h. Product(s) and Device(s) shall not be considered defective if it is a different color than shown in the Seller catalog or website, nor is any warranty made relating to velcro or frame materials. (PLEASE SEE COLOR MATCHING SECTION)
COLOR MATCHING:
Bounce Banners uses standard industry software for designing and printing purposes and sells Product(s) and Device(s) via a website accessed by internet-connected devices. There are differences in construction and configuration between computer screens and monitors. The fact that there is no true uniformity in standards to which monitors and screens must conform results in a variance in color from monitor to monitor, screen to screen. Further, monitors use light to display images and use a standard known as RGB. Seller produces colors on a variety of machines, none of which can use light. As such, Buyer agrees that Seller does not guarantee exact color matching or that printed colors will appear exactly as they do on the Buyer’s screen or monitor. Slight color variations are possible and will not be considered a production defect, and thus will not be eligible for a Replacement, Return or any type of Refund. Bounce Banners uses the best judgement to match colors, but if you need visually exact matching colors, we suggest ordering a sample product first.
PRODUCT TOLERANCES:
All dimensions and weights in regards to products sold will be stated on the website in product descriptions. These figures are approximate and within industry tolerances. Seller is constantly seeking ways to improve specification; design and production of banners, artwork and all products take place continuously. While every effort is made to produce up-to-date descriptions and information, Seller’s brochure, catalog and website should not be regarded as an exact guide to current specification, nor do the constitute an offer for sale of any particular item. Further, all banners are cut to order and can vary slightly in size. Sizes quoted are to be taken as approximations as it is impossible to define exact sizes on every item.
Materials used can vary from item to item and due to availability at the time of production. Seller, at its discretion, may substitute standard colors and/or materials for similar products if deemed necessary to complete the order on time. Suppliers of vinyl materials used in Seller manufactured products cannot guarantee that each roll or batch of a listed color or weight will be exactly consistent; therefore, Seller cannot guarantee exact color and weight consistency in vinyl used in Product(s) and Device(s). Seller, at its discretion, may change or alter a design for any Seller manufactured product, without notice to Buyer, if there is discovered to be an issue of safety or structural integrity.
PRODUCT VARIATIONS & MODIFICATIONS:
In the event where Buyer requests any changes in design, manufacturing, order quantity, delivery terms, custom artwork, other customization, and/or other matters, prices are subject to reflect those variations. All variations must be disclosed at the time of order placement by Buyer in writing to Seller and are subject to approval by an authorized representative of Bounce Banners.
DESIGN PROOFING:
Seller will not proofread any design made by the Buyer. Please double check all your submitted design and customization requests before submitting the order. Seller cannot be held responsible for any mistakes in design made by the Buyer.
Bounce Banners will print the file or customization as is submitted by the Buyer. In the case where a proof is requested, Seller will produce the last proof approved by the Buyer. Any changes to the proof have to be done before approval of the proof.
SAFETY SIGNS DISCLAIMER:
Buyer is solely responsible for the following with respect to any printed safety signage materials:
a. Identifying the appropriate precautions, including signage materials, symbols, language and designs necessary to comply with any applicable local, state, or federal laws or regulations, including ANSI and/or OSHA standards.
b. Adequately warning invitees, employees, and the public of any hazards.
