1. Accuracy:

Layout:
You are 100% responsible for the accuracy of your layouts. Please proofread all layouts carefully. Postal Regulations are subject to change and you are also 100% responsible for complying with current USPS Postal Regulations. PrintingHut.com reserves the right to refuse to print any material that PrintingHut.com determines, in its sole discretion, is immoral, illegal or inappropriate for any reason. If your material is deemed unacceptable, you will be notified promptly and permitted to change the content or layout to fit our requirements. You will not be charged for any services that are performed by PrintingHut.com on any job that is denied for the reasons described in this paragraph.

Color:
All printing orders are placed on our printing press with other jobs or “gang printed.” PrintingHut.com will reproduce color from submitted transparencies, slides, photos or digital layouts as closely and accurately as possible, but cannot exactly match color and density (as viewed in a 5000K light booth) because of limitations in the printing process, as well as neighboring image ink requirements. The accuracy of each color reproduction is guaranteed to be within a minimum of 85% of the original image you submit. PrintingHut.com accepts no responsibility whatsoever for color variations between submitted images and the actual artwork or product they represent. All colors contained within any RGB digital file will be converted to PrintingHut.com's CMYK color space. This may cause the RGB colors to visually change due to color space differences. You should also note that your computer monitor’s calibration affects the colors displayed on your monitor’s screen. The colors on the printed material may differ from what you see displayed when viewing your layout via PrintingHut.com’s online final approval process. The online proof only presents the design layout, text accuracy, image proportion and placement, but not color or density. For reprints, PrintingHut.com strongly suggests that you mail a hard copy of the original order for an accurate color review. Also, if your order is color critical, PrintingHut.com strongly suggests you purchase a hard copy color proof from PrintingHut.com.

2. Payment:

The fees for PrintingHut.com products and services, which include the cost of processing, printing, shipping and/or mailing, and any other charges applicable, are due and payable together with the submission of an order. PrintingHut.com requires pre-payment on all orders with the exception of certain customers pre-approved for Credit Terms. PrintingHut.com grants Credit Terms on the print portion of orders only. All mailing services and postage related fees must be prepaid. Please note that no orders will be mailed until an approved and signed mailing services invoice is returned from the customer authorizing payment. PrintingHut.com accepts Purchase Orders from government and educational institutions with prior approval and requires the submission of the PO number at the same time the order is submitted. Any amount due to PrintingHut.com, which is not paid, may result in non-delivery of the order, and interest charges as allowed by law. Customers are responsible for all related collection costs, legal fees and interest. All returned checks will be charged a fee of $45.

Sales Tax Policy:

All correspondence regarding the order must include the clients company name (in the subject line of an email or on the outside of a package/envelope) to avoid any delays in production. Completion of your job within our quoted Turnaround Time is dependent on receipt of your signed layout and final approval via fax. Expected delivery date and Turnaround Times are not guaranteed. Your order may arrive late due to unforeseen delays in delivery service, natural disaster, the breakdown of equipment, bad weather, etc. You are responsible for all customs, duties or fees related to an international shipment.
