We shall have the right to refuse or cancel any such orders whether or not the order has been confirmed and your credit or debit card charged.

Printing Services, User Generated Content, and Submissions

As part of these Services, we may offers a service that allows you to upload images, photographs, graphic designs, and other content (collectively, “User Generated Content”) to the Website to create, produce, and purchase Products featuring the uploaded Content for your own use (“Printing Service”).

If you wish to use the Printing Service, you will upload or deliver to us all User Generated Content that you want to use with the service in accordance with the applicable instructions on the Website. We may, in our sole and exclusive discretion, determine whether any User Generated Content complies with such instructions and is satisfactory for use with the Printing Service.

You will retain ownership of the User Generated Content that you upload to the Website. You hereby grant to us a royalty-free, worldwide, transferable, non-exclusive, sublicensable, right and license to use such User Generated Content, in all media existing now or created in the future, as we deem necessary to enable you to fully use the Printing Service and for us to provide the Printing Service. We may sublicense the rights that you grant to us in this Section to a third party subcontractor for any appropriate purpose including, but not limited to, providing the Printing Service, processing your order, and producing and shipping your Products.

As a part of our Services, you may have the option of creating a gallery of your User Generated Content (“Gallery”). You are responsible for all the content in your Gallery. You understand and agree that we shall not be liable for any access to, use of or disclosure of any User Generated Content, including images, comments or other content in your Gallery. We may require you to change the URL for your Gallery.

You agree not to provide any User Generated Content, comments, ideas, suggestions, information, files, videos, images, or other materials that (i) is defamatory, abusive, libelous, unlawful, obscene, threatening, harassing, fraudulent, pornographic, or harmful, or that could encourage criminal or unethical behavior, (ii) violates or infringes the privacy, copyright, trademark, trade dress, trade secrets, or intellectual property rights of any person or entity, or (iii) contains or transmits a virus or any other harmful component. You represent and warrant to us that you have the legal right and authorization to provide all User Generated Content, comments, ideas, suggestions, information, files, videos, images, and any other materials to us for the purpose and use as set forth herein. You agree not to contact other users of the Website through unsolicited e-mail, telephone calls, mailings, or any other method of communication.

You grant Circle Graphics the right to use the name that you submit in connection with any User Generated Content. You agree not to use a false email address, impersonate any person or entity, or otherwise mislead as to the origin of any User Generated Content. You are and shall remain solely responsible for the content of any User Generated Content you make. Circle Graphics and its affiliates take no responsibility and assume no liability for any User Generated Content submitted by you or any third party.

All brand, product, and service names used on the Website which identify us or other third parties and their products are the proprietary marks of Circle Graphics and/or the relevant third parties. Nothing in these Terms shall be deemed to confer on any person any license or right on the part of Circle Graphics or any third party with respect to any such image, logo, or name. You shall not make any use of any Circle Graphics trademarks, logos, or trade dress without our prior express and written approval.

All User Generated Content and other materials are subject to review and examination by us. Any and all images are subject to all applicable laws, and any perceived violations of law will be reported by us to the applicable law enforcement authorities. We reserve the right in our sole and absolute discretion to refuse to process or post any User Generated Content and other materials that we deem objectionable.

When you submit questions, comments, suggestions, ideas, message board postings, material submitted via web forms, contest entries, communications, or any other information (“Submissions”), you grant us permission to use such Submissions for marketing and other promotional purposes, including the right to sublicense. You agree that we will have no obligation to keep any Submissions confidential. You will not bring a claim against us based on “moral rights” or the like arising from our use of a Submission.

Professional accounts

Accessing some of our Services may require subscribing to a professional account. By subscribing to a professional account, you agree to pay the subscription fee identified at the time you subscribe. Your subscription will remain in effect from the date on which you subscribe until the end of the subscription period you have selected. Your subscription will renew automatically at the end of the subscription period, unless you cancel it before the end of your current subscription period. Subscription periods may be either month to month or for longer periods of time.

We reserve the right at any time to change the subscription fee for the professional account or delete your account for any or no reason. In no event will you be charged any new or different fee unless we obtain your prior agreement to pay such fee. If you do not consent to such fee, however, you will no longer receive the professional account.

