IF YOU DO NOT AGREE WITH THESE TERMS OF SALE, DO NOT COMPLETE THIS TRANSACTION. PLEASE PRINT OR SAVE A COPY OF THESE TERMS OF SALE WITH YOUR ORDER FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.
Scope and Application
These Terms of Sale (the "Terms of Sale") constitute a binding legal contract between (a) either Jostens, Inc., with principal offices at 7760 France Avenue South, Suite 400, Minneapolis, MN 55435 or one of its corporate affiliates, as identified as the seller on or in the website, interactive property, software program, or mobile application (a "Property") in which these Terms of Sale are referenced (the seller, with references to "us", "we", or "our" being construed accordingly), and (b) you (the purchaser, with references to "you" or "your" being construed accordingly). These Terms of Sale apply to all sales of, and offers to sell, products and services by us to you (1) which occur either through a Property or through any other means through which we engage in the sale of products and services, such as but not limited to orders by phone, and (2) where you are notified that these Terms of Sale apply (each, a "Sales Channel"). You should also read our Terms of Use, which govern your use of this Property, and our Privacy Policy, which governs how we collect and use information you provide to us through this Property.
When a customer enters a brick-and-mortar store, the customer is bound by the store rules in effect on the date of his or her visit. Similarly, you are bound by the version of these Terms of Sale in effect on the date of each order you place through a Sales Channel. These Terms of Sale may change from time to time, so please review them upon submission of each order, even if you have reviewed them before.
Changes to these Terms
We may update these Terms of Sale from time to time. Changes to these Terms of Sale will become effective when posted and will apply to the offering by us of products and services, and your purchase of such products and services, through this Property as of the effective date. We will make an updated version of these Terms of Sale accessible through the Property with a revised effective date, to let you know that we updated them.
Eligibility Requirements
If you are using this Property to purchase goods on behalf of a business, by accepting these Terms of Sale you confirm that you have authority to bind such business to a contract with us for the purchase of goods and services. You may not purchase products or submit orders through this Property if you are a foreign national of a country subject to a U.S. trade embargo or sanctions program covering the products offered through this Property or are on any restricted parties lists maintained by a US or foreign government including without limitation the Denied Parties List, Specially Designated Nationals List, Unverified List or Entity List. If you order or purchase products through this Property, you represent and warrant that you are 13 or older, that you are of legal age to form a binding contract with us, and that you meet the eligibility requirements above. If you cannot provide this representation and warranty, do not purchase products through this Property.
Yearbook, Yearbook Accessories, and School-Sold Products
For yearbooks, yearbook accessories, and other products designated on a product page, cart and/or checkout as sold by a school, our role is that of the school's agent for order placement and cash collection purposes. For the avoidance of doubt, we are not the seller of record of yearbooks, yearbook accessories, and other school-sourced products unless our role of seller of record for such products is expressly stated on the Property. Sales tax on such products may or may not apply depending on whether the school is required to collect and remit tax in your state.
Order Placement
To place an order on a Property, you will generally need to select the products you would like to purchase, add them to your shopping cart and/or click to enter the checkout process, provide us with delivery and billing information, provide any necessary acknowledgments and conduct any final review of your order, and submit your order. Prior to our Acceptance of your order (as defined below), an automatic e-mail acknowledgement of your order may be generated. Please note that any such automatic acknowledgement does not mean your order has been accepted by us. If you order a customized product, you agree and acknowledge that your payment method may be charged before goods are delivered. CHANGES AND CANCELLATIONS TO CUSTOMIZED PRODUCTS MAY NOT BE PERMITTED AFTER YOU HAVE SUBMITTED YOUR ORDER. For a complete list of cancellation policies by product, please visit our Help Page.
We regularly update and revise our products and product lines. The prices, quotations and descriptions made on this Property are subject to availability, may include precious and semi-precious metals and stones for which inventory levels and raw material prices may fluctuate, and are subject to availability. We may revise and discontinue products at any time or mark products as backordered or out of stock without notice to you, which may affect information in a saved online cart session. We cannot guarantee that all items are in stock or immediately available when you submit your order. We may reject your order (without liability) if we are unable to process or fulfill it. If this is the case, we will refund any prior payment that you have made for that item.
