DISCLAIMER

Effective Date: June 15, 2026

The information, services, and physical merchandise provided by Print Theory are subject to the following comprehensive disclaimers. By accessing our website, obtaining a custom price quotation, or engaging us for commercial garment decoration, you acknowledge and agree to all terms stated below.

 

1. Website and Pricing Accuracy Disclaimer

While we make every reasonable effort to ensure that the content, apparel catalogs, product availability matrices, and digital pricing calculators on our website are accurate and up to date, inadvertent technical errors, structural price changes, or distributor supply delays may occur.

Print Theory reserves the explicit right to alter, update, or cancel pricing metrics, quote estimates, or product specifications at any time without prior notification. In the event that a typographical error or commercial catalog mistake results in an incorrectly priced project layout, Print Theory maintains the right to cancel or refuse any contract submitted under the inaccurate parameters.

 

2. Digital Mockups vs. Physical Apparel Reality

All digital proofs, computer-generated visual matrices, and vector layout graphics provided to clients via electronic communication act strictly as conceptual approximations of ink placement, design scale, and color balance. They are not absolute physical replicas.

Because computer screens, mobile display matrices, and tablet glass rely heavily on backlit RGB pixel values, individual monitor calibrations vary radically. Conversely, custom manufacturing and garment decoration utilize mixed physical ink pigments (such as Plastisol, Water-Based, or Discharge compounds) pressed into porous fabric structures. Consequently, Print Theory explicitly disclaims liability for slight color value variations between a client’s display screen and the raw printed ink texture. For clients requiring precise color consistency across batches, physical Pantone Matching System (PMS) color codes must be explicitly requested and written into the final purchase invoice.

 

3. Customer-Supplied Garments & Printing Risk

Print Theory prefers to source blank apparel directly from our trusted, certified commercial wholesale mill channels, where fabric performance and heat-curing parameters are strictly verified. If Print Theory agrees, in its sole discretion, to decorate physical garments or materials directly provided, brought in, or shipped by the customer, the transaction proceeds strictly at the customer’s own financial risk.

Commercial screen-printing dryers subject apparel to intense curing heat thresholds ranging between 320°F to 340°F. Unknown retail fabric blends, low-quality construction, chemical fabric softeners, or thin synthetic fibers supplied by clients can melt, scorch, discolor, fray, or experience extreme ink migration (dye bleeding) under these conditions. Print Theory disclaims all financial and operational liability for any damage, loss, or degradation sustained by customer-supplied apparel during the decoration sequence. We will not refund decoration fees, nor replace, reimburse, or pay for any customer-supplied items damaged during our standard operational workflow.

 

4. Apparel Matrix & Sizing Disclaimer

Print Theory acts exclusively as a custom apparel decorator and manufacturer. Because we source blank garments from premium third-party commercial mills and distributors, we cannot guarantee identical fitments across varying apparel styles, cuts, or brands.

    4.1 Customer Responsibility for Selection

It is the sole responsibility of the customer to verify sizing specifications, chest widths, and body lengths using the technical specification sheets provided by Print Theory prior to authorizing a manufacturing run. Customers acknowledge that fashion-forward, retail, or slim-fit lines (e.g., Next Level, Bella+Canvas) possess significantly narrower physical dimensions than standard promotional cuts (e.g., Gildan Ultra Cotton).

    4.2 Industry-Standard Sizing and Mill Tolerances

In accordance with global textile manufacturing standards, blank apparel items are subject to structural mill variances during fabric sewing. This variance allows for physical garment dimensions to fluctuate by up to ± 1.0 inch in total length or width from the brand’s published sizing grid. Print Theory cannot accept returns, issue credits, or re-manufacture apparel that falls within this accepted global limit.

    4.3 Fiber Composition and Post-Wash Shrinkage

Garments composed of 100% natural cotton fibers naturally contract when exposed to household washing and heat drying cycles. Depending on garment weight, custom orders can experience post-wash shrinkage ranging from 3% to 5%.

Print Theory explicitly disclaims all operational liability for shrinkage issues. To preserve print integrity and minimize garment contraction, clients are strictly advised to wash finished apparel inside-out in cold water and air-dry or tumble-dry on low heat settings.

 

5. Technical Execution & Placement Disclaimers

Screen printing requires human operators to manually load individual apparel units onto mechanical printing pallets. While our team applies rigorous attention to alignment matrices, an industry-standard variance of up to ± 0.75 inches in final graphic placement position (vertical, horizontal, or tilt alignment) is considered structurally acceptable.

Slight variances across garment sizes (such as a design sitting slightly higher on a Small versus an Extra Large) are structurally necessary to preserve proper visual scale across an order and are explicitly disclaimed from structural refunds or re-prints.

 

6. Third-Party Brand Warranties & Sizing Disclaimers

Print Theory does not manufacture the physical blank garments (such as t-shirts, hoodies, or activewear jackets) utilized across our custom printing contracts. Any warranties relating to structural garment durability, side-seam symmetry, thread unraveling, pocket construction, zipper performance, or catalog sizing standards are handled explicitly by the respective base manufacturer (e.g., Gildan, Hanes, Independent Trading Co., Bella+Canvas). Print Theory offers no independent structural warranties or post-decorating product guarantees regarding base garment fabric resilience.

 

7. Limitation of Liability

In no event shall Print Theory, its owners, operational officers, production staff, or affiliates be held liable for any indirect, incidental, special, exemplary, or consequential financial losses or damages. This includes, but is not limited to, lost business revenue, missed events, project launch delays, delayed organizational milestones, or commercial shipping carrier transit disruptions, regardless of whether Print Theory was notified of the possibility or timeline of such circumstances.
