Limitations
Large orders may require additional

right to refuse any order.
TERMS & CONDITIONS
General Terms & Conditions
JournalBooks ® and Timeplanner ® Calendars,
Inc. (“factory”) reserves the
right to withdraw any item and to
change services, decoration methods,
or prices without prior notice.
Acceptance of Order
All orders are subject to acceptance by
the factory, which reserves the right to
refuse any order. All orders subject to
credit approval and acceptance. A prepayment
amount or other security deposit
or both may be required based on
the cost and size of the order.
Production Ready
An order is considered “production
ready” when all elements required by
the factory to produce and ship your
order are received. Incomplete orders
(i.e., orders awaiting imprint copy, cover
colors, final quantities, etc.) are held
out of production until required items
are received by the factory. After all
information is received, your order will
be processed in our normal production
time unless otherwise specified.
Overruns and Underruns
Due to the custom nature of our products,
overs and unders are normal and
in accordance with printing trade customs.
For journals or calendars requiring
only cover imprints, a variance of
5% over or under the quantity ordered
is to be expected. For orders requiring
custom overprinting of filler pages,
calendar pages, and for pictorial calendars,
expect a variance of 5%-10%.
Overs are more likely than unders. The
factory strives to ship at least the
quantity ordered. In order to do so, the
factory must start production with sufficient
additional materials to allow for
spoilage losses (in printing, cutting,
punching, binding, stamping, & packing).
After inspection, if production has
been reasonably efficient, there should
be more good books than ordered. Orders
that state “ship no overruns” are
subject to underruns and accepted
only with that understanding. In this
case, factory will not go back to production
to meet exact quantities.
Order Acknowledgments
An acknowledgment will be sent via e-
mail when the order is factory ready.
This will reflect costs of the products,
options that have been selected, as
well as estimated die and art charges.
Please read the acknowledgment carefully
to ensure that your instructions
have been followed and that you are in
agreement with the pricing. The factory
requires you to sign and return the
acknowledgment within 24 hours in
order to maintain your production
schedule.
Cancellations
Orders will be subject to all production
costs incurred to date (including materials
and labor) and/or a cancellation
charge of $62.50 G.
Standard Production Time
Most orders take approximately 5-10
working days after production-ready
order or proof approval has been received.
Your order will not be processed
until ALL required art and information
have been received. Additional
time may be required for large quantities
and more complex orders requiring
customized dies, custom filler,
screen printing, tabs, perforation, or
multi-color imprinting. Please call the
factory for estimated time on custom
orders. Factory will state an estimated
e-proof date and ship date on your order
acknowledgment.
Features such as elastic band closures,
ribbons, vinyl pockets, or business card
pockets may require additional time
due to special material ordering. Please
call factory prior to ordering for inventory
and production schedule.
Rush Service
Rush service is available for most journal
products. Basic one-color foil-imprinted
journals (falling outside Sure-
Ship, ValueLine, EasyOption, and
Express categories) can be produced
in 5-7 business days from proof approval
or in 5 days from proof approval
with a 20% rush fee added to the unit
price. Minimum rush fee is $75 G. Failure
to approve your paper proof within
24 hours WILL delay your production
schedule. To minimize delays, please
provide factory-ready art that does not
need a proof for the 5-day rush service.
For 5-day service, order must be
received by 1pm EST for the current
day to count. Foil matching, custom
filler, multiple color imprints, ColorDirect,
die-cutting, tabbed and/or perforated
inserts, and screen printing are
not included in this service. Other
products may be rushed; however,
rush fees will differ and will be based on
the factory’s ability to produce in the
allotted time frame and within the current
production schedule. Please call
the factory with your special needs. We
will work with you to do whatever we
can to accommodate your needs and
meet your event date.
