AD Space Proof Forms

Harris Chamber Team, has a full design department at your disposal. We create your ad at no cost or we review all camera-ready ads provided before print. Whether the Harris Chamber Team creates your ad space or you have provided us with a camera-ready file, every care has been taken to follow your instructions but the final responsibility for accuracy of this proof rests with the client. Any errors on the final images which were not alerted to on the attached proof – is solely the client’s responsibility. Please check the proof thoroughly for positioning, grammar and spelling. Your proof does not represent ink colors, as they will appear on the final printed piece. Mark any errors clearly. We will not be responsible for any errors appearing in the final printed piece which you have not indicated on this proof.

The client is 100% responsible for approvals of Copyrights, Trademarks and Licensing Agreements of artwork. The Harris Chamber Team is released from any liability. The client is responsible of obtaining verbal or electronic approval for all artwork before submitted to the Harris Chamber Team.

Proof Approval Checklist

Refer to this checklist to make sure your proofs are error-free and designed just the way you want.

  • All the stationery items I ordered were included in the final proof set.
  • Correct ink, paper and envelope colors were used. Colors may appear differently on your computer than they print in person.  If you are at all concerned about the color, please order a printed proof.
  • Correct fonts were used.
  • All text is spaced properly. All text is formatted and aligned correctly.
  • All important information is included – who, what, where, when and why
  • All wording/phrasing is typed correctly.
  • All dates, names, professional titles, physical addresses, email & web addresses, and telephone numbers are correct.
  • There are no abbreviations and all dates and addresses are spelled out as you would like (i.e. Street versus St.)
  • There are no spelling or punctuation errors – do not assume spell check has caught every error!
  • All design elements (dimensions, folds, layers, embellishments, graphic elements, etc.) are EXACTLY correct.
Proof Approval

Failure to submit all ad materials within 14 days of the date you signed the advertising agreement, allows the Harris Chamber Team to print a generic ad in the purchased space for the full contract price. To ensure that the publication prints at the scheduled time, all advertisers are responsible to respond within 7 days of receiving any proof from the Harris Chamber Team. If our design team find pieces in your submitted materials that are a low resolution and therefore not able to print or the specs are off and we need to resize the ad space, you as the client are obligated to respond with new materials within 7 days otherwise, the Harris Chamber Team will create a generic ad in a high resolution of 300 dpi or greater. The reason for this, is that the chamber project is on a tight scheduled and your timely response is necessary to maintain the schedule.

Online Proofs

Proofs viewed in a PDF format printed or online are for content verification only. Images have been aggressively down sampled to allow for transmission via email. This may cause images to appear jagged, or blurry in the PDF proof. PDF proofs are not to be considered as color-accurate, even on color-managed screens. For jobs submitted in color spaces other than process (CMYK) or properly tagged, Pantone color shift may occur when converting images to the final output color space. Contract color proofs are available upon request. Additional Proofs after initial proof will incur an additional charge.

Consent

By responding to any provided proof or failure to respond within 7 days after proof was sent, is your consent to print as is. This means you have read through the suggested check list above and have used that to look through all physical and digital proofs. You have verified the layout, spelling and content on each piece and they are correct. You assume all responsibility for typographical errors

You accept full responsibility for this approval and hereby grant permission to proceed with the production process as noted above. You understand that revisions, error corrections and/or preference changes after this approval will be deemed “new work” and invoiced in addition to this project’s fees.
