  • If the Customer must receive delivery by a specific date, the Customer is responsible for placing the order on time and for charges incurred if the order is refused due to PO expiration.
  • Except for Customers with APO and FPO addresses, orders outside the USA are not accepted. We reserve the right to deny orders for just cause.
  • Orders will be invoiced upon shipping with payment due in 30 days. Accounts 30 days past due will be charged 1.33% interest per month (16% annum) or maximum allowed by law. The Customer is liable for any collection fees incurred. School Mate® College reserves the right to require prepayment. All prices are based on U.S. currency. Customer placing order is responsible for payment.

  • Customer warrants that releases have been obtained to reproduce any copyrighted or trademarked material submitted with order. If Customer furnishes any custom material, the Customer shall defend, indemnify, and hold School Mate® College and its subsidiaries harmless against claims, suits, costs, damages, judgments, attorney fees, license fees, settlements, or expenses incurred, claimed, obtained, or sustained by third parties, whether for intellectual property infringement (including copyright and trademark infringement), dilution, misappropriation, or otherwise, because of the manufacture, use, marketing, or sale of wall calendars. School Mate® College reserves the right to not print anything we consider obscene.
  • The parties agree that the validity, construction, and performance of the order form shall be governed by the laws of the State of Nebraska. The Customer hereby irrevocably submits generally and unconditionally to the jurisdiction of any court of competent jurisdiction in Nebraska for any dispute concerning or related to the order. The Customer further agrees that any action arising from the terms of the order shall be filed exclusively in a court of competent jurisdiction in Nebraska. Customer further consents to venue in Nebraska and waives any rights to challenge venue in Nebraska.
  • For marketing purposes only, School Mate® College reserves the right to display Customer products in its catalogs, website, emails, social media, print materials, video, etc. Customer products remain the property of the Customer and will never be given or resold to another Customer. If a specific item is off-limits, please state so at the time order is placed online in the special instructions.

Proofing

  • As Customer builds his/her wall calendar online, a proof can be reviewed on screen or printed at any time, and changes can be made as needed. Once completed and proof is approved, order must be submitted online.
  • Overlooked errors by the Customer (content, typos, position of items, low resolution, missing material, or any other material inadequately submitted) are considered Customer errors.
  • School Mate® College is not responsible for changes after wall calendars are in process.

Production Time

  • Production begins the day after the complete order is received.
  • Production time is 15 business days (3 weeks) and does not include weekends, holidays, shipping time, or our two-week plant shut-down in late December.
  • Production time is estimated as seasonal demands, shortages, or any other reasonable causes can affect it.
  • Missing/incomplete material, incorrectly made material (items outside margins, low resolution, etc.), or content that may be infringing a copyright or trademark will delay production.
  • Change orders or production halts may incur charges and will cause production delays.

FREE Shipping

  • Production time does NOT include shipping time. Allow 2–8 business days for delivery within the 50 states. For APO and FPO orders, allow approximately 6+ weeks (USPS does not guarantee a service commitment for APO and FPO addresses).

  • Delayed shipping is available (not available for APO and FPO orders). If needed, choose a delay ship date (when ordering online) to ensure someone is available to receive the shipment.
