Get-A-Wrap will be given the opportunity to correct and resolve any disputes within 30 days by fixing the disputed project. Since all jobs are custom products, Get-A-Wrap must be given the opportunity to reprint or reinstall any job, before the client issues any credit card charge backs or returns.

of the dispute resolution. In the event that the customer fails to make payment in full on the
invoice, the customer irrevocably authorizes Get-A-Wrap to remove the graphics supplied or take back any produced products.
For Printed Vehicle Graphics And Color Wraps; once the job is printed, delivered and or installed all contracts are final and no monetary refunds can be issued.

Pricing and schedule are subject to change upon receipt of artwork and approval of estimate. Pricing is good for 15 days from the date of the quote. Estimates are contingent upon strikes, accidents, fire, availability of materials and all other causes beyond our control. Get-A-Wrap's minimum order is $85 and we require a 50% deposit (Or Material Costs, whichever is higher) upon approval of estimate and the remaining balance upon delivery based on agreed terms unless otherwise negotiated up-front in writing. The Client order is subject to applicable state and local taxes unless we have a Sales Tax Exemption form completely filled out denoting that said corporation is exempt from sales tax. Appropriate taxes will be applied to outstanding invoices until we receive this document.
JOB CANCELLATION & ERRORS: If the Client cancels the order before its completion, the Client shall be responsible for the cost of any proofs, artwork, materials re-stocking and work performed until cancellation notice is received in writing.

LIMITATION OF LIABILITY & CONFIDENTIALITY: Get-A-Wrap will not be responsible in any way for any materials supplied by the client. Original artwork is left at the Client’s risk and is not subject to replacement. Get-A-Wrap will not assume liability for damaged or lost files.
PROJECT START TIME, SUBSTRATES & INSTALLATION: The start time of any project does not begin until ALL support files and items related to completion of the job are in house and the Client approves the artwork. Ultimately, the Client accepts full responsibility for determining if said purchased item will perform to their requirements on the substrate(s) to which they are applied.
TRADEMARKS & COPYRIGHTS: Reproduction in any form, of copyrighted materials without prior permission of the originator is illegal. It is the responsibility of the Client to obtain said permission. Get-A-Wrap is in no way responsible for obtaining permission and assumes that the Client has obtained permission before the work is submitted.
DESIGN & PRINTING: The design, name, mark, or other material in final form that is approved by the Client and selected for use will be the exclusive property of the Client upon final payment of all amounts due. All other design, names, marks, and other materials developed in the course of the project shall remain the property of Get-A-Wrap, as is customary in our industry. The Client’s ownership of legal rights in the final form of the selected item is exclusive to the extent provided by applicable national and international laws. Legal protection and appropriate registration of a design, name, mark, or other material developed by Get-A-Wrap is the responsibility of the Client. Get-A-Wrap will store artwork and a fee will be associated with any and all files that are stored to be used at a later date if kept over 1 year, upon the request of the Client.
All work undertaken is under the condition that a complete, high-resolution file is supplied, complete with a color proof, pantone references, and purchase order with the exact specification. Where artwork is supplied by the Client, it is the responsibility of the Client to ensure the artwork is in a “print ready” format. It is the responsibility of the Client’s designer to check the dimensions and layout of the actual vehicle(s).
When Get-A-Wrap receives original logos or art we will not modify the color or design, which could cause unacceptable errors. Get-A-Wrap will not be held responsible for any design layouts provided by the Client. All original art must come to Get-A-Wrap ready to print. There will be a design fee for any changes made to client-supplied art or layout. Design fee is $85.00 per hour. Where Get-A-Wrap provides the artwork, it is essential the Client fully checks the final proof with the actual vehicle to check for any variations (e.g. style of lights, positioning of number plates, number of doors, and other major or minor variations.)The accuracy of the templates provided has a margin of error of a few percentage points. It is recommended that designers design vehicle wraps with this in mind, avoiding the extreme edges of the wrap with vital information. Measurement of the vehicle is always recommended.
It is the responsibility of the Client to provide or purchase quality, high resolution pictures for large format printing. Get-A-Wrap will not be held responsible for low resolution images provided by the Client for printing.
