Terms and Conditions
USER CONTRACTWelcome to BigFamilyPhotos.com. This Web site is provided by FamilyLink.com, Inc. as a service to our customers. Please review the following basic rules that govern your use of the BigFamilyPhotos.com site. Your use of the BigFamilyPhotos.com site (the "Site") constitutes your agreement to follow and be bound by these Terms and Conditions. Although you may "bookmark" a particular portion of this Site, bypassing this Agreement, your use of this Site still binds you to these Terms and Conditions. BigFamilyPhotos.com reserves the right to update or modify these Terms and Conditions at any time without prior notice to you. Your use of the Site following any such change constitutes your unconditional agreement to follow and be bound by these Terms and Conditions as changed. For this reason, we encourage you to review these Terms and Conditions whenever you use this Site.
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/handling fees will automatically be charged to the credit card or paid by User with an approved payment method. We require each order to be fully paid, including shipping and handling fees, if applicable, before we fulfill an order.
Once a print job has been submitted by a customer, the order has been "sent to press," and no changes are allowed to the artwork files, job characteristics, or printing turnaround time. After a print job has been sent to BigFamilyPhotos.com, the customer is responsible for paying the entire amount of that print job along with applicable taxes and shipping/handling fees, unless otherwise noted.
Refund Policy
All sales are final since each order is a custom product. No refunds are given once BigFamilyPhotos.com begins working on your order, which means BigFamilyPhotos.com has received the required content and payment to complete your job; however, if we verify that we made an error, we will re-run your order. You must notify us within 24 hours from delivery about any defects. In order to receive the replacement, you must return 100% of the defective order.
In some cases, a partial or full refund may be extended to the customer if no work has been completed by BigFamilyPhotos.com for a specific order.
Each order made using BigFamilyPhotos.com is a contract between you, as the customer making the order, and BigFamilyPhotos.com . The fact that you have made an order on behalf of a third party does not absolve you of liability to BigFamilyPhotos.com . As such, any decision by the third party not to accept the particular items printed or to cancel the order you have placed on their behalf does not affect your liability to BigFamilyPhotos.com.
BigFamilyPhotos.com charges sales tax to orders received from within the state of Utah.
Submission Process
Please be careful when submitting a project to BigFamilyPhotos.com. You are responsible to ensure the artwork is formatted as you desire as part of the ordering process. There is no additional approval process, so please use the online system to check for layout, bleeds, crops and possible image issues.
Once a project is submitted we do not allow changes to artwork, job characteristics, or turnaround time.
Color Accuracy
BigFamilyPhotos.com will reproduce color from submitted print-ready files as closely as possible, but cannot guarantee an exact match color and density because of inherent limitations with the printing process. By placing and order with BigFamilyPhotos.com you agree to this limitation. We will try our best to match the gradient density of each color, but we accept no responsibility for color variations between submitted files and the final printed piece. Under no circumstances will a reprint be honored for color variations that have occurred during the printing process. We are not liable for color matching or ink density.
No Liability for Errors
BigFamilyPhotos.com is not liable for errors in a final product caused by any of the following reasons:
Misspelling, Graphics, Bleeds, Grammar, Punctuation, Wrong cuts, Die Lines, Crop Marks, Transparency, Overprint, Finished Product Size. BigFamilyPhotos.com does not make any changes on customer files.
Artwork Files
Our prepress department checks all submitted artwork files before printing, but you are still 100% responsible for the accuracy of your print-ready artwork files, and we encourage you to proofread all files carefully before submitting to BigFamilyPhotos.com. BigFamilyPhotos.com is not responsible for any issues as to orientation or alignment of the pages of your submitted documents. By submitting the artwork to BigFamilyPhotos.com , 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: offensive, indecent or improper 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. We will refuse an order, which in our opinion may be illegal in nature or an infringement on the rights of any third party. You accept full legal liability for the content of material processed and printed on your behalf and under your instructions. We reserve the right to refuse an order without disclosing a reason.
Printing Turnaround Time
Printing turnaround time begins once your order has been placed.
BigFamilyPhotos.com is committed to a four-day printing turnaround time. For all orders submitted by 5:00 P.M. PST (8:00 P.M. EST), the printing turnaround time begins the next business day.
Please note that BigFamilyPhotos.com is closed Saturdays, Sundays and Holidays. As a result, these days are not considered when calculating printing turnaround time. In addition, while Production Turnaround includes printing and production, it does not include mailing, or shipping transit times. You should allow additional business days for delivery based on the shipping method you selected. The estimated production turnaround advertised on this site is based on the typical number of hours or days that a print job is completed under normal circumstances, excluding Saturdays, Sundays and holidays.
Printing turnaround time is guaranteed. The remedy for failing to meet a deadline is limited to a pro-rated refund of any rush charges or a courtesy rush on your next order. Cancellation of an order based on printing turnaround time is only allowed if the customer indicates in writing (e.g., note posted to order) when placing the original order that a job in the order is time sensitive and must be shipped by target date based on printing turnaround option selected. BigFamilyPhotos.com will not be responsible for shipping-related costs on orders that do not go out by the due date.
Shipping
You need to select one of the shipping options presented to you on the Site. When choosing a shipping option, please remember that the estimated shipping transit time is based on the number of business days in transit and does not include weekends, holidays or the day the package is picked up by the carrier. For instance, a product shipped 2nd Day Air and picked up on a Thursday would be delivered by end of day Monday.
Shipping transit times vary, and BigFamilyPhotos.com 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.
BigFamilyPhotos.com ’s responsibility is limited to preparing your printing order and delivering it to UPS for shipping. BigFamilyPhotos.com is not liable for damages which occur in shipping.
Pick up orders will be kept for 30 days from the delivery of the pick-up notification email. If the order has not been picked up from BigFamilyPhotos.com 's facility within 30 days, it will be shipped directly to the customer and customer will be billed for the applicable ground shipping rates. We cannot ship to P.O. Boxes or APO/FPO.
Target Arrival
Target arrival dates are calculated by adding the printing turnaround time to the shipping transit time. 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 four business days and a shipping method of 2nd Day Air would have a target arrival date six business days after your files have been received by us.
Please understand that target arrival dates are estimates, not guarantees. While we will do everything in our power to meet your target arrival date, weather and other occurrences beyond our control may impact our ability to meet that date.
The customer will defend and hold BigFamilyPhotos.com harmless in any suit or court action brought against BigFamilyPhotos.com by others for alleged damages, costs, expenses (including reasonable attorney's fees), liabilities or losses resulting from circumstances where BigFamilyPhotos.com , acting as the customer's 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 BigFamilyPhotos.com ’s sole judgment is an infringement on a trademark, or trade name, or service mark, or copyright belonging to others, or in a suit or court action brought against BigFamilyPhotos.com for actions of the customer's employees which may occur as a result of any mailing.
Miscellaneous
All complaints must be registered within 24 hours of receipt of your final printing job. Should your job contain manufacturing errors and/or defects (as determined by BigFamilyPhotos.com), BigFamilyPhotos.com would rerun your job at no charge.
All materials we create in producing your printed product are the property of BigFamilyPhotos.com . Although these materials will NOT be sold or given to any other party, we reserve the right to distribute free samples of your printed product.
