I also understand that this publishing agreement will be valid for all other works
submitted by me for printing in the future unless otherwise directed.
PA warrants he/she is the owner of the copyright or has the authorization from copyright
holder and has the right to enter into this agreement and authorizes MG to print this work
and all works in the future as outlined below.
SECTION 1.
Initial when applicable:
(1) PA is supplying:
Original
Transparency
Digital File
This original artwork, transparency or digital file will be scanned, inspected and color corrected on a hard disk at the rate of
$50 per hour billable in 1/2 hour increments. FREE scanning will only be applied to an image when that image will be color
corrected and printed within 30 days from when the initial job is taken in. Large Artist Proofs can be purchased only once
for each image. We cannot or will not guarantee that an image can be pre-pressed and completed within a set period of time or
for a flat rate and do the job right.
(2)
PA original, transparency or file is insured for fire, theft and flood while on the premises of MG.
It is not insured for workmanship or shipping. If PA wants to insure original, transparency or file when
shipping to and from MG then PA is responsible for those charges.
(3)
PA will sign a fax or written confirmation of the approved proof. This proof will indicate the artist's
approval and no printing can commence until MG receives this proof of confirmation. This signature approval
will be binding unless an additional or second match proof is signed, dated and received by MG.
Because inks and substrates vary from batch to batch MG can only guarantee MG can come within 90% of
the approved artist proof. Other proofs may be required during the color correction process depending on the complexity of the job.
(4)
PA will be responsible for recolor correcting cost for images that have not been printed within 2 years.
Due to the printing industry is constantly changing with their inks, printers and media.
(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.
Except in cases where pre-approved credit is arranged all printing must be paid 50% in advance and the balance when work is completed.
MG reserves the right for all printing to be paid in advance. Printing of each image shall be billed at the rate below.
Square Inch Pricing: @ $0.11 Per Square Inch (No Minimum)
MG HAS THE RIGHT TO DETERMINE SPECIAL RATES BECAUSE OF COMPLICATIONS OF ORIGINAL ART THAT MAY PRESENT SPECIAL PROBLEMS IN THE
GICLEE PRINTING PROCESS.
(6)
The PA grants MG from time to time to print samples of the work for the purpose of promoting
MG's printing skills to perspective customers of MG, which will be marked as "Sample" or to print
printers proofs for the purpose of comparing print quality for future printing. These prints cannot be sold
for any reason whatsoever by MG.
(7)
Upon your request we can make a duplication of your image that is suitable for advertising and promotion of your image
at your request for $15 per image and $3 for the CD. When the edition is completed we will at your request destroy
the hard disk master in our file. If for any reason the PA decides to stop printing with MG, MG
will--if requested in writing--destroy the hard disk. Otherwise MG will keep this hard disk on file.
(8)
PA and MG agree that a faxed counterpart of this printing agreement evidencing the signature of
PA shall be effective as an original signature for all purposes of this agreement.
(9)
MG reserves the rights to change this "printer's agreement" and the rates it charges with notification.
SECTION 2.
RETURN POLICY... Maui Giclée is continually striving to improve the quality and life of our printing and
indeed has 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 giclee print should last thirty years or more. However,
displayed under intense art gallery light conditions of sometimes 6000 lumens or more or in direct sunlight,
any print will fade, be it a giclée print, a serigraph, a lithograph, or even an original.
Therefore MG 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 not been treated with our coatings or prints that have been
embellished by the PA, or treated with additional coatings by the PA. (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 have 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 inch in diameter or printing spit-ups smaller than 1/8 inch in diameter.
The PA has read this return policy and understands it. PA must sign this printing agreement before any work
is done and agrees with the terms of this printing agreement.
