We follow generally accepted trade practices and strive to produce the exact amount requested. If there are over runs, we will offer them to you at a reduced price. If you need an exact amount, suggest a minimum of 5% overage be ordered at the time the order is placed.

PAYMENTS/ESTIMATES:

INSTALLATION:

We prefer to use out facility for installation. If you elect to have installation elsewhere, we will not be held liable for any issues related to improper installation conditions such as temperature of dust, and any all down time will be billed at $65.00 per hour (prorated in 15-minute increments)

You agree to pay us in accordance with the terms specified in each proposal/estimate. Accounts that have not submitted a credit application and been approved by our credit department, will be required to pay a 50% of the project cost before work can begin. Unless otherwise specified, all subsequent balances due are payable upon collection or delivery/shipment of the order. Interest on past due balances is 2% of the total compounded daily. We reserve the right to refuse completion or delivery of work until past due balances are paid.

INSTALLATION APPOINTMENT:

In the event you miss an installation appointment without providing us a 24-hour notice, a charge of $60.00 will be added to your bill.

LIABILITY:

IOur workmanship and quality follow the general industry standards. We warrant that our products meet industry standard. We ill not be held liable for the surfaces to which our products are applied. We make no other warranties, and no actions or words or our officers, employees or agents shall constitute a warranty.

PAYMENT TERMS:

We accept major credit cars, cash and company checks only. NO PERSONAL CHECKS. A fee of $35.00 will be charged for return checks, in addition to amount due. Purchases made by credit card will show White Tiger Graphics as the vendor and will have a 4% processing fee added to the final total.

PLASTIC/RUBBER PARTS:

PRODUCTION SCHEDULES:

The material used for vehicle wraps does not stick well to textured plastic or rubber parts such as window trim, side plastic moldings and plastic door handles. It is advised that these areas NOT be wrapped with adhesive vinyl. Initially the vinyl will stick. Over a short period of time (a few months), the vinyl may fall off of those areas, however, we will not be held liable.

PRINTING/INSTALLATION PROCESS:

Production schedules will be established and adhered to by both you and us, provided that neither shall incur any liability, penalty or additional cost due to delays caused by a state of war, riot, civil disorder, fire, labor trouble or strike, accident, energy failure, equipment breakdown, delay in shipment by suppliers or carriers, action of government or civil authority, acts of God or other caused beyond your control or ours. Where production schedules are not adhered to by you, final delivery date or dates will be adjusted accordingly.

Once the design is completed and approved by you, we can print the graphics. Depending on our production schedule, prints take approximately 3 business days, including drying and laminating time, before they are ready to be installed. Installations are all done by hand and take time to achieve perfect placement. In cases of curves, handles, deep grooves and rubber molding/trim, on the spot adjustments may be made by the installer to assure maximum readability or alignment. The installation process often takes no longer than a day or two, but we reserve to right to take an additional day for issues such as transportation, weather conditions or other conditions beyond our control.

PRINT-READY FORMAT:

PROOFS:

Proofs are created on a flat surface and viewed at a relatively tiny size on computer monitors and 8-inch printed paper. Often there are slight differences between the printed flat-paper proof and three-dimensional curved vehicle wrap. Before the production can begin, it is essential that you review and approve the proof we provide you of your project, paying special attention to any variations with the actual vehicle (for example: style of lights, positioning of license plates and other minor variations). All approvals must be in writing, returned to us marked “OK” or “Revised Proof Required” signed by you. WE WILL NOT ACCEPT VERBAL APPROVALS. If proofs are waived, we are not responsible for undetected errors.

All work undertaken is under the condition that a complete high-resolution file is supplied, complete with a color proof, pantone references and exact measurements and specifications. Where artwork is supplied by you, it is your responsibility to ensure the artwork is in a “print-ready” format. It is the responsibility of your designer to check the dimensions and layout of the actual project(s). Please review our Artwork Requirements.

PRINT-READY PROOFS:

PROPERTY:

We agree to store electronic artwork files for a period of 6 months beyond the delivery of a job. Thereupon, we reserve the right to disregard them. While we are in possession of the property you entrust to us, we will take all reasonable precautions to safeguard it. In the absence of negligence on out part, however, we are not responsible for loss, destruction, damage or unauthorized use by others of such property.

We charge a fee for pre-printing proof jobs that require specialty printing and/or your pre-approval (including digital files, etc.) are paid in advance.

REFUND/RETURN POLICY:

PRIVACY STATEMENT:

We will not share or sell any information that has been gathered during order processing with anyone. We use our customer information in house, for the sole purpose of order fulfillment.

