The provider’s liability for this property will not exceed the amount recoverable from the insurance.

This right applies even if credit has been extended, notes have been accepted, trade acceptances have been made, or payment has been guaranteed. If payment is not made, the customer is liable for all collection costs incurred.
LIABILITY: (16A) Disclaimer of Express Warranties – Provider warrants that the finished product is as described in the purchase order.

This will apply regardless of responsibility for negligence. (17A) 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 produce. The customer further warrants that no copyright notice has been removed from any material used in preparing the subject matter for reproduction. To support these warranties, the customer agrees to indemnify and hold the provider harmless for all liability, damages, and attorney fees that may be incurred in any legal action connected with copyright infringement involving the work produced or provided.

The customer will, at the customer’s sole expense, promptly and thoroughly defend the provider in all legal actions on these grounds as long as the provider: (1) promptly notifies the customer of the legal action; (2) gives the customer reasonable time to undertake and conduct a defense. The provider reserves the right to use his or her sole discretion in refusing to print anything he or she deems illegal, libelous, scandalous, improper or infringing upon copyright law.

Payment processing at point of sale via credit card swipe practices are accepted through the preferred methods of the provider: Paypal, Stripe, Xero and/or Square.
STORAGE: The provider will retain intermediate materials until the related end product has been accepted by the customer.
