Note: In the case of full-color process, an ultra-high resolution jpg 600 dpi can be accepted. The way to tell if art is vector is that it maintains crisp, clean lines when zoomed in or out and "highlights" when clicked on.

Any order submitted with incorrect/missing purchase orders, art or preload data will not be accepted or processed and will not be considered a valid order.

Shipping, Delivery and Turnaround Time
AdFlash Promo's turnaround time means the total time beginning with the confirmation of artwork or approval of a pre-production sample, and ending with the delivery of merchandise to the shipper carrier. While AdFlash Promo will use every effort to meet the turnaround time quoted, AdFlash Promo makes no warranty or representation regarding the date of actual delivery of the goods to the Customer. AdFlash Promo shall not be liable or otherwise responsible for any failure on its part to meet or satisfy the turnaround time as noted on the website or specified on Order Confirmation or Agreement, if any. In addition, the standard turnaround times as noted on the website may have to be adjusted due to unforeseen circumstances associated with "custom" manufacturing and shipping. Please inform AdFlash Promo if the merchandise must arrive by a certain date so that extra attention can be given to your delivery requirements. Any delay in returning the approval of virtual proofs, artwork, or the photo/physical samples to AdFlash Promo will affect the delivery schedule of the order and delivery deadlines. The customer is responsible for the additional expense, cost and time resulting from any delays in AdFlash Promo's receipt of their complete approval. AdFlash Promo is not responsible for any delays caused by shipping carriers or customs clearance. Customer is responsible for being available when the order is delivered and AdFlash Promo takes no responsibility for packages left with others or on doorsteps because client was unavailable to take delivery.
Storage Fees
AdFlash Promo reserves the right to apply storage fees for any order unable to ship due to delay by the customer. The storage fees will be calculated based upon the number of days the order is delayed past the original ship date:
• After 1st 30 days: 3% of order total per month ($2 per day minimum)
• After 60 days: 5% of order total per month ($3 per day minimum)
• After 90 days: 7% of order total per month ($4 per day minimum)

Safe Product Commitment
AdFlash Promo is committed to producing and distributing products that are compliant with applicable Product Safety standards established by the Consumer Products Safety Administration (CSPA). Our products utilize many different component and raw materials including copper, brass, iron, zinc alloy, enamels, epoxy, lead, cotton, acetate, nylon, polyester, plastisol inks, PVC (poly vinyl chloride), paper, scents, lead crystal, and batteries.
CPSIA standards apply to products intended for distribution to consumers under the age of 12 years, therefore our products are designed for consumers age 12 years and older. For the protection of both AdFlash Promo and our Distributors we require that we be notified at the time of quotation to the end user if the product is intended for distribution to consumers covered by the CPSIA. We will be pleased to provide custom quotation for these applications. Divergences from our published prices for these applications will include a modest increase in the unit cost as well as costs for the required Product Safety testing. These additional costs will be invoiced to our Distributors on a per order basis. In this way safe products that achieve the goals anticipated by our Distributors and their end user customers will be achieved, avoiding exposure to Product Safety liabilities.