There are no refunds on completed custom orders. Preproduction canceled orders require compensation for incurred costs and related obligations at the time of cancellation. The amount will be calculated and subtracted from the upfront payment. We will refund any amount that remains. Should our costs exceed that amount, you are still obligated to make payment in full.

REVISIONS AND ALTERATIONS:

REMOVALS:

New work requested by you and performed by us after an estimate has been approved is considered a revision or alteration. We will provide, at no additional charge to you, up to 3 revisions of the original design created by us. You understand that any change or set of changes requested at any one time constitutes 1 revision. Any revision(s) you request us to make beyond those 3 will be billed to you at the rate of $65.00/hour If the job changes to an extent that substantially alters the specifications described in the original estimate, we will submit a revised estimate to you, and an additional fee must be approved in writing by both parties before further work proceeds.

RIGHT TO SUBCONTRACT:

We reserve the right to subcontract or assign any portion of a job to another company.

All removals are quoted separately. A wrap removal can be very time consuming. We charge by the square foot and by the hour for labor. We will not be held responsible for any paint damage or existing stripping damage when a removal is performed. Since we cannot know the integrity of the existing paint job, the condition of the painted clear coat or the existing decals, we will not be held liable if, during the removal or the wrap, the clear coat is peeled back with the wrap. If there are existing vinyl stripes under the wrap, we will not be held liable if portions of the stripes are removed during the wrap removal. Over years of sun exposure prior to the wrap, the striping adhesive can become weak and, in some areas, the striping may come up as the wrap is removed. We do not use any steel or metal knives during the removal process.

RIGHTS OF OWNERSHIP:

RIGHT TO USE ARTWORK/PRODUCTS:

We and our affiliates have an unrestricted license to use, display, reproduce, modify, transmit and distribute information and designs given to us by you to the extent permitted by law. We reserve the right to use photos of your artwork/products as samples of our work we have completed for use in advertising media including, but not limited to, our brochures, signage, website, etc. We will not sell images or information given to us by you unless prior written consent has been given. We also reserve the right to use your printed products for samples or promotional advertising purposes.

We own all the original artwork files that we create for your project. Once the project is complete and paid for in full, you may choose to purchase the design files from us on a CD so they can be used in other print advertising. For a separate design fee, we will provide designs for flayers and brochures.

RUSH CHARGES:

Knowledge of your deadline is essential to provide an accurate estimate. Estimates are based on a reasonable time schedule and may be revised to take into consideration your “priority scheduling” requests. Therefore, rush charges may apply.

THIRD PARTY:

Where a third party design firm is involved on behalf of you, we will, at our sole discretion, consult and advise the third party design firm as part of our work order agreement. Additional charges may or may not be incurred. You will be responsible for all consultation fees should you decide to take the project elsewhere for printing and installation. We make no representations or warranties as to any products or services offered from a third party vendor.

VEHICLE PREPARATION:

SUPPLIER’S PERFORMANCE

We will use our best efforts to ensure quality and timely delivery of all printed pieces. Although we may use our best efforts to guard any loss to you through the failure of our vendors, media or others to perform in accordance with their commitments, we are not responsible for failure on their part.

If you select your own vendors, or other than those recommended by us, you may request that we coordinate their work. If at all possible, we will attempt to do so, but we cannot in anyway be held responsible for quality, price, performance or delivery.

You are responsible for cleaning you vehicle with soap and water 12 hours prior to installation of graphics. An additional fee will be applied if vehicle is not washed. We are not responsible for items that are contained within the vehicle. You are responsible for removing anything that is valuable from your vehicle prior to installation or drop-off.

WARRANTIES:

We make no warranties or guarantees in regard to accuracy of your submitted files. We are not responsible for damages or loss of revenue that may result from delays in shipping or production. Any of the above

limitations which do not apply to your state’s jurisdictions, in part or in whole does not void this document.

TERM AND TERMINATION:

The term of this agreement will continue for progress until terminated by either of us upon 30 days written notice. If you should direct us at any time to cancel, terminate or put on hold any previously authorized purchase, we will promptly do so, provided you hold us harmless for any cost incurred as a result. Upon termination of this agreement, we will transfer to you all you materials and property in our control and for which you have paid. You will indemnify and hold us harmless for any loss or expense (including attorney’s fees), and agree to defend us in any actual suit, claim or action arising in any way from our working relationship. This includes, but is not limited to, ascertains made against you and any of your products and services arising from the publication of materials that we prepare and you approve before publication.
