Terms and Conditions

By Placing An Order On plavidian.com, You Agree To The Following Terms:

CRITICAL COLOR REPRODUCTION INFORMATION

Plavidian utilizes a process of printing referred to as "Gang-Run Printing" which provides affordable four-color printing. "Gang-Run Printing" will group your job with other jobs allowing overall production costs and expenses to be shared with our other customers.

Because of variances in paper, equipment, inks, and other conditions between color proofing and production pressroom operations, a "pleasing color" [as determined by generally accepted trade technical methods] is to be expected with gang-run printing. When such a variation occurs, it will be considered acceptable performance. Plavidian accepts no responsibility for color variations between submitted files and the final printed piece achieved from utilizing the gang-run process. Under NO circumstances will a reprint be honored for color variations that have occurred during the gang-run printing process. If you require a more precise printed product please request a custom quote. By placing an order you are agreeing to all of our terms and conditions.


1. Quotations/Estimates
Prices posted on this website are subject to change without notice. Written estimates are good for 5 days. An estimate not accepted within 5 days may be changed.

ALL orders must be prepaid due to the speed of our turnaround. In the event the details of an order/job have been modified and an unpaid balance is created, the card used to place the original order will be charged. Charges typically will occur within 24-48 hours of the modification, but can take up to 45 days depending on our current workload as these charges must first be individually verified by a human.

3. Late Payments
All payments that are not received within 30 days from when the order was placed or by agreed upon date will be assessed a 20% late payment charge.

4. Orders
plavidian.com reserves the right to upgrade the coating or quantity, at no additional charge, for any product ordered (excluding mailer pieces or unless otherwise stated in the details/special instructions). plavidian.com also reserves the right to use its sole discretion in refusing to print anything it deems improper or known to be illegal. plavidian.com is not liable for any damages resulting from unwitting violation of copyright laws or illegal use of trade names or slogans.

5. Order Approval/Proofing
plavidian.com has and assumes no obligation to proof or otherwise review the content or layout of your order.

Orders are printed in their "as submitted" form and the customer is fully responsible for final proof and layout verification and approval prior to submission to the print process. plavidian.com DOES NOT make any changes on customer files. Once you submit an order to the print process you are agreeing that you are fully satisfied with the document layout and content and you accept responsibility for any errors therein. plavidian.com will assume that you have verified the spelling, grammar, content and layout, etc. are all correct and it will not accept any liability for errors such as misspelling, graphics, grammar, damaged fonts, punctuation, transparency, overprint, improper layout, bleeding, erroneous cut or fold lines, die lines or crop marks, sizing, etc.

plavidian.com does not provide proofs of any order unless the customer requests it as part of the order process and it is an option available for the product. If you request a proof then it is your responsibility to verify the proof against the original (and to correct any spelling or grammatical errors, etc).

If a proof is requested, then your job will not be processed or deemed production ready until you have approved the proof in writing. Please be aware that this may impact the job turnaround time.

6. Flyer Tagging
Plavidian reserves the right to place a tag similar to "Printed by plavidian.com" on the printed material unless customer states that they would prefer it not to appear when initially placing order.

7. Current Specials
In order to receive the discounts associated with Plavidian's "Current Specials", you must input the appropriate/relevant promotion code when placing your order.

In the event that a charge, claim or demand, or arbitration, action or proceeding (collectively, a "Claim") is made or commenced against plavidian.com based upon, relating to or arising from the alleged wrongful acts of the customers, or alleging that the printing performed or product produced by plavidian.com ordered by the customer: (a.) infringes any copyright, patent or other proprietary right of any person; or (b.) contains matter that is libelous, slanderous, defamatory, scandalous or obscene, the customer shall indemnify and hold plavidian.com harmless from and against any loss, damages, cost and expense arising from or related to the Claim including without limitation; (1.) defending plavidian.com against any such Claim (2.) paying any judgment or award against the customer; and (3.) reimbursing plavidian.com for any legal fees and expenses it reasonably incurs in responding.

  • The work is printed per the client's written OK;
  • Requests for changes are communicated verbally.

All requests for changes of any kind must be made in writing to avoid mistakes.

