TERMS AND CONDITIONS
IMPORTANT NOTICE AND USER AGREEMENT
By using this software and/or the web site the user expressly agrees
to the following terms and conditions:
COSTS OF THE SERVICE -
We have no upload or monthly fees for active accounts. We only charge the cost of the
product ordered and the 12% commission fee on the NET. The commission fee percentage is based
on your gross sales total less, shipping, lab costs and sales tax per billing period
(twice per month). Your customer placing the order pays handling/shipping and any
applicable taxes.
PAYMENT PERIODS - The Payment periods
(checks and
statements) for orders fulfilled by OrderPicture.Com will be calculated twice
per month. Orders will accrue until the check value is over $50.00. There is
an option to cut checks under $50.00 and not accrue orders that can be
activated by editing your client information on line. If that option is
selected checks cut under $50.00 would have a $3.00 processing charge;
checks cut over $50.00 would not have the $3.00 processing charge.
REMAKES AND REFUNDS - Every effort
will be made to produce a quality product for orders fulfilled by
OrderPicture.Com. In the event we feel
an image will not produce a satisfactory product, we will notify you and
discuss alternative options. If a product has been produced and your client
is
not satisfied, we will remake the product to satisfaction or refund the
sale at our discretion.
COPYRIGHTED MATERIAL - By entering the
Images into the online web site, the user represents that they are the owner
or lawful user of any copyrighted picture, images and text.
SALES TAX - Orders that are shipped to a Texas address will be charged Texas
sales tax. The sales tax on such orders will be collected and paid to the
State of Texas by OrderPicture.Com. If you are collecting funds for buckshots certificates, you are responsible for collecting and paying any
sales taxes applicable.
ACCOUNT ACTIVATION - There is no
charge for sign-up, software download and orders placed by the photographer. To activate your
account for public viewing and sales, we do require a $29.95 non-refundable
deposit.
This deposit amount will be drawn against your commissions for the first 90 days;
after that period or until the commission deposit is depleted, the
commission fees will be deducted from your on-going sales. Under this
arrangement no costs are incurred by you as long as your account continues to
produce orders.
ACCOUNT DEACTIVATION - Client-accounts
having no client order sales activity for 6 Payment Periods (3 months) will be deemed inactive.
Any remaining commission deposit will be forfeited.
ACCOUNT REACTIVATION - Client-accounts
that have been deactivated may re-activate the account for a $29.95
non-refundable commission deposit. This fee will be drawn against for your commissions for 90
days; after that period or until the pre-paid commission fee is depleted, the
commission fees will be deducted from your on-going sales.
NUMBER OF ONLINE IMAGES - The number of online images available in an
active account is based on your gross sales dollars per payment period as
follows:
| Gross Sales (per payment period) |
Number of Images Available |
| $.01 - $50 |
50,000 |
| $51 - $250 |
100,000 |
| $251 - $500 |
200,000 |
| $501 - up |
unlimited |
If number of online images available is exceeded you will
be notified to use the online tools to reduce the number of images online.
If you choose to exceed the number of available images, additional charges are
$25.00 per payment period per 50,000 images over the allowed amount of
images.

more than 90 days or have not received any orders for 120 days
will be removed from the website. The events can be re-uploaded if desired.

your responsibility to keep
the information current and correct. There will be a $25.00 fee for each
reprinted check.
RETURNED CHECK FEE - There will be a
$30 charge for each returned check.
CANCELLED ORDERS - Due to credit card
processing fees and our rapid order fulfillment time (often within minutes),
once an order is placed it is not possible to alter it, and it may not be possible to cancel it.
Requesting order cancellation will result in
the applicable commission charges and, depending on the order production
status, some or all of the lab costs.
ORPHANED ORDERS - If an order is
placed; and we are unable to complete and ship the order within 20 days due
to lack of non-response to a print file request, the order will be cancelled
