By Placing An Order On PFGPrinting.com, You Agree To The Following Terms:<\/span><\/p>

CRITICAL COLOR REPRODUCTION INFORMATION<\/b><\/p>

PFG Printing utilizes a process of printing referred to as “Gang-Run Printing” which provides affordable four-color printing. “Gang-Run Printing” will group your job with other jobs allowing overall production costs and expenses to be shared with our other customers.<\/span><\/p>

Because of variances in paper, equipment, inks, and other conditions between color proofing and production pressroom operations, a “pleasing color” [as determined by generally accepted trade technical methods] is to be expected with gang-run printing. When such a variation occurs, it will be considered acceptable performance. PFG Printing accepts no responsibility for color variations between submitted files and the final printed piece achieved from utilizing the gang-run process. Under <\/span>NO<\/b> circumstances will a reprint be honored for color variations that have occurred during the gang-run printing process. If you require a more precise printed product please request a <\/span>custom quote<\/span><\/a>. By placing an order you are agreeing to all of our terms and conditions.<\/span><\/p>

  1. Quotations\/Estimates<\/b><\/li><\/ol>

    1. Payment Terms<\/b><\/li><\/ol>

      ALL<\/b> orders must be prepaid due to the speed of our turnaround. In the event the details of an order\/job have been modified and an unpaid balance is created, the card used to place the original order will be charged. Charges typically will occur within 24-48 hours of the modification, but can take up to 45 days depending on our current workload as these charges must first be individually verified by a human.<\/b><\/p>

      1. Orders<\/b><\/li><\/ol>

        PFG Printing reserves the right to upgrade the coating or quantity, at no additional charge, for any product ordered (excluding mailer pieces or unless otherwise stated in the details\/special instructions). PFG Printing also reserves the right to use its sole discretion in refusing to print anything it deems improper or known to be illegal. PFG Printing is not liable for any damages resulting from unwitting violation of copyright laws or illegal use of trade names or slogans. The client guarantees the legal title of all matter submitted to PFG Printing for printing and\/or publication.<\/span><\/p>

        1. Order Approval\/Proofing<\/b><\/li><\/ol>

          PFG Printing has and assumes no obligation to proof or otherwise review the content or layout of your order. Even if a PFG Printing customer service representative has inquired as to the attributes of one of your prior orders, you are not entitled nor should you assume that PFG Printing will review any other order you place. Orders are printed in their “as submitted” form and the customer is fully responsible for final proof and layout verification and approval prior to submission to the print process. PFG Printing DOES NOT make any changes on customer files. Once you submit an order to the print process you are agreeing that you are fully satisfied with the document layout and content and you accept responsibility for any errors therein. PFG Printing will assume that you have verified the spelling, grammar, content and layout, etc. are all correct and it will not accept any liability for errors such as misspelling, graphics, grammar, damaged fonts, punctuation, transparency, overprint, improper layout, bleeding, erroneous cut or fold lines, die lines or crop marks, sizing, etc.<\/span><\/p>

          PFG Printing does not provide proofs of any order unless the customer requests it as part of the order process and it is an option available for the product. If you request a proof then it is your responsibility to verify the proof against the original (and to correct any spelling or grammatical errors, etc).<\/span><\/p>

          If a proof is requested, then your job will not be processed or deemed production ready until you have approved the proof in writing. Please be aware that this may impact the job turnaround time.<\/span><\/p>

          1. Flyer Tagging<\/b><\/li><\/ol>

            PFG Printing reserves the right to place a tag similar to “Printed by PFG Printing” on the printed material unless customer states that they would prefer it not to appear when initially placing order. Under no circumstances will PFG Printing tag business cards, stickers or reseller accounts.<\/span><\/p>

              1. Cancellations<\/b><\/li><\/ol>

                Cancelled orders require compensation for incurred costs and related obligations at the time of cancellation. Due to the speed of our turnaround, you may only cancel a job the same business day you place your order. The cancellation must occur before the cutoff time that applies to your order and the related product(s) that were ordered. A minimum charge of $35 + 3% of total job cost (includes shipping) is applied to jobs canceled. No refunds will be issued for orders cancelled after the business day order was placed. In those instances we will issue store credit.<\/span><\/p>

