All custom orders will receive an electronic proof as a representation of what your finished project could look like. Keep in mind, these are computer generated simulations and the finished project may appear slightly different. Up to two (2) revisions will be allotted without additional art charges. Approving your proof for production also indicates you have reviewed the order details as well as our Terms of Service.

If you elect to forgo your proof and order review, you accept the final print along with the order details as is – and left to our discretion.

Blank apparel is ordered once proof is approved and payment has been received – unless otherwise noted.

We utilize several of the leading suppliers and distributors of quality blank apparel which offer first run quality items. We do not print on second-hand / irregular apparel. The time frame in which we receive blank apparel is dependent on how soon suppliers can process and fulfill orders. We have no control over their practices as well as shipping/transit times by carriers. We suggest placing your order with enough time to account for any possible delays.

We hold no responsibly for these types of delays.

Pricing is based on numerous factors, which include garment selection, print type and quantity ordering. Pricing reflects the blank apparel cost at the time you place the order. Pricing may be a different on re-orders due to increase/decrease in cost set by the suppliers.

We have no control over a supplier’s pricing structure.

Any deviations requested from our normal services are the sole responsibility of the customer to inform us upon requesting a quote or placing an order. We encourage you to thoroughly review your proof in it’s entirety for spelling, layout, ink/thread colors used, etc. Failure to review our Terms of Service or the details of your proof/order summary are at your sole descension.

During times of high volume or certain types of orders, Emotionz Graphix & Apparel may outsource apparel decoration orders to third party contractors for fulfillment. This is normal practice to better service our customers.

We make every effort to meet ordering deadlines for our customers whenever possible. However, certain situations may present a challenge and out of our control. Although we do offer rush service, we encourage you to allow ample time for your order to be processed, avoiding any issues and delays. Placing an order with Emotionz Graphix & Apparel does not constitute as a contract for a guaranteed production completion date, as we offer no such agreement. Your completion date is provided as an estimated production period. Some situations out of our control and may include the following:

1): Processing / arrival of blank goods from our suppliers in order for us to print your order.

2): Artwork delays. Remember, production can not begin until all artwork is approved by the customer.

3): Shipping and Transit times. We ship orders via USPS, UPS and FEDEX. We have no control over delays and delivery schedule changes made by shipping carriers or acts of nature.

All orders and quote requests made after 3 p.m. (EST) may be processed the next business day – depending on our volume.

We typically do not print on customer supplied apparel for many reasons. Garments available directly to apparel decorators are specifically produced and manufactured to be printed on – being free from chemicals and hard detergents used for retail sold items. We can not guarantee quality of the print on other purchased items, so we don’t offer this as an option. Also, you generally aren’t at any cost savings advantage in providing your own garments.

Rest assured, you are getting the absolute best pricing available on apparel when placing an order with Emotionz Graphix & Apparel.

In the rare case we do print on customer supplied garments, Emotionz Graphix & Apparel holds no responsibility to unpredictable print results and/or garment discoloration/damage. We do our best to provide high quality prints in every order. The customer acknowledges this and releases Emotionz Graphix & Apparel form any financial liability or poor practices.

We do not replace customer supplied garments in the event of damage or unpredictable print results.

We reserve the right to substitute out of stock items with that of equal value and quality.

Quotes are valid for a period of 5 – 7 business days. After that time, a new quote must be issued.

After you receive your online quote and payment has been made, your order is moved into the design phase. Here is where our design team works on your logo/design. If you submitted hi-resolution artwork, we will ensure it meets our quality standards to achieve the best print possible. If we are creating a logo/design, you will work with our designers to bring your creative ideas to life.

From there, you will receive an online proof of your design. We allow up to three (3) revisions without any additional charge. Once you approve the design, it’s off to production. See current production times posted on our website.

We carry a wide selection of stock ink colors and embroidery threads to choose from. When viewing swatches of print/thread colors, keep in mind these are for reference only, as everyone’s computer monitor, mobile device or home printer may display these colors a bit differently.

There are also many factors than can affect the final print color/results which include printing on dark colors, fabric type and blend – which is normal. If you have a specific color match (PMS), it is the responsibility of the customer to inform us during the quote/ordering process so we can account for those details. Otherwise, we will utilize our standard production colors.

