An order can be canceled at any time prior to it entering into production. You must call OwlStamp Visual Solutions and speak to a Customer Service Representative to determine if your order has entered production. At that time, you will be informed of any charges incurred. Such charges may include but are not limited to ordering of stock, design work, pre-flighting, or file repair. Allow up to 10 business days for any refunded monies to be credited to your account. An order cannot be canceled and no refund will be given once it has entered into production or any process thereafter. No refunds are issued for Logo and Graphic design services.

Since the majority of our products are personalized, customized, or otherwise created exclusively for you, we cannot accept returns. However, if there is an error on our part or a defect in materials or workmanship upon receipt of your order, we will repair or replace the product at our expense, including shipping.

Return of any stock items will be accepted with 30 days of purchase and will incur a 15% restocking fee.

We will not accept any returns without a valid Return Authorization (RA) number.  

After initial receipt of your order, all products come with a ninety-day warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. Except for Xstamper pre-inked stamps which come with a lifetime warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. OwlStamp Visual Solutions has sole discretion to determine whether lack of performance of any product is the result of a defect in materials or workmanship, or the result of normal wear and tear, misuse of the product, or lack of proper care and attention when using the product. The warranty period begins as of the invoice date. OwlStamp Visual Solutions will not cover shipping charges for warranty work. 

The design tools available on this Website are made available to all users of the Website. In the event you create a design, such as a sign, emblem or logo, you do not obtain any right or claim to any of the individual design elements made available through this Website that enabled the creation of the design, and these design elements are and will continue to be the property of OwlStamp Visual Solutions (or the licensor if applicable) and will remain freely available to other OwlStamp Visual Solutions customers. Your use of the Site Content provided on this Website and/or the creation of products or materials using such Site Content does not create joint authorship, joint ownership, works made for hire, or any other interest of any kind, with OwlStamp Visual Solutions in or regarding such Site Content.

It is solely your responsibility to determine whether any design you may create using the design tools made available to you by OwlStamp Visual Solutions, infringes, or may be subject to a claim of infringement upon the trademark, copyright, or other rights of a third party. You should consult with an attorney as to whether a design you create may infringe upon the rights of another party.

This site may contain links to websites that are owned and/or operated by third parties, and that are not under the control of OwlStamp Visual Solutions These links are provided only as a convenience. OwlStamp Visual Solutions does not evaluate, review, monitor, or endorse the content of such sites and is not responsible in anyway for the information, services, products or other materials available on or offered by such sites, the accuracy of the content on such sites, and /or the privacy, security and safety practices of such sites. You expressly understand and agree that if you access any such sites through a link provided by OwlStamp Visual Solutions then you do so at your own risk.

Different products that we provide may have specific requirements. There will be instructions regarding these requirements when ordering a specific product.   In general, we recommend that content uploaded to OwlStamp Visual Solutions for product production adhere to the following requirements:

Color Space – Your designs should be created and submitted using a CMYK color space with no embedded color profile. If you submit RGB designs, OwlStamp Visual Solutions will not be responsible for any color shifts or inaccuracies when your design is converted to CMYK for production. If you are using Pantone® spot colors, do not convert and leave them as native colors. We will try to match the color as closely as possible, but do not guarantee results. In addition, some Pantone® colors can not be reproduced on some products.

·          Fonts – Whenever possible, convert any fonts to curves (outlines, paths) to eliminate the possibility of font substitutions during production.

·          File Formats – In general, the best file format for most products is a flattened high resolution PDF with fonts converted to curves. Other acceptable formats include EPS, CorelDraw X5, Adobe CS5 (InDesign, Photoshop, Illustrator), JPEG, TIFF. Any bitmap images contained in your files should be a minimum of 300 dpi at 100% size.

·          Uploaded files that do not meet these requirements may experience print or images that are fuzzy, pixilated or otherwise distorted for which OwlStamp Visual Solutions does not accept any responsibility.

We reserve the right to reject content that does not meet this standard, but we do not assume any obligation to verify that the uploaded content meets these standards.

Any product that we produce that incorporates color reproduction will meet CMYK industry standards. Therefore, due to variations in equipment, substrates, environment, and other factors, OwlStamp Visual Solutions cannot guarantee “match-print” color fidelity, nor can we prevent slight color shifts within an order or orders printed at different times. In addition, because we cannot control the color reproduction of a customer's computer monitor or color printers, we cannot guarantee that the actual print color will precisely match any preview as it appears your monitor or printed copy you create. OwlStamp Visual Solutions is not responsible for any color shift in converted photographs (RGB images) with black, near black, or gray tones.

Although we endeavor to ship the quantity ordered, OwlStamp Visual Solutions reserves the right to ship within 5% over or under according to specific industry standards for certain product classes. Charges and standards for particular product categories are listed below.

Stamps, Embossers, and Related Items – Exact Quantity

Engraving – Exact Quantity

Signs, Banners, and Related Items –Exact Quantity

Printing – 5%, No Charge for Overs; Unders will be deducted from cost.

OwlStamp Visual Solutions has and assumes no obligation to proof or otherwise review the content or layout of your order. Even if an OwlStamp Visual Solutions customer service representative has inquired as to the attributes of one of your prior orders, you are not entitled nor should you assume that OwlStamp Visual Solutions will review any other order you place.

For designs that OwlStamp Visual Solutions creates or provides for you, we will give you an electronic proof for your approval.

Products are manufactured from customer files "as submitted" or from approved proofs, and the customer is fully responsible for final proof and layout verification and approval prior to submission to the production process.

OwlStamp Visual Solutions will assume that you have verified the spelling, grammar, content and layout, etc. are all correct and it will not accept any liability for errors such as misspelling, grammar, damaged fonts, punctuation, transparency, overprint, improper layout, bleeding, erroneous cut or fold lines, die lines or crop marks, sizing, etc.