                1. General Refund Policy<\/b><\/li><\/ol>

Orders placed with PFG Printing are to the client’s knowledge correct, and there are no conditions or agreements relating to the order which are not written or accompanying said order.<\/span><\/p>

                        1. Liability<\/b><\/li><\/ol>

The decision rendered by the arbitrator shall be accompanied by a written opinion in support thereof and shall be final, conclusive and binding upon the parties in the dispute without right of appeal.

The fees and expenses of such arbitration shall be borne by the non-prevailing party, as determined by such arbitration.<\/span><\/p>

                            1. Indemnification<\/b><\/li><\/ol>

                              The customer represents that it has the legal right to produce all printed materials ordered from PFG Printing. In the event that a charge, claim or demand, or arbitration, action or proceeding (collectively, a “Claim”) is made or commenced against PFG Printing based upon, relating to or arising from the alleged wrongful acts of the customers, or alleging that the printing performed or product produced by PFG Printing ordered by the customer: (a.) infringes any copyright, patent or other proprietary right of any person; or (b.) contains matter that is libelous, slanderous, defamatory, scandalous or obscene, the customer shall indemnify and hold PFG Printing harmless from and against any loss, damages, cost and expense arising from or related to the Claim including without limitation; (1.) defending PFG Printing against any such Claim (2.) paying any judgment or award against the customer; and (3.) reimbursing PFG Printing for any legal fees and expenses it reasonably incurs in responding.<\/span><\/p>

PFG Printing is not responsible for accidental loss or damage to media supplied by the client or for errors on supplied artwork furnished by the client.

                                1. Alterations\/Corrections<\/b><\/li><\/ol>

                                  1. Prepress\/Hardcopy Proofs<\/b><\/li><\/ol>

                                    When ordered by the customer, PFG Printing will submit color proofs for the customer’s review and approval.

                                        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.<\/span><\/p>

PFG Printing 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. If the “pickup” option is selected when the order is originally placed you will have 15 calendar days to retrieve materials. If more than 15 calendar days elapses the order is considered abandoned and PFG Printing has the right to discard materials, unless otherwise agreed upon in writing. Orders that have delivery or shipping selected will be shipped immediately upon completion. Shipping carriers visit our plant mon-fri (4pm-6pm) and pickup completed orders, exceptions are holidays or if the office is closed due to inclement weather. If your order is not ready by the time the shipping carrier visits our plant, your order will be picked up the following business day. Airline cargo is handled differently, as we take those orders directly to the airport. If you will be picking up your order on a Saturday, please be aware Saturday pickup is a courtesy service and is by appointment only. If Saturday pickup is available you will be contacted prior to Saturday and be given an exact time that someone will be available; please be aware Saturday pickup is a courtesy service and is by appointment only.<\/span><\/p>

                                                PFG Printing shall have the right to assign any portion of the work required to another vendor.<\/span><\/p>

                                                  3. The final piece MAY be up to an 1\/8th inch smaller or larger than actual order size unless exact size is selected.<\/span><\/li>

                                                  9. If we only receive one file for a job we will assume that file is to be used for side 1 and side two is blank, unless otherwise stated.<\/span><\/li>

                                                        Purchasing non-standard upgraded turnaround should NOT be construed as a guarantee and does not apply to any additional production. Additional production includes, but is not limited to folding, scoring, perforating, die-cutting and drilling.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

                                                        Print turnaround times displayed on website or email are only estimates. At PFG Printing’s discretion, if a job does ship by the estimated turnaround, PFG Printing may issue a store credit towards the customer’s next order, but the customer must request this credit. The amount of the credit is at the discretion of PFG Printing. Resellers do not qualify for store credit.

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 proof. This is due to the varying results from different output devices including inkjet printers, continuous tone proofing devices, and film-based proofs.<\/span><\/p>
