Terms & Conditions

ART PROOFING:  First proof from your artwork submitted in accordance with Allegheny Printed Plastics’ Electronic Artwork Guidelines, no charge.  Additional charges may apply to art creation, modification, or proof revisions.  Electronic Artwork Specifications available upon request.  When possible, artwork should be submitted on CD-rom, by E-Mail, or by FTP. Artwork must be in electronic form for editing and adjustment purposes. For more information, go to Art Specifications on our website.  Camera-ready art or negatives can also be used at an additional charge.  Electronic files are retained on CD-rom for reorder purposes.

CANCELLATION:  Orders accepted by Seller are not subject to cancellation or deferral of delivery by Buyer (customer) except with Seller’s consent and upon terms which will indemnify Seller against loss or damage occasioned by such cancellation or deferment, including reimbursement for all costs incurred by Seller to date of cancellation or deferment.

CHANGE ORDER: Any changes or change orders must be in writing and are subject to seller's approval and possible additional charges.

CLAIMS:  Buyer shall make prompt inspection and all claims must be made in writing to Seller within thirty (30) days after delivery.  Buyer will afford Seller’s representative reasonable opportunity to examine and test the material which is the basis of the claim. Upon request by Seller, Buyer shall return to Seller the material, together with such other items as Seller may request.  All material upon which a claim is made must be returned to Seller  upon Seller’s request in as good condition as when received by the Buyer as a condition for refund or credit.  No claim against Seller shall be made or allowed or credit given for material returned without prior authorization of Seller. In the event material is received in less than the full amount, a copy of the delivering carrier’s receipt, indicating the shortage, shall be forwarded to Seller by Buyer for proper adjustment, if any.  Deduction shall not be taken against the original invoices.

COLOR MATCHING: Color matching on non-porous substrates like plastic is less precise than with paper printing. This is especially true for light colors, pastels and when printing on colored or recycled plastic. We are committed to consistently controlling color to a defined tolerance by combining state of the art technology for automating workflows with tightly controlled processes to ensure color quality. Our production process complies with ISO 12647-2 and we utilize calibration methods to ensure accurate color from proof to final product.  Product displays show a range of capability but are not complete; call for consultative support.  A signed proof approval is required before starting production on most orders; one proof is provided free of charge for that purpose. Additional copies or revisions of proofs are quoted upon request.  Signed approval of a proof constitutes a customer's legal acceptance of copy.

COLORED PLASTICS:  We stock many popular colors, including metallic gold and silver. Not all manufacturers’ colors are exactly the same.  Call for samples or request them from our samples request page.

CONTRACT TERMS:  The acceptance of all or part of the goods ordered by Buyer shall constitute acceptance by Buyer of the terms and conditions hereof.  The contract of sale formed by acceptance of the invoiced goods by Buyer is expressly limited to the terms specified herein which supersede all the terms and conditions of Buyer’s order or any other form of contract used by Buyer and any variation from the terms herein is specifically objected to unless such variation is consented to in writing and signed by Seller all laws or rules of construction of contracts to the contrary notwithstanding.  Sales pursuant to Buyer’s order containing different or additional terms does not constitute acceptance of such terms.  This transaction shall be governed in every respect by the internal laws of Pennsylvania.