Order Acceptance, Title Transfer and Risk of Loss
No contract will exist between you and us for the sale or supply of any products or services unless and until we accept your order by delivering your physically-fulfilled product to the shipping carrier, or providing you with a download link to or online access to the purchased product or service subscription ("Acceptance"). We may cancel your order at any time and for any lawful reason prior to Acceptance. All physical product purchases by you from us are made pursuant to a shipment contract, which means that the risk of loss and title to physically-fulfilled products passes to you upon delivery of product to the shipping carrier. IF NO SIGNATURE IS REQUIRED FOR DELIVERY, YOU ACCEPT ALL RISK OF THEFT OR LOSS OF THE DELIVERED PRODUCT FOLLOWING DELIVERY TO THE DELIVERY LOCATION.
Prices, Shipping, Service and Delivery FEE
The total cost of your order includes the price of the product and tax, and a Service and Delivery fee. The Service and Delivery Fee helps us operate the Jostens platform and cover delivery costs. The Service Fee is a flat fee based on your order’s subtotal calculated after any promotion or discount is applied. We reserve the right to change the Service and Delivery Fee at any time and for any reason.
The returns, changes, and/or cancellations policy applicable to your purchased product(s) is located here (for each such product, the "Applicable Policy"), and you agree to the terms of the Applicable Policies.

Agreement to Arbitrate
You agree that any claim or dispute with or against us, whether related to this Agreement or otherwise, and any claim or dispute related to these Terms of Sale, this Property or any content, information or materials accessible on it, including the determination of the scope or applicability of this Agreement to Arbitrate, shall be determined by arbitration in the Minneapolis, Minnesota metropolitan area before a single arbitrator. The arbitration will be conducted in English. The arbitration shall be administered by JAMS pursuant to its Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures and in accordance with the Expedited Procedures in those Rules, or pursuant to JAMS' Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures, as modified by this Agreement to Arbitrate. If the value of the relief sought is $10,000 or less, either you or we may elect to have the arbitration conducted by telephone or based solely on written submissions, which election shall be binding on you and us (subject to the arbitrator's discretion to require an in-person hearing based on the circumstances or JAMS rules). Attendance at an in-person hearing may be made by telephone by you and/or us, unless the arbitrator requires otherwise. Judgment on the arbitrator's award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. This Agreement to Arbitrate shall not preclude parties from seeking provisional remedies in aid of arbitration from a court of appropriate jurisdiction, and shall not apply to (i) a claim relating to the enforcement or validity of intellectual property rights; (ii) a claim relating to an allegation of theft, piracy, or unauthorized use; or (iii) a claim for injunctive relief.
You and we both agree that (a) each of us can only bring claims against the other on an individual basis and there shall be no authority for any claims to be arbitrated on a class or representative basis; (b) arbitration can decide only your and/or our individual claims, and the arbitrator may award relief (including monetary, injunctive, and declaratory relief) only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief necessitated by that party's individual claim(s); and (c) the arbitrator may not consolidate or join the claims of other persons or parties who may be similarly situated and may not otherwise preside over any form of a consolidated, representative, or class proceeding.
You agree further that: (a) the arbitrator shall apply Minnesota law consistent with the Federal Arbitration Act and applicable statutes of limitations, including principles of equity, and shall honor claims of privilege recognized at law; (b) the arbitrator shall not be bound by rulings in prior arbitrations involving us, but is bound by rulings in prior arbitrations involving both you and us to the extent required by applicable law; (c) in the event that you are able to demonstrate that the costs of arbitration will be prohibitive as compared to the costs of litigation, we will pay as much of your filing and hearing fees in connection with the arbitration as the arbitrator deems necessary to prevent the arbitration from being cost-prohibitive; and (d) Any arbitrator award may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.
