By using our website, uploading any design, requesting design assistance, or placing an order, you agree to be legally bound by this Policy. If you do not agree with the terms herein, you must not use our services.

Customer Representations and Warranties

By submitting any content to DTFSheet.com, you represent, warrant, and affirm the following:

  • You are either the sole legal owner of, or have obtained all necessary licenses, permissions, and authorizations to use, reproduce, modify, and distribute any content submitted through our platform;
  • Your submitted content does not infringe or misappropriate any third-party rights, including but not limited to copyrights, trademarks, publicity rights, or rights of privacy;
  • You understand and accept full legal responsibility for all content you submit or request to be modified or printed, whether originally created by you or obtained from another party;

DTFSheet’s Role and Limitations

DTFSheet.com operates as an on-demand print and technical design assistance service. While we may offer formatting, resizing, color adjustments, or other non-substantive design changes upon request, you remain solely responsible for ensuring the final design’s legal compliance.

We do not initiate content creation and act only on your instructions. Accordingly, you expressly acknowledge and agree that DTFSheet.com shall not be liable for any claims, liabilities, damages, or losses arising from or relating to any content submitted, modified, or printed on your behalf.

Temporary Content Storage and Reorder Use

DTFSheet may retain copies of submitted content for a period of up to 60 days for the limited purpose of enabling customer support and facilitating reorder requests. During this retention period:

  • DTFSheet does not assert ownership over your content;
  • Content is stored securely and is not accessed or used for any purpose beyond fulfillment and customer service;
  • No rights are granted to DTFSheet beyond the limited license necessary to fulfill your original and follow-up orders.

If you wish to request early removal of your submitted content, you may email legal@dtfsheet.com with your order reference and a removal request.

Respect for Intellectual Property and Content Submission Standards

DTFSheet.com maintains a firm commitment to respecting intellectual property laws. By submitting content, you agree to not submit any content that you do not have full legal rights to use, reproduce, or distribute.

We reserve the right, in our sole discretion and without notice, to reject, remove, or decline to process any content that appears to infringe upon intellectual property rights, violate applicable law, or expose DTFSheet to legal risk. This right may be exercised regardless of whether a formal complaint or takedown notice has been received.

DTFSheet operates solely as a passive technical service provider and does not authorize, endorse, or license any content submitted by users. We do not conduct pre-screening, legal review, or intellectual property clearance of submitted content. This does not imply permission to submit or print infringing content, which is strictly prohibited and remains the sole legal responsibility of the customer.

By submitting content, you affirm that you have obtained all necessary rights and licenses for the requested use and that your use of our services will not infringe any third party’s intellectual property or other legal rights. DTFSheet expressly disclaims any responsibility for content submitted in violation of the law.

Customer Liability and Assumption of Risk

By using our service, you assume full legal responsibility for any design you upload or request to modify. This includes liability for copyright infringement, trademark misuse, violation of privacy or publicity rights, defamation, obscenity, or any other legal violations. You acknowledge that your use of the DTFSheet service does not transfer or shift any legal liability to DTFSheet or its personnel.

Indemnification

You agree to fully indemnify, defend, and hold harmless DTFSheet.com and its officers, employees, affiliates, contractors, agents, successors, and assigns from and against any and all claims, actions, proceedings, damages, losses, expenses, and costs (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs) arising out of:
- Content you upload, submit, or request to modify;
- Your use of our services in violation of this Policy or applicable laws;
- Any infringement or alleged infringement of third-party rights.

Use of Uploaded Content

We do not claim ownership of your uploaded designs. However, by uploading or submitting a design, you grant DTFSheet.com a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide license to use, reproduce, modify (at your request), and print the content solely to fulfill your order. We do not use or share your content for commercial purposes other than fulfillment and optional marketing display.

You may opt out of any marketing use by contacting legal@dtfsheet.com.

- Your physical or electronic signature;

- A statement under penalty of perjury that the information in your notice is accurate and that you are authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner.

Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, DTFSheet.com and its officers, employees, agents, contractors, and affiliates shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, special, punitive, or exemplary damages arising from:

  • Your use or inability to use the services;
