- CREATIVE WORK Creative work performed at the Customer’s request will be charged to Customer at current rates for time and materials.

- MAIL LISTS – The Customer shall follow all laws applicable to the California Consumer Privacy Act. The Customer’s mailing list(s) in CMP’s possession, for storage or otherwise, is the exclusive property of the Customer and shall be used only at the Customer’s instructions. CMP shall provide reasonable and prudent protection, consistent with industry standards, against the loss of Customer’s list. This includes adequate backup procedures for all files and programs.

You may purchase a mailing list from CMP’s affiliates for an additional cost. You may ask to see the purchased mailing list. Mailing lists purchased through CMP and it’s affiliates are non-refundable.
- MAILING SERVICES All mailing delivery dates are estimates, not guarantees. CMP’s responsibility is limited to preparing your mailing and completing delivery to the U.S. Postal Service (“USPS”). CMP’s responsibility ends when the job is delivered to the USPS. In no event shall CMP be liable for USPS performance failures or delivery delays. This guarantee does not cover fees for mailing service or postage or associated incidental or consequential damages or claims. CMP is not liable for shipping carrier errors, including loss or delay on direct-mail orders. Only postage is refundable upon request for any quantity from your mailing services job that did not mail due to invalid addresses in your mail list, or if the mail list consisted of fewer addresses than the quantity ordered. The minimum mailing quantity must be met before postage is refunded.
- ELECTRONIC FILES It is the Customer’s responsibility to maintain a copy of all original electronic files. CMP is not responsible for accidental damage to media supplied by the Customer or for the accuracy of furnished input or final output. Until digital input can be evaluated by CMP, no representations can be made about CMP’s ability to provide the services for work submitted in digital format. Any additional translating, editing, or programming needed to utilize Customer-supplied files will be charged at prevailing time and material rates.
- PROOFS Unless waived in writing, CMP will submit proofs along with original copy for the Customer’s review and approval. We strongly urge customers to carefully check the electronic proof of their artwork before approving the order. No job will be sent to press without your approval. CMP will not be responsible for undetected production errors if: Proofs are not required by the Customer; The work is printed per the Customer’s approval; Requests by the Customer for changes or corrections are not communicated in writing.PRESS PROOFS. An extra charge will be made for press proofs, unless the Customer is present when the form is made ready on the press, so that no press time is lost. Presses standing and awaiting the approval of the Customer will be charged at current time and materials rates for the time so consumed. COLOR PROOFING. A color proof is used to simulate how the printed piece will look prior to production on the printing press (offset or digital). The proof may present a “reasonable” variation in color between the proof and the printed piece, and therefore a “reasonable” variation in color between color proofs and the completed job may be expected. When variations of this kind occur, it will be considered acceptable performance. In addition, when proofing color, a reasonable variation between color proofs or electronic renderings and the final product is to be expected. This is due to differences in viewing conditions, equipment, paper, inks, and toner between the color proofing process and print production. CMP will try their best to match the colors of the proof and the printed product but 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.
- ARTWORK Under these Terms and Conditions, you agree that you will NOT upload any artwork files consisting of the following material: offensive, indecent or improper material, any material that could give rise to any civil or criminal liability under applicable law; and any material that could infringe on 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. We will refuse an order, which in our opinion may be illegal in nature or an infringement on the rights of any third party. You accept full legal liability for the content of material processed and printed on your behalf and under your instructions. We reserve the right to refuse an order without disclosing a reason.ART RESOLUTION REQUIREMENTS. All artwork, designs and images must be provided in minimum of 300 DPI and CMYK color mode. CMP is NOT RESPONSIBLE for images printed as fuzzy, distorted or pixilated due to low resolution artwork provided by the customer, especially if it is approved by the customer already. CMP is also not responsible for any color shift that occurs in conversions from RGB to CMYK color modes. BLACK INK. Full color jobs that contain large solid areas of black ink should have the black set up as CMYK black (100, 100, 100, 100). CMP will not be liable for printing a consistent, solid and rich black if artwork is not set up to this specification (rich black should not be used for text because it may cause registration problems). BLEED AND MARGIN REQUIREMENTS. Since cutting cannot be guaranteed to be exactly in the same place for a large quantity of print products, you must stretch the background (if there is one) 0.125 inch outside of the trim line on each side (this is called a “bleed”) and place all critical elements (text, images, graphic elements, logos, etc.) 0.125 inch inward on each side from the trim line. Anything left too close to the trim line within 0.125 inch inward or 0.125 inch outward may be cut. Please allow for a cutting tolerance of 0.250 inch. We recommend no borders due to shifting in the cutting process because they may appear uneven. TWO-SIDED ARTWORK. Customers must upload artwork so that the two sides (front and back) of the finished product back up correctly. For flat, folded and die-cut work, excluding bound products, all pages are backed up head to head (top of the proof on one side lines with top of proof on other side). The head of one side backs up to the head of the other page on two sided work. CMP recommends that you always print the proofs and back them up head to head to make a folding model to ensure that your artwork is set up properly, please do this BEFORE you submit the front-side and back-side artwork.
- CUSTOMER CONTENT All information, data, text, photographs, graphics, messages or other materials are the sole responsibility of the person from which the content originated. By uploading your text and artwork you, the Customer, agree to be held entirely responsible for all the content that you send, upload, transmit, or post to CMP.

- OVER-RUNS, UNDER-RUNS AND SPOILAGE Over-runs or under-runs for print will not exceed 5 percent of the quantity ordered. CMP will bill for actual quantity delivered within this tolerance. If the Customer requires a guaranteed quantity, the percentage of tolerance must be stated at the time of Quotation. All direct mail handling and processing involves spoilage. Spoilage of up to three (3) percent of Customer’s material is typical. Allowances for spoilage should be taken into consideration in ordering material.

- TURNAROUND TIME Turnaround time on printing and/or mailing orders begins once full payment has been received for your order, AND your print-ready files have been sent to us and approved for printing. 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 9am – 5pm Pacific Standard Time (PST), excluding all national and federal holidays. All jobs with standard turnaround times submitted and approved before 9am PST on any given working business day will begin production (day 1 of turnaround time) that day. If the order is submitted and approved after 9am PST 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 on this site 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. CMP is closed Saturdays, Sundays and holidays, so these days are not considered when calculating printing turnaround time.
