By placing an order with Print Runner, Inc., you agree to the following terms:

1.       Turnaround
Turnaround time for a print job where a PDF or hard copy proof is selected begins once the proof has been approved by you. If you did not select a PDF or a hard copy proof, turnaround time begins once your file is uploaded. If your job is approved by 2 P.M. Pacific Standard Time, turnaround time begins that business day. For example, a job with three-day turnaround that you approve by 2:00 pm Monday will be shipped out to you on Thursday afternoon. Please note: that if we are unable to print your files because they do not conform to our file requirements, your job status will be put "On Hold" and your turnaround time will be reset.

Allow additional business days for delivery based on the shipping method you selected. Business days are Monday through Friday. Holidays, Saturdays and Sundays do not count when calculating turnaround. Our turnaround times are an estimate, and are not to be confused with a guarantee. We assume no responsibility for delays caused by delivery carriers or any damages resulting from the failure to receive a job on time. Your order may arrive late due to unforeseen delays in delivery service, the breakdown of equipment, illness, etc

For more information, please visit our Turnaround page.

2.       Payment Terms
All orders must be prepaid. We accept Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover, and Electronic Checks. If you would like to pay by a regular check, your order will not print until the check has cleared. This may cause a significant delay in your order. Under no circumstances will Print Runner, Inc. provide COD terms on an order.  Credit terms may be applied for and are reviewed on a case by case basis. 

3.       Quotations/Estimates
Prices posted on this website are subject to change without notice. Written estimates are good for 30 days. An estimate not accepted within 30 days may be changed.

4.       Orders
Print Runner, Inc. reserves the right to use its sole discretion in refusing to print anything it deems improper or known to be illegal. Print Runner, Inc. is not liable for any damages resulting from unwitting violation of copyright laws or illegal use of trade names or slogans. The client guarantees the legal title of all matter submitted to Print Runner, Inc. for printing and/or publication.

5.       Cancellations
A request to cancel should be done by phone (Contact Us) to prevent the job from moving forward in the production process. Cancelled orders require compensation for incurred costs and related obligations at the time of cancellation. Due to our company procedures, you may only cancel an order without incurring additional fees prior to the approval of the artwork. All requests for cancellations after a PDF proof, Hard Copy proof, or the approval of the artwork are subject to a minimum cancellation fee of 15%. No refunds will be given for orders cancelled after the plating process.

6.       Accuracy of Specifications
Quotations are based on the accuracy of the specifications provided. Print Runner, Inc. can requote a job at the time of submission if the art does not conform to the information on which the original estimate was based. Orders placed with Print Runner, Inc. are to the client's knowledge correct, and there are no conditions or agreements relating to the order which are not written or accompanying said order.

7.       Liability
Print Runner, Inc.’s liability shall be limited to the stated selling price to the customer of any defective goods, and shall in no event include special, consequential, incidental, indirect or similar damages, including without limitation, lost profits. Print Runner, Inc. warrants that every product manufactured by it meets industry standard for such product and is free of any material defect in workmanship. IT IS EXPRESSLY AGREED THAT THIS WARRANTY IS IN LIEU OF ALL WARRANTIES OF FITNESS FOR PARTICULAR USE AND MERCHANTABILITY. Print Runner, Inc. makes no other warranty and no actions or words of Print Runner, Inc. or its officers, employees or agents shall constitute a warranty.

8.       Indemnification
The customer represents that it has the legal right to produce all printed materials ordered from Print Runner, Inc.. In the event that a charge, claim or demand, or arbitration, action or proceeding (collectively, a "Claim") is made or commenced against Print Runner, Inc. based upon, relating to or arising from the alleged wrongful acts of the customers, or alleging that the printing performed or product produced by Print Runner, Inc. ordered by the customer: (a.) infringes any copyright, patent or other proprietary right of any person; or (b.) contains matter that is libelous, slanderous, defamatory, scandalous or obscene, the customer shall indemnify and hold Print Runner, Inc. harmless from and against any loss, damages, cost and expense arising from or related to the Claim including without limitation; (1.) defending Print Runner, Inc. against any such Claim (2.) paying any judgment or award against the customer; and (3.) reimbursing Print Runner, Inc. for any legal fees and expenses it reasonably incurs in responding.

