We make every effort to accurately display our products, colors, dimensions, and descriptions. Because of monitor settings, photography, and manufacturing variations, actual products may differ slightly from images shown. Product specifications may change without notice.

Custom decorated products require customer approval before production. Customers are responsible for reviewing artwork proofs carefully. Once artwork has been approved:

Supplier Substitution

If a manufacturer discontinues a product or it’s unexpectedly out of stock, we reserve the right to offer a comparable substitute after communicating with the customer.

In custom manufacturing, exact quantities aren’t always possible. A small overrun or underrun of up to ±5% may occur, with proportional billing.

Customer-Supplied Artwork

TTBS is not responsible for poor print quality caused by low-resolution or unsuitable artwork supplied by the customer, provided the customer approved the proof.

5. Pricing

Prices are subject to change without notice. Although we strive for accuracy, pricing errors may occur. If an error is discovered, we reserve the right to cancel or adjust the order before production.
