Terms of service

USER TERMS FOR STICKER FORCE
(‘Terms’)

1. How It Works: The Services

Our website, www.stickerforce.au operates on a Shopify platform and allows you to design your own stickers and purchase custom sticker products (‘the Services’). We use a third-party plugin operated by an overseas provider that enables instant quoting, edits of designs, producing a preview and generating a print ready file. The plugin forms part of the ordering path. When your project is completed, you have approved the final design and your payment is made, we receive your order details and print ready file, produce the final stickers and send them to you.

You acknowledge that third party providers assist in supplying parts of the Services and we are not responsible for their acts or omissions except as required by Australian Consumer Law (‘ACL’).

2. Artwork Disclaimers

Pixelation Disclaimer: Print quality depends on the artwork you supply and the quality shown in your proof. If your proof looks pixelated, the final print will look pixelated as well. For the best results, please provide high-resolution images and designs.

Artwork Scale Disclaimer: We aim to produce your stickers to the highest quality. When setting up your artwork, we enlarge it as much as possible within your selected dimensions while keeping the original proportions. To preserve scale and quality, the final sticker may be slightly smaller than the size ordered. We will never stretch or distort your artwork.

If you are unsure how your artwork will scale, we strongly recommend requesting a print proof so you can review the final size before production starts.

3. Uploading Images, Logos and Other Content

You may upload photos, artwork, logos, illustrations, text or other materials to create your sticker design. By uploading content, you warrant that you either own the content outright or have obtained all necessary rights, licences, consents or permissions to use, modify and reproduce it. Please review our separate Copyright and Upload Guidelines carefully prior to uploading any files.

You grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty free licence to use, reproduce, modify, adapt, print and store your uploaded content for the purpose of providing the Services, fulfilling your order and keeping appropriate records. We do not acquire ownership of your content.

You must not upload any content that is unlawful, obscene, defamatory, abusive, harmful, infringing or otherwise inappropriate. We may refuse to process an order or remove content if we believe it may infringe rights, breach these Terms or expose us to legal or reputational risk.

4. Prohibited Technical Content and File Integrity Requirements

You must not upload any files that are corrupted, incomplete, infected with viruses or malicious code, or capable of damaging, disrupting or impairing our website, editor, servers, software or the third-party plugin. You must not upload any executable files, scripts or any file type that may reasonably be considered unsafe or designed to interfere with the operation of the website or the Services.

You agree that any attempt to upload harmful or corrupt files may result in immediate suspension of your access to the Services and may expose you to legal liability.

5. Creating Projects and Using the Editor

After selecting a product on our website, the design tool is activated as the second step in the purchasing process. You can upload your content and generate a suggested design using AI. You may make changes to your personalised product in editor mode and review the preview in real time.

Once you accept the project in editor mode, you will be redirected to the summary page to make payment. By accepting the project and chosen design, you confirm the design is accurate, final and ready for printing.

6. Payment and Order Process

Once you initiate a manual proof, you may include any special requests or requirements in the Notes Box. All special requests or requirements are handled on a best efforts basis. You will receive any revised files to confirm and approve prior to printing.

Payment methods are provided at checkout and are not linked to the design tool. If full integration is used, we only receive information on the transaction status to generate and deliver the print ready file.

Your order is confirmed once payment is successfully processed. After payment and confirmation of your project, the order is submitted to production. You cannot cancel, make changes, modifications or variations to your order after you have confirmed it.

If your artwork is unclear or has any issues, we will contact you to explain the problem and suggest ways to make it suitable for printing. If the artwork cannot be made printable, we will refund your order minus any card processing fees. From artwork approval and confirmation, your sticker order will be processed and ready for dispatch within 5 business days or less, excluding weekends and public holidays.

Please note: Delivery times depend on your location in Australia. Once your order has been sent via Australia Post, exact delivery timeframes are outside our control and you will need to check with your local Australia Post office.

7. Printing Variations and Final Output

You acknowledge that the final printed product may not appear exactly the same as the design you approved in the editor. Variations can occur due to differences in screen displays, device settings, colour profiles, print processes, materials, finishes and other technical factors. Colours, tones, sharpness, contrast and placement may appear slightly different once printed. Minor variations of this nature are not considered defects and do not entitle you to a refund, replacement or reprint unless required under the Australian Consumer Law (‘ACL’).

You agree that it is your responsibility to review the design carefully before approving it in the editor and that the printed product will be produced as closely as reasonably possible to the approved design, subject to acceptable and industry standard printing variations

8. Refunds, Returns and Changes of Mind

You are solely responsible for determining whether the product is suitable for your purposes. We do not warrant that the product will meet your expectations.

We cannot accept cancellations or refunds for change of mind once your order has been confirmed by you and processed. Our products are custom made according to your uploaded content, chosen settings and approved design. For this reason, refunds for change of mind are not available.

If we agree, at our sole discretion, to change or cancel your order outside our obligations under the ACL, an administration fee may apply.

Please review our full Returns, Refunds and Exchanges Policy for further information on our website.

We at all times comply with our obligations under ACL and your statutory rights are set out below.

9. Australian Consumer Law (ACL)

Our products come with guarantees that cannot be excluded, restricted or modified under the ACL. If a product fails to meet a consumer guarantee, you may be entitled to a return, refund or replacement.

If a product arrives damaged, is incorrect, is defective or is not as described, you must contact us immediately with your order details and clear photographs so we can assess the issue. If you are entitled to a remedy under the ACL, we will assist you in arranging a replacement or refund as we may deem appropriate.

We will cover the cost of return shipping and freight fees and the cost of shipping any replacement product to you in the event that you are entitled to a replacement under the ACL.
