See2it Design & Printing Inc. is based in Ontario. Any legal action or proceeding relating to or arising from your access to or use of this Site shall be instituted in Ontario.

In no event shall See2it Design & Printing Inc. or its licensors, suppliers, or vendors, their officers, directors, employees, or agents, be liable for any special, incidental, indirect, or consequential damages of any kind, or for any damages whatsoever resulting from loss of use, data or profits, whether or not See2it Design & Printing Inc. has been advised of possibility of the damage, arising out of or in connection with the use or performance of the site or of failure to provide services that you order from See2it Design & Printing Inc. or its affiliates, including without limitation, damages arising from mistake, omission, virus, delay, or interruption of service.

Customer Submitted Artwork or Graphics

All artwork or designs and images must be provided in CMYK format. See2it Design & Printing Inc. is not responsible for any colour shift that occurs in conversions from RGB to CMYK colour modes. All artwork, designs and images must be provided in minimum of 300 DPI and CMYK colour mode. See2it Design & Printing Inc. is not responsible for images printed as fuzzy, distorted or pixilated due to customer provided artwork. Additional fees may apply for the files larger than 30MB.

PDF Proofs

Files are checked on a first come first served basis. If a PDF proof is requested it can take up to 24 hours before your files are checked due to the large volume of orders we receive. If your files are set up correctly you will receive a proof by email or an email with a link to your on-line proofs. PDF proofs are meant to check for layout only and not meant to check colours. We also suggest that if your job is colour critical, you purchase a press match proof. This proof normally costs $90.00 CAD. Please keep in mind that while we will try our best to match proofs, We DO NOT GUARANTEE COLOR MATCHING.

 

PDF proofs will NOT be sent out for the following formats: PSD, TIF, JPG, BMP, GIF, PCX, PNG, PDF. These formats are flattened where images and fonts will not change. Customers will not be notified and production will start on these orders immediately.

Colour Matching and Press Match Proofs

Please note that your monitor's calibration affects what you see on your screen. The colours on the printed product may differ from what you see on your screen. Customer supplied proofs are not acceptable as they are not calibrated to our presses. Jobs without proofs will be printed following generally recognized industry standards. To ensure proper colour matching the Customer must purchase a press match proof. This proof normally costs $90.00 CAD. Please keep in mind that while we will try our best to match proofs, See2it Design & Printing Inc. is not liable for the final appearance of a colour. WE DO NOT GUARANTEE COLOR MATCHING.

 

Because of differences in equipment, processing, proofing substrates, paper, inks, pigments, and other conditions between colour proofing and production pressroom operations, a reasonable variation in colour between colour proofs and the completed job shall constitute acceptable delivery. See2it Design & Printing Inc. is not liable for colour matching or ink density on press match proofs approved by the customers. Press match proofs will predict design layout, text accuracy, image proportion and placement, but not colour or density. Application of UV or any other coating may effect or change the appearance of the printed colours. See2it Design & Printing Inc. is not liable for the final colour appearance of a UV or other coated product(s).

Printing and Cutting

We cannot guarantee that all orders purchased through See2it Design & Printing Inc. will be 100% consistent in colour and material. See2it Design & Printing Inc. will reproduce colour from digital layouts as closely as possible, but cannot exactly match colour and density because of limitations in the printing process, as well as neighboring image ink requirements. The accuracy of each colour reproduction is guaranteed to be within 85-90% to the press match proof we offer. We accept no responsibility for colour variations between submitted images and the actual artwork or product they represent. Any jobs that require emboss, foil stamping, Spot UV, Lamination or die cutting can vary up to a 1/8". ALL files must have an 1/8" bleed all around. A $25 fee may be charged to create a bleed if it has not been incorporated in your files. This fee is solely at our discretion.

 

Critical type or images must be at least 1/4" from the edge of the card. See2it Design & Printing Inc. is not responsible for type, art or images that are cut off if these guidelines are not followed. Furthermore, it is strongly suggested that you do not use a thin border around your postcard. This may cause an uneven frame around your card. If you want to have a border, it should be at least 1/4" thick.

 

Minor variations in colour consistency, material thickness, and finish are inherent to the manufacturing process. By placing your order with See2it Design & Printing Inc. you agree to accept merchandise with such reasonable manufacturing variations.

Stock

Please note that there can be variances in the thickness of stock by up to 1pt.

