AUGUST SINCLAIR - TERMS & CONDITIONS

DESIGN PROCESS

Once your order is placed you will receive a link to our Design Process Form. This is where you will fill out all your wording and details to begin your Design Process. Your order comes with 3 complimentary PDF proofs. If any additional proofs are needed, our additional proof fee will be applied.

The design process takes an estimated 2 weeks. This is dependent on response time with revisions and feedback. Delays in your responses will result in delays for your final shipping date.

After your design process is complete your order will then go into print and production.

PROOFING

It is extremely important that you thoroughly check your proofs for correct
times, dates, and spelling of all words, including names and places, in addition to the design elements. Once the final approval for the Final Proof Contract is received, you are giving AUGUST SINCLAIR full permission to print all pieces as they appear on your Final Proof. Once approved, no changes can be made and AUGUST SINCLAIR will not be held responsible for any errors found after your approval. ALL reprinting costs will be the responsibility of the CLIENT. The proof you approve for printing is exactly what will be printed. Please proofread carefully and have a friend or family member check for accuracy as well. Proofs are extremely important because an approved proof is directly used to generate the printed pieces. By approving a final proof and sending over the final agreement you agree that all text and designs will appear exactly as shown and that all content, spelling and punctuation is correct, with no further changes necessary. If what you included on your client order form is different than what's included in the final proof and you sign on the final proof, the final proof approval contract overrules this because the CLIENT signed the final proof contract.

PLEASE PROOFREAD SLOWLY AND VERY CAREFULLY: WE PRINT DIRECTLY FROM THE FINAL, APPROVED PROOF. ONCE YOU APPROVE THE PROOF, THERE WILL BE NO FURTHER REVIEW OF YOUR ORDER FOR
SPELLING, PUNCTUATION OR CONTENT.

PRINT & PRODUCTION TURN AROUND TIMES

Digital print and production takes an estimated 2-3 weeks and Letterpress and Foil print and production takes an estimated 4-5 weeks. On the rare occasion that we need to push back your timeline dates, we will contact you immediately.
