Terms & Conditions

May we ask a favor? Please read these terms and conditions before using this website.

To avoid any hard feelings in the future, we provide our terms and conditions in advance for your use and knowledge. We will do our best to explain our terms and conditions in a simple manner, using plain English whenever possible.

This website is provided by Rapid Print of SWFL Inc. as a service to our customers. Please review the basic rules that govern your use of this website. These rules are also referred to as terms and conditions, and you should be aware that your use of the website constitutes your unconditional agreement to follow and be bound by these terms and conditions.

Every online printing firm has terms and conditions similar to ours, but you'll notice a big difference between us and them – our terms and conditions haven't been written by a team of corporate attorneys. There are no hidden gotchas here. It is our earnest desire to make it as easy as possible to do business with our printing firm.

Section A of our terms and conditions will specifically cover "orders placed" with rapidprintswfl.com, while Section B applies to "general" terms and conditions of doing business with Rapid Print of SWFL Inc.

SECTION A - Terms and Conditions for Ordering Printing

The Rapid Print Satisfaction Guarantee 

We stand 100% behind our products and services. Our goal is for you to be 100% satisfied. If you are not fully satisfied with your purchase, please call our customer service team by phone at 239.590.9797 within 30 days from the date that you receive your printing, and we will happily reprint part or all of your order. Depending on the situation, for special circumstances we may opt to refund the full price of the product(s) in question, excluding postage and freight.

Rapid Print of SWFL is wholly committed to our customers' satisfaction, and we continually strive to provide printing that reflects a craftsman's touch. We do everything possible to ensure the highest printing quality, accurate color reproduction, precise cutting and on-time delivery. However, there are certain circumstances or issues that are beyond our control and are not covered by our guarantee. Here is a list of things that can go wrong that we cannot be responsible for:

• Typos on customer-submitted art. This includes spelling, punctuation, or grammatical errors that were made by the customer.  If we have designed the art, a proof is always provided for customer approval.  Please take your time to verify all of the text, spelling and everything else about the job is accurate.
• Ordering an incorrect quantity. We are not responsible when you accidentally order too much or too little, order the wrong size, choose the wrong type, or order the wrong product.
• Damages to printed products or services that occur after delivery to the customer.
• Design errors that have been submitted in a customer's artwork file.
• Mistakes that occur when the file layout is not accurate when it comes to custom services like folding, three-hole drilling, scoring, or die-cutting.
• Color selection errors, design errors, or inferior-quality resolution files that have been submitted by the customer.
• Shipping charges that occur because of an incorrect shipping address or other shipping-related errors caused by the customer.

We urge you to carefully spend a few moments proofing and double-checking your designs carefully BEFORE submitting your artwork for printing. It probably sounds kind of obvious, but the least costly time to fix a mistake is before you place your order.

This guarantee is also subject to a few other terms and conditions:

  *   We offer a service of file checking, in addition to a printed sample.  Yes,       these items do incur an added charge- but depending on the complexity of your order we highly recommend these options.  They will provide you with piece of mind that the order will look as you expect.  

• Our full reprint guarantee does not apply to shipping claims. However, we will certainly take a look at the damage and see what we are able to do to assist.
• We ask that your original order be returned, before we determine how to proceed with a reprint of your order.
• We are not responsible or liable for any damages or claims incurred by you or your business that are caused by printing materials which are defective or incomplete or which you received later than the estimated due date. This guarantee is limited (only) to reprinting of the original order quantity. In no event shall our liability to you for any reason exceed the amount actually paid to us, if any, for or through the use of this website.
• Rapid Print of SWFL is not liable for U.S. Postal Service mistakes, loss, or delayed delivery times.

PAYMENT

• This guarantee is limited to the full cost of us reprinting your original order. This guarantee does not cover fees for mailing services or associated incidental or consequential damages or claims of any kind.
• The prices for goods and services shown on this website are in US dollars ($USD), unless otherwise noted.
• If a visitor to this site submits a request to purchase printing products or services, the visitor has become a user of this site, and the user agrees that all charges, taxes, and shipping fees will automatically be charged to the credit card or paid by the user with a pre-approved payment method.
• Once an order for printing has been approved by the customer and "sent" to the site, no changes are allowed in the deadline times, the artwork files, or the job specifications. After an order for printing has been sent via the website, the customer is responsible for paying the entire amount of the order, unless otherwise noted. In some cases, a refund may be issued to the customer if no work has been started by Rapid Print of SWFL. We will only consider these types of refunds when you personally take responsibility to notify us by phone during normal working hours that are posted elsewhere on the site.

PAYMENT METHODS

All requests to purchase printing must be submitted with a mutually approved and agreed upon payment method. If you have any questions on payment options, please call us at your earliest convenience.

Approved methods for payments vary, but are not limited to, any of the following methods.

• Credit card or debit card. This is how many of our orders are paid for. We use a very secure server that encrypts your payment data so that only our computers can decode and understand it. Credit card payments are very safe with us.
• Payment by check. We accept business checks, but we may ask you to mail us a check before we begin to process your work.
• Open accounts. We do accept open accounts at our printing firm for government and educational institutions and for pre-approved local and regional businesses. If you would like details about how to open an account at our printing firm, please call us in advance of placing your order. We'd be happy to discuss the details and explain the payment options and terms available to you.

SALES TAX POLICY

Rapid Print of SWFL is required to collect state sales tax on all printing purchases shipped to Florida and California, where we are required to pay sales tax. If your organization has a sales tax exemption, it is your responsibility to supply us with written copies of your sales tax exemption forms at the time the order is placed.

ARTWORK FILES

If you you have selected that you want your art file checked (pre-flighted) the prepress department at Rapid Print of SWFL inspects the artwork files before printing, but you are still 100% responsible for spelling, context and the text you have chosen to supply for accuracy of your print-ready artwork files. We encourage you to take a few moments and carefully inspect and proofread your files before submitting them to our website. We provide easy-to-understand file preparation tutorials in the Help Center of our website. There, you will also find a large collection of layout templates that will make it much easier for you to create print-ready files. Finally, we would remind you that the postal and mailing regulations from the United States Postal Service are subject to change, and it is your sole responsibility to submit artwork that complies with the current mailing guidelines provided by the USPS.

Requests & Payments for Expedited Printing Services

At times production schedules may not allow for completion of a rush job that has been placed on line.  You will be notified as soon as the job has been processed if meeting a deadline will be an issue.  At that time we can offer a different timeline, or a refund for your order if you wish to cancel.

SHIPPING

We allow customers to pick up completed jobs at our printing facility- at this time it is curbside due to COVID-19. We suggest that you call before visiting, so we can have everything ready to go for you.

Rapid Print of SWFL also delivers jobs locally. If you would like us to deliver your job, please add one extra day to the timeline of the project.  Our current delivery schedule is Tuesdays and Thursdays, so if your order is time sensitive in many cases to ensure you receive the order as quick as possible it is easiest to pick up.

All other shipping is done via United Parcel Service (UPS) and USPS. Through both carriers, we provide ground delivery.

We will do everything we can to help you solve your problem quickly and at a reasonable cost. Every customer is important to us, but sometimes we are able to do extraordinary things for our neighboring local businesses because of time and distance advantages. We often work early or late or weekends to hit important deadlines. Please call us, we can help.
