4. Intellectual Property & Design Use

- To fulfil your order, we may create production artwork or digitized embroidery files (such as DST, EMB, or similar machine formats) required for manufacturing.

- By submitting a design, you grant us a non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to create and use such production artwork solely for the purpose of manufacturing and delivering your order.
- Unless you notify us in writing at the time of order, we may showcase completed designs in our portfolio, marketing, or social media.

- If an issue is identified, you may request corrections within 14 days of delivery.
- Corrections requested outside this timeframe may incur additional charges.

- Customer errors (wrong sizes, colours, or details submitted).
