The Terms of Service is hereby incorporated by reference into this document and thus by agreeing to comply with the Terms of Sale you again agree to comply with the Terms of Service.

2) Content of Your Purchase

The primary value of the Stokes Sign Co., Inc. Website (Web Site) is the ability for users and potential purchasers ("Users") to create signs and graphics that display any content they choose. This is done by means of computer interaction alone between the Users and the Web Site.

As such, you agree that no Stokes Sign Co., Inc. employee, employer, officer, owner, agent, or authorized representative is responsible for monitoring the content of the signs or graphics created or uploaded by Users, neither while on the website, nor after purchase and during the production process.

You agree that signs that are purchased will not be checked for content, spelling errors, grammatical errors, logical errors, aesthetic quality, color matching, or any other factor that is within the User's Realm of Control through the use of the tool on the Web Site. You, as a User, have many opportunities during the purchasing process to check your purchase for layout and content and agree that you have done so.

"Realm of Control" refers to any part of a sign that is editable by the User. Including but not limited to: color, font size, font type, font style, font color, position of text, position of graphics, color of graphics, quantity of text, quantity of graphics, spelling of text, use of text, size of graphics, justification of graphics, justification of images, or color of the background.

While Stokes Sign Co., Inc. does not review the content of your sign or product, you still agree to be bound by the restrictions as laid out in the Terms of Service, and should it come to the attention of Stokes Sign Co., Inc. that you have violated the Terms of Service or this Terms of Sale, you agree that Stokes Sign Co., Inc. will send you notice of cancellation and your order will be canceled. You further agree that the purchase price of your order, less any cost incurred during the processing of your order and its cancellation, will be returned by signed check through the United States Postal Service, postmarked within 30 days of your receipt of notice of cancellation.

You also agree that the content of your sign or product does not contain any content that is unlawful, harmful, threatening, abusive, vulgar, harassing, defamatory, obscene, pornographic, indecent, inflammatory, libelous, tortious, hateful, or racially, ethnically or otherwise objectionable, or invasive of another's rights including but not limited to rights of celebrity, privacy, and intellectual property.

3) Color Matching

Stokes Sign Co., Inc. sells its products through an E-Commerce Web Site viewable by computers connected to the Internet. These computers may view Stokes Sign Co., Inc. products solely through their computer screens ("Monitors"). Monitors may be configured to display images and colors in a variety of ways, both through the use of hardware setup and software setup. There are many possible settings for Monitors and there is no true uniform standard to which all Monitors conform. What may look one way on one monitor, will look different on another.

Further, computer monitors display images with light and use a standard known as RGB to do so. Stokes Sign Co., Inc. produces products in a variety of ways (CMYK, PMS, and others) that do not use light.

As such, you agree that Stokes Sign Co., Inc. does not guarantee that the colors as they appear on the screen will look the same as the colors as they appear on the purchased product. Stokes Sign Co., Inc. works hard to make the colors on the screen be as true as possible to the printed colors, however, the differences in Monitors and the differences between light and pigment make it impossible to guarantee matching colors for all Users.

4) Materials

Stokes Sign Co., Inc. sells products made out of several different types of materials: Corrugated Plastic, Aluminum (040 Aluminum) (020 Aluminum for License Plates), Art Board (PVC Foam Board), Decal (Digitally Printed Vinyl), Banner (Vinyl Banner), and Bumper Sticker (Digitally Printed Vinyl).

You agree that you have read our website and/or researched independently and that you know what each of these materials is and what you are buying. Stokes Sign Co., Inc. only guarantees that you will receive the materials advertised on the Web Site that you purchase. You agree that Stokes Sign Co., Inc. is not responsible for products received that are made of materials thought by the purchaser to be something other than advertised on the Web Site.

As an example, you agree Stokes Sign Co., Inc. is not responsible if the Corrugated Plastic received by the purchaser is not what the purchaser envisioned Corrugated Plastic would be.

You agree that all products produced and sold by Stokes Sign Co., Inc. are for novelty purposes only. Stokes Sign Co., Inc. does not make any claims about the legal compliance or registration of signs, license plates, or any other products sold by Stokes Sign Co., Inc. or by a Stokes Sign Co., Inc. affiliate.

Stokes Sign Co., Inc. permits users to upload images onto their signs and products through the Stokes Sign Co., Inc. C Web Site. You agree that Stokes Sign Co., Inc. is not responsible for the quality of the images you upload. Stokes Sign Co., Inc. Web Site attempts to make a "best guess" as to the best viewing distance of your image based on the internally stored DPI (Dots Per Inch) contained in the image file. The Web Site assumes that 100 DPI is best viewed from 3.5 feet and tries to make the best distance estimate based on that assumption.

You agree that you alone are responsible for making sure that the quality of the image you are uploading is of high enough quality to be satisfactory to you at the size you select on the sign or product that you are purchasing.

Images are created and stored in a variety of ways and you agree that Stokes Sign Co., Inc. is not responsible for ensuring quality images for any image file format available on the Web Site.
