Terms And Conditions
Return Policies
We value you as our customer. And we will strive to do everything we can afford to support you. But, we cannot accept returns on opened merchandise because you tried it and didn't like it. Neither can we if you ordered the wrong thing and didn’t notice before you opened it. We have copious descriptions and instructions on all of our product pages. There are never returns on software. Please read the product information on our web site carefully and be sure you are ordering the product you want; check again before opening. Please contact us if you need help choosing a product. The best method is to email us directly at [email protected].
Having said that, we do accept returns on unopened products. Because our products are technical in nature, we need to examine them after they are returned and make sure they are perfect for resale. Therefore, we have a 15% restocking fee, and we do not refund shipping. Email us for a consultation if you are not certain what product to purchase. Send your specific questions and concerns to [email protected] prior to purchasing something you're not absolutely positive about.
If you need to return a product please send an email to [email protected] with your Sales Order number and let us know what you want to return and why. You can also for convenience reply to your original Sales Order email that we sent to you right after the sale.
If you have made a purchase and then change your mind and ask us to Cancel the Order, we will have already paid 3.5% in credit card fees and this will be deducted from your Refund - and then only if we can cancel the order before it ships. Otherwise, if you refuse the Order and it is returned to us, we will deduct a 15% restocking fee, and we do not refund shipping.
Authorized Returns Procedure
Vermont PhotoInkjet will accept authorized returns on unopened merchandise for 15 days from receipt for a full refund on the merchandise less a 15% restocking fee. Returned merchandise must be in sale-able condition in its original packaging. Authorized returns must be received within 15 days of an RMA being issued and will not be accepted after that. We do not refund shipping fees.
When shipping the order back to us via UPS, DHL or FedEx please be sure to obtain a tracking number and insure the package in case it is lost in transit! It is your responsibility until it reaches us. The tracking number will allow you trace the package in case it is lost and will permit you to file a claim with UPS, DHL or FedEx.
If you ship the order back to us via the Post Office, be sure to request Delivery Confirmation and insure the package.
The customer is responsible for the return shipping cost and the order Shipping and Handling is not refundable.
We will inspect the package and if the goods are sale-able we will refund the purchase price of the goods minus a 15% restocking fee.
Taxes and Import Duties
Currently, we are only collecting Sales Tax in the State of Vermont. We are not collecting Sales Tax in other States. We do not collect any taxes and duties that may be due in Countries outside the USA. All import taxes and duties are the purchasers responsibility. Please check your Country's tax and import rules prior to purchasing. This is easily accessible by the internet. If you refuse to accept our shipment because you refuse to pay the duties due to your Country and the package is returned to us, you will be responsible for the costs of the return shipment to our offices. If they are returned in sale-able condition your refund on the purchase will be less the costs of shipping to you, and the costs of shipping back to InkjetMall, and a 15% restocking fee, and the 4% fee we pay for using a credit card processor.

1) JonCone Studio Paper, ConeColor, Piezography, InkThrift, PiezoFlush, Refillable Cartridges
2) Chemistry
3) Chips, Chip Resetters, Decoder Boards, Brushes, Paper other than JonCone Studio Brand, and other Products not manufactured by InkjetMall
4) InkjetMall Ultra Premium Ink Cartridges
5) verifiedUV LED Products
6) UV Exposure Units and UV Vacuum Exposure Units
1) For JonCone Studio Paper, and for ConeColor, Piezography, InkThrift, and PiezoFlush inks that are used in refillable cartridges that have been purchased directly from InkjetMall, as well as the refillable cartridges themselves, which are defective in workmanship or material and for which you make a claim within thirty (30) days after receipt of the merchandise, we will elect to either replace the merchandise, or refund the purchase price. When making such a claim, you must submit both the original packing slip and the defective merchandise itself, unless these conditions are waived by us in writing. This paragraph constitutes our sole obligation as to the JonCone Studio papers, refillable cartridges, and ConeColor, Piezography, InkThrift, and PiezoFlush inks that are purchased and used in refillable cartridges purchased directly from InkjetMall, and you acknowledge that this paragraph sets forth your exclusive remedy for any breach of warranty or other duty related to the merchandise or quality thereof. Any refund for merchandise shall not include shipping and handling or replacement fees.
2) For any Chemistry purchased from InkjetMall that you believe is defective you must contact us within 30 days of receipt of the chemistry. Some items may require technical support to ascertain if you are using them correctly or if you are using them with incompatible products. A RMA will be issued to return the chemistry to a specific testing location. Chemistry must have at least 75% of its contents remaining. You can not use more than 25% of the chemistry and then make a claim for defects. If after testing the returned chemistry is found to be defective, it will be replaced in full volume to the original amount purchased.

