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.

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 and the commission charges billed to the account.
