ORDER TERMS AND CONDITIONS

Payment

All prices and amounts shown on this Site are in U.S. Dollars (USD), unless otherwise noted. If a User submits a request on the Site to purchase printing products, mailing services, design services or other services, the User agrees that all charges, taxes and shipping/handling fees will automatically be charged to the credit card or paid by User with an approved payment method. We require each order to be fully paid, including shipping and handling fees, if applicable, before we complete an order. We will not start working on a print job until we receive the full payment.

Once a print job has been approved by customer and is already "In Production", no changes are allowed to the artwork files, job characteristics, or printing turnaround time. After a print job has been sent to production, the customer is responsible for paying the entire amount of that print job along with applicable taxes and shipping/handling fees, unless otherwise noted.

Return Policy

At UnitedReprographics.com, we strive to provide our clients with the best possible printing experience. If you are not 100% satisfied with your order for any reason, please contact our customer service department. Our representative will document your complaint and create a ticket for your reference.

  • 100% Refund or reprint on any defective portion of a print order
  • 100% Free expedited reprint on any orders lost in transit

All policies are subject to change without prior notification. Defective product refunds and reprints are limited to $1000. Determination of defect is at the discretion of management. In most cases, clients will be requested to submit digital photos documenting the product defect and/or ship the defective products back to customer service. Free expedited reprint on any orders lost in transit is limited to orders less than or equal to $250. Turnaround and shipping for reprint orders will vary depending upon available production capacity and manager's discretion.

Direct mail services including printing, mailing services, list services and design services are not subject to standard return policies. Refunds or reprint on direct mail orders will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis.

Our Sales Tax Policy

UnitedReprographics.com charges sales tax to orders picked-up or shipped to an address within the state of Washington unless you are tax exempt. If you are tax exempt, you need to send or fax to us your tax exemption certificate.

Proofs

If requested, an online proof will be available for your review after we have received your file upload. Actual time will vary depending on our current workload. No job will be sent to press without your approval unless waived. It is the customer’s responsibility to log in to their e-mail and check on their proof. We are not liable for delays in the order caused by customer's non-approval of the proof.

An online proof is by no means an accurate color reproduction of your final printed piece but is the final opportunity for you to check the layout, bleeds, crops and final text. Electronic proofs do not show transparency and over print issues. Neither do they show color change from RGB or Pantone to CMYK.

The proof must be treated as independent from the original submitted file and thoroughly reviewed prior to approval. It should be checked against the original file for possible errors in layout, copy, spacing, punctuation or image placement. Customer is fully responsible for all that is contained in the final approved proof.

UnitedReprographics.com offers hard copy proofs which show reasonable likeness to the final printed pieces. Such proofs are recommended for color-critical art and must be requested by the customer when the print order is made. Hard copy proofs are printed on a substrate different from the actual paper stock and while it's main purpose is to show color, variations may occur depending on the finish selected (AQ, matte, UV) for the final print job. We do not offer hard copy proofs for art that would be printed on uncoated paper.

The request for a hard copy proof may involve an additional fee and would extend the amount of time needed to complete the job. For orders where a hard copy proof has been requested, the approval must be received by UnitedReprographics.com on or before our published cut-off times. We will make every effort to match colors in production when a hard copy proof is requested. However, it is the customer's responsibility to determine if they need a hard copy proof with their print order.

Color Accuracy

UnitedReprographics.com will reproduce color from submitted print-ready files as closely as possible, but cannot exactly match color and density (as viewed in a 5000K light booth). Because of inherent limitations with the printing process, as well as neighboring image ink requirements, the accuracy of color reproduction is not guaranteed. By placing an order with UnitedReprographics.com you agree to this limitation. We will try our best to match the gradient density of each color, but we accept no responsibility for color variations between submitted files and the final printed piece. Under no circumstances will a reprint be honored for color variations that have occurred during the printing process. We are not liable for color matching or ink density on screen proofs that you approve. Screen proofs will predict design layout, text accuracy, image proportion and placement, but not color or density. Application of UV coating may effect or change the appearance of the printed colors. We are not liable for the final color appearance of a UV coated product.

No Liability for Errors

UnitedReprographics.com is not liable for errors in a final product caused by any of the following reasons:
Misspelling, Graphics, Bleeds, Grammar, Damaged Fonts, Punctuation, Wrong cuts, Incorrect or Missing Folds, Die Lines, Crop Marks, Transparency, Overprint, Cracks on Folds, Finished Product Size. UnitedReprographics.com does not make any changes on customer files.

Overprint and Underprint Policy

Due to the gang run method that UnitedReprographics.com uses for many orders, we cannot guarantee that every order will be the exact number of items which was ordered. UnitedReprographics.com can only guarantee that it will come within plus or minus 10% of the number of items ordered.

Artwork Files

Our prepress department checks all submitted artwork files before printing, but you are still 100% responsible for the accuracy of your print-ready artwork files, and we encourage you to proofread all files carefully before submitting to UnitedReprographics.com. UnitedReprographics.com is not responsible for any issues as to orientation or alignment of the pages of your submitted artwork. By submitting the artwork to UnitedReprographics.com, you certify that you have the right to use the image(s) in your artwork files. DO NOT send any "one-of-kind" transparencies, prints or artwork. Although we take every precaution to safeguard your materials, we are NOT responsible for loss or damage of images or artwork.

