GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF GOODS AND ORDERS / ACCEPTANCE / PURCHASE - PRE-PRESS PROCEDURES AND POLICIES

General Description of terms

COLOR K shall sell, transfer, and deliver to BUYER the goods as described in the order invoice. The parties intend the foregoing description to be for the purposes of identification of the goods to this Contract only and not to made part of the basis of the bargain. This Contract is effective as of the date signed by both parties and will continue in effect until cancelled by either party via written notice to the other party.

Acceptance / Purchase / Pre-Printing Procedures

BUYER shall accept the goods and pay any and all amounts in accordance with the terms of this Contract. Acceptance of the order by COLOR K shall not be effective until acceptance and acknowledgement of receipt of payment by COLOR K. Acceptance by COLOR K may be either by notification to the BUYER or by commencing to produce work on the merchandise ordered.

1 Quotation and Prices
A custom quote not accepted within THIRTY (30) days may be changed. Prices on products and special promotions within our website are subject to change at any time. If a conflict exists in terms of the BUYER's purchase order and the terms of this Contract, the terms stated in this Contract will govern, unless otherwise agreed in writing by COLOR K. COLOR K's failure to object to provisions in BUYER's purchase order will not be deemed a waiver or modification of any of the terms and conditions set forth in this Contract. Any production figures quoted are approximate, based on the conditions as understood by COLOR K, but actual figures may vary substantially depending on operating conditions. Hence, no such figures are guaranteed.

2 Accuracy of specifications
Quotations are based on the accuracy of the specifications provided. COLOR K can requite a job at time of submission if copy, film, tapes, disks, or other input materials do not conform to the information on which the original quotation was based.

3 Alterations Corrections
BUYER alterations include all work performed in addition to the original specifications provided. All additional work will be charged at COLOR K's standard rates.

4 Electronic Manuscripts or images
It is the BUYER's responsibility to maintain a copy of the original file. COLOR K is not responsible for accidental damage to media supplied by the BUYER or for the accuracy of furnished input or final output. Until digital input can be evaluated by COLOR K, no claims or promises are made about COLOR K's ability to work with jobs submitted in digital format, and no liability is assumed for problems that may arise. Any additional translating, editing, or programming needed to utilize BUYER-supplied files may be billable.

5 Experimental Work
Experimental or preliminary work performed at BUYER's request will be billed to the BUYER at COLOR K's rates. This work cannot be used without COLOR K's written consent.

6 Creative Work
No use shall be made, except by written permission of COLOR K for all use of this work and for any derivation of ideas from it and compensation (if any) to be determined by COLOR K.

7 Color Proofing
A color proof is used to simulate how the printed piece will look. Because of differences in equipment, paper, links, 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. If your job will be printed in offset and is color critical you must request a Matchprint color proof, as we do not guarantee color accuracy with digital email or laser proof. If your job will be printed digitally and is color critical you must request a laser color proof, we do not guarantee color accuracy with digital online or email proof.
8 Prepress Proofs
COLOR K will submit pre-press proofs along with original copy for the BUYER's review and approval when requested by the BUYER. Corrections will be returned to COLOR K on a "master set" marked either: "OK" , "OK WITH CORRECTIONS" or "REVISED PROOF REQUIRED" , and signed by the BUYER. Until the master set is received, no additional work will be performed. COLOR K will not be responsible for undetected production errors if: 1) PROOFS ARE NOT REQUIRED BY THE BUYER OR SENT BY MAIL. 2) THE WORK IS PRINTED AS PER THE BUYERÕS OK. 3) REQUESTS FOR CHANGES ARE COMMUNICATED ORALLY.

9 Press Proofs
Press proofs will not be furnished unless they have been required in writing in the COLOR K quotation. A press sheet can be submitted for the BUYER's approval as long as the BUYER is present at the press during make-ready. COLOR K will charge at the current rates for any press time lost or alterations/corrections made because of the BUYER's delay or change of mind.
