Terms and Conditions
Upon the acceptance of delivery, you agree that the package(s) have arrived without any visible shipping damage. If shipping damage is noted, sign for the delivery as damaged and contact Orbus Visual Communications immediately. Failure to sign for the package(s) as damaged, refusal of the package, or neglecting to note after 3 business days any damage that may have occurred during the shipping process will be treated as a warranty claim and are subject to the terms and conditions of our warranty. The option to issue a return label/call tag is at the discretion of Orbus for any warranty or claim situation and any product outside of 72 hours will not have the option for a return label/call tag.

Any errors occurred during the shipping/freight process that shipped under the Orbus prepaid freight service will be guaranteed and covered should the shipper lose, damage or delay a product outside their guaranteed delivery time. Orbus will process the claim information and replace the affected product. For orders shipped using a customer's shipper number or a third party shipper number, the customer will be responsible for replacing the affected product at cost and following through with the claim through the shipping/freight company. Orbus will begin the claim process and provide the customer with the claim information. Any further claim correspondence will be between the customer and the shipping/freight company.

Orbus reserves the right to request documentation in the forms of photos, copies of packing slips and the like to ensure the issue is resolved promptly. “Standard questions” may also be asked in order to provide accurate and timely customer service. Failure to provide the necessary information requested by an Orbus Representative may delay the claim process. An RMA/Case number may be issued depending on the warranty/claim. This number must be used in regards to all correspondence with the issue and adhered to any packaging sent to Orbus for assessment. Failure to adhere RMA/Case information to a package will delay the claim/ warranty process.

Should you need to return a product due to order cancellation or any reason other than a warranty matter, Orbus reserves the right to carry out a full inspection of the product before accepting the return. All returns of this nature must be noted to an Orbus Visual Communications Representative 72 hours after receipt of the product and are susceptible to a 25% restocking fee/charge. Orbus will not accept the return of a used or custom made product or graphic. Product should be returned in the manner in which it was received.

Order cancellations must be confirmed and approved by an Orbus Representative. The cancellation of a production order for which Orbus has produced or ordered raw materials may result in Orbus fully charging for materials and labor, or imposing a minimum cancellation fee of up to 50% of the purchase/sale price. Orbus reserves the right to change prices or product designs as well as discontinue a product at any time without further notice. If a product is noted as defective that is a discontinued product; an exchange to an equivalent product will be offered or an upgrade to a premium product (at the discretion of Orbus) will be available with the customer responsible for the difference in cost.

Graphic Approval: Graphics must be approved in the shopping cart, or in writing via email when you receive an emailed proof. Please only approve of the artwork when you have double-checked the proof and are ready to commit to printing. The approval is final and not reversible. Approving your proof confirms you are aware of the quality of the file(s) provided. Lead times vary based on the product line AND quantity ordered. When proofs are approved in the shopping cart, your order will be processed faster than if you receive an emailed proof and request artwork assistance/expert review. Custom printed graphics are considered final and cannot be returned.

Pricing: All prices are subject to change without notice.

Lead Times: Extenuating circumstances may require lead times to be adjusted. See our lead time guidelines for more information.
