All artwork, designs and images must be provided in minimum of 300 DPI and CMYK color mode. Plan 9 is not responsible for images printed as fuzzy, distorted or pixilated due to customer provided artwork.

8. COLOR PROOFING AND MATCHING

Plan 9 is not liable for color matching or ink density on screen proofs approved by the customers. Screen proofs will predict design layout, text accuracy, image proportion and placement, but not color or density. While Plan 9 will try its best to match the gradient density of each color, Plan 9 is not liable for the final appearance of a color. Stock and coating, especially uncoated stock, may effect or change the appearance of the printed colors. Plan 9 is not liable for the final color appearance of its products. Because of differences in equipment, paper and inks and other conditions between color proofing and production pressroom operations, a reasonable variation in color between color proofs and the completed job is expected, unavoidable and shall constitute an acceptable delivery. Plan 9 will make every effort to produce a reasonable representation based on materials supplied by the customer; however, Plan 9 does not guarantee color matching. Unfortunately time to time there is a misrepresentation of color due to soft proofing because of calibration of one monitor to another.

9. TRIMMING AND FOLDING

While Plan 9 will try its best to trim and fold each job accurately as per the order specs and artwork, Plan 9 is not liable for up to 0.0625" of trimming and folding variance on each side. The design of the artwork should not be dependent on exact trimming or fold dimensions.

10. ORDER CANCELLATION

Orders are eligible for cancellation upon request via email until the commencement of imposition, subject to applicable cancellation charges. A store credit or credit card refund will be issued with a value equal to the cancelled job(s). If a job is cancelled charges for any labor hours (proof, file adjustment, etc.) or administrative fees (credit cards fees, etc.) will be subtracted from your credit. In cases where a job is already imposed but cancellation may still be possible, a minimum cancellation charge of $25 per job is required. Once the order has been placed successfully, No Refunds are issued for file adjustment services.

11. RETURNS AND REFUNDS

Since each order is unique to customer and has no re-sale value, All Sales Are Final. If we verify that we made an error, we will reprint the order or issue a credit or refund accordingly. Customer must notify Plan 9 within 10 business days of receiving order to notify us of any defects discovered in the ordered product failing which Customer is deemed satisfied with the product. We may occasionally request that we pick up the printed material prior to issuing the reprint, credit, or refund.

12. ORDER SHIPPING AND DELIVERY

Please note that all turnaround times are estimates. While Plan 9 will use reasonable efforts to prevent delay of delivery schedules, in no case shall Plan 9 be liable for any consequential or damages resulting from any delay in shipment or delivery. Orders are F.O.B. the Plan 9, and customer shall have recourse only to its selected courier for any shipping issues. Plan 9 shall not be liable for delays in shipments caused by weather conditions, shipping company delays, international customs issues or any other circumstances. Unexpected equipment failure, malfunction and or technical problems may delay the printing process. In case of delay caused by technical difficulty, rush charges/fees will be refunded or waived where applicable. However, technical difficulty will not be the grounds for order cancellation.
