SECTION 22 - CARE INSTRUCTIONS

 

Do not iron. If you wish to use our products wrinkle free, we recommend garment steamer. Do not dry clean. Do not bleach. Wash at or below 30 degree. Tumble dry low. Keep away from naked flame. Normal machine wash is good enough but gentle wash or hand wash is recommended for longer lifespan. Dryer is not recommended. Do not wash with a sharp object that can damage the apparel. 

Over time, inks and fabric might relax and soften clothing, and it may enhance wearing experience.

Results and satisfaction from wearing our products may vary from individuals depending on different usage and level of expectation. Due to the general nature of textile products, wear and tear happens. It is out of our control how individuals use our products. We do not take responsibility for an individual's odour or individual applications and care methods.

SECTION 23 - OUR DESIGNS

Designs of the products and content in this site are property of © Design Works Apparel ('We', 'Our') and protected by copyright laws and regulations. Any unauthorised use of our property is subject to be penalised by the law.

We pride ourselves on creating authentic designs and offering them on our sun safe clothing. Each design contains a meaning, objects and theme that many can empathise with. 

SECTION 24 - CUSTOM DESIGN SERVICE

Consultation before providing a quote can be conducted via email, phone, or in-store. We offer up to one hour of complimentary consultation before beginning the design process; additional time is charged at $100 per hour, payable upfront after the first complimentary hour has ended.

We produce multiple pre-production samples* to best match the design & colour requirements. However, colours might vary depending on screens which are affected by device types, brands, screen brightness, angles, different lighting, and so forth. It is also unavoidable to have minor colour variances from digital mockup to fabric print as they are different media. We create shirts according to the final digital mockup confirmed by the customer, in every detail such as colours, objects, etc. Any other descriptions that might have been mentioned in the past may or may not get reflected on the mockup and it is the customer's responsibility to check every detail on the final mockup.

*Samples are for technicians' and designers' viewing purposes only. Not supplied to customers.

If there is any element such as wording or a certain part of your image that you would like to emphasize, let us know in advance. That way, we can focus on reflecting your intention in the design.

The quality of prints varies depending on the original images you send us. We offer courtesy advice on whether your image is sufficient for the print, but the final decision is up to the customer. We hold no responsibility for the quality of your images. The resolution of the image should be at least 1000 px wide and the size of the file should be at least 1MB for the ideal quality of print.

We reserve the right not to print inappropriate content and cancel the order. It is also your responsibility to use an image whose usage is not restricted by law such as copyright.

If your design contains an object spread out over different panels (e.g. from body to sleeves or collar) and stitching is in the middle of the object, we cannot guarantee that the object will perfectly line up when panels are sewn up. As panels have different shapes and run in different directions, the object on the shirt can look different from the one on the digital mockup. Try to locate objects onto one panel (e.g. centre body part) to avoid this.

For designs filled with multiple photos, if there is not enough bleed (space between stitching and photo),
some parts of photos might get cut off due to stitching and different sizes of shirts.

We cannot guarantee the location of objects to be the exact spot. Shirts, as physical products, have different ratios depending on sizes, and the location of objects can vary slightly from one size to the other and from digital mockups to shirts. e.g. object looked to be inlined with the bottom of the placket on the screen but it sat 2cm lower than the placket on the actual shirt.

Sublimation ink is different to vinyl heat transfer. It does not have separate blocks for each colours. Each coloured ink can slightly transfer onto the colour next to it, especially on thin objects and from dark colour to light colour. This can make light coloured object slightly different colour to original colour. For example, white on red background, can look slightly pink on the edges.

If you are designing and purchasing through our design tool, put no more than 4 images on your design. Our design tool is designed for creating simple designs. If there are multiple big-sized images, the checkout will not work properly. If you wish to have many images and objects in your design, please contact us. An extra design setup fee will apply for complex designs.

You must check spelling and every content in your design before confirmation. Once the design is confirmed, we hold no responsibility for incorrect details on the confirmed design.

We reserve the right to print our logo on the products as part of branding. The location of the logo will be discreet and the logo will be placed in a way that it would not intrude into the design as much as possible.

The design/ setup fee is the fee that enables us to custom design and set up your print ready for printing to create the apparel. The design will be licensed for the above purpose, and we hold copyrights on the designs we create. Even in the case that you supplied the design, if we work on it and create a new file, we hold ownership of this file and the retouched design. We will not use the exact design on other orders however we might use part of the design to create a new design. We will not use a client’s photo, logo, or any element owned and supplied by the client, other than for the same client’s order, unless we have permission from the client to use it for other purposes. If you wish to use the design we create on a product with a different vendor, we hold the right to refuse to supply the original artwork.

The design/ setup fee is not refundable if you cancel the order after we start working on your design.

As the custom order is specially customized just for you, it is not refundable or exchangeable.

Upon placing an order with us, you understand and agree to the terms and conditions above.
