1. Quotations/Estimates:

Quotations and estimates provided by ColorFX are only valid for fifteen (15) calendar days from date of issuance. Upon expiration of such fifteen (15) day period, the quotation and custom estimate is subject to change.  Prices set forth in approved and signed estimates are valid for fifteen (15) calendar days from the date of approval/signature. In addition, if artwork for approved and signed estimates is not received by ColorFX within the fifteen (15) day time period, then ColorFX reserves the right to change the prices from what was set forth in the estimate, regardless of whether any payment (full or partial) has already been made.

2. Order Approval/Proofing:

Processing of orders on this website is subject to fulfillment of the terms of payment by the customer. ColorFX has and assumes no obligation to proof or otherwise review the content or layout of your order. Each order is printed exactly as it appears in the submitted form to ColorFX. Once you submit an order to ColorFX, you accept any errors therein. For the avoidance of doubt, ColorFX is NOT LIABLE for any errors in the final print product such as misspelling, graphics, bleeds, grammar, damaged fonts, punctuation, incorrect crop marks, incorrect or missing folds, improper layout and sizing.

ColorFX does not provide proofs of any order unless the customer requests it as part of the order process and it is an option available for the product. If available, the first electronic proof for each order is $5.00. Replacing any files after the first proof has been sent will result in additional charges for each file replacement, based on the time estimated by ColorFX.

Customer is fully responsible for final proof and layout approval prior to the printing process. Prepared proofs provided in the agreed format should be checked and approved or corrected by customer. Marking “OK”, “OK with corrections”, or, “Revised Proof Required” by customer is mandatory and until the approved master set is received, no further work will be performed.

3. Accuracy of Specifications:

Quotations are based on accuracy of information provided by customers at the time of estimate. ColorFX reserves the right to re-quote a job at the time of submission if copy, fonts, disks or other input materials do not conform to the information upon which the original quotation was based.

4. Electronic manuscript/Images:

It is customer’s responsibility to maintain a copy of the original files. ColorFX is not responsible for accidental damage to media supplied by the customer or for the accuracy of furnished or final input.
