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.

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.

Proofing

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.

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.

The estimated normal production time is 5-7 business days after receipt of order. 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.

The estimated normal production time is 5-7 business days after electronic proof approval for the sample (plus shipping time) Full order production time is 9-12 days after approval of sample (plus shipping time).
