Uploaded Files and Content Requirements
Different products that we provide may have
specific requirements. There will be instructions regarding these requirements when
ordering a specific product. In general,
we recommend that content uploaded to OwlStamp Visual Solutions for product
production adhere to the following requirements:
Color Space – Your designs should be created and
submitted using a CMYK color space with no embedded color profile. If you
submit RGB designs, OwlStamp Visual Solutions will not be responsible for any
color shifts or inaccuracies when your design is converted to CMYK for
production. If you are using Pantone® spot colors, do not convert and leave
them as native colors. We will try to match the color as closely as possible,
but do not guarantee results. In addition, some Pantone® colors can not be
reproduced on some products.
·
Fonts –
Whenever possible, convert any fonts to curves (outlines, paths) to eliminate
the possibility of font substitutions during production.
·
File
Formats – In general, the best file format for most products is a flattened
high resolution PDF with fonts converted to curves. Other acceptable formats
include EPS, CorelDraw X5, Adobe CS5 (InDesign, Photoshop, Illustrator), JPEG,
TIFF. Any bitmap images contained in your files should be a minimum of 300 dpi
at 100% size.
·
Uploaded
files that do not meet these requirements may experience print or images that
are fuzzy, pixilated or otherwise distorted for which OwlStamp Visual Solutions
does not accept any responsibility.
We reserve the right to reject content that does
not meet this standard, but we do not assume any obligation to verify that the
uploaded content meets these standards.
Any product that we produce that incorporates
color reproduction will meet CMYK industry standards. Therefore, due to
variations in equipment, substrates, environment, and other factors, OwlStamp Visual Solutions cannot guarantee “match-print” color fidelity, nor can we prevent
slight color shifts within an order or orders printed at different times. In
addition, because we cannot control the color reproduction of a customer's
computer monitor or color printers, we cannot guarantee that the actual print
color will precisely match any preview as it appears your monitor or printed
copy you create. OwlStamp Visual Solutions is not responsible for any color shift
in converted photographs (RGB images) with black, near black, or gray tones.
Although we endeavor to ship the quantity ordered,
OwlStamp Visual Solutions reserves the right to ship within 5% over or under
according to specific industry standards for certain product classes. Charges
and standards for particular product categories are listed below.
Stamps, Embossers, and Related Items – Exact

Engraving – Exact Quantity
Signs, Banners, and Related Items –Exact Quantity
Printing – 5%, No Charge for Overs; Unders will be
deducted from cost.

OwlStamp Visual Solutions has and assumes no
obligation to proof or otherwise review the content or layout of your order.
Even if an OwlStamp Visual Solutions customer service representative has inquired
as to the attributes of one of your prior orders, you are not entitled nor
should you assume that OwlStamp Visual Solutions will review any other order you
place.
For designs that OwlStamp Visual Solutions creates
or provides for you, we will give you an electronic proof for your approval.
Products are manufactured from customer files "as
submitted" or from approved proofs, and the customer is fully responsible
for final proof and layout verification and approval prior to submission to the
production process. Once you submit an order to the production process you are
agreeing that you are fully satisfied with the document layout and content and
you accept responsibility for any errors therein. OwlStamp Visual Solutions 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, grammar, damaged fonts, punctuation, transparency, overprint,
improper layout, bleeding, erroneous cut or fold lines, die lines or crop
marks, sizing, etc.
You agree that you shall indemnify and defend and
hold OwlStamp Visual Solutions and its officers, directors, employees,
shareholders, agents, affiliates, subsidiaries, suppliers and representatives,
harmless from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, costs, and
expenses (including but not limited to attorneys' fees) that, directly or
indirectly, arise out of or are related to: (i) your breach of any provision of
the Terms and Conditions; (ii) any suit, claim, or demand arising from or relating
to an allegation that any Customer Content provided by You, or any other text,
