Products
Products offered on the website constitute a selection of those which are presented in The Paper Store’s retail stores. If you wish to avail yourself of a broader choice, you are invited to visit a The Paper Store Retail Store. The products on the website are presented with the greatest precision in order to fulfill the provisions of the U.S. Federal Trade Commission Act, which stipulate the necessity for the customer to be aware before the final order of the essential characteristics of the items which he or she wishes to purchase. If, in spite of all the care taken by The Paper Store, there are inaccuracies in the presentation on the website, The Paper Store shall in no event incur any liability therefor.

Return & Cancellation Policy
For all returns and cancellations, please see our Return & Cancellation Policy.
Prices
Prices are firm and final. They are expressed in U.S. dollars. All taxes are included in the summary of the order. The Paper Store reserves the right to modify prices at any time, without notice and without any other formality except to incorporate the modifications into the website, but items ordered are invoiced at the price displayed at the time the order was placed. Despite our best efforts, a small number of the items on the website may be mispriced. If an item’s correct price is higher than our stated price, we will, at our discretion, either contact you for instructions before shipping or cancel your order and notify you of such cancellation. The Paper Store reserves the right to limit quantities. All shipping costs are invoiced in addition, and indicated on the summary of the order before its final approval by you. We encourage you to print and maintain a copy of your purchase order for your records.
Payment, expressed in US Dollars, shall be made exclusively online through the website via MasterCard, Visa, American Express, or Discover. The Paper Store does NOT charge your credit card until after your order has entered the shipping process.
Limitations on Quantity
The Paper Store does not offer additional discounts on large orders of a single item or on large orders of many individual items. In addition, we reserve the right to limit quantities on orders placed by the same account, on orders placed by the same credit card, and on orders that use the same billing or shipping address. We will notify you if such limits are applied.
Orders
A guided search allows you to find a selection of items from the The Paper Store’s collection on the website and then to make your choice from this selection in order to place your order. Your order is carried out in three steps:
1. The first step consists of approval – by you – of the articles chosen for your order.
To avoid two simultaneous orders for the same item, The Paper Store verifies, at the time of the approval of the order, the precise availability of the items chosen and sets them aside.
2. The second step consists of your entry of the necessary pieces of identification and other information required for the execution of the order, namely, in particular, the following items: name, complete delivery address, payment information and billing address.
To that end, you may create an ‘account’ identified by your e-mail address and a password chosen by you, or you may check out as a guest, without creating an account. If you have already ordered from the website and created an account, these pieces of identification and other information will have been saved; you will then need to call up your account (by inputting your e-mail address and password); once connected to your account, you may, if necessary, modify any information.
3. The third step consists of the final approval of the order.
You are presented with a summary of the order – valid and binding as a purchase order – including all items selected, delivery, payment information and billing addresses, the total amount of the said items, taxes, and shipping and handling costs. At this point, you will verify the summary of the order and make, if desired, any modifications to it. After such modifications, you will be presented with a new summary of the order so modified. Any order whether modified or not must receive final approval on the part of the customer, based on the summary described. This action is effected by clicking on the ‘confirm’ button. This click constitutes an electronic signature that has, between the parties, the same validity as a handwritten name. The Paper Store commits to preparing the order in the shortest possible time. You will be advised of the shipment of the order via e-mail.
Shipment
Items may be delivered by UPS or USPS. Any delivery times provided on the website are estimates only. Exceeding these times shall in no event be held against The Paper Store or give rise to any cancellation of the contract or to any indemnity whatsoever for damages and interest. The risk of loss and title for such items pass to you upon The Paper Store’s delivery to the shipper. Items are always shipped at the risk of the customer, who must check their good condition at delivery. Any problem concerning delivery (damaged parcels, items missing from The Paper Store invoice accompanying them, etc.) must be brought to the attention of The Paper Store within a reasonable time by contacting The Paper Store Customer Service at 1-844-480-7100 or by email. See necessary contact information at the end of these Terms of Use.
AVAILABILITY, ERRORS, AND INACCURACIES
If an item is out of stock, The Paper Store may, in its sole discretion and at no extra cost to you, substitute another item for the out-of-stock item if The Paper Store, in its sole discretion, determines that the identical brand and product is available in a form that is of equal or greater value, for example, larger quantity, packaged with a trial sample, or with updated product packaging.
The Paper Store’s acknowledgement of an order means that your order request has been received; it does not mean that your order has been accepted or shipped or that the price or availability of an item has been confirmed. The Paper Store makes a conscientious effort to describe and display its products and services accurately on the Site. Despite these efforts, a small number of items on the Site may be mispriced, described inaccurately, or unavailable, and we may experience delays in updating information on the Site and in our advertising on other sites. As a result, we cannot and do not guarantee the accuracy or completeness of any information, including prices, product images, specifications, availability, and services. The Paper Store reserves the right to change or update information and to correct errors, inaccuracies, or omissions at any time without prior notice. We apologize for any inconvenience. As part of our shipping procedures, we verify the availability and the price before an item is shipped. If an item’s correct price is lower than our stated price, we will charge the lower amount and ship you the item. If an item’s correct price is higher than our stated price, if the item is no longer available, or if we determine that there were inaccuracies in our product information, we will cancel your order and notify you of such cancellation via email.
