ARTWORK
Branding Castelli products requires digital artwork. Artwork is to be supplied in the forms outlined in our Artwork Guide found on our corporate website www.castellicorporategifts.com. If amends or corrections are required, Castelli will charge (Including proofing) a charge per amendment or instruction.
Customer supplied branding dies are permitted, providing they are deep etched (minimum of 5mm). This is essential and is especially particularly when, reproducing small detail, when hot stamping, and when being applied to soft and padded materials. Supplied dies will only be accepted if accompanied with Hi-res pdf’s and positional branding guides. Please note that a positional logo proof will not be supplied.
Free branding templates are available from the Castelli Corporate Website. If no position is stated for the branding, we shall brand where we consider it is to the best advantage at our absolute discretion. If a special position is required exact measurements must be supplied, if not, we cannot be held responsible. If no positional proof is required please state this on your purchase order detailing the position required including the official Castelli logo Identification number.
Where there is a change of logo within one order we shall either split and charge in the quantities ordered for each individual logo or charge for each extra logo, whichever is the least expensive. Repeat orders using the branding dies used from prior years eventually wear out after heavy use, we may have to request new artwork for a replacement to be made. Replacement dies will be charged at normal rates. Customer blocking dies, will be held by Castelli for a maximum of 3 diary seasons post manufacture/usage.
Where there is a change to an order previously confirmed, at Castelli discretion an Admin Order Change charge will be charged. An Admin Order Change per order per change will be applied if after an order is confirmed by Castelli, or a specification order change is submitted. All order changes are to be supplied in writing and agreed in writing by Castelli. If Castelli do not reissue an order acknowledgement or state in writing that the changes are accepted the changed has not been authorised and the order specification will remain unchanged.
If you require advertising/brand advertising content there is a significant advantage in the supply of print ready artwork. Art that is supplied to our specification, that does not require alteration, will help your order to be processed in the most efficient manner. If you are unsure what print ready artwork we required a complete artwork specification is available from the Castelli Corporate website along with free page templates.

This service is included within the overall artwork charge unless otherwise specified. We do not accept printed content supplied.
Whilst every effort is made to supply the exact quantity of printed merchandise ordered, a 3-5% allowance must be made for over and under-runs, even if a customers order states that there are to be no quantity over or under runs.

As is standard practice on many websites, Castelli’s website uses “cookies”. The cookies that you may come in contact with while using the Castelli website, can be described under 3 main cookie types.
NECESSARY COOKIES
These cookies are essential in order to enable you to move around the website and use its features, such as accessing secure areas of the website. Without these cookies, services you have asked for, such as obtaining a quote or logging into your account, cannot be provided. These cookies do not gather information about you that could be used for marketing or remembering where you have been on the internet.
PERFORMANCE COOKIES
These cookies collect information about how visitors use a website, for instance which pages visitors go to most often, and if they get error messages from web pages. They also allow us to record and count the number of visitors to the website, all of which enables us to see how visitors use the website in order to improve the way that our website works. These cookies do not collect information that identifies a visitor, as all information these cookies collect is anonymous and is only used to improve how our website works.
FUNCTIONAL COOKIES
These cookies allow our website to remember choices you make (such as your user name, language or the region you are in) and provide enhanced features. For instance, a website may be able to provide you with news or updates relevant to the policies you buy. These cookies can also be used to remember changes you have made to text size, font and other parts of web pages that you can customise. They may also be used to provide services you have requested such as viewing a video or commenting on a blog. The information these cookies collect is usually anonymised. They do not gather any information about you that could be used for advertising or remember where you have been on the internet.
WHAT ARE COOKIES?
Cookies are small text files placed on your computer and are commonly used on the internet. Cookies and other technologies are used to help process orders, facilitate security password protected areas and help us understand which parts of our websites are the most popular, where our visitors are going and how much time they spend there.
We also use cookies and other technologies to make sure that our online advertising is bringing customers to our products and services. We use cookies and other technologies to study traffic patterns on our website, to make it even more rewarding as well as to study the effectiveness of our customer communications. And we use cookies to customise your experience and provide greater convenience each time you interact with us. If, however, you prefer that we did not collect data by this method, you can disable this function within your browser settings. If you want to delete any cookies that are already on your computer, please refer to the instructions for your file management software to locate the file or directory that stores cookies.
COOKIES GATHERING INFORMATION AND USE
As is true of most websites, we gather certain information automatically and store it in log files. This information includes Internet Protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, Internet Service Provider (ISP), referring/exit pages, operating system, date/time stamp, and click stream data.
We use this information, which does not identify individual users, to analyse trends, to administer the site, to track users’ movements around the site and to gather demographic information about our user base as a whole. Castelli will not use the information collected to market directly to that person. In some of our email messages we use a “click-through URL” linked to content on the Castelli website. When customers click one of these URLs, they pass through our web server before arriving at the destination web page. We track this click-through data to help us determine interest in particular topics and measure the effectiveness of our customer communications.
If you prefer not to be tracked simply avoid clicking text or graphic links in the email. In addition we use pixel tags — tiny graphic images — to tell us what parts of our website customers have visited or to measure the effectiveness of searches customers perform on our site. Pixel tags also enable us to send email messages in a format that customers can read. And they tell us whether emails have been opened to ensure that we are sending only messages that are of interest to our customers. We may use this information to reduce or eliminate messages sent to a customer. We store all of this information in a secure database located in the UK.
Our company wide commitment to your privacy is taken seriously. To make sure your personal information is secure, we communicate these guidelines to Castelli employees and strictly enforce privacy safeguards within the company.
There is also one other type of cookie, a third party cookie that is used to collect your browsing habits. They are usually placed by advertising networks rather than website operators. They remember that you have visited a website and share this information with other organisations such as advertisers. They do this in order to provide you with targeted adverts more relevant to you and your interests. Quite often they will be linked to site functionality provided by the other organisation.
Although the cookies can track your visits around the web they do not usually know who you are. Without these cookies, online advertisements you encounter will be less relevant to you and your interests. These cookies will usually be third party cookies, although if you are visiting the advertising network's own website, it is technically possible these could be first party cookies. These cookies can be associated with services provided by the third party, but this is not always the case. All information these cookies collect is anonymised, although they contain a unique key that is able to distinguish individual user browsing habits or store a code that can be translated into a set of browsing habits or preferences. Generally speaking the third party’s Privacy Policy on their website will indicate if the cookie is being used as part of an advertising network.
