotation.

All products are purchased and used solely at the purchaser’s own risk. For more information regarding our material please contact our sales team at sales@huetion.com
*15.1 CHRISTMAS PRODUCTS
Our Christmas products are produced using industry recognised short-term removable materials, but whilst they are designed not to cause any damage Huetion Vinyl & Crafts offers no guarantees that damage will not occur. Our Christmas products arrive with a small test sample that must be tested on your surface and removed after 7days to check the surface’s suitability. However, Huetion Vinyl & Crafts does not accept responsibility for any damage and our products are used at your own risk, please see our returns and refund policy for more information.
When removing your Christmas wall or window sticker we recommend the use of a hairdryer at a distance on a low to medium setting to warm the adhesive to ease the graphics from your window or wall.
16. FLOOR GRAPHICS
Whilst we use industry recognised floor graphic materials that are specifically designed for the purpose, Huetion Vinyl & Crafts accepts no liability for trips, slips and falls that occur as a result of their use. It is the consumer’s sole responsibility to account for all graphics, specifically floor stickers, in health and safety risk assessments. Customers are also responsible for monitoring the health of the graphics after they have been applied to take all steps to ensure safety remains paramount.
17. WINDOW GRAPHICS
All customers ordering manifestation or graphics for glass or windows are solely responsible for ensuring that the designs and their install meet all requirements and standards. All customers remain fully responsible for ensuring compliance even when the product is designed or commissioned by Huetion Vinyl & Crafts Ltd. Huetion Vinyl & Crafts Ltd accepts no responsibility for failure to comply with any requirements or standards and will not be a liability for any claim made as a result of damage, accident or injury.
18. INSTALLATION: SELF INSTALLATION / THIRD PARTY
Huetion Vinyl & Crafts accepts no liability for damage caused by the installation by self-installation or by any third party not authorised by Huetion Vinyl & Crafts including but not limited to painters and decorators, other graphics installers and self-application. Self-application is defined as an installation by anyone associated with the end user and/or purchase agent who is not a professional authorised by Huetion Vinyl & Crafts Ltd. Third-party installation should not be booked before the products supplied by Huetion Vinyl & Crafts are delivered and checked thoroughly by the purchaser. Huetion Vinyl & Crafts is not labile to pay any fees associated with a third party installer if the graphics are delivered later than estimated or in some way faulty.
Upon receiving delivery of any Huetion Vinyl & Crafts product it is recommended that you arrange to install at the earliest opportunity. Failure to do so may result in the adhesive losing its strength, which will reduce the life of the product and/ or cause it to peel.
If the installation isn’t able to occur immediately, it is recommended that you remove the product from its box or tube and store it flat to stop the material gaining a permanent curve. Once stored as described we would recommend that it is installed within 6 months. If the installation occurs later than this recommendation or the product is not stored as described above, Huetion Vinyl & Crafts will not be responsible for any adhesion issues that may occur.
19. REMOVAL AND DERIG
Huetion Vinyl & Crafts is not responsible for any damage caused to any surface during the removal of any graphic even with when using our derig service. However, Huetion Vinyl & Crafts will accept responsibility and liability in a situation where the incorrect material (this does not cover incorrect colours of the same material type) was supplied or damage was caused by the error of the install team. Please note Huetion Vinyl & Crafts holds the sole right to decide if the damage was caused by error and will investigate the circumstances in order to decide. Please note this decision is final and cannot be appealed.
All wall graphics designs performed by anyone other than an authorised agent of Huetion Vinyl & Crafts’s should use a heat gun or hairdryer at a distance on a low or medium setting to soften the adhesive to aid removal. When the adhesive is warm begin to peel a corner of the graphic back and peel the sticker against itself to reduce the likelihood of damage occurring.
Please note that any heat used should not be so great as to cause the material to singe or burn and if this happens you should stop immediately, place a damp cloth on the singed area and ventilate the room.
Please note, when using Huetion Vinyl & Crafts for the de-rig of installed graphics at an event/venue, time must be agreed between the client and Huetion Vinyl & Crafts from which de-rig can commence. Any delays will incur additional charges. You will be given a 10 minute grace period, however, anything more than this will be charged at £500 per hour there on. Please note in some instances, due to health and safety reasons, the venue/event space must be cleared of all non-essential persons in order to allow for the installers to use any necessary equipment.
20. ARTWORK
Vector artwork must be submitted in an original file, which must be saved as a .ai, .eps or .pdf file. All files need to be submitted ready to print unless an artwork service is included in the order or otherwise stated. Any amendments needed beyond that which is normally expected will be chargeable at £50 per hour per artwork.
All images for wall murals must be submitted as high-resolution jpeg or tiff files (at least 150dpi at 100% or 300dpi at 50%). Whilst Huetion Vinyl & Crafts will endeavour to advise on the most suitable images for the purpose, however, all images will lose a degree of quality when scaled up to the size of a wall. Huetion Vinyl & Crafts will print a sample for all custom wall murals as standard to check the quality. In instances where quality falls below the expected standard at a viewing distance of a meter, Huetion Vinyl & Crafts will send the customer the printed sample to decide if they wish to proceed with the selected image.
If deadlines of artwork submission are communicated, the purchaser and all agents associated with them must adhere to the timeline. If this timeline is negatively altered due to missing submissions, Huetion Vinyl & Crafts holds the right to change the delivery date or delay or cancel the installation, irrespective of the graphics purpose including if they are needed for specific date or event.
