The following terms are subject to change without notice. It is advised that clients review this page on a regular basis.

Please read these terms of use carefully before using this site. By using this site, you signify your unconditional assent to these terms of use and the fact that all terms and conditions herein apply to YDEAL, Inc. and all of our affiliates, vendors, and partners separately and collectively as applicable. If you do not agree to these terms of use, you are not authorized to use the site. YDEAL, Inc. cannot and does not guarantee the security of information you transmit through the Web, and you transmit all such information at your own risk.

1. Accuracy

Layout

You are 100% responsible for the accuracy of your layouts. Please proofread all layouts carefully. Postal Regulations are subject to change and you are also 100% responsible for complying with current USPS Postal Regulations.

YDEAL, Inc. reserves the right to refuse to print any material that YDEAL, Inc. determines, in its sole discretion, is immoral, illegal or inappropriate for any reason for distribution in the United States Postal Service mail stream. If your material is deemed unacceptable, you will be notified promptly and permitted to change the content or layout to fit our requirements. You will not be charged for any services that are performed by YDEAL, Inc. on any job that is denied for the reasons described in this paragraph.

Color

All cards are placed on our printing press with other jobs or "gang printed". YDEAL, Inc. will reproduce color from submitted transparencies, slides, photos or digital layouts as closely and accurately as possible, but cannot exactly match color and density (as viewed in a 5,000K light booth) because of limitations in the printing process, as well as neighboring image ink requirements.
The accuracy of each color reproduction is guaranteed to be within a minimum of 85-90% of the original image you submit. YDEAL, Inc. accepts no responsibility whatsoever for color variations between submitted images and the actual artwork or product. All colors contained within any RGB digital file will be converted to YDEAL, Inc.’s CMYK color space. This may cause the RGB colors to visually change due to color space differences. You should also note that your computer monitor's calibration affects the colors displayed on your monitor's screen. The colors on the printed cards may differ from what you see displayed when viewing your layout via YDEAL, Inc.’s online final approval process. The online proof only presents the design layout, text accuracy, image proportion and placement, but not color or density. For reprints, YDEAL, Inc. strongly suggests that you mail a hard copy of the original order for an accurate color review. Also, if your order is color critical, YDEAL, Inc. strongly suggests you purchase a hard copy color proof from YDEAL, Inc.

2. Payment

The fees for YDEAL, Inc. products and services, which include the cost of processing, printing, shipping and/or mailing, and any other charges applicable, are due and payable together with the submission of an order. YDEAL, Inc. requires pre-payment on all orders with the exception of certain customers pre-approved for Credit Terms. YDEAL, Inc. grants Credit Terms on the print portion of orders only. All mailing services and postage related fees must be prepaid. Please note that no orders will be mailed until an approved and signed mailing services invoice is returned from the customer authorizing payment. YDEAL, Inc. accepts Purchase Orders from government and educational institutions with prior approval and requires the submission of the PO number at the same time the order is submitted. Any amount due to YDEAL, Inc., which is not paid, may result in non-delivery of the order, and interest charges as allowed by law.

Notwithstanding the above, all orders for customers located outside of the United States must be prepaid in full and in advance, including all printing, mailing, processing, shipping and any other applicable costs or charges. Such orders must be paid via credit card, certified bank check (from a bank which YDEAL, Inc. deems acceptable), ACH or wire transfer. Unfortunately, YDEAL, Inc. can no longer accept any other forms of payment from or extend credit terms to customers who are located outside the United States.