For specific ink colors not listed on our standard production charts, there is a $30/per color/per location charge to mix/create these colors for your project.The customer must provide their Pantone Color values. Please inform us during the quote process your need for a specific color request. Custom colors/PMS matching are not available for embroidery threads. We carry a vast assortment of thread colors to choose from.

It is the customer’s responsibility to discuss PMS Color Matching when requesting a quote or placing an order with us.

For team apparel or garment personalization, we utilize professional heat applied vinyl or heat applied materials unless otherwise specified. All our heat applied materials are child safe and meet CPSIA guidelines.

During production, it is not uncommon for some printed items to be less than perfect (spoilage). This is a normal part of production, as every garment decorated is done by hand. We allow for up to 2%-3% spoilage rate.

Spoilage is a normal part of production. We do take every effort to minimize this. Some garments which are hard to decorate may yield a higher spoilage rate. Again, this is normal.

All payments must be made in advance prior to the start of the design and production of your order – unless otherwise specified. This is typically after you receive a quote, payment is requested. Due to the customization nature of our business, we can not issue refunds once production has begun or from mistakes in design / layout approved by the customer. Ensuring the proof provided is correct is the sole responsibility of the customer.

Refunds will be honored for manufacturing defects in the product or mistakes made by Emotionz Graphix & Apparel. For damages sustained in shipping/ transit (by the shipping carrier), please contact us for assistance. Ultimately, you will need to file a claim with the shipping carrier. All claims must be made within 5 business days of receipt of goods to be valid. No exceptions. We will not honor claims after this time period.

In the event of returned checks/payments due to insufficient funds or non-payment, you (the customer) agree to be held 100% liable for all outstanding balances, accrued fees, late fees and any legal/court costs.

Emotionz Graphix & Apparel may update these Terms of Service as needed. It is the sole responsibly of the customer to review these terms upon placing an order.

Pre-production samples can be at a tremendous cost to our customers. There is a lot of work and labor involved to create samples. We offer renderings of your project, in lieu of actual sample items – as a visual reference to show what your finished apparel could look like.

If pre-production samples are requested, pricing will include all artwork, production, setup and apparel costs for the sample order. Pre-production sample costs are separate and not applied to the pricing when placing your actual order.

Pre-production samples are not available on custom embroidered hats or team apparel.

Emotionz Graphix & Apparel does not stock apparel. We can not stock every style, size, color of all garments. We would be in the warehousing business, not apparel decorating.

For orders placed, blank apparel is ordered from our suppliers or direct from the manufacturer. This is typical practice for a majority of screen printers and apparel decorators. This is accounted for in your estimated production time you are given to complete your order.

We are not responsible for garments that shrink after being washed/laundered. Please adhere to the recommended wash/dry instructions on the actual garment tags along with that listed here (see “garment care” section). When selecting garments, please note the manufactures data listed.

Emotionz Graphix & Apparel does not manufacture the garments. We are the apparel decorators. For issues with your print, please contact us.

Important Tips:

• All cotton garments will shrink in the dryer. Some more than others, depending on the manufacturer.

• Pay attention to the size charts. Some garment styles are more form fitting than others.

This should not deter you from ordering cotton garments by any means. These types of garments require specific care.

While we do allow in most cases to mix/match garment colors, styles and brands – please keep in mind not all colors are uniform.

Example: A navy blue cotton t-shirt from Gildan is a different shade of navy blue compared to a Bella Canvas brand.

Also, a cotton shirt color will be different compared to a cotton/poly blend version.

Emotionz Graphix & Apparel is not responsible for color matching of garments of different types – as we do not manufacture the garments. We suggest ordering the same style/brand and color if you are concerned about the shirt colors matching.

Wait at least 24 hours before the first wash. This allows the ink/decoration methods used to settle into the garment.

Follow the care instructions to get the most out of your apparel. We suggest line drying of all printed garments, as placing items in the dryer causes the materials to fade and fray over time. We are not responsible for garment/print issues from not following recommended wash and care instructions.
