Please note that your use of the Alsett.com site (the “Site”) constitutes your unconditional agreement to follow and be bound by these Terms and Conditions. Although you may “bookmark” a particular portion of this Site and thereby bypass this Agreement, your use of this Site still binds you to these Terms and Conditions. Alsett reserves the right to update or modify these Terms and Conditions at any time without prior notice to you, and we encourage you to review these Terms and Conditions whenever you use this Site.

Section A
Terms and Conditions of Order
The Alsett Satisfaction Guarantee
Alsett stands behind the quality of its products and services. If you are not satisfied with your purchase from us, contact Customer Service by phone at +1.833.233.2552 within 7 days from the date you receive your order, and we will work with you to resolve the issue in a timely manner.
Alsett will run your order through our 20-Point Checklist, if errors are found, you will be responsible for correcting any issues, and your order will be withheld from production until you complete the changes or notify us to print as is. This may extend the delivery date of your order.
Aside from minor fixes by our prepress team, if we find issues while reviewing your artwork, we’ll contact you and have you make any necessary corrections. We make our best effort via email, phone and posting notes to your account to reach you quickly. We know your print job is often time sensitive, therefore if we cannot reach you within 1 business day we will proceed with the job and no refunds or reprints will be issued.
Please note Alsett is not responsible for the following:
File Submissions
- Inaccurate or poor quality artwork
- Errors in user-selected options such as product type, size, finishing options, etc.
- Incorrect file layout for folding, scoring, hole drilling, die cutting or other custom services.
Shipping and Delivery
- Delivery delays due to improperly prepared files.
- Incorrect shipping address, undeliverable packages/3rd delivery attempts, or other errors created by you.
- Damage to the products arising after delivery to you.
Payment
All prices and amounts shown on this Site are in U.S. Dollars (USD), unless otherwise noted. If a User submits a request on the Site to purchase printing products, mailing services, design services or other services, the User agrees that all charges, taxes and shipping and processing fees will automatically be charged to the credit card or paid by User with an approved payment method. Such amounts will be posted on this Site.
Once a print job has been approved by you and “sent to press” on the Site, no changes are allowed to the artwork files, job characteristics, or printing turnaround time. After a print job has been sent to Alsett’s prepress department, you are responsible for paying the entire amount of that print job along with applicable taxes, shipping, and processing fees, unless otherwise noted.
All sales are final, unless otherwise noted. No refunds are given once Alsett begins working on your order, which means Alsett has received your necessary materials (i.e., digital files and payment) and started work on your job (i.e., your job is in production).
Please note that no work will proceed on any print job in your order until full payment is received by Alsett.
Payment Methods
All purchase requests must be submitted with an approved payment method unless otherwise expressly stated. Approved payment methods include any of the following methods:
- Pay by credit card.
- Pay by pre-pay or check.
- Pay on account.
Alsett Store Credit
- Store credit amounts are non-transferable and non-refundable
- For any jobs to be canceled, refunded or adjusted, ONLY the paid portion (via credit card or PayPal) of a job will be available for refund
- Expires on the date displayed on payment page and email notification
- Store credit as payment:
- Store credit amount can be used for incremental payment only when original payment is NOT paid via store credit
- Store credit CANNOT be used in payment along with PO payment method
- Store credit amount can be used to pay FULL or PARTIAL amounts and can be used for all line items including tax, shipping and mailing components.
- Store credit can carry a balance until credits expire or are used in full (whichever comes first).
Our Sales Tax Policy
Alsett, a division of Deluxe Small Business Sales, Inc., is required to collect and remit sales tax in all US jurisdictions that administer such tax.
Artwork Files
You are responsible for the accuracy of your print-ready artwork files, and you must proofread all files carefully before submitting to Alsett. As postal regulations are subject to change, you are also responsible for complying with current mailing restrictions for your layouts. Check with your local Post Office for current guidelines and restrictions. Please use our file preparation guidelines and product templates to assist you in creating print-ready files. We also offer design services for a fee.
You certify that you have the right to use the image(s) in your artwork files. DO NOT send any “one-of-kind” transparencies, prints or artwork. Although we take every precaution to safeguard your materials, we are NOT responsible for loss or damage of images or artwork.
Under these Terms and Conditions, you agree that you will NOT upload any artwork files consisting of the following material: any material that could give rise to any civil or criminal liability under applicable law; and any material that could infringe rights of privacy, publicity, copyrights or other intellectual property rights without the permission of the owner of these rights and the persons who are shown in the material if applicable. Alsett is unable to print sexually explicit materials, including photographic genitals, violently explicit materials, and speech promoting hate or violence.
Printing Turnaround Time
Printing turnaround time begins once your order has been placed and your print-ready files have been uploaded to your account, attached to your printing job, and approved for printing. If you ordered a next day hardcopy proof or standard hardcopy proof, printing turnaround time begins when we receive approval for your proof. Please note that if we are unable to print your files because they do not conform to our file requirements, your job status will return to “Need Artwork” and your printing turnaround time will be reset.
