Payment
All prices and amounts shown on this Site are in Canadian Dollars (CAD), unless
otherwise noted. If a User submits a request on the Site to purchase printing
products, mailing services, design services or other services, the User agrees
that all charges, taxes and shipping and processing fees will automatically be
charged to the credit card or paid by User with an approved payment method.
Such amounts will be posted on this Site. Once a print job has been approved by
customer and “sent to press” on the Site, or by confirming through
e-mail, no changes are allowed to the artwork files, job characteristics, or
printing turnaround time. After a print job has been sent to S & S Signs
and Engraving Inc s prepress department, the customer is responsible for paying
the entire amount of that print job along with applicable taxes, shipping, and
processing fees, unless otherwise noted. In some cases, a refund may be
extended to the customer if no work has been done by S & S Signs and
Engraving Inc on that print job. Please note that no work will proceed on any
print job in your order until full payment is received by S & S Signs and
Engraving Inc
Payment Methods
All purchase requests must be submitted with an approved payment method unless
otherwise expressly stated. Approved payment methods include any of the
following methods:
· Pay by credit card. This is simple and safe. Most of our customers pay this
way.
· Pay by pre-pay, cash or check. Choose this option and finish your order.
After you’re done, we will instruct you on how to submit cash or mail your
check to us.
Our Sales Tax Policy
S & S Signs and Engraving Inc is required to collect sales tax on purchases
shipped to any provance(s) where sales tax is applicable. Sales Tax will be
calculated based on the printing and finishing product subtotal.
Color Accuracy and Hardcopy Proofs
S & S Signs and Engraving Inc will reproduce color from submitted
print-ready files as closely 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 (of the final printed product) is guaranteed to be
within 90% of the final proof you approved or S & S Signs and Engraving Inc
will reprint your job at no charge to the customer. Please note that S & S
Signs and Engraving Inc cannot guarantee color reproduction for your
print-ready files if you: (a) did not request a hardcopy proof; or (b)
purchased a product that does not feature a hardcopy proof option. Please note
that we accept no responsibility for color variations between submitted
print-ready images and the actual artwork or product they represent.
Artwork Files
Our prepress department checks most artwork files before printing, but you are
still 100% responsible for the accuracy of your print-ready artwork files, and
we encourage you to proofread all files carefully before submitting to S &
S Signs and Engraving Inc As postal regulations are subject to change, you are
also 100% responsible for complying with current mailing restrictions for your
layouts. Check with your local Post Office. Please note that we have created
file preparation guidelines and product templates to assist you in creating
print-ready files, and we also offer file preparation support services.
You certify that you have the right to use the image(s) in your artwork files.
DO NOT send any “one-of-kind” transparencies, prints or artwork.
Although we take every precaution to safeguard your materials, we are NOT
responsible for loss or damage of images or artwork.
Under these Terms and Conditions, you agree that you will NOT upload or send
any artwork files consisting of the following material: any material that could
give rise to any civil or criminal liability under applicable law; and any
material that could infringe rights of privacy, publicity, copyrights or other
intellectual property rights without the permission of the owner of these
rights and the persons who are shown in the material if applicable.
Printing Turnaround Time
Printing turnaround time begins once your order has been placed and your
print-ready files have been uploaded to S & S Signs and Engraving Inc ca or
sent to us by e-mail, attached to your printing job, and approved for printing.
Please note that if we are unable to print your files because they do not
conform to our file requirements, your job status will return to “Stand
by”, we will inform you and your printing turnaround time will be reset.
For printing jobs that do not have complete digital source files provided,
printing turnaround begins when we have your print-ready file(s) for your print
job, not from when the order is first submitted.
If your job or proof is approved by 10:00 a.m., printing turnaround time begins
that business day. For example, a job for three-day printing turnaround that
you approved by 1:00 P.M. on Tuesday will be shipped out to you by end of
business Friday. Please note that S & S Signs and Engraving Inc offices are
closed Saturdays, Sundays and Holidays. As a result, these days are not
considered when calculating printing turnaround time. In addition, printing
turnaround time does not include shipping transit time, and you should allow
additional business days for delivery based on the shipping method you
selected.
Printing turnaround time for jobs with approved payment and accepted
print-ready files is guaranteed. The remedy for failing to meet a deadline is
limited to a refund of any rush charges or a courtesy rush on your next order.
Cancellation of an order based on printing turnaround time is only allowed if
the customer indicates in writing (e.g., note posted to order) when placing the
original order that a job in the order is time sensitive and must be shipped by
target date based on printing turnaround option selected.
Shipping
Unless you choose Pick Up or Mailing Services, you need to select one of the
shipping options presented to you on the Site.
All shipping except Some Special Orders is currently done via UPS. When
choosing a shipping option, please remember that the estimated shipping transit
time is based on the number of business days in transit and does not include
weekends, holidays or the day the package is picked up by UPS. For instance, a
product shipped 2 nd Day Air and picked up on a Thursday would be delivered by
end of day Monday.
Shipping transit times vary, and S & S Signs and Engraving Inc assumes no
responsibility for delays caused by shipping carriers, weather or any damages
resulting from the failure to receive a job on time. Your order may arrive late
due to unforeseen delays in delivery service, the breakdown of equipment,
illness, etc.
Pick Up orders will be held for 30 days at our facility. After 30 days, we will
recycle your order.
You agree that shipping terms for all S & S Signs and Engraving Inc
products are shipped “Freight On Board Shipping Point” or “F.O.B. Shipping
Point” – Title and Risk of loss transfers to you at time of shipment or
pickup.
Target Arrival
Target arrival dates are calculated by adding the printing turnaround time to
the shipping transit time. If you are requesting a Hardcopy Proof, we already
factor in additional time to reach your target date. For Standard Hardcopy
Proof, expect approximately six business days to receive and approve your
proof. Both printing and shipping times are based on business days only and do
not include weekends or holidays.
For example, a product with a printing turnaround time of two business days and
a shipping method of 2nd Day Air would have a target arrival date four business
days after your files have been received by us.
The cut off time for accepting files is 10:00 a.m. If your files are in by that
time, we will commit to printing and shipping your product within the selected
timeframe.
Please understand that target arrival dates are estimates, not guarantees.
While we will do everything in our power to meet your target arrival date,
weather and other occurrences beyond our control may impact our ability to meet
that date.
