Orders, Shipping, and Returns

Site Transactions
We reserve the right to refuse any order you place with TalkrTape®.
We may, in our sole discretion, limit or cancel quantities purchased per person, per business or per order. These restrictions may include orders placed by or under the same customer account, the same credit card, and/or orders that use the same billing and/or shipping address.

In the event we make a change to or cancel an order, we will attempt to notify you by contacting the e-mail and/or billing address/phone number provided at the time the order was made.

We reserve the right to limit or prohibit orders that, in our sole judgment, appear to be placed by unauthorized re sellers or distributors.

Production
Please note that TalkrTape® does not print or ship on weekends or US-observed holidays.

We operate on Eastern Standard time.

Tape is made and printed in the USA.

When placing your order, please review your text message and design carefully. Custom orders are non-refundable and generally non-returnable. Contact us directly if you have any questions about your tape design before we print it.

If the approved tape photo proof doesn’t match the tape you receive, please contact us directly and we will make it right.

Orders are normally fulfilled within 2 business days and are shipped promptly.
Custom orders that require design assistance can take up to 10 business days to process before shipping.

Our posted turnaround times begin ONLY after an order has been “APPROVED”. Orders are considered “APPROVED” and are put into production ONLY when the following four conditions have been met:

• An ORDER FORM has been completely filled out,
• All files have been correctly submitted,
• The customer has approved the online proof or the hard copy proof (if one was requested) and has given the go ahead to proceed with production, and
• Payment information has been provided.
• If a hard copy proof is requested, it must be signed and returned, in addition to the conditions above in order for a job to be considered “APPROVED”.

After the initial order is placed and your files have been successfully either uploaded, emailed, or snail-mailed, your files will be reviewed for issues that would prevent the job from being printed, such as resolution. If there are issues, you will be notified and a one-time design assistance fee per job of $10 may be added to your order. This fee will not be charged on subsequent re-orders of the same job.

No opinions regarding the artistic quality of the job will be rendered (for example does the job look good, are the colors used clashing with each other, is type too big or too small, etc.).
You may request an online photo proof when you place your order. You must approve the photo proof and provide payment before we continue production.

Once payment information is received and an order enters production, cancellations cannot be accepted. There are also no refunds or returns after this point.

Although we rarely miss production schedules, the printing and pre-press process involves equipment which is subject to malfunctions and/or equipment failure. We will always do everything in our power to make sure that any production problems do not delay your job. However, please note that all production and delivery times are not contractual, and no turnaround time can be guaranteed. No verbal or written correspondence by anyone at TalkrTape® can change that. Please try to plan date sensitive materials timely.

Shipping
When placing your order, please review your shipping address carefully. Shipping fees are non-refundable. TalkrTape® is not responsible for lost or returned items/packages due to address errors.

During our busy holiday season, we try our best to assure your order will arrive on time, but due to high volume and unexpected circumstances beyond our control there might be a slight delay in delivery of your order. Understandably, no refunds can be issued for orders delayed due to adverse weather conditions or any unforeseen circumstance that may affect TalkrTape.com or any of our carriers. Thank you for understanding.

Indemnification

This will apply regardless of responsibility for negligence.

Copyrights
The Customer also warrants that the subject matter to be printed is not copyrighted by a third party. The customer also recognizes that because subject matter does not have to bear a copyright notice in order to be protected by copyright law, absence of such notice does not necessarily assure a right to reproduce.

The Customer also warrants that the work does not contain anything that is libelous or scandalous, or anything that threatens anyone’s right to privacy or other personal or economic rights. The Customer will, at the Customer’s sole expense, promptly and thoroughly defend TalkrTape® in all legal actions on these grounds as long as TalkrTape® promptly notifies the customer of the legal action and gives the customer reasonable time to undertake and conduct a defense. TalkrTape® reserves the right to use their sole discretion in refusing to print anything deemed illegal, libelous, scandalous, improper or infringing upon copyright law.

Taxes
All amounts due for taxes and assessments will be added to the Customer’s invoice and are the responsibility of the Customer. No tax exemption will be granted unless the Customer’s “Exemption Certificate” (or other official proof of exemption) accompanies the order. If, after the Customer has paid the invoice, it is determined that more tax is due, then the Customer must promptly remit the required taxes to the taxing authority, or immediately reimburse the provider for any additional taxes paid.
