COLOR MATCHING POLICY
There is a 3% - 5% variance in color tones from
one print job to the next, even when ordering the same template.
Factory inks and toners vary from print job to print job and
there is a difference between what your monitor thinks is blue
for instance, and what our monitor thinks is blue. If
strict color matching is crucial, there are two steps you can
request.
Pantone Matching
This is not the most sure way, but it is
certainly a lot more certain than proofing from your monitor
alone. We will sit-down and match the colors you want with
the actual numbers in the Pantone book.
Printed Proofs
The most accurate method is to order a printed proof. The
cost varies from template to template and time delays are to be
expected waiting for priority mail. However, if color
perfection is that critical, let us know so we can look into
getting you printed proofs.
Note:
Less than 1 out of 100 customers ever order a printed proof and
less than 3 out of a 100 ever complain about the color or the
print job.
ORDERING & PAYMENT
Clients
interested in placing an order can call or email us to get
pricing or help in determining their needs. Once we help
you determine your order, we will send you an invoice.
Payment must be received prior to working on your designs and/or
printing your order. We accept cash, check (payable to
RightPros)Visa or MasterCard payments.
FREE DESIGN POLICY
We will attempt to do our best to follow the instructions
provided to us, or when instructions are limited or unavailable,
to come up with a simple design that will adequately serve your
purposes. However, our free design services are not meant
to replace or contend with the results we are able to deliver
through our paid design services.
The reason for this simply comes down to time and effort.
With our free design services, we are only able to spend a
limited amount of time on the initial submission and theres
only an additional free submission attempt. In contrast,
our paid design approach offers more time and creativity towards
the initial submission as well as allows for more trial and
effort towards the development process. Choosing the right
service just depends on what you are looking for.
Simple design approach
Initial design submission, unlimited change requests in a
single reply and final submission
Additional submissions cost $15 each
Intellectual property remains with RightPros except for
designs submitted to us by the client
PAID DESIGN POLICY
As with our free design policy, we will attempt to do our best
to follow the instructions provided to us in order to come up
with a design that will more than adequately serve your
purposes. When instructions are limited or unavailable, we
will do our best to add creativity in our design approach, while
remaining within the goals of the project. However, we can spend
more time on additional submissions to get the design looking
Creative design approach
Multiple submissions
(see Design Submission Attempts Policy below)
Additional submissions cost 25% of template design price
Intellectual property on designs (final approved
designs only) are released to the client, RightPros
retains rights to advertise as samples only.
DESIGN SUBMISSION ATTEMPTS
Our "Trial & Error" Commitment
Our paid design prices are based on providing you the
following design effort towards arriving at the approved final
design. This applies to any paid design (logo, business
card, website, etc.). The following doesnt apply to
hourly paying clients.
Initial Design Submission:
After the initial design direction interview and all information
has been gathered about yourself, your company, your goals, your
specifications, etc., we will design the first submission.
You may request an unlimited amount of changes within a single
proof response. For example, you can list 100 items you
want changed, but you cannot send us 100 separate email
requests. Whatever you miss you can get on the following
submission.
2nd Submission:
After listening to your feedback from the first submission (and
applying whatever changes), we will send you another submission.
Again, you may make an unlimited amount of change requests
within a single proof response.
3rd Submission:
After listening to your feedback from the second submission (and
applying whatever changes), we will send you another submission.
Again, you may make an unlimited amount of change requests
within a single proof response.
Final Submission:
Once we send you the final submission, if any additional
submissions are required they will cost 50% of the initial
project price (prorated per template if within a package).
If the changes are minor and/or do not require what amounts to
an entirely different design, we may forgo any additional
charges.
Note:
Since we started in 2005, we have yet to charge a client for
extended submissions.
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY POLICY
Custom Templates - RightPros licenses clients to use
designs only within the template they were created for.
For example, a client cannot take a design or concept created
for a business card and use it to become their company branding
or go to another company to make a matching car magnet... they
can only print business cards. This policy does not
include templates we designed using the clients existing
branding or when we are following the creative instructions of
our client (verses creating the ideas ourselves)
Logos & Branding - RightPros releases full intellectual
property rights (except for our own right to show examples of
our work for our own promotional purposes) to the clients that
hire us to develop their logos and/or branding. This
includes any or all matching collateral that we design for them
as well. However, this policy only extends to final
designs and not rejected concepts. RightPros retains full
intellectual property rights on anything we designed and was
passed on by the client.
Stock Photos & Images - RightPros occasionally uses stock
photos and images in the designs we create for our clients, but
never products intended for resale. We purchase a limited
license for photos from a 3rd party (usually BigStockPhoto.com)
and such photos cannot be used in products intended for resale
without purchasing an extended license. So, before you
take our designs and go making t-shirts and mugs to be sold at
the swap meet, please check with us first.
REFUND POLICY
We cannot give refunds on the time we spend creating artwork for
proofs. Those that have worked with us before do not voice
an issue with this policy. However, if you are concerned
about paying before seeing the finished design, we can only ask
you to consider our style of design and determine if we are up
to par with your expectations. If not, consider our
satisfaction guarantee.
SATISFACTION GUARANTEE
If we do not completely satisfy you with our prompt and personal
service throughout the design process and/or the quality of the
finished result, we will credit you the amount you paid for your
design on your next print order. Even if you go to another
designer for the template we are printing!
DELAYED PROJECT PENALTY POLICY
Our prices are based on the understanding that we will be
allowed to complete the order in a reasonable amount of time.
When clients prevent us from being able to complete the project
in a timely manner, we incur costs and difficulties that are not
part of our commitment. Delayed projects force us to work
on past projects within schedules committed to new projects.
This results in over-time and diminishes our overall ability to
deliver quality.
Clients can cause delays by one or more of the following
ways:
Failing to submit required payment, materials or information
Not responding to proof requests or requests for feedback
A general disinterest in the status or progress of the project
(for whatever reason)
The Estimation of Completion Date -
For every project we provide a Estimated Completion Date (ECD).
If one is not supplied on our invoice, the ECD automatically
defaults to 30 days. We give a grace period of an addition
two weeks past the ECD (default or stated). Delayed
Project Fees begin accumulating the first day after the two week
grace period.
Delayed Project Fees -
The Delay Project Fee (DPF) is a daily fee based on the project
price divided by the days within the ECD.
