By using https://www.albiesart.com, submitting artwork, requesting a quote, approving a design proof, placing an order, purchasing a product, or working with Albie’s Art on a custom project, you agree to this Artwork & Intellectual Property Policy, our Terms & Conditions, Privacy Policy, Custom Order Terms, Shipping Policy, Returns & Refunds Policy, and any written order-specific terms connected to your project.

1. Purpose of This Policy

Many projects involve artwork, logos, patches, badges, military-style elements, unit names, organization names, company names, fan-inspired themes, memorial details, personal images, customer-provided references, or original Albie’s Art designs.

This policy is intended to clarify:

  • What customers receive when purchasing products or services

  • How custom designs and proofs may be used

  • How third-party trademarks and copyrights are handled

Albie’s Art may ask for proof of permission, but is not required to do so.
