Terms of Service

eCard Systems makes every effort to catch artwork errors prior to production but cannot be responsible for proofs approved for production that contain errors. The design will be printed as it appears in the proof provided. It is the sole responsibility of the customer to ensure that all materials submitted for printing are correct.

Printing errors attributed to the customer are not subject to free reprint. Depending on size of order, customer may correct the problem and reprint the order at up to 50% of the cost of the original order. Reprint cost will be quoted on a case by case basis. Material errors caused by eCard Systems will be reprinted and shipped free of charge.

eCard Systems accepts no liability for materials submitted by customer that are subject to copyright or trademark protections or that are otherwise in violation of the law. eCard Systems will not be held accountable for possession of such materials or illegal use of materials in connection with www.ecardsystems.com. Violation of these terms of service will indemnify eCard Systems against any legal action.

Refused or undeliverable orders are not a valid reason for reprint or refund and reshipment of the order will be at the customer’s expense.

eCard Systems does not guarantee delivery times for basic ground shipping. Depending on the shipping destination, ground delivery ranges from 2 to 6 days. Buyer assumes full risk of possible delivery delays.

Packages located by shipper will be rerouted to the customer promptly upon discovery. Shipper requires a 10 business day window for refund of shipping costs.

Packages shipped outside of the United States may be charged a duty based on the receiving country’s import tax. eCard Systems is not responsible for the payment of this fee.
