ORDER AND PAYMENT PROCESS & TERMS AND CONDITIONS
Date of Last Revision: May 24, 2019
PocketFolders.com, PrintGlobe Inc. and its affiliates provide their services to you subject to the following conditions. If you visit or shop at PocketFolders.com, you accept these conditions. Please read them carefully. In addition, when you use any current or future PocketFolders.com service or visit or purchase from any business affiliated with PocketFolders.com, whether or not included in the PocketFolders.com web site, you also will be subject to these guidelines and conditions applicable to such service or business.
PLACING AN ORDER
Once you place an order at PocketFolders.com, it will be entered into our system, and your credit card will be charged for the cost of printing the product and any design time or rush charges discussed, if applicable. If you have received a shipping quote, you may also be charged for shipping and handling at this time.
If you are sending a check, please send it to PocketFolders.com, 3500 ComSouth Dr, Ste 100, Austin, TX 78744, Attn: Accounting Dept. We cannot begin working on your job until we have payment or until other plans have been specifically made, in writing, in advance.
PROOF APPROVAL
After the first payment has been received, your job will go into our Graphic Design Department. If we are creating art for you (fees will be discussed in advance), then you will see a proof in a format that works best for you. If you have supplied us with print-ready art, one of our designers will pre-flight the file(s) to ensure that it is ready to go to print. If there are any problems with your art, your Account Manager will contact you immediately to discuss them. You will receive a proof of your art, at which time we ask that you print, sign, and fax it back to us indicating your approval. We will get your first proof to you within 1 business day. If you need it sooner, we do have options for Rush (which is an extra charge).
ART APPROVAL
Once your artwork has been approved, your order will then be sent into production. If you have a deadline for production, please contact your Dedicated Account Manager immediately to discuss your options. If you do not specify a timeline, your order will be processed in standard production time. Again, if you have any questions about standard production, please contact your Account Manager for details. As mentioned above, we do have the option for Rush Production, which is an additional charge, but it is available should you need it.
2-PART BILLING
Once you place an order at PocketFolders.com, it will be entered into our system and your credit card will be charged for the cost of printing the product, set-up fees, and any design time or rush charges discussed at the time of order. You may also be charged for shipping and handling on the first charge.
Shortly after your job ships, we will charge your credit card a second time for (i) additional approved charges that have come up during the process, such as overage of product shipped, extra design time, rush charges, etc., and (ii) any shipping and handling due, which has not been previously paid. In some cases, a refund to your credit card is appropriate and will be handled accordingly. You will receive an email each time your credit card is processed detailing the charges. Shipping and handling charges do not necessarily represent shipping rates charged by our shippers and may include handling charges levied by PocketFolders.com. Once the charges are complete and your job has been closed and finalized in accounting, a copy of the invoice for your order will be e-mailed to you.
ORDER CHANGES
Often, customers need to make changes to printing method, ordered quantities, shipping destination(s), shipping method or other items, which may affect pricing. Any such changes after an order is submitted could result in prices that are higher or lower than the price on the initial quote provided. Any changes must be approved by the customer.
ORDER CANCELLATIONS
In the event that you need to cancel your order, we will strive to do our best to help.
Orders that are cancelled after proof approval but can still be stopped before production begins will be charged a $45 cancellation fee. All other payment will be refunded.
If your order is already in production, we cannot stop or change it. If production has already begun, you will be charged the original amount quoted for your order. We will, however, make every attempt to cease production in a manner which would save as much expense as possible. We will keep you notified of any charges that will be incurred in these instances.
OVERAGES AND SHORTAGES
We try to produce your order in the exact quantity ordered but this is not always possible due to custom manufacturing and quality control efforts. Per industry standards, we reserve the right to ship and subsequently bill or credit your charge card or account for up to 10% over or under the quantity ordered.
If you are ordering an item that requires an exact quantity, we can accommodate this need. For exact quantity orders, there may be a small charge for this service. WE WILL QUOTE FOR EXACT QUANTITY ORDERS ONLY WHEN SPECIFICALLY REQUESTED BEFORE THE ORDER IS PLACED. If you are placing an order on our website, please indicate your preference for an exact quantity in the ‘Delivery Instructions’ step of the online process.
Once your order is complete, we will bill or credit your charge card or account per the actual quantity shipped. If you have further questions or comments about Exact Quantity Orders, please contact your Dedicated Account Manager.
MINIMUM ORDERS
The minimum quantity that can be ordered varies on our wide range of products. The specific minimum order requirements, if any, will be contained in the detail information for each product on our website. In some cases, Less Than Minimum Orders are possible and may require an additional charge. Please contact your Dedicated Account Manager if your required amount is not shown on our website.

LIABILITY LIMITATIONS
YOU CANNOT RECOVER ANY DAMAGES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO, LOST PROFITS, LOST SAVINGS, OR ANY OTHER INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT, SPECIAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF ANY SERVICES PROVIDED OR MADE AVAILABLE TO YOU BY POCKETFOLDERS.COM/PRINTGLOBE OR ON ANY OF THE PRINTGLOBE WEB SITES.

SALES TAX
PocketFolders.com is required by law to collect all applicable sales tax for any state, counties and cities in which we have associates or affiliates. PocketFolders.com reserves the right to change our sales tax policy at any time, in accordance with sales tax laws. Our current practice for sales tax collection on the PocketFolders.com website is to charge a flat rate of 8.25%. Please note that the actual rate can vary state to state and will be adjusted as part of our 2-Part Billing Policy. Once your order has shipped any final charges incurred during the production/proofing process, actual sales tax and final shipping (if outside Continental US) will be charged. This sales tax amount could be less or a little more than the flat 8.25% we charge during the website ordering process. Your account manager will explain and answer any questions you have.
Companies, individuals and organizations who are exempt from sales tax should provide us with a resale certificate by fax to 512-454-6704 or via email to your Dedicated Account Manager.
