Terms of Service

1. Business Description

Platemakrs LLC provides custom plate designs, digital mockups, design consultation, and customization/enhancement services at the direction of the customer.

Platemakrs is not a government agency, DMV, state motor vehicle department, law enforcement agency, or official license plate manufacturer. Our products and services are not official government-issued registration license plates.

Unless expressly stated otherwise, our products, designs, mockups, and services are intended for decorative, novelty, display, show, off-road, collectible, or custom design purposes only.

You are solely responsible for confirming whether your purchase, installation, display, or use is legal in your city, county, state, or other jurisdiction.

2. Florida Purchases — Important Legal Notice

For Florida purchases and Florida customers, the following notice applies.

Our products are not Florida registration license plates. They are sold as display, show, off-road, decorative, or novelty items only and must not be used as or over a state-issued license plate on public roads.

Florida law prohibits altering, obscuring, covering, coating, tinting, wrapping, or otherwise changing the appearance of a state-issued license plate in a way that may interfere with the plate’s legibility, angular visibility, detectability, or the ability to record plate details.

Florida law also prohibits manufacturing or selling registration license plates without written authorization from the State of Florida. Platemakrs does not represent that any product, design, mockup, or customization service is state-issued, state-approved, DMV-approved, or legal for road use.

You are solely responsible for ensuring that your purchase, requested design, installation, display, and use comply with Florida law and any other applicable law.

Nothing in these Terms is legal advice. If you have questions about whether a product, design, customization, or installation is legal, consult an attorney or the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles.

3. Display-Only / Off-Road Use

You acknowledge and agree that any enhanced, customized, decorative, painted, wrapped, modified, or custom-designed plate or plate-related product from Platemakrs is for display, show, off-road, novelty, decorative, or collectible use only, unless otherwise expressly stated in writing.

You understand that it may be illegal to drive a vehicle with an enhanced, customized, altered, wrapped, coated, painted, covered, or modified state-issued license plate.

You assume all responsibility and risk for any use, installation, display, traffic stop, citation, fine, penalty, vehicle issue, legal issue, or other consequence arising from your purchase, requested design, installation, or use.

4. Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old, or the age of majority in your state of residence, to place an order, purchase a service, approve a design, or use our services.

By using our services, you represent that you have the legal authority to enter into these Terms and that your use of our services complies with all applicable laws.

5. Orders, Custom Designs, and Digital Mockups

When you place an order, you are purchasing a custom design service, digital mockup, design consultation, customization service, product, or related service from Platemakrs.

Because our services may involve custom design work, designer time, digital mockups, consultation, personalization, customer-provided materials, preparation, and customization based on your request, work may begin shortly after your order is placed.

You are responsible for reviewing all order details, spelling, numbers, design requests, colors, layout preferences, images, logos, references, and other information before submitting your order or approving a mockup.

We may contact you by email, SMS, phone, or other available contact methods to clarify design details, send mockups, request approval, provide updates, or complete your order.

6. We Do Not Manufacture State Registration Plates

You understand and agree that Platemakrs does not manufacture official government-issued license plates or registration plates.

If a service involves customization, painting, enhancement, wrapping, design work, or modification of an existing plate, the work is performed at the customer’s direction and subject to the customer’s responsibility for legal compliance.

Platemakrs does not represent that any customized, painted, wrapped, enhanced, altered, or designed plate is legal for road use.

7. Customer-Provided Content and Materials

You may submit names, letters, numbers, logos, images, references, artwork, slogans, photos, plates, specifications, or other materials to us in connection with an order.

By submitting content or materials to Platemakrs, you represent and warrant that:

• You own or have the necessary rights, licenses, and permissions to use the content or materials;
• The content or materials do not infringe or violate any intellectual property, privacy, publicity, trademark, copyright, or other rights of any person or entity;
• The content or materials are not unlawful, defamatory, obscene, threatening, abusive, discriminatory, or otherwise improper;
• Your requested design, customization, installation, display, and use will comply with all applicable laws.

Platemakrs makes no representation regarding ownership, legality, trademark clearance, copyright clearance, or accuracy of any images, logos, text, media, plate, or design materials supplied by you.

You are solely responsible for any trademark, copyright, publicity rights, privacy rights, or legal issues caused by the content, materials, images, logos, text, or specifications you provide.