You may cancel your subscription for a professional account at any time. If you do cancel, you will not receive a refund of your subscription fee for the current subscription period (but you will continue to have access to the professional account for the remainder of your subscription period). If you would like to renew your subscription after cancellation, you will need to subscribe again after the original expiration date of your subscription.

Except as provided below, we will not refund any fees paid for subscription to a professional account. It is your responsibility to determine if the professional account meets your needs before you subscribe.

We may elect, in our sole discretion, to terminate the professional account Service. If we do, we will refund to you a pro rata portion (based on the time remaining in your subscription period) of your subscription fee for the period in which such termination occurs. The foregoing applies only to circumstances in which we terminate the professional account Service for all of our registered members and shall not entitle you to a refund if we terminate your individual access to the professional account Service because you have failed to comply with any of these Terms.

Payment of Earnings

By using our Services, you may generate earnings as described on our Website (“Earnings”). In order to receive your Earnings you must provide your taxpayer information to us as required by the IRS. If we do not have your current taxpayer information on file for a particular year, payments due to you under this Agreement will not be made until December 31st of that year, and all of such payments will be subject to a 30% backup withholding which will be submitted to the IRS.

If you have Earnings, we will pay your Earnings on a monthly basis. Within 45 calendar days following the end of each calendar month, we will send you a check for Earnings you have earned for the relevant month. However, if the Earnings payable to you for any month are less than $50.00, we will hold your Earnings until the total amount due is at least $50.00 or until this Agreement is terminated.

If you accrue Earnings that are less than $50.00 for at least 365 days, we may send you payment of such accrued Earnings minus a $5 processing fee. If the amount of accrued Earnings is under $5 for at least 365 days, such amount will be used to cover our administrative costs and no payment shall be made to you.

If your account is terminated and you have less than $50 in accrued but unpaid Earnings then outstanding, we may charge you a $5 processing fee when sending you your final payment to cover its administrative costs.

We reserve the right, but do not assume the obligation, to monitor transactions and communications that occur through the Website. If we determine, in our sole and absolute discretion, that you or another user will breach these Terms or that such transaction or communication is inappropriate, we may cancel such transaction or take any other action to we deem necessary, without any liability to you or any third party.

All aspects of the relationship between you and any third party shall be solely between you and that third party. We do not and shall not have any direct dealings or contractual relationship with any third party.

Price Disclosure

The full list price is a price at which we have offered the product for sale; however, we may not have sold the item at that price. A strike-through price is a comparison price based on a product’s full list price or the price at which another retailer offers the same item (although we cannot know whether another retailer actually sold the item at the offered price).

Shipping

All items purchased through this Website are made pursuant to a shipment contract. Title and risk of loss for all products ordered by you shall pass to you on our shipment to the shipping carrier. We reserve the right to ship partial orders.

For shipments to Canada, you authorize UPS Canada as chosen by Circle Graphics to act as your agent and to transact business with the Canada Border Services Agency (“CBSA”) to clear any merchandise, account for duties and taxes, return merchandise, and prepare and submit refund claims on your behalf for any merchandise that is returned. You acknowledge and agree that the CBSA shall send any refund of duties and taxes that were paid on the returned merchandise to the broker, and that you will obtain the refund directly from Circle Graphics. You authorize the custom broker to endorse any refund check issued by the CBSA in your name, so that Circle Graphics may be reimbursed.

Any and all products available for purchase or license on the Website are subject to the export control laws and regulations of the United States and any other countries, as applicable. In purchasing any of the products, you agree not to dispose through export, re-export, trans-shipment, or otherwise, of any product purchased or licensed from or through Circle Graphics, except in accordance with all applicable export control laws and regulations.

Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold us, Circle Graphics, and our representatives, agents, affiliates, directors, officers, managers, and shareholders (the “Parties”) harmless from and against any damage, loss, and expense (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees, expenses, and costs) incurred in connection with any third-party claim, demand, or action (“Claim”) brought against any of the Parties (i) alleging that you have breached any provision of these Terms or any applicable laws, rules, or regulations through any act or omission, (ii) arising out of any User Generated Content you post or allow to be posted to the Website or any Submissions, or (iii) arising out of your use or access of the Website, or access by anyone accessing the Website using your account.