4) InkjetMall Ultra Premium Ink Cartridge products carry our most comprehensive Warranty because they are used in the same way as the OEM products and therefore carry a different warranty than our inks which are used in refillable cartridges. InkjetMall will provide warranty repair or replacement (at its sole discretion and approval) of any print head(s) or parts that fail as a direct result of InkjetMall Ultra Premium Ink Cartridge products provided for the period covering OEM manufacturer’s warranty coverage excluding consumable parts (Ex. Wipers / S-dampeners/ filters/pumps). Company or person requesting warranty repair shall contact InkjetMall for pre-authorization and selection of a qualified repair technician to service the equipment prior to performing service on the equipment. Failure to request pre-authorization for service repair and selection will result in denial of a warranty claim. Machines out of OEM warranty will also qualify for replacement of any print head(s)/ parts that fail as a direct result of InkjetMall Ultra Premium Ink Cartridge products, excluding consumable parts (Ex. Wipers/ S-dampers filters/pumps).

The warranty period will be in effect as long as customer is using InkjetMall Ultra Premium Ink Cartridge products on an exclusive basis and adheres to normal maintenance requirements stated in the OEM Printers Users Manual. InkjetMall Ultra Premium Ink Cartridge products used in conjunction with any other inks other than the OEM inks will not be subject to this warranty statement. Inkjetmall will not be liable for labor or material costs associated with graphic production, graphic application, equipment downtime or any other consequential damages including loss of profits or potential business sales, arising out of a warranty claim. It is the users responsibility to secure the equipment and surrounding area to prevent damage from potential ink spills, or other damages arising from a warranty claim. Inkjetmall is not responsible for damages that may arise from ink spills outside of the printer or from improper care, maintenance or repair of equipment associated with normal operation. InkjetMall further warrants its InkjetMall Ultra Premium Ink Cartridge products to function as intended and in a normal fashion in its designated printer. Should a cartridge fail for any reason other than mishandling, misuse, abuse or negligence, InkjetMall will replace the cartridge with a new cartridge of like kind. Service calls that are conducted with the discovery that the service call was not an ink related one will be charged to the customer at current service policy rates. Should a call be performed by someone other than Inkjetmall’s designated service technician, then a local technician will be hired. Inkjetmall will cover expenses charged by the service technician up to $500.

Freight Shipment Policy for UV Exposure Units, UV Vacuum Exposure Units, UV Exposure Plates, and Custom UV Exposure Units built and sold by InkjetMall. We take great care to pack your Exposure System well so it will arrive in good condition. If crated, we place both a Shock Warning and a Tip n’ Tell device on the crate which will indicate rough handling. We even receive a signed bill of lading from the freight company that they accepted your order from us in good condition. Your order is shipped to you insured. The next step is up to you. It is your responsibility to inspect the order to be sure it is in sound condition upon receipt and if you find damage you must report back to us within 25 days of the delivery in order to file a claim. There is no exception to this as per the terms and conditions of the carrier's insurance company.
InkjetMall's responsibility for shipments ends when the shipment is accepted by the carrier. The vast majority of our shipments are received without complications. If, however, your shipment is lost or arrives damaged it is the responsibility of the customer/consignee to make note of any loss or damage in order to file a claim. You must contact us within 25 days in order for a claim to be filed. Below are listed several shipping and receiving standards for you to use to insure proper service:
2. If either the Shock Warning or the Tip n’ Tell has been triggered, or if the shipment has the appearance that the contents inside may be damaged it is your responsibility to note “DAMAGE” or “Shipment appears damaged and will inspect later”, or you can insist that the package be opened in the presence of the driver. Any concealed damage should be noted immediately. To write on the delivery receipt "damage may be concealed will inspect later" is your best option when signing for your delivery.
3. Carrier Trucks are responsible for "tailgate deliveries" meaning that the driver is obligated only to bring the shipment to the end of the truck. At this point it is the responsibility of the consignee to unload it. If you require assistance with unloading, please make prior arrangements. Lift gate, hand unload, inside delivery and residential delivery are often available for an additional price. Tell us your special requirements at the time you place your order and we will either forward your requests to the freight company or provide you with their contact information so that you can make these arrangements to your satisfaction. We recommend you make the contact so that you are certain your requests have been granted.
