3. Production based on templates/mockupsWhen producing textiles according to a template/mockup (created by the customer or by K.Noah), K.Noah will reproduce this as well as possible. Color specifications are matched as best as possible. Basically our fabric, print and embroidery colors are checked under the standard light D50. We reserve the right to deviate in color and representation, due to the technical possibilities in textile finishing and the different color variations in different types of base materials, and this is no defect or reason for complaint. This also applies to individual samples compared to serial production. Dimensional deviations in width and length of +/- 5%, due to the technical production process, are within the usual tolerance limit, and this is no defect or reason for complaint.

Drawings and drafts, as well as temporary templates, printing films, embroidery files as well as other design templates that are manufactured in-house remain the property of K.Noah and may only be changed or passed on to third parties in agreement with us.
