Terms & Conditions

Products and services provided by SignsReady Co. are per request only. You agree to abide by these terms of service and not to use these products and services or related messages for any unsolicited or unauthorized advertising, promotional materials, “junk mail,” “spam,” “chain letters,” “pyramid schemes,” or any other form of solicitation.

The customer is fully responsible for final proof and layout approval prior to the production or printing process.  Any jobs that have been approved and/or or sent to production cannot be altered or changed due to the nature of the process, and no refund will be given.

SignsReady Co. or its subsidiaries collectively referred to herein as “SignsReady Co.”, shall NOT be 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, Finished Product Size, Poor Orientation or Alignment.

Proofs will be available for your review after your files are uploaded. We strongly urge customers to check the electronic proof of their artwork before submitting the order. No job will be sent to production without your approval.

An electronic proof is NOT an accurate color reproduction of your final product but is the final opportunity for you to check the layout, bleeds, crops and final text. Electronic proofs do not show transparency and over print issues. They also do not show the color change from RGB or Pantone to CMYK.  Therefore, SignsReady Co. will not be liable for color variation between the proof and the printed product.  We will try our best to match the colors of the proof and the printed product but please understand that color variation differences are inherent inconsistencies of the printing process and we will not be held responsible for it. It is the customer’s responsibility to determine if the job is color critical.

The proof should be checked by you against the original file for possible errors in layout, copy, spacing, punctuation or image placement. You, the Customer are fully responsible for all that is contained in the final approved proof, so please make sure you review it thoroughly.

By ordering and using our graphic design services, you, the customer, agree that all designs created and revised by employees of SignsReady Co. are the sole intellectual property of SignsReady Co.  Therefore, this artwork cannot be released to the customer unless there is a written agreement with payment provided to compensate SignsReady Co. for releasing its intellectual property and/or transferring over copyright rights.

The law specifically restricts government issued photographs or other printed reproductions of paper currency, checks, bonds, revenue stamps and securities of the United States and foreign governments.  The Counterfeit Detection Act of 1992, Public Law 102-550, in Section 411 of Title 31 of the Code of Federal Regulations, places the following restrictions on U.S. Currency illustrations.

All price quotes/estimates given by SignsReady Co. are in U.S. Dollars (USD) only.

If a customer purchases any products or services at SignsReady Co., the customer agrees to pay a 60% deposit or pay for all charges in full, including taxes and shipping/delivery fees, by credit card or with an approved payment method BEFORE we complete an order. Unless, in written agreement, we will not start working on any job until we have received either a deposit or full payment. Acceptable methods of payment include all major credit cards (American Express, Visa, Master Card, and Discover), Debit cards, Checks, Money Orders, and Cash. BY PROVIDING A SIGNED CREDIT CARD AUTHORIZATION FORM, CUSTOMER IS ALSO AGREEING TO THESE TERMS & CONDITIONS.

Once a job has been approved by the customer, no changes are allowed to the artwork files or turnaround time. After a job has been sent to production, and the customer requests changes, the customer is responsible for paying the entire amount of that print job along with applicable taxes, unless otherwise agreed upon with SignsReady Co. management.

SignsReady Co. charges Texas state sales tax based on all orders unless you qualify for tax exemption. If you are tax exempt or are a qualified reseller, we will request that you send or fax to us your tax exemption certificate or resale certificate at the time of your order. SignsReady Co. reserves the right to either refuse or accept any tax exemption certificate or resale certificate provided.

A processing fee equal to 15% of the total order amount (minimum of $15) will be charged for each job cancellation and downgrade (downgrade in quantity, paper stock, material, and shipping) if it is requested BEFORE it is sent to the production.  Once an order has been sent to the production and/or work has been started, the job CANNOT be changed (job cancellation and product downgrade not allowed) and there will be NO REFUNDS.

ALL SALES ARE FINAL. Since we customize each order according to your file and exact specifications, NO refunds will be given once SignsReady Co. starts working on your order, usually, work will begin on your job as soon as we have received your approval, files, and payment.

NO returns will be accepted (reference Limits of Liability section). NO exchanges due to customer damage will be accepted. Exchanges may only be accepted on a case by case basis within 24 hours of receipt. Restocking fees of 25% will apply per item.

