| |
| (2)_____AP original, transparency or file is insured for fire, theft and flood while on the premises of PAS by AP. It is not insured for workmanship or shipping.

AP is also responsible for any scanning and shipping charges if the piece needs to be sent out for photography and drum scanning. |
| |
| (4)_____AP will sign the final proof as confirmation of approving the proof. This proof will indicate the artists approval and no printing can commence until PAS received the signed proof as confirmation. Because inks and substrates vary from batch to batch, PAS can only guarantee PAS can come within 90% of the approved artist proof. Other proofs may be required durring the color correction process depending on the complexity of the job. |
| |
| (5)_____All printing will be billed at the below quoted rate. A $250 deposit is required for all pre-press work before starting the order.

| SECTION 2 |
| |
| RETURN POLICY ... Pro ART Source is continually striving to improve the quality and life of our printing and indeed ans come a long way. Original art and prints fade depending on where they are displayed. Under normal lighting conditions in a home or office at about 450 lumens, a giclée print should last fifty years or more. However,displayed under intense art gallery light conditions or sometimes 6000 lumens or more in direct sunlight, any print will fade, be it a giclée print, a serigraph, a lithograph, or even an original (especially watercolors). Therefore Pro ART Source will not be responsible for any returns with prints displayed under abnormal lighting conditions. |
| |
| We will also not be responsible for (1), Any prints that have been embellished in any way by the AP, or treated with unrecommended coatings by the AP or framer. (PAS recommends "Clear Jet", and only after stretching.) (2), We will not be responsible for any prints damaged by the framer or prints that have been abused during the framing process. (3), We will not accept any prints that have been scratched or abused after they left our shop. (4), Any prints that come in contact with cleaning fluids or other liquid substances and (5), Prints with dust spots or natural blemish characteristics of the canvas smaller than 1/8" in diameter or printing spit-ups smaller than 1/8" in diameter. (Note: Canvas prints can not be coated prior to stretching due to the fact that PAS cannot guarantee that all framers are experienced enough with giclées to know how to properly stetch coated canvas. Therefore, PAS does not coat unstretched pieces. That will be the responsibility of framer or AP and should not be done until after stretching.) |
| |
| The AP has read this return policy and understands it. AP must sign this printing agreement before any work is done and agrees to the terms of this printing agreement. |
