Garments selection and subjectivity
Eternal Designs suggest all garments for each order based on your specified specs and request. We will do our best to assist with the garment selection process by providing any all-digital images of colors, sizing, and information regarding the selected garment. If you have a specific garment request and you are more particular regarding the garment. We strongly encourage ordering blank samples of the garments before placing an order. We can’t guarantee customers will like the garment they choose. We can only guarantee print quality. The customer is solely responsible for the garment they select not Eternal Designs. Blank samples are not free and must be paid for.
Proposal/Quote/Invoice
All written quotations of price (quick quote/official proposal/quote/Invoice) provided by Eternal Designs will be valid for a period of 10 days without exception from the time the quote has been generated by Eternal Designs. Anyone looking to place an order after the 10-day period will automatically be re-quoted. Eternal Designs has the right to re-quote any project that may be impacted by changes in supply or product cost. Prices are based on labor and material costs at the time of the quotation date. Quoted pricing is subject to change based on a final review of order specifications and artwork. Eternal Designs reserves the right to change pricing at any time without notice.
Apparel/Item Proofs
Eternal Designs provides digital proofs for each project that details the following:
-Customer
-Project name
-Artwork dimensions
-Artwork placement
-Ink/Thread type and colors (Colors base Coated & Uncoated Pantone book and Thread on Gunold color chart)
-Garment type and colors
All apparel/item proofs are sent along with your proposal/quote. By approving this proposal/quote you are automatically approving your apparel/item proof. We strongly suggest reviewing your apparel/item proof carefully for spelling mistakes, artwork color correctness, and placement. Once the proof is approved, your order will be placed into production and printed as approved. We are not responsible for any orders misprinted after the apparel/item proof is approved, which is not caused by a production issue; but due to misspelling or artwork issues such as placement and color correctness. All orders printed incorrectly due to any of the issues outlined above can be reprinted at your own cost. Digital proofs are limited to 3 proofs per project. Any proofs provided over the limited number will be billed at a rate of $15.00 per proof.

Artwork/Print placement
Artwork placement shown on digital mockups should be considered approximate print placement, not actual print placement. Garments come in different styles, sizes, and shapes and are moveable, stretchable canvas that could alter the artwork's actual print placement. We do our best to ensure the artwork is printed and placed in the desired print location. Note, it is the customer's responsibility to provide details regarding print placement and size. If no details are provided, Eternal Designs will choose the best placement and size for any artwork provided. The actual print placement will vary by 1/4 in any direction, regardless of garment size. We are not liable for any design printed in the wrong place and in the wrong size if not stated prior to placing your order. Artwork accepted angle variance is plus or minus 10 degrees per garment.
Any printing on or over seams, zippers, collars, or hems will likely result in printing inconsistencies and distortion. These inconsistencies are considered accepted goods and will not be considered misprints.
Images Size of Different Garments
The image size of artwork is printed the same size on all garment sizes unless otherwise specified. Different image size artwork will be billed as a separate order and applies to youth and toddler sizes.
Payments
Payment for any order is required to be paid upfront and in full. Eternal Designs CANNOT and WILL NOT begin any project without payment.

Waterbase and Specialty inks
The use of discharge ink is suggested for 100% cotton garments only. Standard waterbase ink can be printed on cotton and blends. Due to the inconsistent nature of discharge printing, Eternal Designs is not responsible for variations found in the print. Refunds will not be issued because of these variations. Exact Pantone matching can be difficult depending on the garment, although we will work to get a close possible. Exact color matching is not guaranteed. If you choose this printing method, be aware there is a high chance of spoilage due to issues that may arise during the discharge process. Customers should consider adding extra garments for this purpose. Customers should consider adding extra garments for this purpose. Note, with the use of waterbase and discharge inks there will be some small amount of wash out which will cause the print to fade slightly over time. We are not responsible for fading prints or weathering goods. Garments with foil, metallic inks, or other specialty bases and embellishing should be washed inside out to maximize the washability and longevity of the print.
Color Matching
If you require that we match the colors in your design to the actual color, we print on your garment. You must provide us with the actual Pantone number for every color in your design. These numbers must come from the Pantone Coated or Uncoated book. No other color from any other Pantone book will be accepted. If we are provided artwork by a customer that does not specify a Pantone number, Eternal Designs will choose the closest color to match what we see on screen.