Colour Effect for Envelopes, Letterhead and Orders Using Uncoated Paper

Please note that for letterhead, envelopes and other orders using uncoated paper stock, we recommend you not use colours with high colour density. By this we mean dark colours (black, purple, blue, brown, etc). Dark colours tend to get soaked into the paper if their colour values are too high. For best results, use light colours.

Cancellation Policy

Once an order has been received and has entered the production cycle, refunds are not allowed. No partial refunds will be given for work not completed. Customers requiring modifications to their order after viewing PDF proofs will be charged a $25 fee. We urge clients to proof read all materials prior to submitting artwork and not to use our PDF proof service as a way of checking final content. Customers wishing to cancel orders once PDF proofs have been generated will incur a mandatory $75 fee. This fee is not negotiable and will be charged in full.

 

Orders that have been charged and are set to Order Received, Waiting for Files or Waiting for Approval can not be refunded but are eligible for cancellation upon request via email until commencement of production, subject to applicable cancellation charges. A credit voucher is issued with a value equal to the cancelled job(s). The voucher will expire six months after initial activation. If a job is cancelled, charges for any labour hours (proof, graphic design, etc.) or administrative fees (credit cards fees, etc.) will be subtracted from your voucher. The minimum cancellation charge is $50 plus any credit card charges. Once the order has been placed successfully, NO REFUNDS are issued for logo creation, graphic design, and web design services. Please note that for any late orders we provide a discount of 15% off up to a maximum of $25.00 credit to be used on a future order.

Returns and Refunds

Since each order is unique to the Customer and has no re-sale value, ALL SALES ARE FINAL. If we verify that we made an error, we will re-print the order. No Refunds or Credit will be issued. Our liability should be limited to the reprinting of any defective order and in no case will include special or consequential charges, including expenses, rush shipping, profits lost due to damages. The Customer must notify See2it Design & Printing Inc. within 5 business days of order acceptance of any defects discovered in the ordered product, failing which the Customer is deemed satisfied with the product. Where replacement is appropriate, the Customer must first return 100% of the received product within 15 days (at their own expense) from the time when the ordered product delivery was taken. All charges related to expedite printing (Rush Printing or Shipping) are NOT REFUNDABLE, including for those orders that are returned for any reason.

Turnaround

Our posted turnaround times begin ONLY after an order has been "received". Orders are considered "received" and are put into production ONLY when the following conditions have been met:

 
  1. An ORDER FORM has been completely filled out online,
  2. All files have been correctly submitted,
  3. The customer has approved the files or proof and has given the go ahead to proceed with production, and
  4. Payment information has been provided.

Please note that our cutoff if 11pm EST. Production will begin the following day for orders received after this time. Although we rarely miss production schedules, the printing and pre-press process involves equipment which is subject to malfunctions and/or equipment failure. We will always do everything in our power to make sure that any production problems do not delay your job. However, please note that ALL production and delivery times ARE NOT CONTRACTUAL and no turnaround time can be guaranteed. No verbal or written correspondence can change that. Please try to plan date sensitive materials timely.

Shipping & Handling

Please note that all turnaround times are estimates. While See2it Design & Printing Inc. will use reasonable efforts to prevent delay of delivery schedules, in no case shall See2it Design & Printing Inc. be liable for any incidental or consequential damages resulting from any delay in shipment or delivery, damaged packages or loss of packages caused during shipping. Orders are F.O.B. and the Customer shall have recourse only to the selected courier for any shipping issues. Each carrier has limited damage liabilities (normally at a maximum claim of $100 per shipment). See2it Design & Printing Inc. shall not be liable for delays in shipments caused by weather conditions, shipping company delays, international customs issues or any other circumstances. Unexpected equipment failure, malfunction and or technical problems may delay the printing process. In case of delay caused by technical difficulty, rush charges/fees will be refunded or waived where applicable. However, technical difficulty will not be the grounds for order cancellation. High quantity orders and large and/or heavy products may not be eliglible for free shipping. Shipping rates for high quantity orders, large and/or heavy products depend on the customers access to a shipping dock and forklift, otherwise additional charges may apply.

Incorrect Address Supplied by Customer

As security for payment for any sum due or to become due under terms of any Agreement, See2it Design & Printing Inc. shall have the right, if necessary, to retain possession of and shall have a lien on all customer property in printer's possession including work in process and finished work. The extension of credit or the acceptance of notes, trade acceptance or guarantee of payment shall not affect such security interest and lien.