You grant Platemakrs a limited right to use, reproduce, modify, adapt, display, and create derivative works from your submitted content or materials as needed to provide our products and services, complete your order, communicate with you, maintain records, and protect our legal rights.

8. Design Approval

If a mockup, proof, preview, or design approval is provided, you are responsible for reviewing it carefully before approving.

Approval may include approval of spelling, layout, color, placement, sizing, formatting, design style, and other visible details.

Once a design is approved, changes may not be available, or additional fees may apply.

9. Registration Stickers

If your order involves a license plate with a registration sticker, you acknowledge and agree that Platemakrs is not responsible for damage to, removal of, loss of, replacement of, or inability to salvage any registration sticker, validation sticker, decal, or similar item.

You are responsible for any replacement sticker, registration, DMV, or government-related cost.

10. Color Matching Disclaimer

We strive to provide accurate representations of our colors, finishes, and designs. However, we cannot guarantee a 100% color match between website images, mockups, digital previews, or reference images and the final product.

Color may vary due to monitors, lighting, photography, material differences, printing, painting, coating, production processes, and other factors.

Minor color differences, finish differences, texture differences, or appearance variations do not constitute defects.

11. No Refund Policy

All sales are final.

Because Platemakrs provides custom plate designs, digital mockups, design consultation, customization services, and related custom work, we do not provide refunds, returns, or exchanges once an order has been placed, except where required by law or expressly agreed by us in writing.

By placing an order, you acknowledge and agree that designer time, consultation access, mockup preparation, custom work, and order preparation may begin after purchase, and that these services are non-refundable.

We may, in our sole discretion, offer store credit, revisions, replacements, or other accommodations, but doing so does not create any obligation to provide the same or similar accommodation in the future.

12. Pricing, Payments, and Billing

Prices are shown at checkout and may change at any time.

You agree to provide accurate billing and payment information. By submitting payment information, you authorize us and our payment processors to charge the applicable amount for your order.

We may use third-party payment processors, ecommerce platforms, fraud prevention tools, and related vendors to process transactions.

13. Shipping, Fulfillment, and Delivery

If your order includes a physical product, shipping and delivery times are estimates only and are not guaranteed unless expressly stated in writing.

We are not responsible for delays caused by shipping carriers, incorrect addresses, customs issues, weather, supply delays, payment issues, customer response delays, or events outside our reasonable control.

Risk of loss may pass to you when the product is transferred to the shipping carrier, to the extent permitted by law.

14. Email Communications

By providing your email address, placing an order, creating an account, submitting a form, or otherwise interacting with us, you may receive emails from Platemakrs, including transactional, administrative, order-related, customer service, and marketing emails where permitted.

You may unsubscribe from marketing emails by using the unsubscribe link included in our marketing emails or by contacting us.

If you unsubscribe from marketing emails, we will honor your request as required by applicable law. You may still receive non-promotional transactional or administrative emails where permitted by law, such as order confirmations, design updates, mockup approvals, customer service responses, payment notices, shipping updates, legal notices, or security-related communications.

15. SMS/MMS Text Message Communications

By providing your mobile phone number and opting in to receive text messages from Platemakrs, you agree to receive recurring SMS and/or MMS text messages from or on behalf of Platemakrs.

Messages may include order updates, design updates, mockup approval requests, customer service messages, abandoned cart reminders, promotional messages, personalized marketing messages, offers, and other communications.

Message frequency varies. Message and data rates may apply. Consent to receive marketing text messages is not a condition of purchase.

You may opt out of marketing text messages at any time by replying STOP to any text message from us. You may request help by replying HELP or by contacting us at info@platemakrs.com.

After you opt out of marketing text messages, we will honor your request as required by applicable law. You may still receive non-promotional transactional or administrative text messages where permitted by law, such as order confirmations, design updates, mockup approval requests, customer service responses, shipping updates, payment notices, legal notices, or security-related communications.

Mobile carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages.

16. Communication Preferences and Do Not Contact Requests

We maintain unsubscribe, suppression, and do-not-contact processes for marketing communications.

If you opt out of marketing emails or marketing text messages, we will honor your request as required by applicable law.