9.       Electronic Manuscripts/Images
It is the client's responsibility to maintain a copy of the original computer files, artwork and transparencies. Print Runner, Inc. is not responsible for accidental loss or damage to media supplied by the client or for errors on supplied artwork furnished by the client. Until Print Runner, Inc. can evaluate digital input, no claims or promises are made about our ability to work with jobs submitted in digital format, and no liability is assumed for problems that may arise. Any additional translating, editing, or programming needed to utilize client-supplied files will be charged at our current rates. Print Runner, Inc. does not archive your work for longer than it takes to produce the final product. Please save your work!

10.    Alterations/Corrections
Client alterations must be specified in writing and must include all corrections or changes from the original specifications. Such work will be charged at our current rates.

11.    Prepress Proofs
When requested by the customer, Print Runner, Inc. will submit color proofs for the customer's review and approval. Shipping charges associated with sending the proof will be displayed during the checkout process. Proofs must be returned, at the customer’s expense, to Print Runner, Inc. marked "O.K ." or "Revised Proof Required" and signed by the customer. Until the proof is returned, no additional work will be performed. Print Runner, Inc. will not be responsible for undetected production errors if:

o        Proofs are waived by the client

o        The work is printed per the client's written OK

o        Requests for changes are communicated verbally

o        All requests for changes of any kind must be made in writing to avoid mistakes.

o        Turnaround estimates begin after the proof is approved and arrives at Print Runner, Inc with the customer’s signature.

12.    Color Proofing
Because of differences in equipment, paper, inks, and other conditions between color proofing and production pressroom operations, a "pleasing color" variation between color proofs and the completed job [as determined by generally accepted trade technical methods] is to be expected. When such a variation occurs, it will be considered acceptable performance.

13.    Customer Supplied Proofs
Inkjet and laser prints are known to look substantially different than offset printing. We offer quick turnaround and low prices by printing to a "pleasing color" standard, using standard ink densities. There is no guarantee that your finished piece will match your printed sample. This is due to the varying results from different output devices including inkjet printers, continuous tone proofing devices,and film-based proofs.

14.    Electronic PDF Proofs
In order to provide an avenue for faster turnarounds, Print Runner, Inc. may supply an electronic PDF proof when requested by the customer.  PDF proofs are optimized for fast web downloads, and as a result, may appear “pixelized”.  It should be noted that the final printed pieces will not appear in this manner, provided that the customer supplied artwork complies with our Artwork Guidelines. Furthermore, due to the variation in monitor colors and adjustments, PDF proofs may not provide an accurate color representation of the final printed work.  It is recommended that a hard copy proof be purchased for all color critical work.

15.    Overruns/Underruns
Print Runner, Inc. will normally deliver the exact quantity of goods ordered plus a small additional amount. There is no extra charge for the additional amount. In the event of a significant underrun, Print Runner, Inc. may bill for the actual quantity delivered. The generally accepted trade practice is plus or minus 10%.

16.    Delivery
Charges for delivery of materials and supplies from the client or the client's supplier to Print Runner, Inc. are not included in quotations unless specified. Print Runner, Inc. is not responsible for delays and/or damage incurred during shipping. Title for finished work passes to the customer upon delivery to the carrier at shipping point; or upon mailing of invoices for the finished work or its segments, whichever comes first.

17.    Claims
Claims for defects, damages, or shortages must be made by the client in writing no later than 5 calendar days after delivery. If no such claim is made, Print Runner, Inc. and the client will understand that the job has been accepted. By accepting the job, the client acknowledges that Print Runner, Inc.'s performance has fully satisfied all terms, conditions and specifications.

18.    Disputes & Venue
For legal purposes, the venue for any dispute shall be Chatsworth, California, USA

19.    Right to Subcontract
Print Runner, Inc. shall have the right to assign any portion of the work required to another contractor.

20.    Workmanship Guarantee

If, after the customer has paid the invoice, it is determined that more tax is due, then the customer must promptly remit the required taxes to the taxing authority or immediately reimburse the provider for any additional taxes paid.

25.    Design Specifications
