Principles:
CustomImpress.com believes in the power of custom apparel and accessories to bring groups and communities together, and we want to help our customers create products with designs that are meaningful, unifying and unique. We clearly understand that our customers have diverse viewpoints and perspectives, which are reflected in the designs they create, and we believe that we all must be respectful and tolerant of those with different views.
In rare cases, however, a design proposed by a customer may be offensive or threatening to others who see the design. In such cases, we use the following guidelines to balance our customers’ design goals with the standards and expectations of the CustomImpress.com community and the public. When a design does not meet our Content Guidelines, we will make every effort to work with the customer to try to create an alternate design that complies with the guidelines below.
Guidelines:
CustomImpress.com Guidelines intend to provide guidance for customers in designing custom products. Our Guidelines use a sliding from “go” to “no” account for the range of potential designs, so we can work with customers to create a design that meet these standards. The descriptions under each category are not meant to be exhaustive, and the ultimate decision on whether to approve a design, or not, will always rest with CustomImpress.com Guidelines team. CustomImpress.com regularly reviews these policies and updates as appropriate, based on feedback from our customers and team members.
