4.6.2 Availability of material needed in the manufacture of any products ordered
4.6.3 The actual delivery date will be advised by Pagurek as soon as the physical manufacturing drawings have been completed, which can be up to 14 days after receipt of signed off schedules being submitted by Pagurek.

4.7 Pagurek will make every effort to supply quality products to meet buyer requirements, but as in any manufacturing process products are manufactured to tolerances. (even if tighter tolerances are noted on buyers drawings, Pagurek only agree to manufacture within the tolerances laid out below and it is the buyers responsibility to check prior to submission of orders that the tolerances will meet requirements). Pagurek will not accept any liability should components be manufactured outside of tolerances noted on any documentation supplied in buyer orders as the following tolerances will always apply.
4.7.1 Products are supplied to the following tolerances on ordered dimensions; (These are key tolerances, for further information please contact Pagurek directly.)
4.7.2 On folded corners due to tolerances it is possible that there can be a small “pip” in the corner of the external face. Pagurek makes every effort to minimise this “pip” but should the height be less than 1.5mm it is not considered a fault. Note: All tolerances are cumulative if drawn cumulatively.
Where joints are butting are shown with no gap, then due to tolerances of assembled parts it is possible that there may be a gap, but this gap will be limited to a maximum of 1.5mm.
