Deluxe’s Universal Terms of Use are incorporated herein by reference. Unless otherwise stated, capitalized terms used herein have the meaning ascribed to them in the Universal Terms of Use.

1. Color Accuracy & Hard Copy Proofs

Deluxe will reproduce color from submitted print-ready files as closely as possible but cannot exactly match color and density because of limitations in the printing process, as well as neighboring image ink requirements.

The accuracy of each color reproduction (of the final printed product) is guaranteed to be within 90% of the final proof you approved or Deluxe will reprint your job at no charge. Please note that Deluxe cannot guarantee color reproduction for your print-ready files if you: (a) did not request a hardcopy proof; or (b) purchased a product that does not feature a hardcopy proof option. Please note that we accept no responsibility for color variations between submitted print-ready images and the actual artwork or product they represent.

If You order a “Next Day Hardcopy” proof, your order must be placed, all files uploaded, and all files approved by 9 a.m. Pacific Time in order for Us to promise next day delivery. If You need to update Your file, two rounds of hardcopy proofs are included in the standard price. If You request additional rounds (4 or more), You will be charged for these hardcopy proofs. 

2. Artwork Files

You are responsible for the accuracy of your print-ready artwork files, and you must proofread all files carefully before submitting to Deluxe. As postal regulations are subject to change, you are also responsible for complying with current mailing restrictions for your layouts. Check with your local Post Office for current guidelines and restrictions.

You certify that you have the right to use the image(s) in your artwork files. DO NOT send any "one-of-kind" transparencies, prints or artwork. Although we take every precaution to safeguard your materials, we are NOT responsible for loss of or damage to images or artwork.

Under these Terms and Conditions, you agree that you will NOT upload any artwork files consisting of the following 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. 

Deluxe reserves the right to refuse to print any order or User Content for any reason, at Our sole discretion.

3. File Submissions

Deluxe is not responsible for the following:

  • Inaccurate or poor-quality artwork
  • Errors in User-selected options such as product type, size, finishing options, etc
  • Incorrect file layout for folding, scoring, hole drilling, die cutting, or other custom Services
  • Delivery delays due to improperly prepared files

4. Printing Turnaround Time

Printing turnaround time begins once 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. If You ordered a hardcopy proof, printing turnaround time begins when we receive approval for Your proof. Note that if We are unable to print Your files because they do not conform to our file requirements, Your job status will return to “Need Artwork” and Your printing turnaround time will be reset. 

For printing jobs that do not have complete digital source files provided, printing turnaround time begins when We have Your print-ready file(s), not when the order is first submitted. 

If Your job or proof is approved by 6:00 p.m. Pacific Time, printing turnaround begins that business day. For example, a job for three-day printing turnaround that You approve by 1:00 p.m. PT on Tuesday will be shipped to You by the end of the business day on Friday. Please note that Deluxe offices are closed on Saturdays, Sundays, and all major holidays. As a result, weekends and holidays are excluded when calculating printing turnaround time. 

Printing turnaround time does not include shipping transit time. You should allow additional business days for delivery based on the shipping method You selected for Your order. 

5. Changes/Adjustments

Once a print job has been approved by You and "sent to press" on the Site, no changes are allowed to the artwork files, job characteristics, or printing turnaround time. After a print job has been sent to Deluxe’s prepress department, You are responsible for paying the entire amount of that print job along with applicable taxes, shipping, and processing fees, unless otherwise noted.

6. Order Cancellation Terms & Conditions:

  • When You approve Your order, We start preparing Your proof, at which point the pre-production process begins
  • In the event of a cancellation, all orders that have begun the pre-production process will be charged a minimum of $40.00 to cover order processing and art preparation expenses
  • Once You have approved Your virtual proof, Your order is sent to the manufacturer and the production process begins

8. Store Credit

Deluxe calculates target arrival dates by adding the printing turnaround time to the shipping transit time.
