1) Exclusivity of These Terms
These are the exclusive terms under which we (the manufacturer of E-Line, Exel-O-Craft and Donut Box products) are willing to sell our products. Any quotation by us is an offer to sell and not an acceptance of any purchase order or other document received from a distributor. Acceptance of any order is strictly limited to these terms and we object to any terms and conditions or purchase conditions of a distributor which are different from these terms. Your agreement to these terms shall be conclusively presumed from your acceptance of all or any part of the goods ordered.
2) Order Instructions
Order instructions must include quantity, style number, description, imprint copy (typed or CLEARLY printed) and complete information on where to ship. If the order is “same copy as last year,” please include a sample or photocopy of the ad and reference previous order numbers.
3) Acknowledgments
An acknowledgment of receipt of each order is made. Please use our acknowledgment number in all your communications to expedite any other questions you might have about your order. Any reference on the face of the acknowledgment to any documents of a distributor shall be deemed to incorporate only typed or handwritten information and not any standard printed terms or conditions on such distributor’s document.
4) Early Order Policy
To avoid any misunderstandings, our policy for early priced orders is as follows:
5) Calendar Production Times
Times vary by item, quantity ordered, and time of year. Specific deadlines must be preapproved by the factory. Proofs must be reviewed by the customer as a part of the production process.
General Production Guidelines
Some items can be produced in less time while others require more time. Contact the factory if you need additional information. Skinner & Kennedy does not guarantee ship dates. We will try to ship on your requested ship date, but due to high order volume at different times throughout the year, we frequently assign ship dates according to our production schedule. All orders received are acknowledged and are given an estimated ship date. If you have a concern regarding your order’s estimated ship date, contact the factory.
6) Time of Delivery
The indicated delivery times are always to be understood as approximate. Unless we have agreed in writing otherwise, we reserve the right to make deliveries in installments. Delay in delivery of all installments does not relieve a distributor of (i) its obligation to pay for all installments received prior to such delay or (ii) its obligations to accept remaining deliveries. We reserve the right, even after partial shipment on account of any order, to require satisfactory security from distributor. Distributor’s refusal to furnish such security will entitle us to suspend shipments until such security is furnished, and will also allow us to cancel the order. A distributor nevertheless must pay for such shipments as may have been delivered prior to cancellation. No damage claims of any kind can be made for delays in delivery of the order. We shall not be liable for any consequential or incidental damages resulting from a delay in delivery.
7) Type Style and Layout
Except production-ready art, orders are accepted with the understanding that our typesetters/composers use their professional judgment as to type and copy arrangement. Unless you specify a particular layout and/or type style, we will set up the ad to best advantage according to our professional standards. If you submit a sample with your offer marked “as close as possible to type shown,” we will be able to select a similar, if not exact, type style. “Request for exact type as shown” may require additional time and cause additional charges.
8) Ad Copy Proofs
See individual calendar information for paper proof charge.
Note: All production timetables listed are after receipt of approved proof. A color match print can be furnished if desired. A color swatch or PMS number should be sent with request. Using the actual ad copy, a proof showing a commercially acceptable trade match color of the finished product will be produced. Size of: 8 ½” x 11” & under . . . $120.00(G) per color; 8 ½” x 11” to 11” x 14” . . . $150.00(G)per color; 11” x 14” to 11” x 17” . . . $160.00(G)per color
9) Copy Changes
Copy change charges apply if you want the same standing ad on the same calendar but desire to change an individual agent’s name, address or phone number. See individual calendar for exact copy change charge. Minimum quantity required.
10) Picture Selection
On calendars providing for customer’s selection of pictures, pictures may be assorted in quantities of 50 per subject. Please note assortment for calendar style and order pictures by title and picture number.
11) Set-ups from Photos or Artwork
Set-ups are necessary when production-ready artwork or a photograph is furnished. Because of widely varying sizes and amount of artwork sometimes involved, it is impossible to set specific charges. No estimates of charges will be furnished unless requested when order is placed. Artwork will be stored for use on future orders unless order requests that the artwork be returned.
12) Accuracy of Specifications
When submitting artwork, quotations are based on the accuracy of the specifications provided. We can requote a job at time of submission if copy, files, CDs, or other input materials do not conform to the information on which the original quotation was based.
13) Electronic Copy or Image
It is the customer’s responsibility to maintain a copy of the original file. We are not responsible for accidental damage to media supplied by the customer or for the accuracy of the furnished input or final output. Until digital input or final output can be evaluated by us, 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 customer-supplied files will be charged at prevailing rates.
