InkedSquid Terms of Service

Effective date: November 15, 2026

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of inkedsquid.com (the "Site") and any order of custom temporary tattoos from InkedSquid. InkedSquid is a brand of SleepySquid LLC, a Maryland limited liability company, 11205 Keystone Ave, Clinton, MD 20735 ("InkedSquid," "we," "us"). By requesting a quote, approving a proof, or placing an order, you agree to these Terms. If you don't agree, don't use the Site or order.

1. Who can order

You must be at least 18 years old and able to enter a binding contract to request a quote or place an order. If you order for a group, company or event, you confirm you have authority to do so, and you are responsible for sharing the safety information in Section 7 with everyone who will wear the tattoos.

2. Products and prices

We make custom temporary tattoos for events such as bachelorette parties, weddings and company events. Current offerings:

  • 5-design pack: $59
  • 10-design pack: $99
  • Event kit (100 tattoos): $399
  • Optional rush shipping for event kits: $29 (see Section 9)

Your quote or product page shows the quantities and sizes for your order. Prices are in U.S. dollars. Applicable sales tax, and any shipping charge, are shown at checkout before you pay. We may change prices at any time, but a change will not affect an order you have already paid for. If we make a pricing error, we may cancel the order and refund you in full.

Until online ordering opens, the Site only collects quote requests. A quote is not a contract; an order is formed only when you pay.

3. Your ideas, content and rights

What you submit. You may send us design ideas, text, names, notes, and images such as logos or reference photos ("Your Content").

Your promise. You confirm that (a) you own Your Content or have every permission needed for us to use it to make your order, including permission from any company whose name or logo is included and from any person whose name, photo or likeness is included; and (b) Your Content and the tattoos you request do not infringe anyone's copyright, trademark, right of publicity or privacy, or other rights, and are not unlawful.

License to us. You give SleepySquid LLC, and the service providers working for us (including our AI design service provider and our printer), a non-exclusive, royalty-free license to use, copy, modify and reproduce Your Content only to design, proof, print, ship and support your order, and to keep records as described in our Privacy Policy. This license does not let us use Your Content for anything else, including portfolio use, unless you opt in under Section 5.

Indemnity. You will defend, indemnify and hold harmless SleepySquid LLC and its members and contractors from any claims, losses, damages and costs (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising from Your Content or from your breach of this Section 3.

Uploads. Send only images you need for the design. Don't send images of children, IDs, or anything sensitive. We delete uploads 90 days after delivery, as described in our Privacy Policy.

4. Designs we won't make

We will not make designs that include, and you may not request:

  • trademarks, logos or brand names you don't have permission to use (including sports teams, colleges and leagues);
  • copyrighted characters, artwork, lyrics or images you don't own or have permission to use (for example, cartoon or movie characters);
  • the name, photo or likeness of a celebrity or any person who hasn't agreed;
  • content that is hateful, harassing, sexually explicit, violent, defamatory, or otherwise offensive or unlawful, as we reasonably decide.

We may refuse, change or cancel any design or order at any time, for any reason, including if we believe it may infringe someone's rights. If we cancel a paid order, we refund what you paid for that order.

5. AI-assisted designs and ownership

How designs are made. We create designs with the help of artificial-intelligence image tools, together with our own editing and selection. Designs may look similar to designs made for others, and AI tools can produce errors.

Ownership. As between you and us, once you pay in full, you may use the final tattoos and the final design for your event and for personal or internal business purposes. We keep any rights we have in our design work, templates and process. You keep all rights in Your Content.

Copyright uncertainty. Under current U.S. Copyright Office guidance, material generated by AI without enough human creative control is not protected by copyright. That means parts of an AI-assisted design may not be protectable by anyone, and others may be free to copy them. We make no promise that any design is copyrightable or exclusive to you.

Portfolio. We will show your design publicly (for example on the Site or social media) only if you opt in when you order. We never show designs containing real names, faces or company logos without that opt-in. You can withdraw your opt-in anytime by emailing support@sleepysquid.com, and we'll remove the design from places we control within a reasonable time.

6. Proofs, revisions and approval

  • After you order, we send a digital proof of your design(s).
  • One round of revisions is included. Each additional round of revisions is $10, billed before we start that round.
  • Please check every proof carefully, including spelling, names, dates, colors and sizing. Colors on screen may differ from printed colors.
  • When you approve a proof, it goes to print as shown. You are responsible for any errors (including typos) in a proof you approved. Reprints to fix approved errors are a new order at the regular price.
  • If we don't hear back on a proof within 14 days, we may pause your order, and your event date may then be at risk.

7. Skin safety (please read)

Temporary tattoos are cosmetics applied to skin, and some people react to them. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has received reports of allergic reactions to some decal temporary tattoos. By ordering, you agree to share this section with everyone who will wear the tattoos.

  • Patch test. Apply a small piece to the inside of the arm 24 hours before the event. Don't use the tattoos if redness, itching, swelling or other irritation appears.
  • Where not to use. Don't apply to broken, sunburned, irritated or sensitive skin, or near the eyes.
  • Stop if irritated. Remove the tattoo right away and stop use if irritation occurs. Seek medical help for a serious reaction. You can also report a reaction to the FDA at 1-888-INFO-FDA (1-888-463-6332).
  • Children. Anyone under 18 needs a parent's or guardian's permission to wear the tattoos, and children must be supervised by an adult when applying and removing them. Follow any age warning on the package.
  • Ingredients. Our tattoos are printed by a third-party printer, and ingredient and allergen information comes from that printer. Check the package label, and email us if you'd like the ingredient information the printer provides. If you have known skin allergies, check the ingredients before use. We do not make any certification, approval or "hypoallergenic" claim about the tattoos.
  • Removal. Rub gently with baby oil, rubbing alcohol or makeup remover, or press and lift with tape, then wash with soap and water. Don't scrub hard.

