SinaLite 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 SinaLite will try its best to match the gradient density of each color, SinaLite 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. SinaLite 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. SinaLite will make every effort to produce a reasonable representation based on materials supplied by the customer; however, SinaLite 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 SinaLite will try its best to trim and fold each job accurately as per the order specs and artwork, SinaLite 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 support ticket 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 SinaLite 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.

While SinaLite will use reasonable efforts to prevent delay of delivery schedules, in no case shall SinaLite be liable for any consequential or damages resulting from any delay in shipment or delivery. Orders are F.O.B. the SinaLite Plant, and customer shall have recourse only to its selected courier for any shipping issues. SinaLite 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.

If you are requesting from delivery to pickup or vice versa, the cutoff time for the request is 2:00 PM ET.
