General Policies

Artwork rights and licensing

You must own the artwork you submit or have the rights and permissions needed to reproduce it for the requested purpose, including any commercial use. You are responsible for checking copyright, trademark, likeness, and other third-party rights. Private or personal use does not automatically provide permission.

CarTatz provides printing and personalization services. Accepting an upload does not certify ownership or grant you a license to third-party content. We may request evidence of permission, decline a request, or pause disputed work. We do not promise to print every submitted image.

You give CarTatz and necessary service providers a limited permission to store, process, edit as requested, proof, and print your submitted content to fulfill your request. This does not transfer your ownership or automatically authorize us to publish private uploads for advertising. Any additional promotional use requires separate permission.

AI-assisted design and editing

CarTatz may use AI-assisted tools for design, editing, enhancement, and augmentation when providing requested creative services. AI-generated or edited previews can contain errors or differ from the final printed result. Your final proof requires your own review and approval.

Where an AI-assisted edit is requested, relevant content may be processed by the provider needed to perform that service. We do not represent that every design is human-created, that an AI result is exclusive, or that AI use clears third-party rights. Ask before submitting material that requires special confidentiality or processing restrictions.

Accounts and agreements

A free account is required to complete a print request or order. CarTatz uses the same membership identity service as Skip the Hard Stuff; existing members can sign in with their existing credentials. You are responsible for keeping your sign-in details secure and providing accurate information.

One required, unchecked agreement control covers all three linked policy pages at CarTatz registration or first CarTatz account use, and again for each print request. We record the policy version and server acceptance time. Print-request acceptance is linked to the submitted request and its design snapshot. Final proof approval remains a separate action.

This agreement does not enroll you in marketing messages or provide blanket consent to optional tracking. If a separate consent is required for another purpose, it must be requested separately.

Information we collect

We process the information you provide to use the service: account email, account and authentication information, names supplied with requests, artwork, vehicle details and photos, dimensions, placement settings, messages, proof approvals, and relevant order or delivery information when an order requires it. Account passwords are handled by the authentication service, not stored in design-project records.

Hosting and account providers may process connection, diagnostic, and security information needed to operate their services. Do not upload payment-card details, identity documents, passwords, or other sensitive information into artwork or support messages. Payments, when enabled, are handled through the confirmed payment provider; this preview does not collect payment.

Use, providers, and sharing

We use relevant information to provide accounts, save designs, answer questions, prepare proofs, fulfill authorized orders, prevent duplicate submissions, and protect the service. Necessary hosting, authentication, storage, production, delivery, payment, or requested editing providers may process relevant information for those purposes.

Private customer uploads are stored separately from the public design library. Submitting a design does not automatically publish it. We may disclose information when required by law or needed to address fraud, security issues, or a rights complaint. We do not authorize selling your uploaded artwork or personal contact information through this policy.

Browser storage and cookies

The site uses browser storage for saved drafts, favorites, and account sessions. Browser drafts stay on that device until you remove them or clear browser storage; clearing storage can erase work that was not saved to your account or exported as a backup.

Essential account or security cookies may be used by our providers. Optional analytics, advertising, or other nonessential tracking must be disclosed and offered with any choices required by applicable law before being introduced. A required account agreement is not a substitute for a separate optional-cookie choice.

Security, retention, and your requests

We use account-based access controls and private storage for customer design files. Authorized access and limited-duration file links support service delivery. No internet service can guarantee absolute security. Tell us promptly through Contact if you suspect unauthorized access or a security problem; do not send passwords in your report.

We retain information while needed to provide the requested service, maintain your account or saved work, keep necessary business records, resolve disputes, or meet legal obligations. You can request access, correction, or deletion through Contact. We may need to verify your identity, and some records may need to be retained for legitimate or legal reasons. We do not promise immediate deletion from backups or records that must be kept.

Website use and accessibility

Use the site lawfully and do not submit malicious files, attempt to access another customer's designs, or use the service to infringe others' rights. If an accessibility issue prevents you from using a page, contact us and describe the page, device, and help you need.

Only customers able to enter the applicable agreement should create an account and submit orders; a parent or guardian should handle requests for minors. The service is not directed to children under 13. Estimates, illustrations, and general guidance do not replace a confirmed quote, final proof, or product-specific instructions.

Policy versions and questions

These three pages are a versioned policy set. Review them before agreeing. Material changes will be reflected in a new version and presented for agreement where appropriate. Previously recorded acceptances remain tied to the version accepted at the time.

For account, privacy, artwork-rights, accessibility, or other questions, use Contact. These policies do not exclude rights that applicable law does not allow a business to exclude.