A request to stop marketing communications does not prevent us from sending non-promotional transactional, administrative, order-related, account-related, customer service, security-related, or legally required communications where permitted by law.

If you believe you received a marketing email or marketing text message after opting out, please contact us immediately at info@platemakrs.com so we can investigate and correct the issue.

17. Intellectual Property

All content on our website and services, including text, graphics, logos, images, videos, designs, page layouts, mockups, software, trademarks, trade names, service marks, and other materials, is owned by or licensed to Platemakrs and is protected by intellectual property laws.

You may not copy, reproduce, distribute, modify, display, publish, sell, license, or create derivative works from our content without our prior written permission.

Any custom design, mockup, concept, or artwork created by Platemakrs remains the property of Platemakrs unless we expressly transfer ownership to you in writing. Your purchase may grant you a limited right to use the final design or product for personal, decorative, display, off-road, show, or approved custom use, subject to these Terms.

18. Third-Party Rights and Brand References

You are responsible for ensuring that any names, logos, brands, teams, characters, images, designs, slogans, or other materials you request are lawful for your intended use.

Platemakrs may reject or cancel orders that appear to infringe third-party rights, violate platform policies, or create legal risk.

Any reference to third-party brands, vehicles, teams, characters, states, agencies, or organizations does not imply endorsement, sponsorship, authorization, or affiliation unless expressly stated.

19. Third-Party Services and Links

Our website and services may contain links to or integrations with third-party websites, ecommerce platforms, payment processors, shipping providers, marketing providers, analytics providers, social media platforms, or other services.

We are not responsible for the content, policies, practices, availability, or actions of third-party services. Your use of third-party services may be subject to their own terms and privacy policies.

20. Privacy

Your use of our services is also governed by our Privacy Policy. Please review our Privacy Policy to understand how we collect, use, disclose, and protect information.

21. Disclaimer of Warranties

Our website, products, services, designs, digital mockups, consultations, communications, and related features are provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Platemakrs disclaims all warranties, express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, non-infringement, availability, accuracy, reliability, and uninterrupted operation.

We do not guarantee that any custom design, product, customization, plate, or display use will be lawful for use on public roads, vehicles, or in any specific location. You are responsible for confirming applicable laws and restrictions before using or displaying any product.

22. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Platemakrs and its officers, owners, employees, contractors, agents, vendors, service providers, affiliates, and representatives will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, special, exemplary, punitive, or enhanced damages, including lost profits, lost revenue, lost data, loss of goodwill, citations, fines, penalties, vehicle issues, legal consequences, or business interruption, arising out of or relating to your use of our website, products, services, designs, digital mockups, consultations, communications, or these Terms.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, our total liability for any claim arising out of or relating to these Terms or our services will not exceed the greater of: (a) the amount you paid to Platemakrs for the order giving rise to the claim; or (b) $100.

Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations of liability, so some of the above limitations may not apply to you.

23. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Platemakrs and its officers, owners, employees, contractors, agents, vendors, service providers, affiliates, and representatives from and against any claims, damages, liabilities, losses, citations, fines, penalties, costs, and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, arising out of or relating to:

• Your use of our website, products, services, designs, mockups, customizations, plates, or communications;
• Your violation of these Terms;
• Your violation of any applicable law or regulation;
• Your violation of any rights of another person or entity;
• Any content, information, image, logo, text, plate, sticker, or material you submit to us;
• Your requested design, customization, product, installation, display, or use of any final product;
• Any traffic citation, registration issue, vehicle issue, law enforcement issue, DMV issue, trademark claim, copyright claim, or other legal consequence arising from your requested customization or use.

24. Mediation and Binding Arbitration Agreement

Please read this section carefully. It requires you and Platemakrs to resolve most disputes through mediation and then binding individual arbitration instead of in court. It also limits the manner in which you and Platemakrs can seek relief from each other.

Before filing arbitration, you and Platemakrs agree to first make a good-faith effort to resolve the dispute informally. If the dispute cannot be resolved informally, either party may request mediation. If mediation does not resolve the dispute, the dispute will be resolved by binding individual arbitration as described below.

You and Platemakrs agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating in any way to these Terms, our website, products, services, orders, designs, digital mockups, consultations, customizations, approvals, payments, refunds, cancellations, shipping, communications, text messages, emails, marketing, privacy practices, data practices, or any relationship or transaction between you and Platemakrs will be resolved by binding individual arbitration, rather than in court, except as stated below.

