  78. Subject to clauses 6.4 and 6.5, neither party is liable for any Consequential Loss however caused (including by the negligence of a party or its Personnel), suffered or incurred in connection with this agreement.

It is the sole responsibility of the Customer to notify Sketch Collective of any such errors during the revision stage and before the final files have been generated. This clause is subject to clause 6.4.
    (b) Whilst Sketch Collective strives to ensure all colours are maintained in both digital and print format, with all printing there may be some colour variations from what the Customer has seen on screen to what the final product looks like and what it did in previous orders. This is due to the nature of CMYK printing and bulk-run printing systems. There will be no reprints at the expense of Sketch Collective. Sketch Collective will endeavour to acquire test prints before the projects are printed in full to ensure Customer satisfaction, but due to the nature of large format printing, some particular jobs may not be able to have test prints made. This will be discussed with the Customer.
