When performing mailings for not-for-profit customers, IMI is not responsible for content in mailed materials which causes a customer to lose their Nonprofit Status.
All direct mail handling and processing involves spoilage. Spoilage of up to three (3) percent of customer’s material is typical. Allowances for spoilage should be taken into consideration in ordering material.Every effort will be made to handle customer’s material with frugality and to prevent undue spoilage.
