Terms & Conditions Textile

Textile Testing International will conduct tests in accordance with and subject to the terms and conditions contained herein. These conditions may only be modified by a variation expressed in writing and signed on behalf of the company by a Director. No other action on the part of Textile Testing International or its employees or agents shall be construed as acceptance of any other terms and conditions.
It shall be the responsibility of the client to ascertain and notify Textile Testing International of the standards with which any sample submitted for testing must comply in any country or territory where the sample is intended to be sold. In the absence of specific instructions, Textile Testing International will adopt the test methods and standards considered most appropriate.
The client will ensure that clear instructions are provided to Textile Testing International in due time and are accompanied by sufficient information to enable the required services to be performed effectively.
Textile Testing International will, subject to the client’s requirements, test any sample submitted to it or sampled by Textile Testing International from bulk to ascertain its conformity or otherwise with the contract, description, or sample. Under no circumstances will Textile Testing International render any opinion as to the fitness of any sample for the purpose for which it is intended unless, in a specific case, Textile Testing International is requested to do so and agrees in writing.
A Test Report issued by Textile Testing International shall refer only to the sample actually tested and shall not refer, or be deemed to refer, to the bulk from which such sample may have been obtained.
Test Report(s) prepared by Textile Testing International are issued subject to the condition that they are not to be made public or used in connection with any advertising, promotional, or publicity undertaking or material whatsoever without the prior written consent of Textile Testing International.
If any Test Report issued by Textile Testing International is required for use in connection with, or as evidence in, any Court or Arbitration proceedings, Textile Testing International will render all reasonable assistance and explanations required. However, all costs and expenses incurred by Textile Testing International in providing such assistance or explanations shall be borne by the client for whom the Test Report was prepared.
Under no circumstances will the issuing of any Test Report by Textile Testing International operate, or be deemed to involve Textile Testing International as a party or agent in any contractual or other relationship between the client for whom the Test Report was prepared and any other party whatsoever.
If any Test Report is proven inaccurate and such inaccuracy is caused by the act or default of Textile Testing International or its technicians or agents, the liability of Textile Testing International shall be limited to either re-testing or refunding, without interest, the fee paid by the client for the Test Report.
During the testing process, Textile Testing International may use an alternate method or input that has been internally validated to produce the same effect, where necessary due to unavailability or unavoidable circumstances.
Samples received by Textile Testing International without sufficient information to proceed with testing, or where the client has not provided clear consent to bear the cost of the required or requested testing, will be stored for a maximum period of 30 days, after which they will be disposed of.
Textile Testing International shall be entitled, at its discretion, to delegate the performance of the whole or any part of the contracted services to any agent or subcontractor.
Every officer, employee, agent, or subcontractor of Textile Testing International shall have the benefit of the limitations of liability and indemnities contained in these General Conditions. Any contract entered into by Textile Testing International is made not only on its own behalf but also as agent and trustee for every such person.
If the client’s requirements necessitate analysis of a sample by the principal or any third party, Textile Testing International will pass on the results of such analysis without responsibility for its accuracy. Where Textile Testing International only witnesses an analysis conducted by the principal or a third party, it will confirm, where applicable, that the correct sample has been analyzed but shall not otherwise be responsible for the accuracy of such analysis.
TTI reserves the right to file a suit in a court of law to recover any outstanding amount in the event of non-payment within 65 days.
Samples submitted for testing will be disposed of at the discretion of Textile Testing International after the expiry of 60 days from the date of the Test Report unless the client submits a written request and makes arrangements for their collection.
Payment Terms: Test charges must be paid in advance.
Upon the client’s request, Textile Testing International may forward samples and/or Test Reports to the client, the client’s buyer, or the client’s agent. All costs associated with such requests shall be borne by the client.
This report shall not be reproduced except in full without prior authorization from Textile Testing International.
Uncertainty values can be provided upon receipt of a request together with the Test Requisition Form.