Under these Terms and Conditions, you agree that you will NOT upload any artwork files consisting of the following material: offensive, indecent or improper material, any material that could give rise to any civil or criminal liability under applicable law; and any material that could infringe rights of privacy, publicity, copyrights or other intellectual property rights without the permission of the owner of these rights and the persons who are shown in the material if applicable. We will refuse an order, which in our opinion may be illegal in nature or an infringement on the rights of any third party. You accept full legal liability for the content of material processed and printed on your behalf and under your instructions. We reserve the right to refuse an order without disclosing a reason.

Printing Turnaround Time

Printing turnaround time begins once your order has been placed and your print-ready files have been uploaded to your account, attached to your printing job, and approved for printing. Printing turnaround time begins when we receive approval for your proof and full payment has been made. For printing jobs that do not have complete digital source files provided or have submitted files that are not print-ready, printing turnaround begins when we have your print-ready file(s), not from when the order was first submitted.

Please note that there is no production or shipping on Saturdays, Sundays and Holidays. As a result, these days are not considered when calculating printing turnaround time. In addition, while Production Turnaround includes printing, cutting, and binding, it does not include design, mailing, or shipping transit times, and you should allow additional business days for delivery based on the shipping method you selected. The estimated production turnaround advertised on this site is based on the typical number of hours or days that a print job is completed under normal circumstances, excluding Saturdays, Sundays and holidays.

Cancellation of an order based on printing turnaround time is only allowed if the customer indicates in writing (e.g., comment posted to order) when placing the original order that a job in the order is time sensitive and must be shipped by target date based on printing turnaround option selected. UnitedReprographics.com will not be responsible for shipping-related costs on orders that do not go out by the due date.

Shipping

Unless you choose Pick Up or Mailing Services, you need to select one of the shipping options presented to you on the Site. All shipping is currently done via FedEx. When choosing a shipping option, please remember that the estimated shipping transit time is based on the number of business days in transit and does not include weekends, holidays or the day the package is picked up by the carrier. For instance, a product shipped 2nd Day Air and picked up on a Thursday would be delivered by end of day Monday.

Shipping transit times vary, and UnitedReprographics.com assumes no responsibility for delays caused by shipping carriers, weather or any damages resulting from the failure to receive a job on time. Your order may arrive late due to unforeseen delays in delivery service, the breakdown of equipment, illness, etc.

UnitedReprographics.com's responsibility is limited to preparing your printing order and turning it over to the carrier for shipping. UnitedReprographics.com is not liable for damages which occur during shipping.

Pick up orders will be kept for 30 days from the delivery of the pick-up notification email. If the order has not been picked up from UnitedReprographics.com's facility within 30 days, it will be recycled. We cannot ship to P.O. Boxes or APO/FPO.

Target Arrival

Target arrival dates are calculated by adding the printing turnaround time to the shipping transit time. If you have requested a Hardcopy Proof, factor in approximately six business days to receive and approve your proof. Both printing and shipping times are based on business days only and do not include weekends or holidays.

For example, a product with a printing turnaround time of two business days and a shipping method of 2nd Day Air would have a target arrival date of four business days after your files have been sent to production.

Please understand that target arrival dates are estimates, not guarantees. While we will do everything in our power to meet your target arrival date, weather and other occurrences beyond our control may impact our ability to meet that date.

Mailing Services

Customer's mailing list(s), while in the possession of UnitedReprographics.com is the exclusive property of the customer and shall be used only with customer's instructions. Customer's mailing list(s) will not be sold or offered for use to any other party, and UnitedReprographics.com will not utilize the list for any other purpose.

All mailing delivery dates are estimates, not guarantees. UnitedReprographics.com's responsibility is limited to preparing your mailing and completing delivery to the U.S. Postal Service ("USPS"). UnitedReprographics.com's responsibility ends when the job is delivered to the US Postal Service Business Mail Entry Unit. In no event shall UnitedReprographics.com be liable for USPS performance failures or delivery delays.

UnitedReprographics.com shall be liable to rectify printing and mailing errors only to the extent of re-mailing a correction or corrected job as soon as possible, and allowable damages shall be limited to the value of the printing work performed. In no case is UnitedReprographics.com liable for loss of business; incidental or consequential damages; or costs in excess of billing for services related to the specific job.

The customer will defend and hold UnitedReprographics.com harmless in any suit or court action brought against by others for alleged damages, costs, expenses (including reasonable attorney's fees), liabilities or losses resulting from circumstances where, acting as the customer's agent, uses copy, photographs, or illustrations that are believed by others to be degrading, libelous or harmful to their reputations, images, or standing in the community or which in UnitedReprographics.com sole judgment is an infringement on a trademark, or trade name, or service mark, or copyright belonging to others, or in a suit or court action brought against for actions of the customer's employees which may occur as a result of any mailing.

Miscellaneous

All complaints must be registered within 24 hours of receipt of your final printing job. If we determine that your job contains manufacturing errors and/or defects, we will rerun your job at no charge.

All materials we create in producing your printed product are the property of UnitedReprographics.com.
