Pricing
All pricing in this catalog is effective on orders received from
January 1 through December 31, 2012, for shipment on or
before January 31, 2013.
Catalog Price Increases
As we finalized pricing for 2012, every effort was made
to identify and project material cost increases from our
suppliers. Where necessary, these increases are included in
our current pricing. However, due to the volatility of crude
oil prices and the associated impact on raw material costs,
we reserve the right to change catalog prices at any time
without notice if necessary. If this is required, we will do
everything we can to announce the changes ahead of
time. We understand and regret the inconvenience this may
cause you and your customers.
Order Acceptance
All orders are binding upon BIC Graphic only after
acceptance by BIC Graphic.
Changes
Prices, terms and conditions, items and colors are subject to
change or can be discontinued without notice.
Cancellations
Changes will delay orders and must be authorized by BIC
Graphic. Changes to or cancellation of orders prior to
production will be invoiced at a $31.25(G) minimum charge
per change, plus all cost incurred before cancellation
request is received at the factory. After production has
been initiated, orders cannot be changed or canceled.
Production time begins upon receipt of the complete order
or after proof approval.
Authorized Returns
Merchandise found to be incorrect due to our error will be
replaced at no charge when returned within 180 days of
receipt of merchandise. Authorization from BIC Graphic
is required prior to return of merchandise. Unauthorized
returns will be refused and returned to sender. No credit will
be issued for merchandise which is unavailable for return to
BIC Graphic.
Artwork Return
Customer artwork, if available, will be returned if requested
on order. Include company name and purchase order
number on all artwork. Examples of items that cannot be
returned include letterhead, photocopies or labels. Artwork
will be held on a computer file for 24 months. Repeat orders
submitted after that time will require new artwork. Art
services provided by BIC Graphic are created in a digital
format which cannot be returned.
Catalog Illustrations
Logos and other imprints shown in this catalog are for
illustrative purposes only. They do not imply endorsement,
nor are any items with these specific logos for sale to
anyone other than parties expressly authorized by the
owner of such designs. Product colors shown throughout
this catalog may vary slightly from actual products due to
inherent limitations in photography, film separations, offset
printing and plastic molding processes.
Additional Options
You can take advantage of higher-quantity pricing for an
item and have a different imprint, imprint copy or product
color on some items within that quantity. You may choose
from the following optional changes, at no additional
charge, as they apply to the product ordered: custom color
assortment; imprint color change; copy change; and drop
shipments (up to 20). Each change must be equal to or
greater than the minimum order quantity per product.

the proper ownership or proper use of trademarks, logos
and trade names. All liabilities of this nature rest with the

CPSIA
BIC Graphic products are designed, intended and offered
for sale as promotional products for corporate and
business uses for advertising and promotional purposes.
As such, they are "general use" products. If a general use
product is decorated with children's images and the enduser

be considered a children's product. If you consider your
order to be for a children's product, it is important that you
notify us at the time your order is placed so that we can
let you know if we are able to fulfill it.
