Welcome to Midwest Funeral Press.
PLEASE READ THESE TERMS & CONDITIONS CAREFULLY. BY ACCESSING THIS WEB-SITE, YOU AGREE TO OUR TERMS & CONDITIONS STATED BELOW, ALONG WITH OUR PRIVACY POLICY FOUND HERE. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THE TERMS & CONDITIONS STATED BELOW, YOU MAY NOT ACCESS OUR WEBSITE.
MidwestFuneralPress.com and Midwest Funeral Press collectively referred to herein as “Midwest Funeral Press”, reserve the right to change, modify or amend these terms and conditions without notice.
1. ORDER RESPONSIBILITY
The customer is fully responsible for final proof and approval prior to the printing process. Once a print job has been approved by the customer, no changes are allowed to the artwork files, job characteristics, or printing turnaround time. After a print job has been sent to our prepress department, the customer is responsible for paying the entire amount of that print job along with applicable taxes and shipping/handling fees, unless otherwise agreed upon in advance.
Midwest Funeral Press shall NOT BE LIABLE for errors in a final product caused by any of the following reasons: Misspelling, Graphics, Bleeds, Grammar, Damaged Fonts, Punctuation, Wrong Cuts, Incorrect or Missing Folds, Die Lines, Crop Marks, Transparency, Overprint, Cracks on Folds, Finished Product Size, Poor Orientation or Alignment.
2. DIGITAL PROOFS
If using our Online Designer, you will see a Digital Proof appear once you finish designing. We strongly urge customers to check the electronic proof of their artwork before approving the artwork. No job will be sent to press without your approval unless otherwise specified in your order details.
An online proof is NOT an accurate color reproduction of your final printed piece but is the final opportunity for you to check the layout, bleeds, crops, and final text. They do not show the color change from RGB or Pantone to CMYK. Therefore, Midwest Funeral Press will not be liable for color variation between the proof and the printed product. We try our best to match the colors of the proof and the printed product by daily Color Calibrations of our presses, but please understand that color variation differences are inherent inconsistencies of the printing process and we will not be held responsible for it.
Our company utilizes cutters that scan and align its blades for each sheet of paper. While we trust our equipment and its aligning process, a print cutting tolerance is about 0.125″, meaning the trim line can vary by up to 0.125″ on each final product. We recommend staying away from borders due to shifting in the cutting process, as they may appear uneven.
3. ARTWORK & CUSTOMER CONTENT
Under these Terms and Conditions, you agree that you will NOT upload any files consisting of the following material: offensive, indecent or improper material, any material that could give rise to any civil or criminal liability under applicable law; and any material that could infringe rights of privacy, publicity, copyrights or other intellectual property rights without the permission of the owner of these rights and the persons who are shown in the material if applicable.
By uploading your text and images you, the customer, agree to be held entirely responsible for all the content that you send, upload, transmit, or post to MidwestFuneralPress.com.We will refuse an order, which in our opinion may be illegal in nature or an infringement on the rights of any third party. You accept full legal liability for the content of material processed and printed on your behalf and under your instructions. We reserve the right to refuse an order without disclosing a reason.
We do not control the content provided by customers and do not guarantee the accuracy, integrity, or quality of the content. Under no circumstances will Midwest Funeral Press be liable to you in any way for any content you may be exposed to that you may find offensive, indecent or objectionable.
4. RESOLUTION REQUIREMENTS

Midwest Funeral Press is NOT RESPONSIBLE for images printed as fuzzy, distorted or pixilated due to low-resolution artwork provided by the customer, especially if it is approved by the customer already.
