Welcome to The Decal Shark. These Terms & Conditions (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of www.TheDecalShark.com (the “Website”) and your purchase of products and services from The Decal Shark.

The Decal Shark is a brand operated by Amendolare Industries LLC (“Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”).

By accessing the Website, creating an account, placing an order, uploading artwork, or purchasing any product from us, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms & Conditions, as well as any additional policies referenced on the Website.

If you do not agree with these Terms, please do not use the Website or place an order.

1. About Our Products

The Decal Shark specializes in custom and standard stickers, decals, labels, and related products.

Because many of our products are custom-made, the final product may have minor variations in color, placement, sizing, cutting, or appearance from what is displayed on your screen or shown in a digital proof.

Colors can appear differently depending on your monitor, phone, tablet, printer, lighting conditions, and other display settings. We do not guarantee that the physical product will exactly match the color displayed on your electronic device.

Minor variations that do not materially affect the product’s intended use will not be considered defects.

2. Custom Orders & Customer-Submitted Artwork

When placing a custom order, you are responsible for providing accurate information, including but not limited to:

Artwork
Images
Logos
Text
Spelling
Dimensions
Quantities
Colors
Shipping information
Other customization instructions

You are responsible for reviewing all information before submitting your order.

Once production has begun, changes or cancellations may not be possible.

Customer Approval

Where a proof or preview is provided, you are responsible for carefully reviewing the proof before approving production.

Approval of a proof constitutes confirmation that the information, artwork, spelling, sizing, and other details are correct.

The Company is not responsible for errors that were included in customer-provided artwork or information and were approved by the customer.

3. Customer Responsibility for Artwork

By uploading, submitting, or providing artwork, images, logos, photographs, text, or other content to The Decal Shark, you represent and warrant that:

You own the content or have obtained all necessary rights, licenses, and permissions to use it;
Your submission does not infringe or violate another person’s copyright, trademark, patent, publicity rights, privacy rights, or other intellectual-property rights;
You have permission to reproduce the content commercially where such permission is required; and
Your submission does not violate any applicable law.

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Amendolare Industries LLC, The Decal Shark, and their owners, employees, contractors, and representatives from claims arising from artwork or content that you submit and that allegedly infringes the rights of another person or entity.

The Decal Shark reserves the right to refuse to reproduce any artwork or content that we reasonably believe may violate intellectual-property rights, applicable law, or our business policies.

4. Intellectual Property

All content appearing on this Website, including but not limited to:

The Decal Shark name
Logos
Graphics
Product photographs
Website design
Text
Original artwork
Marketing materials
Branding
Product descriptions

is owned by or licensed to The Decal Shark and/or Amendolare Industries LLC unless otherwise stated.

You may not copy, reproduce, distribute, modify, sell, publish, or commercially exploit our proprietary content without prior written permission.

Nothing in these Terms transfers ownership of The Decal Shark’s intellectual property to you.

5. Customer Artwork and Production Rights

By submitting artwork to The Decal Shark for the purpose of fulfilling an order, you grant us the limited right to reproduce, process, resize, format, print, cut, laminate, package, and otherwise use that artwork solely as reasonably necessary to manufacture and fulfill your order.

This permission does not transfer ownership of your artwork to us.

We will not knowingly sell or license your customer-submitted artwork to another party for unrelated commercial use without your permission.

6. Pricing and Product Information

We make reasonable efforts to ensure that product descriptions, photographs, prices, availability, and other information on the Website are accurate.

However, errors may occasionally occur.

We reserve the right to correct errors, update information, change prices, or modify product availability at any time.

If an order is placed at an incorrect price due to a Website or pricing error, we reserve the right to cancel the order and issue a refund of amounts actually paid for that order.

7. Orders and Payment

An order is not considered accepted until payment has been successfully processed and the order has been accepted for fulfillment.

We reserve the right to refuse, cancel, or limit an order for reasons including, but not limited to:

Suspected fraud
Unauthorized transactions
Incorrect pricing
Product availability
Inability to fulfill the requested order
Customer-provided content that cannot reasonably be reproduced
Violation of these Terms

If we cancel an order after payment has been received, we will issue an appropriate refund to the original payment method, subject to applicable law.

8. Shipping and Delivery

Shipping times displayed on the Website are estimates unless specifically stated otherwise.

Once an order has been shipped, delivery is controlled by the applicable shipping carrier.

The Decal Shark is not responsible for delays caused by circumstances outside our reasonable control, including carrier delays, severe weather, natural disasters, transportation interruptions, incorrect addresses supplied by customers, or other circumstances beyond our control.

Customers are responsible for providing an accurate and complete shipping address.

If an order is returned to us because an incorrect or incomplete address was provided by the customer, additional shipping charges may apply before the order can be reshipped.

