Turnaround Time
Although we make every possible effort to turn jobs around in the estimated times offered, your job may require more time due to unforeseeable or uncontrollable circumstances or finishing services added onto the job. We will not credit customers if a job runs past the estimated turnaround time. TURNAROUND TIMES ARE AN ESTIMATE, NOT A GUARANTEE!
Order Cancellation / Refund Policy
Any print media printed by We The Printers is a custom made product specifically for you. By approving your digital proof, through email or through our website, you understand, and agree, that NO refunds will be given.
You also understand, and agree, your order CANNOT be cancelled as your job will be processed directly into production. You also understand and agree that completed print orders are AS-IS and NON-RETURNABLE. Completed print orders are custom made based on artwork submitted by you, or designed by We The Printers.
If you did not approve your digital proof and the order has not gone off to print, you are eligible for a refund if requested. Orders that are cancelled are subject to a cancellation fee based on the current production status of your job.
NO CASH REFUNDS — There will be no cash refunds of any kind AFTER a job has been approved for print.
REFUNDS, if issued, WILL BE IN THE FORM OF IN-HOUSE CREDIT!
Digital Printing Proofs / Color Accuracy
Upon your approval, We The Printers is NOT RESPONSIBLE for any typos or incorrect info along with any colors/content submitted with your print files. If there is any discrepancy with your digital proof, please DO NOT HESITATE to contact us to make changes. Delayed communication may put a delay on your order! Digital proofs are a courtesy allowing you to see an example of print orientation and mask placements. However, digital proofs DO NOT guarantee exact color that is seen on screen. The print color, mask placement and graphic sizing may not be 100% accurate due to being a digital representation of a printed item.
If digital artwork files are submitted to We The Printers, by the customer for printing, the customer is responsible for the content and color formulas chosen inside the submitted artwork. You also understand, and agree, that we use the gang-run print method in which can have a color shift tolerance between a 10-15% shade. We DO NOT guarantee exact print color because of this method.
For each job, the customer may be required to supply a color hardcopy proof of their job when placing their order. If the job is two-sided, folds or binds (like brochures and catalogs), then a working model (mockup) of the job is required to indicate backup, page orientation, folding, binding and page order/assignment. We are not responsible for any such errors if a working model is not provided prior to proofing. We are also not responsible for any and all errors in the customer’s printing job if they select the “Run As Is. No Proof” option.
Reprints
We reserve the right to update and revise this Returns/Refund/Reprint Policy without prior notice to reflect changes in our policies, services and/or in response to our customers’ feedback. When we do make changes to this Policy we will revise the “last updated” date at the top of this Policy. Please make sure that you review it frequently as any time you place an order with We The Printers the current Returns/Refund/Reprint Policy will apply.
We guarantee that our printed products will not be defective in accordance with industry standards. You may contact our Customer Service Department and a We The Printers representative will be pleased to help address any general issues you may have with your print job.
If you believe your print job is defective or has not otherwise met your requirements please contact We The Printers, IN WRITING via the online support system, within six (6) business days of receiving your order. If you do not contact us within this time frame we will assume that your job was satisfactory upon receipt and will be under no obligation to provide a refund or reprint. Once you have contacted us, we will then have five (5) business days to determine if a reprint or refund is appropriate, or to advise you that more information is needed to process your inquiry. If we request additional information to verify an inquiry and it is not provided within a reasonable time, we will be under no obligation to provide a reprint or refund.
If we determine that a product is in fact defective or has not otherwise met our obligations, we will initiate a reprint of the print job with rush production. If after a reprint we are unable to resolve the issue, we will then offer the issue of a refund of the original order price. We reserve the right to request samples of any allegedly defective merchandise prior to either of the above resolutions being agreed to.
A Customer Service representative will generally contact you within 24-48 hours of us making the determination that a reprint or refund is appropriate in order to confirm the approved solution. If you do not make contact with our representative within five (5) business days of their first attempt to contact you with the approved solution we will assume that the issue has been otherwise resolved and no reprint or refund will be given. Once the approved solution is agreed then, unless we agree otherwise, you must return the entire original print order to us, at the address provided by our Customer Service representative, within 15 calendar days after the date the solution is approved. If you do not return it within this time frame you agree that the original order will be charged against your credit card on file with We The Printers.
A reprint or refund will only be possible after an approved solution has been authorized and, unless we agree otherwise, provided that the entire original print order has been returned to and received by us.