19. Color Proofing
Because of differences in equipment, paper, inks, and other conditions between color proofing and production pressroom operations, a "pleasing color" variation between color proofs and the completed job [as determined by generally accepted trade technical methods] is to be expected. When such a variation occurs, it will be considered acceptable performance.

20. Overruns/Underruns
The generally accepted trade practice is plus or minus 10%.

21. Delivery/3rd Party Shipping/Pickup
Charges for delivery of materials and supplies from the client or the client's supplier to plavidian.com are not included in quotations unless specified. plavidian.com is not responsible for delays and/or damage incurred during shipping.

If the "pickup" option is selected when the order is originally placed you will have 15 calendar days to retrieve materials. If more than 15 calendar days elapses the order is considered abandoned and Plavidian has the right to discard materials, unless otherwise agreed upon in writing. Orders that have delivery or shipping selected will be shipped immediately upon completion. Shipping carriers visit our plant mon-fri (4pm-6pm) and pickup completed orders, exceptions are holidays or if the office is closed due to inclement weather. If your order is not ready by the time the shipping carrier visits our plant, your order will be picked up the following business day.

By accepting the job, the client acknowledges that plavidian.com's performance has fully satisfied all terms, conditions and specifications. Any disputes on products or services purchased by your credit card authorization from plavidian.com shall be dealt with between the customer and plavidian.com.

23. Right to Subcontract

24. Workmanship Guarantee
We guarantee all orders to be within "gang run" specs and to be free of defects in workmanship. If any order does not match the generally accepted trade standards, we will reprint the job or issue the customer a credit at our discretion.

*Important information:

  1. Print turnaround is based from when production begins.
  2. When placing an order we will print the corresponding size that is selected unless otherwise stated in the details/special instructions. (if you can not find your desired size, please pick the next size up i.e. if you want a 4x4 flyer you would select "CD Insert (4.75 x 4.75)" and note in the special instructions that you want a 4x4.
  3. The final piece MAY be up to an 1/8th inch smaller or larger than actual order size unless exact size is selected.
  4. The final piece MAY slide up, down, left, or right 1/16th inch to 1/8th inch in either direction. So we strongly recommend that you DO NOT use borders in your artwork.
  5. The final piece MAY be cut slightly uneven, 0 to 10 degree shifts are considered acceptable.
  6. When reordering, colors MAY be slightly different then original order. (unless a proof is purchased and color matching is purchased for an additional fee).
  7. If files are submitted and do not meet our bleed specifications, Plavidian reserves the right to add a border to the artwork.
  8. If files are submitted in RGB mode, you are authorizing Plavidian to convert the file(s) to CMYK mode. (converting files from RGB to CMYK may cause color shifting as well as other undesirable results).
  9. If we only receive one file for a job we will assume that file is to be used for side 1 and side two is blank, unless otherwise stated.
  10. We will NOT accept files that are emailed. All orders MUST be placed through the website.

25. Reprints
If for any reason we must reprint a job, we MUST use the original files uploaded. Under no circumstances will we accept new files for the reprint.

26. Turnaround Estimate
Purchasing non-standard upgraded turnaround should NOT be construed as a guarantee and does not apply to any additional production. Additional production includes, but is not limited to folding, scoring, perforating, die-cutting and drilling. (please see section 23., sub category a. for more information on when printing occurs.

Print turnaround times displayed on the price calculator page are only estimates. At Plavidian's discretion, if a job does ship by the estimated turnaround, Plavidian may issue a store credit towards the customer's next order, but the customer must request this credit. The amount of the credit is at the discretion of Plavidian. Resellers do not qualify for store credit. Exceptions to the issuance of store credit include, but are not limited to equipment failure/power outages, 3rd party shipping errors and "acts of god".

31. Inkjet Proofs
Inkjet and laser prints are known to look substantially different than offset printing. We offer quick turnaround and low prices by printing to a "pleasing color" standard, using standard ink densities. There is no guarantee that your finished piece will match your printed proof. This is due to the varying results from different output devices including inkjet printers, continuous tone proofing devices, and film-based proofs.
