2. TURNAROUND: We use commercially reasonable efforts to meet your expectations and requests, including production and shipping dates. However, quoted and published ship or mail dates are best estimates and not to be considered guarantees.
3. SCHEDULE: Production turnaround time begins after you approve your proof. For proofs approved after 12:00 pm (Eastern Time), production turnaround time will begin the next business day. Business days are considered Monday through Friday. Holidays are excluded from business days.
4. PAYMENT TERMS: All orders must be prepaid before commencing production. We reserve the right to place jobs on indefinite hold if the credit card declines or for payment pending via check. There are no net credit terms accounts unless pre-approved in writing by management and secured by credit card or deposit. You authorize us to charge any credit card or debit card previously authorized for unpaid or overdue accounts not received within payment terms (if applicable).

5. Taxes. Client is responsible for all sales, use, digital gross receipts, or excise taxes, and any other similar taxes, duties and charges of any kind, applicable to taxable products and services provided under this Agreement (“Taxes”). We may collect and remit Taxes in certain jurisdictions . Depending upon the rules of the applicable jurisdiction, Taxes may apply to the selling price or to our production costs. To the extent a service is taxable in a jurisdiction where we do not collect Taxes, Client may be required to self-assess and remit Taxes directly to the jurisdiction . We and Client shall cooperate to minimize Taxes, including the defense of audits and inquiries by taxing authorities as they arise, and this cooperation shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
6. ALL SALES ARE FINAL: Because each print job is created custom for you, it cannot be reused or resold. ALL SALES ARE FINAL.
7. ORDER CANCELLATIONS AND REFUNDS: Credits or refunds for cancellation of orders are available on orders that have NOT been placed into production. If an order is cancelled AFTER we have sent a proof to you, but BEFORE it is approved by you, a refund will be provided to you less a $50 administrative fee for work completed prior to cancellation. If an order is cancelled AFTER a proof is approved by you but BEFORE it is placed into production, on written cancellation a refund will be given less a $100 fee for all work completed prior to cancellation. There are no refunds if an order is cancelled AFTER it has been placed into production. Cancellation for additional services are specified on the attached Rider for Additional Services.
   Orders with custom dies, third-party services (such as variable data postcards or post-press services), or special “non-returnable” paper stocks are not refundable after the order is placed.
   If you need to cancel an order placed, you must email the cancellation request to sales@growmail.com AND call and speak with our representative to confirm receipt of the cancellation and the cancellation charges at that point in time. Sending the email, or livechat, without confirmation is not enough to cancel an order.
8. CLAIMS AND RETURNS: Claims for defects, damages, or shortages must be timely made by you in writing no later than 10 calendar days after delivery. If no such claim is made, you agree the order and performance tendered by us have been accepted. If a job is unacceptable to you due to true defects in workmanship, and all the materials shipped are returned to us for inspection and confirmation of the defects, we will reprint the job at no cost, or issue a credit for future orders. No cash refunds are offered. Please note that the FULL original order must be returned to us and inspected.No reprints or credits are offered for the following reasons (these are not considered defects):
   1. • Low resolution or low quality graphics and images as supplied by you
      • Spelling, punctuation, and grammatical errors from your approved proof
      • Damaged fonts
      • Transparency
      • Overprint
        · Color reproduction
      • Artwork files that are not created following our or USPS specifications
      • Variances in color from the conversion of Pantone or RGB colors to CMYK
      • Errors in user-selected options such as size, quantity, paper and finish
      • Duplicate orders submitted by you
      • Incorrect files uploaded by you
      • Incorrect file orientation on your provided files.
      • Cracking on folds
      • Cutting variances
      • Incorrect or undeliverable shipping address
9. SHIPPING TERMS: All shipments are FOB Shipping Point from our manufacturing location. We assume no liability for damage in shipping, missing, or otherwise delayed shipments.
10. COLOR REPRODUCTION: Because of differences in equipment manufacturers, including paper, inks, lighting, and other conditions, all print jobs utilize a “pleasing color” spectrum as determined by generally accepted printing trade practices. The color output of your print job is not guaranteed to match any other print order or previous printed copy. We are not responsible 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.
11. PROOFING PROCESS: If you select “online proof” or request a digital proof, we will send an email notice shortly after receiving it into our production department. Please take note that an online proof is not an accurate color reproduction of the final printed piece but is a final opportunity for you to check the layout, bleeds, crops, and final text. The proofing process is very important to avoid any unintended issues.Approval of the correct and final print version is your sole responsibility. We are not responsible for any copy or design errors committed on edits once approved by you.
12. COLOR PRINTER AND INKJET OR COLOR COPIES: Inkjet and laser prints will look substantially different than commercial 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 its printed sample. This is due to the varying results from different output devices including inkjet printers, continuous tone proofing devices, and film-based proofs. Consumer printers are known to saturate colors and glossy “photo” paper will look different.
13. CONTENT: We reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to: i) refuse to provide service to you at any time and for any reason; or ii) print anything we deem improper, offensive, or known to be illegal. You guarantee that you have the legal authority to allow us to use all matter submitted to us by you, including but not limited to the necessary license and permission to use any copyrighted material, trademarks, or graphics. You are solely responsible for the content of all matter submitted to us by you. We are not liable for any damages resulting from violation of copyright laws or illegal use of trade names or slogans.
14. PUBLICITY AND MARKETING. We (including our affiliates) may use your name, logo, and printed or  creative content for use in promotional materials and on our website, without your prior review or approval.
15. QUOTES AND ESTIMATES: Written estimates are good for 10 days. All printing and mailings must be completed within 30 days from the quoted estimate. An estimate not accepted within 10 days may be subject to change. Prices are subject to change without notice. Quotations are based on the accuracy and completeness of the specifications and selections provided by you in writing. We reserve the right to modify a prior quotation made if, at the time of submission of the order, the art or other parameter does not conform to the information on which the original estimate was based.
16. OVERRUN/UNDERRUN: We will normally deliver the exact quantity of goods ordered plus a small additional amount. There is no extra charge for the additional amount. Should an order be delivered with less than the amount ordered, you agree that a credit issued for the value of the shorted pieces is acceptable as full satisfaction owed for the shorted items.
17. CUSTOMER FILES: It is your responsibility to maintain a copy of the original computer files, artwork. We are not responsible for accidental loss or damage to media supplied by you or for errors on supplied artwork furnished by you. We do not always archive your work for longer than it takes to produce the final product. DO NOT send any “one-of-kind” prints or artwork.
18. STOCK PHOTOGRAPHY LICENSE: All materials we create in producing printed materials or postcards are the property of us and/or our affiliates or licensors, and are protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws. This includes typeset layouts and color scans. We may use licensed stock images for customer designs, under our corporate license. You may not re-use the material that we create for any other purpose other than the printed piece provided by us.

We are not liable for any returns other than those in excess of the Return Levels. The sole remedy for exceeding the Return Levels shall be refund of the postage of those items that exceed the Return Levels.Due to contractual terms with third-party mailing data providers, we are unable to refund on mailing list purchases once procured regardless if the list has been mailed or used in any capacity by P you.
23. POSTAGE FEES: You should explicitly recognize that we are not the USPS and any money paid for postage is collected and paid to USPS on your behalf.