Dispute Resolution and Arbitration

PLEASE READ THIS CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS YOUR RIGHTS. If you have a concern about your purchase or any other issue, please call Circle Graphic’s customer service. In the unlikely event that Circle Graphics is unable to resolve a complaint you may have to your satisfaction, then you and Circle Graphics each agree to be bound by these dispute resolution procedures.

You and Circle Graphics each agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating in any way to your use of the Website, your ordering of Products or Services from Circle Graphics or its affiliates through the Website, by phone, or through third-party websites offering Circle Graphics Products or Services shall be determined by binding arbitration.

BY AGREEING TO ARBITRATION, YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT YOU ARE GIVING UP YOUR RIGHT TO BRING AN ACTION IN COURT OR BEFORE AN ADMINISTRATIVE AGENCY. ARBITRATION IS MORE INFORMAL THAN COURT OR ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEEDINGS. ARBITRATION USES A NEUTRAL ARBITRATOR TO DECIDE A DISPUTE INSTEAD OF A JUDGE OR JURY. AN ARBITRATOR’S AWARD IS SUBJECT TO VERY LIMITED REVIEW BY COURTS. HOWEVER, AN ARBITRATOR CAN AWARD ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS THE SAME DAMAGES AND RELIEF AS A COURT (INCLUDING INJUNCTIVE AND DECLARATORY RELIEF OR STATUTORY DAMAGES). AN ARBITRATOR IS ALSO BOUND BY THESE TERMS TO THE SAME EXTENT AS A COURT.

WE EACH ALSO AGREE THAT ANY DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROCEEDINGS OF ANY NATURE OR IN ANY FORUM WILL BE CONDUCTED ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT IN A CLASS, CONSOLIDATED OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION. THIS MEANS THAT YOU MAY NOT BRING A CLAIM ON BEHALF OF A CLASS OR ANY PERSON OTHER THAN YOURSELF. UNLESS OTHERWISE AGREED IN WRITING BY BOTH YOU AND CIRCLE GRAPHICS, AN ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE MORE THAN ONE PERSON’S CLAIMS, MAY NOT CONDUCT ANY FORM OF A REPRESENTATIVE OR CLASS PROCEEDING, AND MAY NOT AWARD RELIEF OTHER THAN ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS.

To begin an arbitration proceeding, you must send a demand to the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) describing your claim and serve a copy of the demand on our registered agent Copyright Manager Circle Graphics 120 Ninth Avenue. Longmont, Colorado 80501. The arbitration will be conducted by the AAA under its Commercial Arbitration Rules and Mediation Procedures, and for disputes arising from or related to the purchase of products or services for personal or household use the AAA’s Consumer Arbitration Rules will apply. AAA and the arbitrator will determine the appropriate rules that may apply as from time to time amended. The AAA’s rules and the form for filing an arbitration claim are available at www.adr.org or by calling 1-800-778-7879. Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA’s rules. Circle Graphics will reimburse those fees (but not any attorney’s fees) for arbitration claims seeking less than $10,000 unless the arbitrator determines your claims are frivolous. Additionally, Circle Graphics will not seek attorneys’ fees and costs in arbitration unless the arbitrator determines the claims are frivolous. You may choose to have the arbitration conducted by telephone, based on written submissions, or in person in the county where you live or at another mutually agreed upon location. The arbitrator shall be bound by these Terms.

As an alternative to arbitration, you may elect to submit a claim to a small claims court if the claim qualifies, but any filing or other fees will be your responsibility.

If for any reason a claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration, we each waive any right to a jury trial, unless such waiver is unenforceable. This means that any claim in court would be decided by a judge, not a jury.

We also each agree that you or Circle Graphics may bring suit in court to seek temporary provisional relief such as to enjoin infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights.

General Terms

THIS AGREEMENT EVIDENCES A TRANSACTION IN INTERSTATE COMMERCE, AND THUS THE FEDERAL ARBITRATION ACT AND APPLICABLE FEDERAL LAW GOVERNS THE INTERPRETATION AND ENFORCEMENT OF THESE TERMS AND ANY CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING IN ANY WAY TO YOUR USE OF THE WEBSITE AND SERVICES, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, PRODUCTS AND SERVICES ORDERED OR PURCHASED THROUGH THE WEBSITE. IN THE ABSENCE OF APPLICABLE FEDERAL LAW, THEN THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF COLORADO (WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICT OF LAWS PRINCIPLES) WILL GOVERN.
