14. Submissions.

All suggestions, ideas, notes, concepts, content, artwork, product reviews and other information you may from time to time send to KPHC (collectively, “Submissions”) shall be deemed and shall remain KPHC’s sole property and shall not be subject to any obligation of confidence on KPHC’s part. Without limiting the foregoing, KPHC shall be deemed to own all known and hereafter existing rights of every kind and nature regarding the Submissions and shall be entitled to unrestricted use of the Submissions for any purpose, without compensation to the provider of the Submissions.

Where applicable - Designs created using the text tools and images available through the Site are in no way the exclusive property of the customers who assemble such designs. KPHC retains the right to display such designs or offer them (or variations of such designs) to other customers. Furthermore, KPHC provides no warranty that designs created using our text tools and images will not infringe, or be subject to a claim of infringing, the trademark or other rights of another party.


KPHC reserves the right to re-purpose submitted artwork for marketing materials, including but not limited to: social media channels, website materials, advertisements, and print materials.



15. Custom Products

KPHC values respect, tolerance and open dialogue and we serve a diverse and varied customer base. KPHC has the sole discretion to reject any order that we deem inappropriate for production, including those designs or text that we deem to…

·      Contain obscene, vulgar or profane content, including hate speech or symbols,

·      Contain explicit sexual content or innuendo,

·      Encourage violence, hate or negative stereotypes against individuals or groups,

·      Attack, harass or discriminate based on race, religion, ethnicity, gender, disability, national origin, sexual orientation or gender identity

·      Incite public outrage or inspire violence,

·      Portray or promote irresponsible use of alcohol or other substances, or

·      Libel or defame an individual or group.

 

Because the process we use to identify political affiliations and associations involves human judgment, we may inadvertently accept an order and mark a KPHC product with a candidate’s name or campaign slogan simply because we weren’t familiar with it when the order was placed. If that happens, it’s an honest mistake and shouldn’t be construed as KPHC’s endorsement of a particular affiliation or association (unless, of course, we explicitly make a statement of endorsement).


KPHC respects the intellectual property rights of others and we ask that you do the same. By purchasing any custom product on through the Site, you represent and warrant that your requested design does not violate anyone else’s rights, including copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, privacy or other rights. KPHC may terminate the account of any customer who infringes, or may infringe, the copyright, trademark or other intellectual property rights of others.


A customization fee applies for all custom products. Please review your customized item carefully prior to submitting your order; customized items may not be cancelled or returned once the order has been submitted. KPHC is not responsible for any errors or mistakes that have been approved.
