- The customer represents that it has the legal right to
produce all printed materials ordered from VisualRealmPrinting.com. In the event
that a charge, claim or demand, or arbitration, action or proceeding (collectively,
a "Claim") is made or commenced against VisualRealmPrinting.com based upon,
relating to or arising from the alleged wrongful acts of the customers, or alleging
that the printing performed or product produced by VisualRealmPrinting.com ordered
by the customer: (a.) infringes any copyright, patent or other proprietary right

is not responsible for accidental loss or damage to media supplied by the client
or for errors on supplied artwork furnished by the client. Until VisualRealmPrinting.com

to work with jobs submitted in digital format, and no liability is assumed for
problems that may arise. Any additional translating, editing, or programming
needed to utilize client-supplied files will be charged at our current rates.
VisualRealmPrinting.com does not archive your work for longer than it takes to
produce the final product. Please save your work!
10. Alterations/Corrections
- Client alterations must be specified in writing
and must include all corrections or changes from the original specifications.
Such work will be charged at our current rates.
11. Prepress Proofs -
When requested by the customer, VisualRealmPrinting.com
will submit color proofs for the customer's review and approval. A high-resolution
color proof is available for an additional $60 on all printed material excluding
gang-run items. A minimum shipping charge of $25 is required to send a proof
via express air shipping. Proofs must be returned to VisualRealmPrinting.com
marked "O.K." or "Revised Proof Required" and signed by the customer. Until
the proof is returned, no additional work will be performed. VisualRealmPrinting.com
m will not be responsible for undetected production errors if: . Proofs are
waived by the client; . The work is printed per the client's written OK;
. Requests for changes are communicated verbally.
All requests for changes of any kind must be made in writing to avoid mistakes.
12. Color Proofing
- Because of differences in equipment, paper, inks, and other
conditions between color proofing and production pressroom operations, a "pleasing
color" variation between color proofs and the completed job [as determined by
generally accepted trade technical methods] is to be expected. When such a variation
occurs, it will be considered acceptable performance.
13. Overruns/Underruns
- VisualRealmPrinting.com will normally deliver the
exact quantity of goods ordered plus a small additional amount. There is no extra
charge for the additional amount. The generally accepted trade practice is plus
or minus 10%.
14. Delivery
- Charges for delivery of materials and supplies from the client
or the client's supplier to VisualRealmPrinting.com are not included in quotations
unless specified. VisualRealmPrinting.com is not responsible for delays and/or
damage incurred during shipping. Title for finished work passes to the customer
upon delivery to the carrier at shipping point; or upon mailing of invoices for
the finished work or its segments, whichever comes first.
15. Claims
- Claims for defects, damages, or shortages must be made by the client
in writing no later than 48 Hours after delivery. If no such claim is made, VisualRealmPrinting.com
and the client will understand that the job has been accepted. By accepting the
job, the client acknowledges that VisualRealmPrinting.com’s performance has fully
satisfied all terms, conditions and specifications. Under no circumstances shall
postage be credited or refunded. Customer acknowledges that once your job leaves
our facility, VisualRealmPrinting.com is in no way responsible for the delivery
of your mail. Any claims for failure of mail to reach its' intended destination,
tardiness of mail delivery, etc. shall not be considered and no compensation
of any type will be offered. Customer understands and agrees that if they should
attempt to reverse a credit card charge (chargeback) and are unsuccessful (defined
as losing the chargeback dispute) that VisualRealmPrinting.com shall be entitled
to recover costs associated with the chargeback such as accounting and legal
time. Customer agrees to pay either 50% of the cost of their order or $250.00-
whichever is greater. Customer expressly authorizes VisualRealmPrinting.com to
charge their credit card for the appropriate fees upon notification from either
Visa, Mastercard or American Express that the dispute has been decided in favor
of VisualRealmPrinting.com and agrees to waive any protest to said charge.
16. Disputes & Venue
- For legal purposes, the venue for any dispute shall be
Pinellas County, Florida, USA.
17. Right to Subcontract -
VisualRealmPrinting.com shall have the right to
assign any portion of the work required to another contractor.
18. Workmanship Guarantee
- Because of the nature of "gang run" style printing
VisualRealmPrinting.com shall not be held responsible for the following issues
which may occur during our production process: variation in color, cutting variations,
marking, picking, etc. With "gang run" style printing it is possible that all
printed materials may be trimmed by 1/16th of an inch undersized on all sides
(please address all art appropriately). Customer acknowledges that they are receiving
gang run style printing at a substantial price discount and expedited delivery
times and thus said printing will not be held to the same standard as traditional
offset lithography nor generally accepted printing standards. While every effort
will be made to satisfy our customer's needs, requests for reprints or credits
based on quality issues will not be recognized.
19. Turnaround Guarantee
- VisualRealmPrinting.com estimates that all orders
on 14 pt card stock containing only flat pieces will be ready to ship within
3-5 business days from the business day that the order was placed, as long as
files are in before our cutoff time of 3pm EST. All orders placed after 3pm EST.
will be considered as ordered the following business day. VisualRealmPrinting.com
will aim to complete your job in the 3-5 day turnaround, but cannot guarantee
a specific shipping or delivery date. The 3-5 day turnaround is an estimate,
not a guarantee. Orders printed on 14pt cardstock are the only products that
have the estimated turnaround. This turnaround does not apply to pieces that
need to be folded, scored, die cut, perforated, drilled or any other finishing
besides printing and cutting. Business cards are also not guaranteed within 3-5
business days. Please note: We are not responsible for delays due to equipment
failure. If a 24 hour rush does not ship out within 24 hours, the rush fee will
be refunded, but under no circumstances will the full order be refunded.
20. Privacy Statement
- Any information VisualRealmPrinting.com collects from
order processing or from any inquiries is not shared with any other company.
Your information is only used for contact, billing, and shipping purposes. Your
credit card information is never stored by VisualRealmPrinting.com.
21. Samples
- VisualRealmPrinting.com might use your product for samples or
advertising purposes.
22. Billing/Promotional Pricing -
Your credit card bill will read "VisualRealmPrinting.com " From
time to time we may offer promotional discounts or special pricing. If you receive
a promotional code, this code must be entered online at the time your order is
placed. Under no circumstances will we credit, refund or in any way compensate
you or honor this promotional price if you fail to enter this code. Promotional
discounts and special pricing are subject to change without notice and may be
withdrawn at anytime using our sole discretion. Likewise, VisualRealmPrinting.com
reserves the right to deny promotional discounts or special pricing should we
deem the promotional code used was obtained fraudulently.
23. Inkjet Proofs
- Inkjet and laser prints are known to look substantially
different than offset printing. We offer quick turnaround and low prices by printing
to a "pleasing color" standard, using standard ink densities. There is no guarantee
that your finished piece will match your printed sample. This is due to the varying
results from different output devices including inkjet printers, continuous tone
proofing devices, and film-based proofs.
24. Changes -
VisualRealmPrinting.com may change, modify, add or remove portions
of this policy at any time, and any changes will become effective immediately
upon being posted unless we tell you otherwise. This policy was updated on April
29, 2008.
