We recommend the use of a credit card to facilitate rapid fulfillment of your order, but you may also use a company check, money order, or wire transfers if you choose. Please be aware that forms of payment that require funds to clear into our account can delay your order. We will not ship orders until our bank has cleared your funds.
Credit Cards
The majority of our customers prefer to pay for their orders by credit card. GeekTechBranding.com accepts Visa, MasterCard, Discover and American Express. We do not recommend submitting your credit card information via email. You can call in or fax your card information to us, or use your credit card online on our secured server when placing your order. When providing credit card information, please include your order number, the type of card, the card number, the expiration date and your full name and billing address as it appears on the card.
When paying by credit card, you will be charged 100% of the amount stated on your Order Acknowledgment plus an estimate of the shipping charge and set up charges. Once the order is shipped, any balance due or credit owed will be charged or refunded to your card as appropriate.
Information regarding account number and expiration dates as well as authorized signatures will be held entirely confidential by GeekTechBranding.com and its representatives.

Credit Card Fraud Prevention Policy
Credit Card Fraud is one of the fastest growing financial crimes in the United States. Because of this, GeekTechBranding.com has put in place this fraud prevention policy, to protect both the cardholder and Geek Tech Branding, Inc.
Individuals and/or companies ordering services should be aware that GeekTechBranding.com captures certain information concerning orders for service, including but not limited to time, date, IP address and other information which may be used to locate and identify individuals attempting to commit or committing theft of service by means of Credit/Debit Card fraud.
Geek Tech Branding, Inc. reserves the right to require photo identification and signature confirmation, etc., before we process any credit card order. If we request a valid form of photo identification or any other piece of necessary information, and do not receive it back within a specified amount of time, we will terminate your order.
It is the policy of Geek Tech Branding, Inc. to report all forms of Credit/Debit Card fraud and/or attempted Credit/Debit Card fraud to the appropriate legal authorities, regardless of country of origin, and to vigorously prosecute individuals and/or companies that commit Credit/Debit Card fraud by means of charge-backs, use of fraudulent Credit/Debit Cards or other forms of Credit/Debit Card fraud.
If we notice any unusual activity on your account, we’ll attempt to contact you to verify the charges and get your approval before allowing any additional activity. If you suspect that fraudulent charges have been placed on your credit card, or someone has used your personal information to commit theft, you are encouraged to please call.
Once received and verified, all hard copies of the documents will be shredded and disposed of in a secure facility.
Purchase Orders
A purchase order (PO) is a commercial document issued by a buyer (your company) to a seller (Geek Tech Branding), indicating the type, quantities and agreed prices for products or services the seller will provide to the buyer. Sending a PO to a supplier constitutes a legal offer to buy products or services. Acceptance of a PO by a seller usually forms a one-time contract between the buyer and seller. No contract exists until a signed PO is accepted by the seller (Geek Tech Branding).
Purchase Orders are generally issued by large corporations, schools, and government agencies or clients that we have had a continued working relationship with. By submitting a PO, you are merely stating that you are agreeing to pay for the products you are ordering. The PO itself does not constitute payment.
Corporate Accounts
We will be happy to set up a corporate account. Credit review may take 7 to 10 business days and production will not begin on orders until the review process is complete. If your order is urgent, please use a credit card or call us to make other arrangements.
Check Returns
In all cases where we have a check returned for insufficient funds we will assess a $35.00 NSF fee.
Net 30 Terms
If you are granted payment terms, you agree that if you are late paying your invoice, a 1.5% finance charge or the maximum charge permitted by law may be assessed against all accounts with past due balances. You agree to pay all the company’s reasonable attorney’s fees and all collection agency fees incurred in the collection of any amount owed hereunder and not paid when due.
PMS Matching
PMS or Pantone Color Matching is available on many Items for an additional fee. Factory will make every effort to closely match any PMS color. Due to item materials an exact match cannot be guaranteed, especially on metallic and non-white products.
Rush Service
If you are working on a very tight deadline, please check out our rush service section, which lists a wide selection of products that can be produced and delivered to a carrier for shipment within 3 business days. You could also call us for personal assistance. Please note that you must consider delivery time when figuring out when you will receive your order. We will work to ensure that your order will leave the factory on time according to the shipping method that you specify. Rush orders often incur additional charges and you may be required to limit the complexity of your artwork. For rush orders, you must submit your art by email, and it must be in vectored EPS or AI file format with text converted to curves. That will prevent any issues in case we do not have your specific font in our library.
On Rush orders under 5 days, we will most likely not have time to send a proof. Therefore we must interpret your art requirements to the best of our knowledge and cannot be held responsible for miscommunications. If we have questions, we will most certainly try to reach out to you. However, with tight time constraints, we must interpret your instructions as best we can.
If your item is not available in our section, we may still be able to produce the item by your deadline. Rush orders and going beyond the call of duty are our specialty and we enjoy the challenge of delivering the impossible. If you are interested in placing a rush order please contact us at robert@GeekTechBranding.com or call us at 512-507-4709. In most cases, there will be an additional rush charge added to your order.
Shipping Information
We endeavor to ship your products to your desired destination by the most economical means given your specified date and production limitations. This is typically UPS Ground or Fedex Ground. In some cases where product is extremely heavy, another common carrier may be used.
All orders are shipped FOB (freight on board) factory. All goods become your property at the time they are accepted by the carrier. We guarantee that your items will leave the factory on or before the ship date specified on our Order Acknowledgment. Once the goods leave the factory, we cannot be held responsible for loss or delay by common carrier, international or US Customs departments or by “acts of God”, acts of terrorism, or any other cause beyond our control. We will typically notify you with tracking information within 24 hours of shipment. If you have any questions or problems, please call customer care at 512-507-4709 for assistance.
We are able to ship to most locations in the US and abroad, although individual carriers have restrictions regarding PO and APO boxes.
All orders will be shipped using the GeekTechBranding.com account and billed with your order at rates for that carrier. If you prefer to use your own account, we can accommodate you. Please provide us with the carrier name and your account number either via email or in the ‘additional instructions’ section of the order form. If you choose to use your own account, you will be solely responsible for insuring your shipment.
Factory shipment or delivery dates are the best estimates of our suppliers, and in no case shall Geek Tech Branding be liable for any consequential or special damages arising from any delay in delivery. If your shipment is damaged or lost in transit, you will be responsible for the full invoiced amount of the items.

Proposition 65
California’s Proposition 65 entitles California consumers to special warnings for products that contain chemicals known to the state of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm if those products expose consumers to such chemicals above certain threshold levels. The “Prop 65” warnings are only required under California law. Prop 65 standards are among the most stringent standards in place anywhere and are often far more stringent than federal standards. Warnings included on items containing regulated chemicals will include warnings such as:
WARNING: This product contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. Such a warning may be adhered to a product with stickers or tags depending upon the product material. If you have any question about Proposition 65 warning labels please feel free to contact us.
