| When you place an online order with Kezer Corporation, you are agreeing to the following terms and conditions. For your safety, make sure you read all our policies before placing an order. | |
| TIMING | |
| Turnaround times begin ONLY when: | |
| 1. Full Payment has been placed with the order. 2. You have provided all the necessary specifications for the print job 3. All files have been correctly submitted. 4. You have approved an email or press proof and have given the ‘green light’ to proceed with production |
|
| The job will be scheduled with the pre-press production department immediately after order placement. Orders must be submitted by 4 p.m. Eastern Standard Time to be considered to be placed that business day. Orders placed after 4 p.m. will be considered placed on the subsequent business day. A proof will be forwarded to you the next business day after order placement. | |
| If a proof is furnished later than the next business day, print production will be expedited to make up for lost time. If your submission of files delays proofing, Kezer Corporation is under no obligation to expedite print production. In this case, late proof delivery will not be considered grounds for job cancellation. | |
| Although Kezer Corporation Print Vendors follow strict equipment maintenance programs and rarely miss production schedules, unexpected malfunctions and technical problems can occasionally delay the printing and pre-press process. Kezer Corporation will always act to make sure that any production difficulties do not delay delivery schedules. | |
| In case of delay caused by technical difficulty, rush fees will be waived or refunded, however technical difficulty will not be grounds for cancellation. If you cannot use printed material due to missed deadline, a credit will be issued. Refunds will not be issued, with the exception of rush fees. | |
| Kezer Corporation is not liable for any delay caused by Federal Express, UPS, or any other commercial shipping service. | |
| Kezer Corporation's low-cost pricing is based upon
the submission of print-ready files. Should you need help creating great designs that are print-ready, send your project to : art@kezercorp.com |
|
| Kezer Corporation also offers you the option of converting your non print-ready files to formats that will yield acceptable printing results. | |
| Included in our online printing estimates: • One online proof of your printing project • Access to our FTP site for transfer of large digital files • Set-up of print- ready digital files for the offset printing process • Experimental work, alterations and corrections fees • Experimental or preliminary work performed at customer's request will be charged at a rate of $150.00 per hour • Customer alterations include all work performed in addition to original specifications. All such work will be charged at a rate of $150.00 per hour. |
|
| PROOFING, COLOR MATCHING & PRINT QUALITY | |
| Kezer Corporation does not guarantee color matching or ink density on JPEG or PDF screen proofs. Screen proofs will predict text accuracy, image proportion and placement, but not color or density. Because of differences in equipment, paper, inks, and other conditions between color proofing and production pressroom operations, a reasonable variation in color between color proofs and the completed job is to be expected. When variation of this kind occurs, it will be considered acceptable performance. | |
| A match-print color proof guarantees a reasonable
likeness to the final printed pieces. While a match print will
accurately predict color, screen pattern and dot placement, a reasonable
variation between the match print and the final printed piece is to be
expected. When variations of this kind occur, it will be considered
acceptable performance. Only a press proof will represent the final print job with one hundred per cent accuracy and no variation. You must be present at a Kezer Corporation Local Print Vendor during press proof make-ready. Press proofs will be billed at the rate of $250.00 per press set up. |
|
| Any press time lost or alterations/corrections made because of the customer’s delay or change of mind will be charged at Kezer's current rate. | |
| You must provide high-resolution images suited to the offset printing process. Kezer Corporation is not liable for images printing as bit maps when this is caused by customers providing low-resolution images. | |
| Customers must provide all color printing images in CMYK format. Kezer Corporation is not responsible for any color shift that occurs in conversions from RGB to CMYK color modes. | |
| Trapping is a design function. We will set trapping if we design your documents or if you ask us to do so. Otherwise, Kezer will assume you have trapped the file correctly. Incorrect trapping will not be grounds for a redo or cancellation unless Kezer has set trapping. | |
| While Kezer Corporation will respect the gradient density of each color in a duo-tone, we are not liable for the final appearance of a duo-tone unless you order a press proof. | |
| Text smaller than ten points created in Photoshop may print in a pixilated or bit-mapped manner. In such instances Kezer Corporation will not be held liable for bit-mapped text. To avoid this it is best to use programs such as Quark Express or Adobe Illustrator to create text. Ordering a match print proof will predict whether bitmap text is a potential problem. | |
| Full color jobs that contain large solid areas of black ink should have the black set up as CMYK black. Kezer Corporation will not be liable for printing a consistent, solid and rich black if you have not done so. | |
| Any re-print request for either defective printing or insufficient quantity must be submitted in writing and within five business days of receipt of merchandise. | |

