Terms and Conditions

Payment Policy

Payment MUST be made in full before Empire Invites can create and proof your design.

CASH PAYMENTS: Can slow down the Proof/delivery times as your card will not be created by our team until payment is delivered

PAYPAL/CREDIT CARD PAYMENTS: Are received instantly and your proof will be created according to our delivery timeline schedule

Proofing and Delivery time

Once your design is created, a proof of your card will be sent via email for acceptance, before being printed. Up to 3 free re-proof changes are allowed on each ordered design. If a customer has made 3 changes and requires more, they must purchase additional changes at $15 each HERE. Any delays in a customer viewing or accepting their proof will in turn delay the delivery time of the order. See delivery timeline schedule

Changes to Customer’s Order

Changes to customer’s quantity, graphic design components, fonts, wording, etc… can be made during the proof process. Once the customer approves their proof, the product is ordered and is no longer eligible for changes.

Customer Approval

We trust our customers to make sure that their spelling, grammar, colors, and all other printed content is correct in the proofs they receive. Customers are responsible for reporting all necessary corrections before indicating their approval to send the job to production. Empire Photography cannot be held liable in any way for errors in spelling, grammar, color and all other printed content once the proof has been approved by customer. Customers are obligated to pay all original and additional costs in the event that an order needs to be reprinted due to errors that existed in an approved proof.

Cancellations, Returns and Refunds

Cancellations made before a proof is started are subject to an administration fee of $60.
Cancellations made during the proofing process will be subject to an administration/design fee of $160.00.
Orders cancelled after proof approval have already been printed and therefore cannot receive a refund.

Custom Design Fees

For custom designs, the custom design fee is charged when a customer commissions Empire Photography to create a completely unique piece (i.e. not a products from our Signature Collections). Design fees vary from $75 for a basic design to $275 or more for complex design work. Fees charged for custom work are fully non-refundable.

Satisfaction

We cannot honor requests to repair or replace damaged goods if the request is submitted more than fourteen (14) days after the order is shipped.
