During the registration process, you must specify your email address and a password (your “Login Credentials”). You are solely responsible in all respects for the use and protection of the confidentiality of your Login Credentials. You agree to notify CDS immediately of any unauthorized use of your Login Credentials and any other suspected breach of security regarding the Site. You are responsible for changing your password if you believe your password has been stolen or might otherwise be misused. CDS has no duty or obligation to verify the identity of a customer and may assume, without independent investigation, that any person who logs on to cdsPRINT.com through your password does so with your consent and approval.

All prices and amounts shown on this Site are in U.S. Dollars (USD), unless otherwise noted. If you submit a request to purchase printing products or other services, you agree that all charges, taxes and shipping/handling fees will automatically be charged to your credit. We require each order to be fully paid, including shipping and handling fees, if applicable, before we complete an order. We will not start working on a print job until we receive the full payment. Once you have approved your print job, no changes are allowed to the artwork files, job characteristics, or printing turnaround time.

All sales are final. Since we customize each order according to your file and exact specifications, no refunds are given once we start working on your order. This means we have received your necessary materials (i.e., digital files and payment) and have begun work on your job (i.e., your job is in production). In some cases, a partial or full refund may be extended to you if we have not performed any work for a specific order. Such refund may be adjusted to cover any fees charged for services associated with that order as well as merchant bank fees on credit card transactions. Each order made from this Site is a contract between you, as the customer making the order, and CDS. The fact that you have made an order on behalf of a third party does not absolve you of liability to CDS. As such, any decision by the third party not to accept the particular items printed, or to cancel with you, does not affect your liability to CDS.

cdsPRINT.com will collect sales tax for orders shipped within the state of Ohio. The customer is responsible to pay any state, county and local sales and use tax for orders shipped outside the state of Ohio.

A digital proof will be available for your review after we have received your file upload. No job will be sent to press without your approval. It is your responsibility to log in to your account and check on your proof. We are not liable for delays in the order caused by your non-approval of the proof. Proofs must be approved within 45 days. If you fail to approve your proof within 45 days, CDS reserves the right to cancel your order. If CDS chooses to cancel your order, CDS may issue a partial refund, depending on the amount of work performed.

A digital proof is by no means an accurate color reproduction of your final printed piece but is the final opportunity for you to check the layout, bleeds, crops and final text. The proof must be treated independent from the original submitted file and thoroughly reviewed prior to approval. It should be checked against the original file for possible errors such as layout, copy, spacing, punctuation or image placement. You are fully responsible for all that is contained in the final approved proof.

We will reproduce color from submitted print-ready files as closely as possible, but cannot exactly match color and density. Because of inherent limitations with the printing process, the accuracy of color reproduction is not guaranteed. By placing an order with CDSPrint.com, you agree to this limitation. We will try our best to match the gradient density of each color, but we accept no responsibility for color variations between submitted files and the final printed piece. Under no circumstances will a reprint be honored for color variations that have occurred during the printing process. We are not liable for color matching or ink density on screen proofs that you approve. Screen proofs will predict design layout, text accuracy, image proportion and placement, but not color or density.

We are not liable for errors in a final product caused by any of the following reasons: misspelling, graphics, bleeds, grammar, damaged fonts, punctuation, wrong cuts, incorrect or missing folds, die lines, crop marks, transparency, overprint, cracks on folds or finished product size.

We cannot guarantee that every order will be the exact number of items which are ordered, we can only guarantee that it will come within the industry standard of plus or minus 10% of the number of items ordered.

Our prepress department checks all submitted artwork files before printing, but you are still 100% responsible for the accuracy of your print-ready artwork files. We encourage you to proofread all files carefully before submitting to cdsPRINT.com. We are not responsible for any issues as to orientation or alignment of the pages of your submitted documents. By submitting artwork to cdsPRINT.com, you certify that you have the right to use the image(s) in the artwork files. Although we take every precaution to safeguard your materials, we are not responsible for loss or damage of images, files or artwork.

Under these Terms & Conditions, you agree that you will NOT upload any artwork files consisting of the following material: offensive, indecent or improper 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. We may refuse an order that in our opinion may be illegal in nature or an infringement on the rights of any third party. You accept full legal liability for the content of material processed and printed on your behalf and under your instructions. We reserve the right to refuse an order without disclosing a reason.

Files must be uploaded within 45 days. If you fail to upload your files within 45 days, CDS reserves the right to cancel your order. If CDS chooses to cancel your order, CDS may issue a full or partial refund, depending on the amount of work performed.

Printing turnaround time begins after your order has been placed and your print-ready files have been uploaded to your account, attached to your printing job and approved for printing. Printing turnaround time begins when we receive approval for your proof and full payment has been made.

Please note that CDS is closed Saturdays, Sundays and holidays. As a result, these days are not considered when calculating turnaround time. In addition, while printing turnaround includes printing, cutting and binding, it does not include design or shipping transit times. You should allow additional business days for delivery based on the shipping method you selected. Estimated production turnaround times are based on the typical number of hours or days that a print job is completed under normal circumstances, excluding Saturdays, Sundays and holidays.

Printing turnaround time is not guaranteed and CDS will not be responsible for any shipping-related costs on orders that do not go out by the due date. If your order is time sensitive and the target date it must be shipped by is clearly noted, CDS will make every effort to ensure your order ships by the target date. Cancellation of an order based on turnaround time is only allowed if the customer indicates in writing at the time of submission (in a note posted to the order) that a job in the order is time sensitive and must be shipped by a target date.

When choosing a shipping option, please remember that 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 the shipping carrier. Shipping transit times vary. CDS 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. Our responsibility is limited to printing your order and delivering it to the shipping carrier. We are not liable for damages that occur in shipping.

All complaints must be registered within 24 hours of receipt of your final printing job. Should your job contain manufacturing errors and/or defects (as determined by CDS), CDS will most likely re-run your job at no charge or a reduced charge.

All materials we create in producing your printed product are the property of CDS. Although these materials will NOT be sold or given to any other party, we reserve the right to use them for marketing purposes. This may include displaying images of your printed product in marketing materials and/or distributing free samples of your printed product as examples of our printing services. However, you may elect to opt-out by indicating in writing (e.g., note posted to order) when placing your order that you prefer CDS not use your materials for marketing purposes.
