1. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY REPRESENTATIONS & WARRANTIES

By uploading any file(s) to Sinister Printworks, you represent and warrant that:

  • You are the original creator of the uploaded design(s), or you have obtained all necessary licenses, permissions, and authorizations from the rightful owner(s) to reproduce, modify, and manufacture the design(s) through a third-party service.
  • The uploaded file(s) do not infringe upon any copyright, patent, trademark, trade secret, or any other intellectual property right of any third party.

2. APPLICABLE FEDERAL INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY LAWS

You acknowledge and agree that the following federal laws govern the intellectual property aspects of this transaction, and that violation of any such law may subject you to civil and/or criminal liability:

a) Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. § 101–1332)

The U.S. Copyright Act protects original works of authorship, including sculptural works, technical drawings, and digital designs. Uploading copyrighted material without authorization constitutes infringement under 17 U.S.C. § 501. Statutory damages for willful infringement may reach $150,000 per work.

b) Digital Millennium Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. § 512)

Sinister Printworks operates in compliance with the DMCA safe harbor provisions. We maintain a DMCA notice-and-takedown procedure. If a copyright owner believes that material available on our platform infringes their rights, they may submit a DMCA takedown notice to our designated agent. Upon receipt of a valid notice, we will expeditiously remove or disable access to the allegedly infringing material. Repeat infringers will have their access to our services terminated. Details of our DMCA procedure are outlined in Section 8 below.

c) Patent Law (35 U.S.C. § 271)

You represent that the uploaded design(s) do not infringe any valid and enforceable U.S. patent, including utility patents, design patents, or plant patents. Manufacturing a patented design without authorization from the patent holder constitutes patent infringement under 35 U.S.C. § 271.

You warrant that the uploaded design(s) do not incorporate, reproduce, or create a likelihood of confusion with any registered or unregistered trademark, service mark, trade dress, or other source identifier owned by a third party. Infringement of trademark rights may result in injunctive relief, monetary damages, and the destruction of infringing goods under the Lanham Act.

  • Our total cumulative liability for any claim arising under this Agreement shall not exceed the total amount paid by the Customer for the specific order giving rise to the claim.

6. SHIPPING & PACKAGE INSURANCE

Sinister Printworks ships all orders via USPS, UPS, or FedEx at the Customer's selected service level. Once a package is tendered to the carrier, risk of loss transfers to the Customer.

  • Optional Package Insurance. Customers may elect to purchase package insurance as an add-on at checkout. If insurance is not purchased and the package is lost, damaged, or stolen in transit, Sinister Printworks bears no responsibility and no replacement or refund will be issued.
  • If package insurance has been purchased and the shipment is confirmed lost or damaged by the carrier, Sinister Printworks will work with the carrier to file a claim and, upon successful resolution, will reprint and reship the order at no additional cost.
