Proofing

Once you have placed your order and provided us with your wording and related information, you will receive an emailed proof of your design within 1-3 business days.

It is your responsibility to check this proof carefully for any errors or changes you want to make. You will need to advise us in writing of what changes you want to make.

You are entitled to 2 rounds of revisions for existing designs and 3 rounds of revisions for custom designs. If you require further revisions after this you will be charged an extra $25 per proof which is to be paid prior to completion of your design.

Throughout the design process, if you decide to change to a new or different design in its entirety, you will be charged a new design fee starting at $35.

When you are happy with the design and are ready to proceed to printing, we require an email detailing your approval of the final design. We will not send any designs to print until we have your final tick of approval in writing.

IMPORTANT: You are responsible for checking and rechecking your proofs carefully. Bear Avenue cannot be held responsible for any typing errors noticed after the final proofs have been approved. If you choose to make any changes or amendments after final approval and printing, you will be charged extra, dependant on amount of printing and amendments.