We will make reasonable efforts to provide accurate shipping estimates. Where applicable law requires additional notice, cancellation rights, or refunds because an order cannot be shipped within the promised timeframe, those rights will apply.

9. Lost, Stolen, or Misdelivered Packages

Once an order is delivered according to the shipping carrier’s tracking information, The Decal Shark is generally not responsible for packages that are subsequently lost, stolen, or misplaced.

If tracking indicates that a package was delivered but you cannot locate it, you should first check with household members, neighbors, building management, and the carrier.

We may assist customers in communicating with the carrier when reasonably possible, but we cannot guarantee reimbursement for packages that the carrier records as delivered.

10. Damaged Products

If your order arrives damaged, please contact us as soon as reasonably possible after delivery and provide photographs of:

The damaged product
The packaging
The shipping label
Any visible damage

We will review the circumstances and determine an appropriate resolution consistent with our Refund & Return Policy and applicable law.

11. Returns, Refunds, and Cancellations

Our Refund & Return Policy is incorporated into these Terms & Conditions.

Because many of our products are custom-made, certain products may not be eligible for return simply because a customer changes their mind, subject to applicable law.

Custom products that have already entered production may not be cancelable.

However, nothing in this policy is intended to eliminate or restrict any rights or remedies that cannot legally be waived under applicable federal, state, or local law.

For complete information regarding returns, refunds, replacements, and cancellations, please review our Refund & Return Policy before placing an order.

12. Product Use and Safety

Customers are responsible for determining whether a product is suitable for their intended application.

Adhesive products may not adhere properly to every surface. Surface preparation, temperature, moisture, texture, cleaning products, environmental conditions, and application technique can affect adhesion and performance.

The Decal Shark does not guarantee adhesion or performance on every surface or under every environmental condition.

Customers are responsible for following any application instructions provided with their products.

13. Website Use

For any unlawful purpose;
To commit fraud;

To the maximum extent permitted by law, our total liability relating to any particular order or product shall not exceed the amount actually paid by the customer for the product or order giving rise to the claim.

Nothing in these Terms is intended to exclude or limit liability that cannot legally be excluded or limited under applicable law.

16. Disclaimer of Warranties

To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Website and its content are provided on an “as available” basis.

We do not guarantee that the Website will always operate without interruption, errors, defects, viruses, or other harmful components.

Product warranties, if any, will be limited to those expressly provided by The Decal Shark or required by applicable law.

Nothing in these Terms eliminates any warranty or consumer protection that cannot legally be excluded.

17. Indemnification

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Amendolare Industries LLC, The Decal Shark, and their owners, employees, contractors, representatives, affiliates, and service providers from claims, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, and expenses arising from:

Your violation of these Terms;
Your misuse of the Website;
Artwork or content you submit;
Your violation of another person’s rights; or
Your violation of applicable laws or regulations.

This provision does not require you to indemnify the Company for the Company’s own unlawful conduct or liability that cannot legally be shifted to you.

18. Force Majeure

We will not be responsible for delays or failures caused by circumstances beyond our reasonable control, including natural disasters, severe weather, fire, flood, power outages, labor disruptions, supply shortages, transportation interruptions, governmental actions, internet or technology failures, carrier delays, or other unforeseen events.

When reasonably possible, we will make reasonable efforts to communicate significant delays affecting an order.

19. Privacy

Your use of the Website may also be subject to our Privacy Policy, which explains how we collect, use, store, and disclose information.

Our Privacy Policy is incorporated into these Terms by reference.

20. Changes to These Terms

We may update or modify these Terms & Conditions from time to time.

The updated version will be posted on this Website with a revised “Last Updated” date.

Your continued use of the Website after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms to the extent permitted by applicable law.

Changes will not retroactively alter rights or obligations relating to an order that was already completed unless required or permitted by law.

21. Governing Law

These Terms shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without regard to conflict-of-law principles, except to the extent that applicable law requires otherwise.

Nothing in these Terms is intended to deprive a consumer of rights or protections that cannot legally be waived under the laws applicable to that consumer.

22. Dispute Resolution

Before initiating formal legal proceedings, we encourage customers to contact us directly and provide an opportunity to resolve the issue informally.

Any dispute that cannot be resolved informally shall be handled in accordance with applicable law.

Nothing in this section prevents a consumer from exercising rights or remedies that cannot legally be waived, including rights available under applicable consumer-protection laws.

23. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is determined to be unlawful, invalid, or unenforceable, that provision shall be enforced to the maximum extent permitted by law, and the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect.

24. No Waiver

Our failure to enforce any provision of these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of our right to enforce that provision in the future.

25. Entire Agreement

These Terms, together with the Website’s Privacy Policy, Refund & Return Policy, Shipping Policy, and any other policies expressly incorporated into these Terms, constitute the agreement between you and Amendolare Industries LLC regarding your use of the Website and purchase of products from The Decal Shark, except where a separate written agreement applies.
