Additions to Terms and Agreement November 2023
​
1. Customized Products
The client is only allowed 2 revisions per product. If the client decides to make more adjustments to the samples after they have received 2 sample adjustments, there is a $250 fee per additional revision. Revisions do
not include adding ingredients or changing the performance per the client’s initial request of what type of product they wanted and how the product should perform, during the conference call with Slarutan Labs R&D manager and chemist. There are no Lab Fee refunds.
2. RUSH FEE
When clients have a deadline to meet that requires their turnaround time to be quicker than Slarutan Labs’ standard 4 to 6 week turn around, a rush fee can be paid. The Rush fee will be based upon the size of the order and ingredients.
3. Production Adjustments
If a client decides they would like to make additional changes after a production date has been set or production has started (there will be a production adjustment fee invoiced to the client). The production adjustment fee will be determined by what the client is requesting to have done.
Example: adding kitting, changing bottle type, adding inserts, seals, special packaging).
4. Finished Product
Ranges and how it affects your product: All raw material/ingredients received at Slarutan Cosmetic Laboratory LLC comes with a certificate of analysis aka (C of A). Listed on the C of A are the ranges of each ingredient (color, odor, viscosity, density, and Ph).
For example:
you may have purchased an oil that was bright yellowish in color and your next order of oil was
a darker color. Because the color changed doesn’t mean your product is different from the original order, nor does it mean that the product is old or not good. The C of A provided with the ingredient will give us a range of the color, stating it may be light yellow to an oak brown. What does this mean to you? Your finished product may look different; however, your product is still of good quality and the performance will remain the same. The range applies to the viscosity of your product, this means your product can be thicker or thinner per order. If your product was outside of the ranges listed on the C of A, we would discard the batch and wait for the next delivery of approved ingredients for your order. If we must discard ingredients that do not match the C of A, this could cause a delay in your production schedule.
5.Formula Ownership
When a client has approved their product formula, there are no changes that can be made to the formula. If a client decides they would like to make changes to their product formula, a new formula will need to be
purchased,
(No Exceptions).
​
6. Shippers
The client is responsible for providing Slarutan Cosmetic Laboratory with custom shippers for custom orders.
If the clients’ components are fragile, additional shipping material is required. Ex : glass bottles require padded shippers and dividers . If the client has multiple products and the components are different sizes, the client is required to have shippers that fit each component’s size.
Slarutan Cosmetic Laboratory is not responsible for damaged products during transit. It is the client’s responsibility to ensure the shippers will accommodate the necessary padding to protect their product during transit. The client's production date will not be set until shippers have been received by Slarutan Cosmetic Laboratory.
7. Storage Fee
Clients have up to 7 business days to schedule a delivery or pick up, from the date the client was notified their order was completed. After 7 days, the client will be charged a daily storage fee . The storage fee will be determined based on the size of their order.
