3. Content
You acknowledge that given the automated self-service nature of Digital Printive's site, Digital Printive is not able to review all images and designs that are uploaded to the site. However, Digital Printive shall have the right, but is not obligated, to review, reject, and/or remove any content that is available via the site. Upon placing any order through the site, or making designs available for sale, you acknowledge that Digital Printive may review your work to ensure it aligns with our guidelines and compliance with the terms and conditions set forth in these Terms.

Digital Printive shall have the right to remove Content and/or suspend user accounts that violate these Terms. Digital Printive reserves the right to amend the Terms and its policies described above from time to time at its sole discretion.
You acknowledge and agree that you are responsible for the creation and compilation of your Content, and that neither Digital Printive nor any other party involved in manufacturing assumes that responsibility. Digital Printive's services of production of any material depicting your design shall be pursuant to your order and specification. Digital Printive shall merely function as a printer of such products. Digital Printive's production of any product depicting your designs does not imply that Digital Printive accepts, approves, or endorses your work, or that your work complies with applicable laws, or that you are absolved of any liability or harm arising from the use of your work.
By posting your designs on this site and choosing to make it public, other websites or parties are able to copy and re-post your work, including without limitation, approved third-party websites that have access to the site (discussed in Privacy Policy section below). You agree to hold Digital Printive harmless for any dispute concerning this use.

You hereby agree to waive any claims against Digital Printive and its affiliates, contractors, agents, third party service providers and employees (collectively, "Representatives") for losses, damages and injuries which are based on or relate to communications or materials made available to the site or posted on the site, including other designs, by other users and persons other than Digital Printive or its Representatives.
You represent and warrant that all contact and personal information provided to Digital Printive during the registration process and otherwise shall be accurate and complete. If there are any changes to your contact information, you shall promptly update your registration information with the site's database.
4. Quality and Variations of Service
You agree and understand that when providing your design for production, Digital Printive can only reproduce artwork based on the file that has been provided. When providing your content for production, you acknowledge that the file has been approved by you for manufacturing use and is suitable for print. This relates to the scale the artwork is set to, the quality of pixels in the image, and a reasonable understanding of the outcomes and related limitations of a digital file being printed onto a textile.
You are responsible for ensuring the provision of files is the correct format appropriate for production. Including, but not limited to, correct scale, orientation, singulation of layers, and correct spacing. Please be aware that files are printed with no spacing between, and we advise you carefully review your designs. If your design requires a border/gap/spacing, please ensure that is reflected in your file. Details of accepted file formats are available on the site. Digital Printive will not take responsibility for any changes that have been made by Digital Printive to your files at your request. By providing files for production, you acknowledge that you have full ownership, permissions, or licensing rights to reproduce and replicate a print/artwork/design/drawing/illustration.
Digital Printive will to the best of their ability reproduce your content onto your selected textile to achieve the best possible colour match. By printing files with Digital Printive, you are accepting print colour will have variation from screen to textile and not all colours can be printed. Colour variation from monitor to the printed fabric is inevitable as each monitor displays a different version of a colour.
Digital Printive recommends using a textile for your content's production from the list of stock fabrics available on the site. It is recommended that clients undertake a test print before committing to larger quantities.
For orders over 50 metres, it is your responsibility to contact Digital Printive with your contact information and complete a large order request form. If you do not follow the above process, Digital Printive will contact you directly to collect your contact information, confirm your order, and ask you to complete a large order request form. You understand and agree it is your responsibility to ensure all printed fabric is suitable for its intended application and meets the specific quality standards including, for example, colour fastness, wash fastness, rub fastness, and to establish appropriate care instructions and labelling.
Digital Printive's selection of fabrics may have subtle imperfections inherent to textile manufacturing, whether in yarn, weave, or dye finishing processes. Our fabrics have been selected due to their high quality and performance when test printed. There may be circumstances where faults in the fabric, fabric preparation, or printing have occurred and not been noticed prior to shipping. Digital Printive cannot guarantee that subtle imperfections will not be included in any given fabric order. These subtle imperfections include but are not limited to fluff, slubbing, yarn thickness variation, fibre cross pollution presenting variation in yarn colour, skew, and off-grain at selvage. If you have an artwork that will not accommodate natural fabric imperfections that cannot be mitigated against, please contact Digital Printive directly to receive an appropriate recommendation.
5. Production Turnaround
Digital Printive provides itself with a fourteen (14) to twenty-one (21) day timeframe to manufacture your order. Digital Printive will use all reasonable endeavours and means to carry out the services in the agreed timeframe but will not be held liable for delays or other failures to perform that result from events or circumstances beyond reasonable control, including but not limited to supplier delays, equipment failures, natural disasters, or public health emergencies. Please be aware if you delay or fail to provide agreed resources, information, or services to Digital Printive relative to your order, the above timeframe is void. Digital Printive will communicate with you in writing the required information paramount to completion of your order and establish an appropriate timeframe for completion.
