Please Read Our Terms And Conditions Of Sale Carefully which govern all purchases of goods from us.

These Terms and Conditions may be updated and edited at our discretion. These terms may not be altered, supplemented, or amended by the use of any other document (s).



By Completing an order in our shopping cart,  you are stating that you are in agreement with these terms and conditions.

We at Personalized Gifts inc and under any selling/website name take pride in the items we sell to you.  We make and resell some of the most desired personalized items available today. 
When personalizing items we use the utmost care to meet your desires to the best of our ability, thus it is important that you take as much care in reading about the product you are ordering and giving us your personalization instructions.  We cannot accept liability for incorrectly personalized items if your instructions were not reasonably clear or if you didn't read about the product (ie: the website states it's plastic, but you thought it was metal).  

Photos & Files - When supplied with less than perfect photographs and digital files, we will attempt to adjust your photo for its best output, however, we do not guarantee color or photo quality of output. Between scan, print and press, colors may shift.  We cannot accept responsibility or returns unless we have made an obvious error. Thus, if you send us a photo with trees and bushes in the background, and the print is not exactly the same green as the photo, we cannot take responsibility. Understandably, Personalized Items cannot be returned.  However, if the green is red in our output,  we would notice and not send it to you, but in the event something slips through quality control, we will re-make your order. Just notify us in writing (e-mail) within 48 hours of receipt of your order. 

There is no color matching with personalized products as is with promotional items. Please Do Not ask for non standard colors or shades such as soft blue, vegas yellow, periwinkle blue, Silver, Strawberry Red, light lilac, Gold, Hot Pink, etc etc.  These colors are impossible to create as well as the fact as they are also seen as different to each person.  If you do request odd colors, we will attempt to come as close as possible to what we think that color is. We do not accept returns because the color is not the shade you assumed.

Errors - Personalized items cannot be returned unless there is a malfunction of parts or a spelling error on our part. For most items we will send a sample graphic via e-mail for your approval,  however, all monitor resolutions differ and you must realize the colors you see may not be the colors we see and certainly not be the colors printed. This is not to say that The colors will be wrong, just that shades may shift slightly.
Please check any sample sent for design and spelling to insure it's correctness.  If you approve an item with spelling errors, we cannot be responsible.   We do understand that errors happen and try to be as fair as possible, so if you've made an error and need to re-order the product with it's correct personalization, we will offer you a 10 - 15% discount depending on the product.  

If there is an error on our part, you must notify us by e-mail within 48 hours of receiving your order and we will give you a RMA # for return.  No items are accepted for return without authorization by our office.  If you send something back without an accurate RMA #  and  your name clearly stated on the outside of the box , it will be refused at the post office.

For your protection, we prefer to only ship to your credit card billing address as requested by your credit card issuing bank.  We do, however, realize that there are times when it is necessary to ship to your office or gift recipient.  If you request shipping to an address other than your billing address, your name and billing info is checked with your credit card issuing bank.  If your address info matches, then you are liable for the order and may not claim it to be fraudulent.  If you have lost your credit card or if your info has been compromised in any way then it is your responsibility to inform your issuing bank and close your account so charges will not be approved.

Communication & Changes to your order -  It is important that you check your e-mail on a regular basis. We may send samples or have question pertaining to your order.  Delay in your response to us is a delay in production of your order.  Once a sample is approved your order process continues.  If you request editing or re-design, your order goes back into the art department and may take a few days for re-sampling.  We prefer all correspondence is made via e-mail so there is a record for review,  less errors happen that way, However, please try to keep your emails precise and to a minimum.  We request you attempt to give the most accurate info during the order process.  We  will make our best efforts to  alter your personalization after the order has been received, however, we cannot guarantee any changes as it depends on how far the order has progressed.
