Development and Sampling Costs*\n\nWe understand that exact costs depend on your team\u2019s technical evaluation.\n\nCould you confirm that we will receive a detailed development and sampling\nquotation for approval before any fees become payable?\n\n*2. Prototype Adjustments and Approval*\n\nYou mentioned that adjustments can only be made after placing the final\norder.\n\nCould you clarify whether this restriction applies to bulk production\norders or also to prototype development?\n\nBecause Plush Cloud features custom fabric requirements and specific\nconstruction details, we would need the opportunity to evaluate prototypes,\nrequest necessary revisions, and approve the final sample before committing\nto bulk production.\n\nWe are happy to pay agreed development and sampling fees for that process,\nprovided the scope and costs are established beforehand.\n\nIf these conditions align with your development process, we would be\ncomfortable moving forward with the next stage of feasibility evaluation.\n\nThank you again for your assistance.\n\nBest regards,\nSean\nPlush Cloud\n\n\nOn Wed, Oct 14, 2026 at 10:05\u202fAM Matilde Azevedo \nwrote:\n\n> Hello Sean,\n>\n> Thank you for your continued interest in moving forward with the\n> feasibility assessment and potential prototype development for your Plush\n> Cloud project.\n>\n> Before we can proceed to the next stage, I need to confirm your agreement\n> with our standard financial and operational terms:\n>\n> - *Development Fees:* Costs depend on style (includes prototyping,\n> sourcing, patterns, QC).\n> - *Prints and Embroideries:* There is an additional initial cost for\n> setting up local and digital prints, all-overs, and embroideries.\n> - *Sample Cost:* The cost of a sample depends on the specific product and\n> complexity of the design.