Paint is a smooth liquid spray application, whereas a vinyl wrap is printed onto a vinyl material using a high-resolution large format inkjet printer. An inkjet printer print head passes over the vinyl 8 times to create a 1-inch area of coverage and will never print onto the vinyl with the same smooth characteristics of a smooth liquid sprayed paint job. Most car paints look completely smooth from 6 inches. An inkjet printer wrap viewed from 6 inches will show evidence that it has been printed using an ink jet printer. If viewed from the close proximity of 6
inches, banding may be seen. Banding describes the horizontal print passes that occur during the printing process. This is mostly apparent on solid colors with no effects or texture in the design. Since most wraps are designed to be viewed as a moving billboard for advertising purposes, this is not a major issue for most clients, and is considered an acceptable condition with vehicle wrap used for commercial advertising. Paint is also consistent in its color saturation. A car painted with a solid color will have smooth consistent color on the entire surface. When a car is wrapped with printed vinyl, the color may shift slightly between the 52- inch panels, and may shift slightly in certain areas when the installer has to heat the vinyl to make it conform to complex curves. This color shift on complex curves is mostly apparent when solid coverage colors are used in the wrap. Again, these conditions are typically accepted as a limitation of the vinyl wrapping process, and this is an acceptable condition for commercial vehicle advertising, where the advertising will be viewed on a moving vehicle from a standard viewable distance of 15 feet or more from the vehicle.
In the case where a third-party design firm is involved on behalf of the Client, Get-A-Wrap will consult and advise the third-party design firm as part of the Palmer Signs work order agreement, free of charge, as long as Palmer Signs performs the printing and installation. The Client will be responsible for all Get-A-Wrap consultation fees if the Client decides to take the project elsewhere for printing and installation
ADDITIONAL COLOR MATCHING AND DESIGN: If the Client’s files exceed the determined file set-up rate included in price of project, charges will be based on a rate of $75/hour with a $100 minimum and billed in 15-minute increments after the minimum is met. The Client will be notified of this charge prior to work being started and we require Client authorization before proceeding. If Get-A-Wrap is creating original artwork, design will be billed at a rate of $75/hour. Color matching charges are $100 per hour. Due to the nature of both screen and digital printing, we cannot match PMS colors exactly and give no guarantees to precise color matches. A +/- of 3% to 5% variation is acceptable industry-wide.
Use of Images and References to Completed Work: Get-A-Wrap may, at its sole discretion, use images of completed work and/or refer to Client in Get-A-Wrap's portfolio and any other marketing materials.
It is the responsibility of the client to provide or purchase quality high resolution pictures for large format printing. Get-A-Wrap will not be held responsible for low resolution images provided by the client for printing.
Vehicle Wrap: Additional Terms, Conditions and Warranty Disclaimer:
INSTALLATIONS (PRINTED AND COLOR WRAPS): Get-A-Wrap only guarantees final prints that are designed and set up by Get-A-Wrap. Get-A-Wrap reserves the right to VOID the warranty on any same day print and install jobs or any Rush Jobs. Get-A-Wrap disclaims all warranties on
buses, planes, trains, RVs, custom vehicles and vehicles with OEM paint that is more 6 years old. If we are asked to cover existing vinyl decals, we cannot be liable for any damage caused during the installation or removal process to these decals.
A Wrap is NOT paint. There may be extreme curves, deep channels and moldings on the vehicle that the vinyl will not be able to conform to. In some small areas you will see evidence of the original color of the vehicle. These may be small areas such as around door handles and the edges of the lights on the vehicles. A vehicle wrap is made by applying 52-inch vertical panels of vinyl. There will be 1-inch seams where the panels meet. On a complex design with many matching points, Get-A-Wrap Wraps cannot guarantee that the graphics will match 100% alignment due to extreme complex curves on the vehicle. A 5% margin is considered acceptable on large outdoor advertising projects.
Proofs (PRINTED WRAPS) are created on a flat surface and viewed at a relatively tiny size on computer screens and printed paper. In cases of curves, handles, deep grooves, rubber moldings/trim, on-the-spot adjustments may be made by the installer to assure maximum readability or alignment. In many cases there are slight differences between the printed flat paper proof and the 3-dimensional curved vehicle wrap. This can vary up to several inches. This is normal and the wrap needs to be designed with this in mind
It is not reasonable to expect printed vinyl wrap to cover and look exactly like paint or in all the same places look exactly the same. A piece of vinyl has limits and can only stretch so much before it changes color. In some cases, a relief cut may have to be made into the vinyl that will reveal a small amount of the original vehicles paint color under the vinyl. In some cases, a patch needs to be installed to conceal vehicles original color. It is the only option. Areas under door handles, mirrors, behind gas caps, and inside door frames will not be wrapped. If we wrap extreme curved surfaces such as mirrors and bumpers, they may reveal the original paint color at the tight edges of the wrap. It has more to do with material limitations and not install quality. Get-A-Wrap cannot warranty those areas with extreme curves. It is the sole risk of the client if they choose wrap mirrors or other very tight curves. Get-A-Wrap will make the client aware of these areas before we begin the design.
