These terms and conditions (“Agreement”), along with DFS’s Privacy Policy available at www.dfsonline.com/dfs/privacy-and-security apply to your participation in the DFS Dealer Program (the “Program”). If you do not agree to the terms of this agreement, you cannot be a DFS Dealer. DFS may update or change, augment or enhance this Agreement or the DFS Dealer Program without notice to you. By becoming a DFS Dealer and accepting this Agreement you agree to be bound by these modifications. If you do not agree to the changes your sole and exclusive remedy is to terminate your relationship with us.
DFS hereby appoints the entity listed on the Dealer Application Form located at www.dfsonline.com/dfs/b2b/profile/dealerRegistration.jsp (hereinafter “you” or “Dealer”) as a non-exclusive Authorized DFS Dealer. As a dealer, you have the right to sell DFS products to end users in the form and packaging supplied by DFS. Stub printing on most products will carry the Dealer's name, phone number and the product number.
You agree to submit orders to DFS from time to time for DFS products and services. Orders can be placed by internet, phone, fax or mail. Orders for checks should include a bank specification sheet or a check marked "void" (sorry, no deposit tickets). First time orders with new artwork can only be accepted by internet or mail, as faxing can distort logo artwork. Custom logos and other customer artwork may be redrawn to meet printing specifications, for which there will be an additional charge. Imprint information will be printed in our standard format, as shown in the catalog, unless otherwise noted on the order. Please specify starting number when applicable. Please note, the owner of any trademark, service mark, logo, or copyrighted material has the exclusive right to use and reproduce such material. You therefore cannot reproduce any unlicensed trademarks, service marks, logos, or copyrighted material onto printed materials and merchandise via the service offered through this web site without authorization from the owner. We may contact you to verify that this authorization is in place.
All orders are subject to acceptance by DFS, DFS' order cancellation charges and restocking fees, as well as these Terms.
Prices are subject to change without prior notice or obligation. Prices do not include shipping, handling, applicable sales or other taxes or service charges, all of which are payable by you. Orders are subject to credit approval. Prepayment will speed first-time orders through our credit department. For Dealers having received credit approval, terms are net 30 days from the date of invoice. In the event that open account terms cannot be established, terms are Payment with Order. Initial orders for sales materials do not require prepayment. If an account is past due, any new orders will be held until payment is received for the outstanding balance. A $15.00 late fee will be assessed on each past due invoice, subject to applicable law. DFS reserves the right to change a Dealer's open account status if payment history warrants. Sales tax will be accessed on sales materials and items purchased for Dealer's own use in certain states; please call for more information.
We'll ship products with standard imprints within three working days. Orders with custom artwork and special printing instructions will take longer. Stock products ship in 24 hours. All products are delivered F.O.B. point of shipment. DFS will prepay the freight charges (regular surface shipping) and bill the Dealer actual costs for shipping and handling. Dealer will be charged actual shipping charges for all sales materials. DFS requires a shipping point in the USA or its territories. Orders shipping to Hawaii, Alaska, Puerto Rico, Guam and the U.S. Virgin Islands will be shipped via Air Parcel Post.
DFS will provide you with sales tools to assist you in the sales of DFS products and services. DFS Dealer Representatives are available Monday through Friday 8:00am - 7:00pm E.T at 800.225.9528. Dealer Representatives will gladly answer all questions concerning the DFS program, products, ordering and invoicing. For Custom Printing orders and inquiries, call 800.593.6767 during the same business hours.
We will provide full credit, replacement or refund, including any shipping charges paid, for products found to contain errors made by us and for standard pre-designed products that were not printed using customer-supplied electronic art files.