A reprint will begin rush production within one (1) business day of our confirmed receipt of the product or such earlier time as we may agree to. When applicable, a refund will be issued within 10 business days of our receipt of the original product order.
The forgoing is We The Printers sole responsibility with respect to a defective order. To the maximum extent permitted by law, We The Printers is not responsible for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or exemplary damages, including, but not limited to, damages for loss of profits, goodwill, use, data or other intangible losses (even if We The Printers has been advised of the possibility of such damages), resulting from the order. The following are some guidelines and examples of issues that do not constitute grounds for a refund, or a return or reprint of a product:
• An order that is refused at time of delivery or undeliverable orders. (We will reship the product at the customer’s expense if requested).
• The product is lost, delayed or returned to We The Printers due to an error made by the customer in submitting the proper shipping address. (For product that is later found or that is returned to us we will reship the package with a corrected address and charge an additional shipping fee for the shipment).
• Product that is delayed in production and/or shipping as a result of the customer providing inaccurate information.
• Product that incurs a higher shipping charge as a result of the customer providing inaccurate information.
• Product that is delayed in production and/or shipping as a result of shipping company delays, acts of God, weather conditions, environmental or dangerous goods incidents, perils of the air, public enemies, public authorities acting with actual or apparent authority, acts or omissions of customs officials, authority of law, quarantine, riots, strikes, work stoppages or slowdowns, or other labor disputes or disturbances, civil commotions or hazards incident to a state of war, local or national disruptions in ground or air transportation networks or systems due to events beyond our control, disruption or failure of communication and information systems, disruption or failure of utilities, international customs issues, and any other circumstances that are beyond our direct control.
• Product that has experienced a color shift during the conversion to CMYK format, for example as a result of having been submitted by the customer in RGB or PMS Pantone colors.
• Errors that are contained in the uploaded customer file, e.g., misspelling, graphics, bleeds, grammar, damaged fonts, punctuation, wrong cuts, incorrect or missing folds, die lines, crop marks, transparency, overprint, and finished product size. We The Printers does not make any changes on customer files.
• Product that experiences print or images that are fuzzy, pixilated or otherwise distorted as a result of the customer providing artwork that is not at a minimum of 300 DPI at 1:1 ratio (or 100%) and/or in CMYK mode.
• Products that do not exactly match color or ink density. We The Printers does not color match or match customer specified ink density.
• An inability to print or write on the product, unless the product description states otherwise. A typical UV coated product cannot be printed or written upon. Silk Laminated and Matte finished products may or may not accept printing or writing. We recommend that you order a sample from us and test it using the printer/ink you will use before placing a final order. We The Printers is not responsible for an inability to print or write on a product, unless the product specifically states that it is suitable for this purpose.
• Orders that are duplicated as a result of customer error.
• Orders that are canceled after the order has entered into production (or any process thereafter).
• Orders that contain dated materials that arrive after the relevant date or with insufficient time to use the material as intended.
• It is a customer’s responsibility to allow sufficient time when placing an order for time sensitive materials.
• A customer’s violation of any of the terms and conditions governing the use of We The Printers’s website and/or ordering of product. Viruses, worms, trojan horses and other forms of harmful or malicious code that are not detected or removed using We The Printers’s standard virus/malicious code detection procedures.
• Loss, corruption of, or damage to your personal information, Customer Content, order history or related information that is stored by We The Printers.
• Our failure to notify you of any delay, loss or damage in connection with your printed products or shipment or any inaccuracy in such notice.
• The release of an order by the shipper without obtaining a signature. Please note that We The Printers provision of advice, assistance or guidance either on this Website or via our Customer Service representatives does not constitute an acceptance of responsibility or liability for any problems that may arise in connection with any print order or services provided.
Over/Under Runs
Although we endeavor to ship the quantity ordered, We The Printers reserves the right to ship within 5% over or under the requested quantity. If a minimum quantity is a necessity we recommend that you adjust the total quantity ordered to account for the possibility of an under run. If an exact quantity is an absolute necessity please contact one of customer service representatives.
Color Proof Accuracy
Please note that although color proofs supplied to the customer are highly calibrated and very accurate, they cannot match the final printed product 100%. This is due to the fact that proofs are created in a different way than the printed piece (ink, paper stock, registration, line screens, etc.) Also note that the customer proof may not closely match our proofs or the printed piece either for the same reasons, and because the customer supplied proofs are not calibrated to our presses.
