Terms and Conditions – Trade Show House

Terms and Conditions

All users of this site agree that access to and use of this site is subject to the following terms and conditions and other applicable law. If you do not agree to these terms and conditions, please do not use this site.

Production Schedule

Production time starts the first working day after artwork is approved for printing, not including shipping transit time. Normal turnaround for most portable display products is three (3) to ten (10) business days unless otherwise stated on the product page. Orders with less than a three (3) business day turnaround will incur a rush service charge.

Rush Orders

As of January 2017, a rush fee of 20% is applied to all orders that require rush production on all products from Trade Show House. Rush fees are non-refundable. For rush jobs where Trade Show House has only one chance to fully produce the graphics, the graphics will not be guaranteed. Should your graphics have a defect we will happily reprint the defective graphic/panel after your show at 50% of the standard price.

Printed Graphics

We appreciate your cooperation by giving us as much time as possible to produce your printed graphics. In the event your project finishes early, it will ship via the scheduled method.

Once your graphics have been received by our Graphics Department, we will review your artwork files to ensure that your artwork meets the requirements outlined in our specifications to produce the highest quality product. If any modifications or a change to the artwork needs to be made, you will be notified, and you will have the opportunity to submit new artwork with the necessary changes. If you prefer to have our Graphics Department make the necessary changes, you will be billed at a rate of $100.00 per hour, with a minimum 1 (one) hour design time.

Once our Graphics Department has reviewed and approved your artwork, you will receive a PDF proof via email. You will receive the proof within one (1) business day of submitting acceptable artwork to us. You must send back an approval e-mail before your job is moved into production. Production time starts the first working day after approval email is received and acknowledged. PLEASE NOTE: An e-proof is only to ensure proper art elements are there and size is correct. It does not ensure proper resolution or color accuracy. If you need a hard-proof for color accuracy, a $100.00 fee will apply. Please contact us for this request.

Once your approval has been received, the printing process will take three (3) to ten (10) business days; depending on the project. Please note that these production lead times are from the date of approval, not from the date that the artwork was received or order was placed. If you have purchased graphics that are less than our standard lead-time, then rush fees will apply. If you purchased graphics with ground shipping and less than standard lead-time one of our sales associates will contact you.

Color Matching

Trade Show House offers PMS color matching at a rate of $50 per PMS color. \We print digitally in CMYK on coated and uncoated materials and use PMS colors as a guide; therefore the colors are not guaranteed to be exact. We highly recommend that you order a printed proof, in the event that you do not, we will match as close as possible to the PMS colors proved, but are not responsible for the colors not printed to your liking. The customer will be responsible for the shipping costs on printed proofs. Your submitted files should be fully approved and print ready; Trade Show House is not liable for the accuracy of any “pre-designed artwork” submitted by client.

  • When reordering, colors MAY be slightly different then original order due to ink formulations and different material lots from the manufacturer.
  • If files are submitted and do not meet our bleed specifications, Trade Show House reserves the right to add a border to the file(s).
  • If files are submitted in RGB mode, you are authorizing Trade Show House to convert the file(s) to CMYK mode. (converting files from RGB to CMYK will cause color shifting)
  • • We will only accept files emailed to Trade Show House or uploaded through our website.

Errors

In the event that an error is discovered in the Client's job after printing, Client bares sole financial responsibility and must pay in full for the job. Client agrees that, in the event Trade Show House is liable for an error in quality of print in the Client’s artwork, liability shall be limited to a re-print of the client's job no later than one (1) week after submission of claim by Client. To qualify for a re-print, client must submit a claim in writing or email to Trade Show House within three (3) business days of receipt of the job. In no event will Trade Show House be liable for any damages beyond those set forth in this paragraph, or for any general, consequential or special damages that are claimed to follow by reason of the error.

Shipping Methods

Trade Show House uses UPS and Fedex for order shipments. A street address is required on all product orders. We cannot deliver product orders to P.O. Boxes. Please note that production time does not include transit time.

Time Critical Orders

Customers with firm event dates must indicate those dates when ordering online. Please enter your in-hand date in the order notes field when placing your order.

Trade Show House reserves the right to change carriers at its sole discretion.

Shipping Damage

The arrival of a product damaged during shipping is a ‘non-warranty issue’ and claims must be reported to the customer service department within three (3) business days of receipt. When submitting a shipping damage claim, we may require digital photos to document the damage to the shipping container or product. Please be sure to sign for packages as “damaged”. If your product arrives damaged due to a shipping company's mishandling, your shipment is insured by that carrier and we will do our best to expedite the claim and rectify the situation. While we will strive to help our clients in any way possible, we do not necessarily accept any expedited shipping charges incurred in shipping out replacement products or repairs.

Missing Parts

You have five (5) business days after receiving your order to make any claims on missing items. Please verify items shipped against the packing list immediately upon receiving your shipments to ensure accuracy. If you suspect that the delivery is incorrect or missing parts, please contact our customer service department immediately.

Carrier Delays

At Trade Show House, we pride ourselves on our quality and production processes to ensure orders are produced and shipped on time. Unfortunately, we have no control over delivery of orders once they leave our production facilities. Once an order is picked up, the responsibility for timely delivery falls on the carrier. Trade Show House will not be held liable for missed event dates due to carrier delay issues. 

Return Policy

All return requests are subject to a 5% return fee. Customer is responsible for all return shipping costs and subject to a 15% restocking fee.