| Copyrights | |
| The client warrants that the subject matter to be printed is not copyrighted by a third party. The client also recognizes that because subject matter does not have to bear a copyright notice in order to be protected by copyright law, absence of such notice does not necessarily assure a right to reproduce. The client further warrants that no copyright notice has been removed from any material used in preparing the subject matter for reproduction. To support these warranties, the client agrees to indemnify and hold the supplier harmless for all liability, damages, and attorney fees that may be incurred in any legal action connected with copyright infringement involving the work produced or provided. | |
| Personal or economic rights | |
| The client also warrants that the work does not contain anything that is libelous or scandalous, or anything that threatens anyone's right to privacy or other personal or economic rights. The client will, at the client's sole expense, promptly and thoroughly defend Kezer Corporation in all legal actions on these grounds as long as the Kezer Corporation promptly notifies the client of the legal action and gives the client reasonable time to undertake and conduct a defense. The client reserves the right to use his or her sole discretion in refusing to print anything he or she deems illegal, libelous, scandalous, improper, or infringing upon copyright law. | |
| Liability: Disclaimer of Express Warranties | |
| Kezer Corporation warrants that the work is as described in the purchase order. The client understands that all sketches, copy, dummies, and preparatory work shown to the client are intended only to illustrate the general type and quality of the work.

| Kezer Corporation warrants only that the work will conform to the description contained in the purchase order. Kezer Corporation's maximum liability, whether by negligence, contract, or otherwise, will not exceed the amount specified in the contract.

| GANG-RUN PRINTING | |
| COLOR VARIATION | |
| ALL Gang-Run printing projects are subject to a 10% Color Variation, NO EXCEPTIONS! | |
| COLOR DISCLAIMERS | |
| ATTENTION: IF YOUR PRINT JOB IS COLOR CRITICAL a request for a
Matchrpint® or Digital Color Proof must be submitted along with your
job. COLOR CRITICAL should also be specified when submitting the job(s).
Prices for print jobs that are printed in gang run format differ from
prices of color critical jobs which need to be printed by them selves as
opposed to being printed on a gang run. A gang run is a way of printing jobs for clients which brings there cost down tremendously by printing several print jobs together on the same print run. If a job is color critical then the necessary attention it needs cannot be attained in a gang run format. Therefore the job must be printed by itself losing the discounted price of printing in a gang run format. Color Critical Jobs require a dedicated run and the press be calibrated to run that specific job only rather than a gang run with other print jobs. If you submit a job and do not request a Color Digital Proof, your job(s) will be printed as is. Kezer Corporation will not be liable for color disparity or variation with the job (within Gang Run Color Disclaimer). If a color proof is chosen by the customer then it will be Kezer Corporation's responsibility to match that proof and job will be printed accordingly. Kezer Corporation will make every effort to match the colors of your submitted art work; whether your job is color critical or not. Kezer Corporation will treat each job as if it were our own. It is you- the client’s- responsibility to determine whether or not the job is a color critical job and please choose your method of print accordingly. |
|
| LAYING OUT YOUR DOCUMENT | |
| The outer 1/8" edge of the artwork is considered a “safety area” that is utilized for cutting. No important images or text should be placed within this area. Although an 1/8 of inch is the minimum, we strongly recommend you use a 1/4 inch (.25). | |
| REMEMBER!!! | |
| Any business card or postcard you purchase from Kezer Corporation needs to be cut out of a bigger sheet before we ship it to you. This means that a Postcard (4.25 x 5.5) will have to be trimmed down when cut. The end result will be a product which is roughly 4.125 x 5.375. This is true of all of our sizes except Business Cards, which actually trim true to size at 3.5 x 2, and specialty jobs. If you are not clear on our cutting process please call a Customer Service representative for further explanation | |
