Key Points:
Gift Policy indicates: "Note that the annual per-person limits, when applied to tangible property gifts, do not include incidental costs, such as costs for engraving, packaging, insurance, sales tax, mailing and the cost of gift wrapping that do not add substantial value to a gift"
Many journals like to purchase swag or other journal merch for their members. This can include shirts, mugs, sweatshirts, etc. These types of purchase MUST be paid for directly by the Journal Administrator; they cannot be purchased by you out of pocket and then reimbursed.
When placing your order with the vendor, make certain to include my name as a contact on the order (in addition to your own). All licensed vendors must submit the order for review by the University's Licensing Manager. They will only be approved if the orders are shown to have been submitted by and paid for by a UC staff person (me). If you do not take this step, your design will likely get kicked back
Swag may only be purchased from approved UC Berkeley licensed vendors (see below for list). Journals must set up payment using a purchase order by requesting the order through the Journal Administrator with a licensed vendor. In addition to the order information, we will require that you provide a list of all students receiving the gift.
MAXIMUM AMOUNTS: Please also be aware that there is a $75 per student, per semester, per student organization cap on swag and a $300 total per semester cap on the total monetary value of gifts that a student may receive.
