I need to consider? A1: How does it work? Our rendering process requires approximately 4 steps along with in-depth feedback from you via e-mail, fax or phone to ensure you receive the desired results. Here is a general overview of our rendering process: 1. Complete our order form and send it back to us via fax, e-mail or regular mail.
2. We begin the initial rough sketch phase with a
3/4 view in black and white. The sketch is placed online in a special area on our web site for you to view and suggest changes or make comments before colorization.
3. We begin the colorization phase where substantial amounts of detail are made including lighting, shading, paint and/or color schemes, etc. You review the rendering and suggest any final changes.
4. Upon completion, we send your rendering to you via FedEx Ground or e-mail, less the CD and glossy color print (your choice). A2: What type of media is used? All renderings are produced using mixed media that will include two or more of the following: colored pencils, markers, pastels and water colors. All final prints of the rendering could also include computer enhanced alterations and images such as logos, backgrounds and certain details. A3: How long does it take? Typically, renderings can be completed in approximately 10-14 business days. However, this can vary substantially due to a variety of factors which include but are not limited to orders already placed before yours, complexity of your design (multiple additional view or wild paint schemes will take longer) and feedback from you. Feedback is the key to receiving your rendering in a timely manner. For those requiring faster service (depending on scheduling), we can offer rush service for an additional 20% of the design cost. Regardless of the design, turnaround times will vary and are NEVER GUARANTEED. A4: Do you guarantee that your rendering and/or proposal will yield a $1 or 30% off project vehicle from and OEM?
Renderings and proposals are subject to review by many departments within an
OEM organization including but not limited to design, marketing and
engineering. Each rendering and proposal is judged on it's own merits
relative to the guidelines set forth by the OEM. Therefore, we cannot
guarantee that your rendering and/or proposal will be approved under any
circumstances. Chances of success are significantly increased
when proposals and renderings are turned in on time or earlier. A5: What payment methods do you accept? We accept all major credit cards (American Express, Diner's Club, Discover, Mastercard, Visa) and Pay Pal. All first time customers will be charged in advance 100% upon receipt of the completed order form. The order form must be completed, signed and dated BEFORE any work will begin. Subsequent orders are either 100% pre-pay or 50% down, balance due upon completion. Texas based orders are subject to an additional 8.25% sales tax charge. Shipping, handling, packaging, additional color prints, additional views (other than one 3/4 front and one 3/4 rear views) and rush charges are subject to an additional charge.
A6:
Are
there any rules or guidelines I need to consider? Yes.
Please see below:
Clients wanting to secure an OEM project vehicle must meet the following conditions:
a. Client must be a SEMA member company (www.sema.org).
b. Client must submit a proposal according to OEM guidelines which are posted at http://www.sema.org/main/semaorghome.aspx?id=50844
(look under each manufacturer logo for information regarding their specific
project vehicle program).
c. Client must be willing to purchase project
vehicle from OEM at pricing set forth by the OEM (which can vary based on
the merit of the proposal, OEM discretion and other factors).
d. Client
assumes all costs required to purchase, design, build, promote, ship and
insure project vehicle. Often the cost can meet or exceed the retail value
by 2X to 4X. Some manufacturers may title vehicle as a scrap or
salvage title vehicle. This can mean that the retail value of the
vehicle is automatically decreased by as much as 50% off book value,
financing of vehicle may not be obtainable and vehicle may not be driven on
the street for normal or occasional use.
e. Client agrees to exhibit the project vehicle at the SEMA show (www.semashow.com)
in prevailing year as an exhibiting manufacturer or as sponsored by an
exhibiting company. Placement is always Client responsibility.
We can assist in locating a sponsor
but this is never guaranteed.
f. Client agrees to promote project vehicle for 18-24 months from date of 1st SEMA show where vehicle appears.
g. Client agrees to all terms and conditions set forth by OEM policy (subject to variation and change
at the discretion of the OEM).
h. Client understands that, regardless of circumstances, cancellation of receiving project vehicle after approval by OEM can result
termination of agreement and prevention of Client submitting further project
vehicle proposals for consideration.
i. Client understands that selling,
renting or trading project vehicle before agreed to 18-24 month promotional vehicle constitutes a breach of contract with the OEM. The Client may then be required to pay the full retail value of the project vehicle to the OEM. In addition, the OEM may seek other damages at Client expense.
i. Client understands that all product secured at the following costs (free, retail, jobber, dealer, wd, master wd, racer, manufacturing, break even or other) or in exchange for full reciprocal support from vendor sources (whether sources are supplied from Agency or from Client and acquired by Agency on Client behalf) are Client responsibility.
j. Client understands that Agency makes no guarantee or promise of project vehicle approval or acceptance by any OEM. Regardless of whether or not an approval is received from an OEM, Client is responsible for all costs necessary to prepare and submit a project vehicle proposal to an OEM.
