Terms of Service

Effective Date: May 5, 2026

1. Agreement to Terms

Welcome to Black T Factory. These Terms of Service ("Terms") form a legal agreement between you ("Customer," "you," or "your") and Black T Factory LLC ("Black T Factory," "we," "us," or "our"), governing your use of our website at blacktfactory.com (the "Site") and our event printing services (the "Services").

By accessing the Site, booking an event, or placing an order, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Site or Services.

2. Description of Services

Black T Factory provides mobile event printing services. We bring a fully equipped printing truck to your event location and produce custom-printed apparel, drinkware, and accessories on-site for you and your guests.

2.1 Two Service Types

We offer two ways to engage our Services:

  • Event Bookings — A host books our Services for a private event, paying a service fee plus pre-paid items, and our truck arrives at the agreed time and location
  • On-Site Walk-Up Orders — At an active event, individual guests may place additional walk-up orders for printed items, paid at the time of order

2.2 Products

Our standard product catalog includes apparel (t-shirts, hats, totes), drinkware (mugs, tumblers, glasses), and accessories (keychains, coasters, mousepads, photo panels, and more). Available products are subject to inventory and may change.

3. Eligibility

You must be at least eighteen (18) years old to book an event or place an order. By using our Services, you represent that you meet this age requirement and that you have the legal authority to enter into this agreement.

4. Event Bookings

4.1 Booking Process

To book an event, you select a service package, provide event details, accept these Terms and our Refund Policy, and pay a fifty percent (50%) non-refundable deposit. Bookings are subject to our acceptance and availability. We reserve the right to decline any booking at our sole discretion.

4.2 Service Packages

We offer multiple service tiers (Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, and Custom). Each tier specifies the included service hours, number of custom transfer designs, complimentary guest prints, and other inclusions. Tier inclusions are listed on the Site and are subject to change for future bookings (your booking is locked at the inclusions as displayed at the time of booking).

4.3 Payment Terms

A non-refundable deposit equal to fifty percent (50%) of the package price is required at the time of booking. The remaining balance is due on the day of the event before service begins. We accept payment via Stripe.

4.4 Cancellations and Refunds

Cancellation and refund terms are governed by our Refund Policy. By booking, you acknowledge that you have read and agree to the Refund Policy in effect at the time of booking. The Refund Policy is incorporated into these Terms by reference.

4.5 Force Majeure

Neither party is liable for failure to perform due to circumstances beyond their reasonable control, including natural disasters, severe weather, government action, civil unrest, or pandemic restrictions. In such cases, we will work in good faith to reschedule the event or issue refunds in accordance with our Refund Policy.

5. On-Site Walk-Up Orders

5.1 Order Process

At an active event, you may place an order by scanning our QR code, selecting products, uploading or selecting designs, and paying via Stripe. Once an order is paid, production begins immediately.

5.2 No Refunds on Custom Orders

Because each item is custom-printed for you, on-site walk-up orders are non-refundable once production begins. Production typically begins within one (1) minute of payment confirmation. Limited exceptions may be made at our sole discretion for printing defects or production errors.

5.3 Pickup

Items must be picked up at the event during the operational hours of the truck. We will send you a text message and/or email when your order is ready. We are not responsible for items left unclaimed at the end of the event. Unclaimed items may be discarded after seventy-two (72) hours.

6. Customer-Provided Artwork

6.1 Your Responsibility for Artwork

You are solely responsible for the artwork you upload, including ensuring you have all necessary rights and permissions. You represent and warrant that:

  • You own or have the rights to the artwork you submit
  • The artwork does not infringe any third party's intellectual property rights
  • The artwork does not contain content that is unlawful, defamatory, obscene, threatening, or otherwise objectionable
  • The artwork does not depict minors in a sexualized manner or contain content harmful to children

6.2 Our Right to Refuse

We reserve the right, at our sole discretion, to refuse to print any artwork we deem inappropriate, infringing, or contrary to our values. If we refuse, we will refund the affected portion of your order.

