Customer Care at 877-670-8641, Monday through Friday (excluding holidays), 8:00
a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Central Time or email at cc@prospectdigital.com. Our
Customer Satisfaction and Refund Policy is as follows:
One-Time Set-Up Fee: This fee covers some of the expenses
associated with initial configuration and delivery your portal. This fee is
non-refundable.
Monthly Service Fee: Once charged to your Credit Card,
the Monthly Service Fee is non-refundable. Should you wish to discontinue our
service, you are required to notify us by the last business day of the month to
avoid the monthly charge for the upcoming month. Notification must be in
writing via e-mail or received via facsimile.
Maximum web storage is 100MB per account without additional fees. Maximum number of stored email addresses is
300 without additional fees.
Print Orders (Newsletters and Cards): Orders will be printed and mailed in accordance with the data contained in your PD Holding Group, LLC database. You are responsible for the accuracy of addressing information contained in your database, for the selection of individual contacts annotated to receive printed orders, and for selecting a mailing date (for those mailing types where the user can do so) that takes into account any possible delays: compliance review (for securities-licensed PD Holding Group, LLC users), Sundays and holidays where mail is not delivered and postal delays.
A mailing order may not be cancelled after it has the job status of "Sent to Printer", "Printed" or "Mailed." Refer to your Market Printing Queue or Email Queue for the status of your jobs. Make sure that you proof your mailing online as well as print it and proof it, before submitting the job for printing. If you are working with one of our Customer Care representatives to finalize your mailing, final proofing of the job is still your responsibility. If you request that one of our representatives actually finalize and submit the job for compliance review/printing, you are responsible for the final approval. Prospect Digital is not responsible for any errors or mistakes due to the lack of review on your part in your Printing or Email Queue. It is your responsibility to preview the job in your Printing or Email Queue to insure the job is accurate. You must make edits prior to the job status changing to "Sent to Printer," "Printed" or "Mailed." Recurring jobs such as Newsletter of the Month, annual review, birthday and anniversary cards are set up once by you and then are scheduled to print automatically until you delete the MAIN setup job (versus the subsequent SUB-JOBS) from the Market Printing Queue. If you delete the main job, any sub-job that has the status of "Sent to Printer", "Printed" or "Mailed" will still be printed and you will be billed accordingly. After that, no new sub-jobs will be generated.
