Terms of Service

Overview of Art of Where and Limitations of our Services

Art of Where is an on demand manufacturer of custom printed products. We print products to order with artwork submitted by individuals around the world. We print on fabrics, paper, polymer cases, wood, and other mediums and we offer drop ship and wholesale services. Each of our products are made by hand and variations may occur within an order, or from one order to another. We are constantly working on minimizing these discrepancies so your products print as accurately as possible every time.

Access to Services

In order to have access to our drop ship services, you must sign up for an account with us and agree to the terms and conditions as outlined. You may order products without having an account in which case consent to the terms and conditions is implied and still apply to all orders. Product designs cannot be saved unless you have an account with us.

Printing Variations

Print variations can and will occur when printing artwork onto various fabrics and surfaces like we do.

Variations that may occur within an order or from one order to another include but are not limited to:

  1. Image placement on the product. Placement of your image on the product may vary piece to piece. Some variations may be small and others may be noticeable.
  2. Discrepancies between the online Design Lab tool and the final product can occur. The Design Lab provides an approximation of the final product. For clothing products, you are designing a size LARGE in the Design Lab. When we generate the other sizes, the artwork placement will be different. Refer to the text safe areas indicated in the Design Lab so as not to lose important details of your artwork. For all concerns relating to image placement, please contact us.
  3. The colour outcome of your printed product will differ from your original art for many reasons including the following:
    1. Monitor differences. All monitors vary in colour representation. It is beyond our control to match your monitor settings.
    2. Colour gamut limitations of our printers. Our print processes have different ranges of colour they can reproduce. We need to translate your artwork using our software into the colour range of our printers. Colours in your artwork that are outside of our achievable gamut will be replaced with the closest colour we can print. Neon colours, for example, are not printable by our systems.
    3. We offer a very large range of fabrics to print on. Each fabric has different print results even when subject to the same print process. Some fabrics absorb ink quickly while others are more dense. The base fabrics are all different in their degree of white. Characteristics like these can cause variations in the final product colours.
    4. Quality of the submitted artwork. Low quality artwork files will not print as accurately as high resolution images. Please follow our design guidelines when creating your artwork print files.
    5. Colour space. We ask for images to be submitted in sRGB. Images set up in other colour spaces will translate incorrectly when printed. Our Design Labs attempt to approximate the print colours so if you do upload a CMYK file, the colours will look wrong in the lab.
  4. Art of Where has a hands-off printing system. This means that all incoming artwork files are sent directly to our printing equipment. We do not check for print quality including pixelation before printing. Please refer to our design guidelines when setting up your artwork and make sure it is in the correct colour space and file format. We are not responsible for reprinting items due to poor quality artwork or incorrectly made files.
  5. Small shadowing or ghosting can occur when areas of light colour are right beside areas of dark colour. Shadowing is when the dark colour overhangs or smudges slightly onto the lighter colour. Some shadowing is expected during printing in some situations.

Sewing Imperfections

Occasionally a product may have a sewing defect like a hole, caught fabric, or incorrectly secured stitches. A sewing defect is a flaw in the sewing that makes the product unusable for its intended purpose (like wearing). Report any defects as outlined below.

Flaws in non-textile products

We have a wide range of printed products beyond clothing. If you receive a product that is flawed mechanically (not a print colour issue) please report your concern as outlined below.

Reporting a Concern

  • Contact us with detailed photos of the issue and include the order number.
  • We will try to respond within 48 hrs. We may request additional information.
  • All issues will be evaluated on a case by case basis using the information provided.

Refunds

Custom printed products are non-refundable. Products with mechanical issues or defaults are usually reprinted and replaced. Please contact us with your concerns and we will handle each concern individually.

Drop Ship Orders and Customer Service

When Art of Where fulfills a drop ship order, we are providing our customer (the person paying for the product) with a finished product shipped directly to their end user (the person intended to use the product). We ask that our customers maintain the relationships with their end users as much as possible. This is done by providing timely and accurate information to your customers. If an end user has an issue with the product they receive there is a 4 step process for resolution:

  1. Request photos from your customer that can be forwarded to us to illustrate the problem.
  2. Please evaluate if the issue falls into our allowable range of variations in regards to colour or image placement on the product. If it does, educate your customer as to the limitations of on-demand printing.
  3. If the issue is beyond our print limitations, contact us and include the order number and pictures of the concern provided by your end user.
  4. We will evaluate the issues and may require more information. We will try our best to respond within 48 hours of receiving your email.

Customs Fees, Duties, and Shipment Delays

Art of Where ships worldwide with Canada Post, USPS, and various courier services. Tracking numbers will be provided for shipments whenever possible. Any additional costs or customs fees occurring from shipments (both domestic or international) are not the responsibility of Art of Where. International orders under $100 do not have tracking.

Please contact your local post office if you are unsure of the customs, duties, or expected transit times for your country.

Art of Where allows our customers to request alternative and express shipping methods such as UPS or DHL at an additional cost. Please contact us if you would like to use an upgraded shipping method for your order and we will arrange it if possible.

Shipments delayed by the shipping service are beyond our control and personal costs resulting from delayed shipments are not the responsibility of Art of Where. We commit to shipping your order in a timely manner, doing our best to respect our estimated production times. Occasionally, an order takes longer than predicted due to various reasons including reprints, low inventory, out of stock fabric or technical issues. We will try to contact you if there is a severe delay on your order.

Artwork Rights, Reproduction, and Photographs

All artwork appearing on Art of Where remains the property of the artist who created and uploaded it. By uploading artwork on our website, you are giving Art of Where the right to reproduce the artwork. We print the artwork and manufacture the product to represent the design created in our Design Lab. If an artist deletes products they have designed on Art of Where, we will no longer manufacture the deleted product. We cannot guarantee that images/mockups of a deleted artwork will cease appearing online even after we remove all links associated with it on our end (ex. Google image search).

Artwork files are stored on protected servers and are only accessed through secure encrypted connections. For production, the files are transferred to a local server so that they can be sent to the printers and stored temporarily. Once the item has shipped, the files are deleted.

Art of Where reserves the right to produce and photograph products that appear in the Art of Where artist stores online for promotional purposes without informing the artist. These photos may be used on our website, social media, in videos, or other outlets and 3rd party websites. Art of Where will credit the artists involved if possible. If a product featured in a photo is deleted by the artist after the photos have been posted, it is not mandatory that we remove the photos. Only products that appear in the artist stores (available to the public) may be photographed.

Time to time we take photos of our production studio. These photos will include pieces of unfinished products with artwork printed on them. We reserve the right to post these photos on our website and social media without implication or without seeking consent first.

If you have concerns with any photos posted on Art of Where or our social media please get in touch with our customer service or email [email protected].

Flawed products and Misprints

Sometimes we have products that are incorrectly printed and do not pass our quality control processes. In order to reduce our impact on the environment we donate imperfect finished products to shelters, schools, reserves, and daycares. We never donate products to an institution that would sell them and we specify to the receiver that the products can never be resold.

In Closing…

Our goal at Art of Where is to make high quality printed products using the latest in print technology and construction methods. There is a certain amount of variability when printing custom items that is reasonable and acceptable. Our terms and conditions are in place to help define an effective working relationship with our customers. We thank you for trusting Art of Where with your printed artwork projects and we look forward to showing you what we can do.