Assumption of risk. You use the tattoos at your own risk. To the extent the law allows, we are not responsible for reactions from use against these instructions, including skipping the patch test.

8. Cancellations and refunds

Every order is custom-made, so refunds are limited:

  • Before the first proof is sent: cancel for a full refund.
  • After the first proof, before you approve a proof: cancel for a refund minus a design fee of $10 for a 5-pack, $15 for a 10-pack, or $25 for an event kit. Paid revision fees are not refundable.
  • After you approve a proof: no cancellations or refunds, except as stated below and in Section 9.
  • Printing defects or shipping damage: if your tattoos arrive misprinted (different from the approved proof) or damaged, email support@sleepysquid.com within 7 days of delivery with your order number and photos of the problem and the packaging. If we confirm the issue, we will reprint or refund the affected items, at our choice.
  • Not covered: errors in a proof you approved, normal differences between on-screen and printed color, change of mind, a cancelled or moved event, or an order placed later than our recommended lead time.

Nothing in these Terms takes away any right you have under law that cannot be waived.

9. Shipping and delivery

  • U.S. only. We ship only to addresses in the United States.
  • Printing and shipping partner. Our printing partner, StickerYou, prints and ships orders directly to you.
  • Estimated ship date. Production begins after you approve your proof and payment is complete. We'll give you an estimated ship date when you approve your proof. Delivery times after shipping are the carrier's estimates. We don't guarantee delivery by any date, including your event date.
  • If we can't ship on time. If we learn we can't ship by the date we gave you, we'll tell you promptly, give you a revised ship date, and let you choose to cancel for a full refund of that order or accept the new date. If you cancel, we'll refund you within 7 business days (or credit your card within one billing cycle).
  • Order ahead. We recommend ordering 3–4 weeks before your event to allow for proofing, printing and shipping.
  • Rush shipping (event kits). See the Rush Shipping clause below.
  • Your address. You are responsible for giving a complete, correct address. We aren't responsible for orders sent to the address you gave us. Reshipping costs caused by an incorrect address are yours.
  • Lost packages and carrier delays. Once your order is handed to the carrier, delays are outside our control. If tracking shows a package lost, or it hasn't arrived 10 business days after the estimated delivery date, contact us and we'll work with the printer and carrier on a claim. If the package is confirmed lost, we will reprint or refund. Packages marked delivered are your responsibility, except as required by law.

Rush Shipping. Rush shipping is an optional $29 add-on available for event kits. It upgrades your order to a faster shipping method. When you approve your proof, we'll tell you the estimated rush ship date and the carrier's estimated delivery time for the rush method, and we'll only give dates we have a reasonable basis to expect we can meet. Rush shipping is not a guarantee of delivery by any date, including your event date. If your rush order does not ship by the rush ship date we gave you, or the rush method is not used, we will refund the $29 rush fee. In addition, if we learn we can't ship by the date we gave you, we'll tell you promptly and you may cancel the whole order for a full refund, including the rush fee, as described above. The rush fee is otherwise non-refundable once your order ships by the rush method.

10. Payments

When online ordering opens, you'll pay on Stripe's hosted checkout page. Your card details go directly to Stripe and never reach our servers; Stripe handles them under its own terms and privacy policy. You authorize us to charge your payment method for the order total, applicable taxes and shipping, any rush fee you select, and any extra revision rounds you request. These are one-time charges; there is no subscription or automatic renewal.

11. Etsy orders

If you buy from us on Etsy, your purchase is also subject to Etsy's own terms and policies, including its payment and purchase-protection rules. If these Terms conflict with Etsy's policies for an Etsy order, Etsy's policies control to the extent Etsy requires.

12. Using the Site

Don't misuse the Site: no hacking, scraping, spam, or submitting someone else's personal information without permission. The Site and its content (other than Your Content) belong to SleepySquid LLC or its licensors.

13. Disclaimers

Except as stated in these Terms, the Site, designs and products are provided "as is" and "as available." To the fullest extent the law allows, we disclaim all implied warranties, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement. We don't promise the Site will be error-free or always available. Some states don't allow these exclusions, so some may not apply to you.

14. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent the law allows: (a) we are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for lost profits or event costs; and (b) our total liability for any claim relating to the Site, an order or these Terms is limited to the amount you paid us for the order the claim relates to. These limits don't apply where the law doesn't allow them, such as liability for gross negligence or willful misconduct, or for personal injury where limitation is not permitted.

15. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Maryland, without regard to its conflict-of-law rules. Please contact us first; most issues can be solved by email. If we can't resolve it within 30 days, either of us may bring a claim in small claims court if it qualifies, or otherwise in the state or federal courts located in Maryland, and we each consent to their jurisdiction. Nothing here limits any right you have to bring a claim in your home state where the law gives you that right.

16. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms. We'll post the new version with a new effective date. Changes apply to orders placed after the effective date; the Terms in place when you ordered apply to that order.

17. Other terms

If any part of these Terms is unenforceable, the rest stays in effect. Our failure to enforce a term isn't a waiver. You may not assign these Terms without our consent. These Terms, plus our Privacy Policy and your order details, are the full agreement between us about your order.