6.3 License to Use Artwork

By submitting artwork, you grant Black T Factory a limited, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to use, store, modify (for sizing/positioning), and reproduce the artwork solely for the purpose of fulfilling your order. We do not claim ownership of your artwork and will not use it for promotional purposes without your explicit written consent.

6.4 Print Quality

Print quality depends in part on the resolution and quality of the artwork you provide. We will warn you if uploaded artwork is below recommended print quality. If you proceed despite a quality warning, you acknowledge that the printed result may not meet your expectations, and we will not be obligated to provide refunds for quality issues caused by low-resolution source artwork.

7. Intellectual Property

7.1 Our Content

All content on the Site, including text, graphics, logos, images, and software, is the property of Black T Factory or our licensors and is protected by copyright, trademark, and other laws. The names "Black T Factory," "BTF," and our logos are trademarks of Black T Factory LLC.

7.2 Limited License to Use the Site

We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to access and use the Site for the purpose of booking events and placing orders. You may not reproduce, distribute, modify, or create derivative works of any Site content without our express written permission.

7.3 Pre-Made Transfers and Designs

We may offer pre-made transfer designs at events, either created by us or licensed to us. These designs remain our property or that of our licensors. Purchasing a printed item with one of our designs does not grant you ownership of the design itself.

8. Prohibited Uses

You agree not to:

  • Use the Site or Services for any unlawful purpose or in violation of these Terms
  • Submit artwork that infringes intellectual property rights or is otherwise prohibited
  • Attempt to gain unauthorized access to our systems, accounts, or data
  • Use automated systems (bots, scrapers, etc.) to access the Site without written permission
  • Transmit viruses, malware, or other harmful code
  • Interfere with or disrupt the Site or our Services
  • Impersonate any person or misrepresent your identity
  • Place fraudulent orders or use stolen payment methods
  • Resell our Services without authorization

9. Disclaimers

The Site and Services are provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind, either express or implied.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Black T Factory disclaims all warranties, express or implied, including but not limited to implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.

Print colors may vary slightly from what appears on your device screen due to differences in screen calibration, printer technology, and substrate materials. These variations are inherent to printing and do not constitute defects.

10. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, in no event will Black T Factory be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including lost profits, lost data, or loss of goodwill.

Our total cumulative liability for any claim will not exceed the greater of: (a) the total amount you paid to us in the twelve (12) months preceding the event giving rise to the claim, or (b) one hundred dollars ($100).

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain damages, so some of these limitations may not apply to you.

11. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Black T Factory and its officers, directors, employees, contractors, and agents from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or in any way connected with your use of the Site or Services, your violation of these Terms, or your artwork.

12. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

12.1 Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Connecticut, without regard to its conflict of law provisions.

12.2 Informal Resolution First

Before filing any claim, you agree to first contact us and attempt in good faith to resolve the dispute informally for at least thirty (30) days.

12.3 Venue

Any dispute not resolved informally must be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Connecticut, and you consent to the personal jurisdiction of those courts.

12.4 Class Action Waiver

To the fullest extent permitted by law, you and Black T Factory each waive any right to participate in a class action or class-wide arbitration. All disputes must be brought on an individual basis.

13. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. The current version is always available at blacktfactory.com/terms. If we make material changes, we will notify you by email or through a notice on the Site at least seven (7) days before they take effect. Your continued use of the Site or Services after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.

For existing bookings, the version of the Terms in effect at the time you booked governs your booking.

14. Termination

We may suspend or terminate your access to the Site or Services at any time, with or without cause, including for violation of these Terms. Provisions that by their nature should survive termination (including Sections 6, 7, 9, 10, 11, and 12) will survive.

15. Miscellaneous

15.1 Entire Agreement

These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy and Refund Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and Black T Factory regarding the Site and Services.

15.2 Severability

If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect.

15.3 No Waiver

Our failure to enforce any provision of these Terms is not a waiver of that provision or any other provision.

15.4 Assignment

You may not assign or transfer your rights or obligations under these Terms without our prior written consent. We may assign these Terms freely.

15.5 No Third-Party Beneficiaries

These Terms do not create any third-party beneficiary rights.
