Design Contract

​

Read these Terms and Conditions carefully. They contain important information about your rights and obligations. Above all, you are responsible for reading the item descriptions and details regarding the products that you purchase to know what you are ordering. You that you fully understand and agree to these Terms and Conditions by placing an order on our website or by paying an invoice provided by Paper Muse .Co. Read our Refunds and Exchanges Policy on the bottom of our homepage at: www.papermuse.co

 

Once an order is placed, refunds will not be given for any reason, including but not limited to event cancellations, event postponements, event size reduction, natural disasters such as flood, fire, hurricane, tornado, viral pandemic, famine, late arrival of items due to shipping company (USPS, UPS, etc.) fault, unavailable products & services or otherwise. If design work has been done but printing has not been commenced or completed, partial refunds may be approved but are at the sole discretion of Paper Muse .Co on a per order basis. Invitations and other printed materials are generally printed, packed and shipped within approximately 4-6 weeks of proof approval, but some artistry takes a bit more time. Special services like specialty printing that requires a steel die be created (foil stamping/letterpress) printed envelopes, die or laser cut items, and assembly will extend your order processing time as well. Then, please allow an additional 5-7 additional days for delivery. Some accessories ship from third party suppliers and may require additional production time. To ensure that these estimations for order processing and shipping are met, products from third party suppliers are often ordered soon after a deposit is placed and cannot be cancelled nor quantities changed. Minimum quantity orders will apply for increase in quantity after supplies have been ordered. Details such as quantity, color or size may not be changed once and order is placed and product acquisition and production has started as all of our products are made-to-order. We must acquire minimum quantities for custom-made products. If PMC were to wait until proofs were approved to begin acquiring products, our turn-around times would double, if not triple. 

 

Neither the Authority nor the Operator (Owner) shall be considered in breach of this Contract to the extent that performance of their respective obligations is prevented by an Event of Force Majeure that arises after the Purchase Date.

 

Invitations and other printed materials are generally printed, packed and shipped within approximately 4 weeks of proof approval, but some orders may take longer to complete. Special services like printed envelopes or laser cut items will extend your order processing time. Please allow approximately 5-10 additional days for delivery. Some accessories ship from third party suppliers and may require additional production time. To ensure that these estimations for order processing and shipping are met, products from third party suppliers can be ordered as soon as an order is received and cannot be cancelled nor quantities changed. Minimum quantity orders will apply.

We may agree to cancel or refund portions of an order that have not yet been designed, printed or shipped. If you have received a proof for a design, you are responsible for the cost of design time to personalize it for you and cost per proof will be determined on a case-by-case basis, depending on the scope of the design. Any agreement to refund a portion of any order is at the discretion of Paper Muse .Co on a per order basis.

Proofing, re-orders, changes and revisions, and minimums:

Customers are 100% responsible for grammar, spelling, dates, times, etc. on all parts of the products ordered and are advised to thoroughly review all provided digital proofs. It is recommended that more than one person review proofs as well. Proof approvals sent via email are legally binding. Be sure to review all parts before providing an approval. Products will go to print once we receive an approval and may be subject to substantial fees if changes need to be made once an approval is received.

​

Sometimes, things change throughout the scope of a project. We don’t want to limit your ability to change your mind. If you want to change your mind or add anything new, that won’t be a problem. Any additional fees will be confirmed in writing prior to doing the work.  Should you need to submit data spreadsheets with corrections after the design is created, there will be fees to reformat your designs which will be charged hourly with a minimum $50.00/hour for  reformatting/redesign fee, depending on the scope of the changes. This typically applies to items such as envelope printing and guest seating charts.  Making changes can alter the date for when a project is projected to be completed. Changes to variable data design projects shall not exceed (5) individual corrections to be included in a given proofing round; if more than (5) changes are needed, the list will need to be resubmitted in its original form with all corrections made at a cost of minimum $50.00/hour to re-format your data and design. Should you want to change designs after data spreadsheets have been formatted and proofs supplied, design fees will be discussed before proceeding with work.

 

Should you need to order additional products once your order has been received, you will need to re-order the minimum amount defined on the product page you purchased. Always order at least 5-10 extras. Our turn around times are based on beginning the creation process once your order is received, and not once your proofs are approved. If Paper Muse .Co has started the process of ordering supplies for and creating made-to-order products, minimums apply for reorders and/or UNDER MINIMUM FEES WILL APPLY, if applicable.  Providing quantities less than the defined minimum is at the sole discretion of the Owner and is subject to significant pricing differences than those defined on the product page. 

​

Paper Muse .Co will alert you to any impending rush fees, via email, before said charges are required. Make sure all data spreadsheets are free of all errors before submitting.

​

Order Acceptance & Payment:
We reserve the right at any time after receipt of your order to either accept or decline your order for any reason. We reserve the right at any time after the receipt of the order, to supply less than the quantity you ordered of any item.

Some accessories ship from third party suppliers and may require additional production time.

You will be obligated to place another order, for at least the minimum quantity stated for that product.
