Terms & Conditions
We encourage you to read these terms before placing your order. By submitting an order to Bargainmugs.com, you agree to the terms and conditions set forth below.
Before Printing - See What Your Artwork Will Look Like
Rest assured we do not print your artwork until you see a virtual proof which we will automatically send to you before your order is printed. This proof enables you to view the exact imprint and make any necessary changes. Should you need to make such changes we will provide you with one more free proof. To help eliminate errors, we will not begin printing on your item before you have approved the proof.
Confirmation
Upon placing your order you will receive an email confirmation. Within approximately 48 hours you will receive an email proof clearly showing the imprint on the specific item ordered. Please go over this proof very carefully to ensure that the imprint is correct. Once you have approved the proof we cannot be held liable for any errors in the imprint.
Online Order Credit card charge
Please press the 'SUBMIT' button only once, if you press it multiple times your credit card may be charged multiple times. In such event please contact our customer service. Once we have verified that a duplicate charge has occurred we will refund the charge promptly.
Artwork and Guidelines for submitting artwork
Please submit all information for your imprint instructions at time of order placement. You can choose to upload your art files and submit your art instructions along with your order or you can email us your art files and instructions to art@bargainmugs.com. Remember that which ever method you choose we will email a proof for approval before we begin production.
We strongly suggest that when uploading your own art files that they are "camera ready" high resolution files. As to provide the best quality imprint, an absolute minimum of 300 dpi at 100% size is needed but 600 dpi is preferred. An additional charge may be added to your order depending on the time needed to make your artwork 'printready'. Our customer service will contact you prior to incurring such charge. Note that the added work involved in cleaning up any artwork will also add to production time.
Accepted Formats
An editable version of all files including linked and placed images must be submitted. Convert all fonts to outlines or include all screen and printer fonts. Compressed files must be self-extracting, although compression is not recommended. Please send digital files no less than 300 dpi at 100%, higher resolution is strongly recommend for a better imprint.

- Adobe Photoshop (.psd)
- EPS (.eps)
- Adobe PDF (.pdf)

Customers will assume complete responsibility to obtain permission for reproduction of logos, patents, trademarks and copyrights. By agreeing to print any submitted artwork, Bargainmugs.com will not be held liable under any circumstances
Proofing
You will receive a free emailed Proof. This proof enables you to view the exact imprint and make any necessary changes. Should you make such changes we will provide one more free proof. Additional proofs and art prep work after the second proof is billed at $15.00 per proof and $40.00 per hour for artwork clean-up. Colors shown may not accurately depict the finished product, this is due to different calibrations of each individual computer screen and/or printer. All of our products have imprint area information listed under the "Product Description" tab, please note that the measurement listed for wrap on products without a handle is not equal to the circumference of the item. The proof must be approved by you before production begins.
Color Matching
Pantone colors are established for printing on paper and used as a reference only. Due to the nature of ceramic ink, a 100% match cannot be guaranteed. Color matches may vary from previously accepted pre-production samples, speculative samples, color samples or order runs. Some purple colors can have a slight translucent look when printed on glassware.
Normal Production Time
The estimated normal production time is 5-10 business days after receipt of order and approval of the digital E-Proof. This timeline is also dependent upon the size of the order and/or the complexity of the artwork or process employed. If you have a specific "in-hands" date, please ensure that there is adequate time before you opt for a normal production timeline. Please remember that delivery time is the total of both proofing time, production time and shipping time.
Shipping
F.O.B. Shipping Point factory Under the terms of "FOB shipping point", title of the goods passes to the buyer at the shipping point. If the order is being shipped via UPS, you will receive an email from UPS with tracking number and delivery information.
Certain addresses are not serviced by UPS (such as APO and PO boxes), in case you enter an address that UPS does not service we will contact you for alternative shipping methods and additional charges may be added to your order.

Handling Recommendations
All glassware, ceramic and porcelain are Kiln-fired at up to 1200°F. The imprints are long-lasting and safe with reasonable home or office use. Please avoid the use of commercial detergents and abrasive cleaners which can damage any imprint. All plastic and sportbottles should only be handwashed. Products are not intended for use in restaurant environments.
Color Registration
Where 2 or more colors are close together there is the possibility of misregistration of approx. 1/32" of each color in any direction.
Ceramic, Porcelain and Glassware
All mugs are finished by hand and the color shade and glaze (including the inside glaze color) may vary within the same order or from previously accepted random sample, order run, pre-production sample or speculative sample. Slight imperfections, minor indentations (pinholes and/or dark dots), unevenness in the glaze and variations in height and diameter must be accepted and are within the industry standard. All our Glassware comes from the world leaders in glass manufacturing, yet small imperfections such as small air bubbles or settle lines can occur in glassware as a result from liquid glass flow. Capacities listed for ware, are approximate and may vary from lot to lot or within the same order. Per industry standards capacities are measured to point of overflow. Some glassware styles have seams as a result of the manufacturing process. Any of these imperfections are within industry standards and not considered defects or seconds.
Claims and Redos
Please check your order immediately upon receipt. All claims must be reported within 7 calendar days upon receipt of goods. All claims will be confirmed via email. We may request pictures to be emailed or an actual sample made available for our inspection. Once we have evaluated the claim we will promptly credit or replace the product if mandated. We will not change the product, the logo or artwork or the imprint color when processing the redo.

Please place the order through the shopping cart and write "Exact repeat order" along with the previous order number in the special instruction field and we will refund the setup discount to your credit card.
Please note that we do not keep actual samples of orders when they ship. When printing a reorder the imprint's location on the item can possibly vary slightly from previous order run(s). If your design on the previous order had specific requirements for placement, such as pour lines or location within the imprint area, make sure to include those detailed instructions when submitting your order through our checkout process.