Please Note: All prices and specifications are subject to change without notice. No adjustments will be made after an order is placed. Special Offers are not valid for previous purchases before the promotion start date or after the promotion expiration date. Custom quotes, mailing postage, shipping charges and sales tax, etc. are excluded from our discounted offers. Multiple promotions and discounts cannot be combined.

Turnaround time on orders begins once full payment has been received for your order, AND your print-ready files have been uploaded to your account, attached and approved.

For printing jobs that do not have complete digital source files provided or have submitted files that are not print-ready (and causes a delay), printing turnaround begins when we have your print-ready file(s), not from when the order was first submitted.

All turnaround times are based on business days and office hours: Monday through Friday 9:30am – 5:30pm, Central Standard Time (CST), excluding all federal holidays.

All jobs with standard turnaround times submitted and approved before 10am CST on any given working business day will begin production (day 1 of turnaround time) that day.  If the order is submitted and approved after 10am CST on any business day, the job will begin production (day 1 of turnaround time) the following business day. If the job is submitted and approved on a weekend, the job will begin production on the next business day.

The estimated production turnaround is based on the typical number of hours or days that a print job requires to complete under normal circumstances, excluding Saturdays, Sundays and holidays. SignsReady Co. is closed Saturdays, Sundays and Holidays, so these days are not considered when calculating printing turnaround time.

In addition, while Production Turnaround includes printing, cutting, and binding, it does not include mailing or shipping transit times.  If you are having the order shipped, you should allow additional business days for delivery based on the shipping method you select.

Annual SignsReady Co. non-production dates:  New Year’s Day on January 1, Memorial Day on the last Monday in May, Independence Day on July 4, Labor Day on the first Monday in September, Thanksgiving on the fourth Thursday & Friday in November, Christmas on December 25.

We will not refund a job based on turnaround time.  If you have a time-sensitive job, please be sure to notify a SignsReady Co. associate.

If we deem that submitted artwork is low-quality (i.e. low resolution) which will cause low quality product, we may put your job ON HOLD until you re-submit and re-approve new artwork.  This time is NOT INCLUDED in the turnaround time.  Furthermore, the customer is 100% responsible if the artwork they submit is low quality, and in turn, the products produced are low-quality.

For rush orders, orders and files must be submitted by 10am CST for that day to count as the first day in the Turnaround Time.  If you submit after 10am CST, the first day of the Turnaround Time will be the next business day. Rush charges will apply.

Due to our bulk-run method of production that SignsReady Co. uses (printing several print jobs together on the same print run, thus spreading the cost of printing amongst all jobs on the form to lower the cost for our customers), we cannot guarantee that every order will be the exact number of items ordered. We can only guarantee that the quantity printed will be within plus or minus 10% of the quantity ordered.

No refund on shipping charges will be allowed on any job once it has been shipped or delivered.

SignsReady Co. may ship jobs via USPS, FedEx, or by specified courier at the customer’s request.  Our responsibility is limited to preparing your order for delivery via USPS, FedEx, or customer’s courier.

Once a package is shipped, SignsReady Co. is not responsible and will not be liable for late or damaged packages during the shipping process.

Please keep in mind that 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 delivered to USPS or FedEx. Arrival dates are only estimates because they can be subject to unforeseen delays in transit.

SignsReady Co. is not responsible for any delays in shipping and we will not upgrade the shipping method to accommodate a missed estimated ship date. Customers may feel free to upgrade the shipping method before we ship at their own expense.

If a package is not delivered due to an error made by the customer in submitting the proper shipping address, SignsReady Co. may reship the package with corrected address and charge an additional non-refundable shipping/handling fee for the shipment.

Pick-up orders will be kept for 14 days after the notification has been sent via email or phone call.

If the order has not been picked up from SignsReady Co.’s facility within 30 days, it may be shipped at the discretion of SignsReady Co., directly to the customer, and customer will be billed for applicable shipping charges, however, we cannot ship to P.O. Boxes.

SignsReady Co. reserves the right to show customers samples of any products we have produced and/or designed.

SignsReady Co. reserves the right to cancel or otherwise refuse jobs it deems are obscene or offensive, including but not limited to pornographic materials. SignsReady Co. reserves the right to charge the customer for services rendered up to the point that the job was cancelled.
