QUOTES AND PRICING

House of Silver is happy to provide quotes. In order to provide a fair and reasonable estimate it is essential for us to see the item in our shop.

Upon receipt of your order, all items are documented. The type of material, condition and detail of the parts are all considered when providing a quote. We will contact you with a price and seek your approval before starting the job. Minimum order charge is $100.00.

Occasionally, after we strip and clean a piece - cracks, dents and deterioration appear that were not originally noticed by you or us. We will notify you immediately in these cases, and additional repair charges may apply.

DEPOSIT AND PAYMENT

We require a 50% deposit before beginning any work. The deposit is non-refundable, and is applied to the final bill.

House of Silver accepts two methods of payment - cash or business cheque. While personal cheques are also accepted, shipping will likely be delayed, as shipping will only take place after the cheque has cleared.

COMPLETION

In-shop time varies upon the size and type of job. All jobs are completed in the order in which they are received. Restoration of pot metal and jobs requiring repair work and a show quality finish take more time to complete making it difficult to guarantee a completion date.

To check on the progress of your job, remember to provide your contact details to us in your original order, and provide your job order if you call.

PROCESSING POLICY

It is generally recognized that even after employing all the science known to us and capable people with years of training, there still remain hazards in the electroplating and metal finishing fields. As a consequence, in order to avoid misunderstandings, following are conditions under which your materials will be accepted by House of Silver for processing:

  1. Whenever we are given materials with detailed instructions as to treatment, our responsibility shall end with the carrying out of those instructions. Type of material, tolerances and specifications for processing shall be declared in writing prior to our processing.
  2. Our liability for any cause is limited to the cost of direct labour and material of the product directly damaged by our process or three times our processing charges on such materials, whichever is the lesser. Charges for our services are based on this policy limiting our liability.
  3. Liability greater than that outlined in paragraph 2 above will be assumed by us only when so agreed in writing by us. In such event a higher charge may be made for our services.
  4. Parts, materials, etc. as processed by us shall be presumed to be accepted as satisfactory by you if we are not notified of damages, shortages or other discrepancies within 10 working day of your receipt of the same.
  5. Rejected parts must be returned to us for rework. Further processing or assembly of rejected parts, materials, etc., by you or any other party shall constitute a waiver of any liability on our part.
  6. Where operations or processes performed by us are in the nature of "salvaging" parts or materials, the work is accepted on a "best effort" basis and no liability shall attach to us unless previously agreed upon in writing prior to processing the job.
  7. In the event that results of metal finishing operations are unsatisfactory due to metal imperfections, changes in grade or composition of materials, manufacturing and/or fabrication imperfections, usages for which the plating or other finishing operation was not reasonably designed, and similar variables over which we have no control, the customer would be required to pay the contracted amount for the finishing operation performed.

We are sure you will agree with us that the conditions above set forth are realistic and reasonable and that acceptance of the material for processing subject to such conditions will permit us to continue to provide quality metal finishing at an economical price.