For printing jobs that do not have complete digital source files provided, printing turnaround begins when we have your print-ready file(s) for your print job, not from when the order is first
submitted.
If your job or proof is approved by 6:00 p.m. PST (9:00 p.m. EST), printing turnaround time begins that business day. For example, a job for a three-day printing turnaround that you approved by 1:00 p.m. PST on Tuesday will be shipped out to you by the end of business Friday. Please note that Alsett offices are closed Saturdays, Sundays and major holidays. As a result, these days are not considered when calculating printing turnaround time. In addition, printing turnaround time does not include shipping transit time, and you should allow additional business days for delivery based on the shipping method you selected.
Shipping and Arrival Times
Shipping transit times vary, and Alsett assumes no responsibility for delays caused by shipping carriers, weather or any damages resulting from the failure to receive a job on time. Your order may arrive late due to unforeseen delays in delivery service, the breakdown of equipment, illness, etc. Alsett is not responsible for delays due to improperly prepared files.
Target arrival dates are calculated by adding the printing turnaround time to the shipping transit time. If you are requesting a hardcopy proof, we already factor in additional time to reach your target date. For a standard hardcopy proof, expect approximately six business days to receive and approve your proof. For a next day hardcopy proof, expect two business days. Both printing and shipping times are based on business days only and do not include weekends or holidays. For example, a product with a printing turnaround time of two business days and a shipping method of 2nd Day Air would have a target arrival date four business days after your files have been received by us. The cut off time for accepting files is 6:00 p.m. PST (9:00 p.m. EST). If your files are in by that time, we will commit to printing and shipping your product within the selected timeframe.
You agree that shipping terms for all Alsett products are shipped “Freight On Board Shipping Point” or “F.O.B. Shipping Point” – title and risk of loss transfers to you at time of shipment or pickup.
Pick-up orders will be held for 30 days at our facility. After 30 days, we will recycle your order.
Mailing Services
Your mailing list(s), while in our possession, is your exclusive property and shall be used only with your instructions. Your mailing list(s) will not be sold or offered for use to any other party, and Alsett will not utilize the list for any other purpose.
All mailing delivery dates are estimates, not guarantees. Alsett’s responsibility is limited to preparing your mailing and completing delivery to the U.S. Postal Service (“USPS”). Alsett’s responsibility ends when the job is delivered to the United States Postal Service Mail Entry Unit. In no event shall Alsett be liable for USPS performance failures or delivery delays. This guarantee does not cover fees for mailing service or postage or associated incidental or consequential damages or claims. Alsett is not liable for shipping carrier errors, including loss or delay on direct-mail orders.
Alsett shall rectify printing and mailing errors only to the extent of re-mailing a correction or corrected job as soon as possible, and any costs shall be limited to the value of the printing work performed. Alsett will print your order once your list is processed. We may print an amount over and above the number of viable addresses in your mailing list, as well as a small quantity of print overs. Overs are not refunded and will be automatically mailed to your billing address. If you would like them shipped to a different address than your billing address, please post a note or call customer service to inform them of this change. All orders that fit in one box will be shipped to you at no additional charge. If there are additional overs, there will be a $20 handling fee plus the UPS shipping fee per additional box. Additional shipping for the overages will be billed to the credit card on file with your order.
Only postage is refundable upon request for any quantity from your mailing services job that did not mail due to invalid addresses in your mail list, or if the mail list consisted of fewer addresses than the quantity ordered. The minimum mailing quantity must be met before postage is refunded.
You may purchase a mailing list from Alsett for an additional cost. You may ask to see the purchased mailing list. Mailing lists purchased through Alsett.com are non-refundable.
Miscellaneous
Orders not sent to our printing presses within 180 days are available for a full refund upon request. After 180 days, orders are not available for a refund.
Please note that your printed product or images used for your printed product will not be used in any marketing collateral without your prior written consent.
IN NO EVENT WILL Alsett BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, EXEMPLARY, OR OTHER DAMAGES WHETHER OR NOT Alsett HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH LOSS OR DAMAGE. Alsett’S ENTIRE LIABILITY UNDER, FOR BREACH OF, OR ARISING OUT OF PROVIDING THE SERVICES HEREUNDER, IS LIMITED TO A REFUND OF THE FEES PAID FOR THE PRODUCT OR SERVICE THAT GAVE RISE TO THE CLAIM. IN NO EVENT SHALL Alsett BE LIABLE FOR YOUR COST OF PROCURING SUBSTITUTE GOODS.
You will defend and hold Alsett harmless in any claim, suit or action brought against Alsett by others for alleged damages, costs, expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees), liabilities or losses resulting from circumstances where Alsett, acting as your agent, uses copy, photographs, or illustrations that are believed by others to be degrading, libelous or harmful to their reputations, images, or standing in the community or which in Alsett’s sole judgment is an infringement on a trademark, or trade name, or service mark, or copyright belonging to others, or in a claim, suit or action brought against Alsett for actions of your employees which may occur as a result of any mailing.
