Fulfillment Services Terms and Conditions
(Effective January 1, 2016)

• Initial Set up: Every media production job requires specific set up procedures. For example DVD production requires a “Duplication Set-Up Fee ”.  Additionally, Color separations times 5 for 5 color face labels are required. Clients are responsible for providing printer ready (CMYK) digital files. Additionally, a white background ink layer is also required for full color reproduction. *(Noel Studios, Inc. Does Have a template available that we prefer to provide every client to ensure your job will print properly). Please be sure to inquire about a template for your job.
• Storage: Once inventory has been received by Noel Studios, Inc., it remains in inventory until an order is placed or until the balance of inventory is picked up or returned to the client. This can be one of the most significant costs of outsourced fulfillment and we are detailing our minimum storage charge of $35 per month per linear foot of storage to avoid any future confusion. For example, approximately 175 window sleeved DVD disks cover one linear foot of storage. Although many companies offer a variety of storage we only offer temperature and humidity controlled storage is that optimum for any video media including DVD and Blu-ray discs and charge accordingly. Although we are not making this a retroactive charge any clients with inventory currently in storage after 2016 will be charged an appropriate storage fee.
• Order Fulfillment: When your customer orders product, our staff will have to go out and pick the order and package it for shipment. This process is referred to as pick and pack. We typically quote this on a job by job basis depending upon shipping size, weight and method. We always strongly suggest media mail is this is the most cost-effective method of shipment.
• Shipping: The final and one of the largest components of cost is the actual freight/shipping charge to get the order from the warehouse to your customer. Whether it’s shipped out on a small package (parcel) basis, LTL (less than truckload), full truckload or international basis we work hard to get very good rates from carriers and pass this savings on to you. Again, this charge will be detailed in your estimate/invoice.
• Miscellaneous Charges: From time to time additional fees and charges may come into play and Noel studios, Inc. will do our best to detail them on your estimate/invoice. We are not, however, responsible for notifying each and every client of incidental charges and expenses that may arise.  We strongly suggest that any and all fulfillment clients stay in close touch with us during their fulfillment period.
