Ordering Giclee Prints

It is possible for you to order a giclee (ink-jet) print of any art work displayed at this web
site in a selection of sizes. The giclee print will have its title printed just below the lower left
corner of the art rectangle and a copyright notice of the artist printed just below the lower
right corner of the art rectangle. The giclee print will be also signed by the artist personally
just below the middle of the art rectangle.

The giclee print will be produced directly on acid-free paper using the best technology
available for accurate color reproduction. It will have a flat finish to eliminate any glare when
being viewed. It will be 100-year-archivable in quality and should last a lifetime if kept out of
direct sunlight.

Before ordering a giclee print of a displayed art work, please take the following steps to
obtain the least deviation of the displayed colors from the giclee printed production colors,
and thereby reduce your chances of any disappointment with the resulting giclee print.

     (1) If possible set your monitor to view the displayed print in true color (32-bit) mode.
          Viewing it in high color (16-bit) mode will cause some color distortion. Viewing it in
          256 color (8-bit) mode will cause both color distortion and graininess (dithering) in the
          colors displayed.

     (2) Make sure that the brightness control of your color monitor and all color settings are
          set to the midpoint position.

     (3) Be sure to view the larger image of the giclee print and any detailed close-up of a
          sample section of it that may be found on the giclee print's overview page.

     *** Please note that due to variations in the phosphor colors displayed by different
          computer monitors and to differences in the brightness and color controls of different
          computer monitors, you should allow for some minor differences in the colors
          appearing in the giclee print that you receive. This, unfortunately, is unavoidable. If you
          cannot tolerate minor differences in the colors appearing in the giclee print, you should
          not order a giclee print, since there can be no guarantee - and is no guarantee - that
          the giclee printed production colors will exactly match the colors that are displayed
          by your computer monitor.

Also before ordering a giclee print of a displayed art work, please take the following steps to
inquire if the work is still available for purchase.

     (1) Prepare an e-mail message which states clearly
              (a) the complete title of the giclee print,
              (b) your name,
              (c) the e-mail address to which we can reply regarding the work's status.

     (2) Send the e-mail message to: fredummingerjr@att.net

If the work is still available, we will automatically place the work on hold for you for a period
of two weeks to allow time for an order from you to reach us.

To place an order for a giclee print:

     (1) State clearly the complete title of the giclee print.

     (2) State clearly the paper dimensions of the giclee print size desired.

     (3) Provide the name and mailing address of the party to whom the giclee print is to be
          sent.

     (4) Calculate the price for the size of the giclee print you are ordering, including any
          applicable Missouri sales tax and any postage and insurance surcharges to
          addresses outside of the U.S.A. (For orders sent to addresses in the U.S.A.
          all postage and insurance costs are provided without additional charges.)

          For orders destined to within the state of Missouri, please add a 5.6% sales tax
          charge to the prices listed.

          For orders destined outside of the U.S.A. when any paper dimension of the
          giclee print exceeds 28 inches, please add a surcharge to the order total to cover
          additional postage and insurance in the amount of:
                    $4.00 (US funds) for orders destined to Canada
                    $17.00 (US funds) for orders destined to all other foreign countries

     (5) Include payment in the form of a cashiers check, money order or personal check in
          the amount due for the giclee print order (in US funds) made payable to:
                               Frederick W.Umminger, Jr.

     (6) Mail the order to: Frederick W. Umminger, Jr.
                                   11109 NW Walnut Creek Drive
                                   Parkville, MO 64152-3251
                                   U. S. A.

Please allow 3 to 5 weeks for delivery. Orders paid for with a personal check may be
delayed somewhat longer to allow for check clearance before the order is processed.

Giclee print orders will be sent by parcel air mail whenever feasible and will be fully insured
against any damage or loss. The giclee print will rolled up along its longer dimension in
order to minimize the length of the package shipped.

In case of damage, contact the delivering authority for the compensation provided by the
insurance and then submit another order for replacement of the damaged giclee print.

In case of loss, write to the ordering address above and include the name and mailing
address associated with the original order, so that the order can be located in our files. We
will contact the delivering authority and a replacement order will be sent as soon as the
delivering authority is satisfied with the evidence of loss.