If we are installing at the client’s nominated location, suitable conditions must exist. Vehicles need to be indoors, in a clean, dust free temperature-controlled environment, with a power supply and good quality lighting with a minimum of 5 feet working space around the entire vehicle. If in the opinion of the senior installer on site, conditions are not suitable for a high- quality install of the wrap, the vehicle will be required to go to one of our nominated install locations. Wraps are self-adhesive vinyl that will only adhere well to catalyzed vehicle paint and glass. Poor surface paint or clear coats will not allow the vinyl adhesive to stick properly and the adhesive may fail. It is the responsibility of the vehicle owner to bring in a vehicle that is ready to be wrapped. Extreme curves and deep pockets may exceed the limits of how far the material can stretch. Again, this is not paint it is a special pressure sensitive vinyl material. Vehicles are not at exact right-angle curves. They maintain lines that are not 100% parallel to the ground.
Due to this fact the graphics that are 2D printed graphics twill not be at the exact same angle of the vehicle lines once the wrap is installed onto the 3D vehicle surface.
Due to the limitations and the sensitivity of the various substrates, it is impossible to reproduce all colors accurately. Therefore, in the absence of a representative from your company to select the appropriate color sample, reproduction will be at our discretion. When we wrap over existing vinyl strips or letters, the new wrap is so thin on top that there will be evidence that there is old vinyl underneath the new vinyl. Get-A-Wrap will not be held responsible for any damage, void of vehicle warranty or anything caused through the application of the vinyl products. Get-A-Wrap is not liable if during the installation of a wrap the clear coat of the car begins to peel off. Original painted vehicles should not have any problems with the clear coat peeling off.
The application process in many cases takes several days for full wraps and partial wraps can be done within a day or two. It is not a good idea to rush the install process as many things can go wrong. Get-A-Wrap reserves the right to take additional time for any issues that may arise during the install and will notify Client in the event that additional time is required.
Get-A-Wrap prefers to use our facility for installation. If client elects to have installation performed at their location, Get-A-Wrap will not be held liable for any issues related to improper install conditions such as temperature or dust.
The vinyl that is applied to original vehicle paint is warranted against adhesive failure and image quality for a length of time determined by the film manufacturer.
REMOVALS: All removals are quoted separately. Wrap removal can be very time consuming. We charge by the hour for the labor. Get-A-Wrap will not be responsible for any paint, clear coat, or existing striping damage when we do a removal.
We cannot be responsible for damage to paintwork when the vinyl is removed, and would not advise application on a re-sprayed surface, or poor quality/rusted paintwork. Please note, our experience shows that removal of vinyl designed for vehicle wraps, from good quality, factory original paintwork, will not damage the paintwork. However, it is the duty and responsibility of the owner of the vehicles to ensure suitability of the existing surface before it is wrapped.
WARRANTY & MATERIALS: Get-A-Wrap offers a one-year warranty on the installation and one- year on the material applied to the windows. No warranty on horizontal direct sun exposure such as hoods, roofs, and/or deck lids. Any surface with less than a 10-degree slope will not be warrantied. The wrap warranty will depend upon the customer’s care of the vehicle and the outdoor/geographic conditions. We recommend hand washing only. Avoid high pressure, power washing and be careful never to use an ice scraper on window graphics. Also avoid harsh chemicals of any kind as they can deteriorate the laminate on the vinyl adhesive. Sweeping or brushing off the windows with a soft broom and the use of a rear defroster will not damage
your window wrap. There are specially designed products to clean and polish vinyl graphics if needed. Please wait at least 3 weeks before washing your vehicle once applied.
AGREEMENT: This agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties and will supersede all proposals or prior agreements, oral or written and all other communications between the parties relating to the subject matter of this agreement. This agreement may not be varied other than in writing, executed by the duly authorized representatives of both parties. Conditions not specifically stated herein shall be governed by established trade customs. Terms inconsistent with those stated herein, which may appear on Client’s formal order, will not be binding. Client acknowledges that Client has read, understands and hereby agrees and accepts these prices, fees, charges, use of images, specification and conditions stated herein and authorizes Get-A-Wrap to perform all work as specified. Client understands that Get-A-Wrap cannot guarantee the quality of any artwork that is not set-up by Get-A-Wrap.