This arbitration agreement includes, but is not limited to, claims arising under or relating to consumer protection laws, privacy laws, advertising laws, marketing laws, the Telephone Consumer Protection Act, the CAN-SPAM Act, state telemarketing laws, state consumer protection laws, contract law, tort law, fraud, misrepresentation, negligence, and any other federal, state, or local law, rule, or regulation.

The arbitrator will have exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability, or formation of this arbitration agreement, including any claim that all or any part of this arbitration agreement is void or voidable.

25. Arbitration Procedures

The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under its applicable Consumer Arbitration Rules, as modified by these Terms.

The arbitration will be conducted by a single neutral arbitrator.

The arbitration may be conducted by telephone, video conference, written submissions, or in person, as determined by the arbitrator and the applicable rules.

Unless otherwise required by law, the arbitration will take place in Broward County, Florida, the county where you reside, or another mutually agreed location.

The arbitrator may award the same individual damages and individual relief that a court could award, subject to the limitations in these Terms. The arbitrator may not award relief for or against anyone who is not a party to the individual arbitration.

Judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

26. Class Action Waiver

To the fullest extent permitted by law, you and Platemakrs agree that each may bring claims against the other only in an individual capacity and not as a plaintiff, class member, or representative in any class action, collective action, consolidated action, private attorney general action, representative action, or other similar proceeding.

The arbitrator may not consolidate the claims of more than one person and may not preside over any form of class, collective, consolidated, private attorney general, or representative proceeding.

You and Platemakrs expressly waive the right to a jury trial and the right to participate in a class action, collective action, consolidated action, private attorney general action, representative action, or other similar proceeding.

If a final decision by a court of competent jurisdiction determines that the class action waiver in this section is unenforceable as to a particular claim or request for relief, then that claim or request for relief may proceed in court, but only after all arbitrable claims and requests for relief are resolved in arbitration.

27. Exceptions to Arbitration

Either you or Platemakrs may bring an individual claim in small claims court if the claim qualifies and remains in small claims court.

Either you or Platemakrs may seek temporary or preliminary injunctive relief in court to protect intellectual property rights, confidential information, account security, platform security, or to prevent unauthorized use or abuse of our services.

28. Arbitration Opt-Out

You may opt out of the arbitration agreement in these Terms by sending a written notice of your decision to opt out within 30 days after you first become subject to this arbitration agreement.

Your opt-out notice must include your full name, mailing address, email address, phone number if applicable, and a clear statement that you want to opt out of the arbitration agreement in the Platemakrs Terms of Service.

You must send your opt-out notice to:

Platemakrs LLC
Attn: Arbitration Opt-Out
4023 NE 6th Ave
Oakland Park, FL 33334
Email: info@platemakrs.com

Opting out of arbitration will not affect any other part of these Terms.

29. Governing Law, Venue, and Severability

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Florida, without regard to conflict of law principles, except that the Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of the arbitration agreement.

To the extent any dispute is not subject to arbitration or small claims court, the parties agree that venue will be in the state or federal courts located in Broward County, Florida, unless otherwise required by law.

If any provision of these Terms is determined by a court or arbitrator of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, unreasonable, illegal, or unenforceable, that provision will be enforced to the maximum extent possible. If it cannot be enforced, it will be severed, and the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect.

30. Prevailing Party Fees

To the extent permitted by law, in any legal action, arbitration, mediation, or proceeding arising out of or relating to these Terms, the prevailing party may be entitled to recover reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs.

31. Entire Agreement

These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy, Mobile Messaging Terms, refund policy, checkout disclosures, and any order-specific written terms, constitute the entire agreement between you and Platemakrs regarding your use of our website, products, and services.

These Terms supersede all prior or contemporaneous understandings and agreements, whether oral or written, regarding the subject matter of these Terms.

32. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. When we update these Terms, we will revise the effective date above.

Your continued use of our website, products, services, communications, or other offerings after updated Terms are posted means you accept the updated Terms.

If we make material changes to the arbitration agreement or class action waiver, we may provide notice as required by applicable law.

33. Survival

Any provisions of these Terms that by their nature should survive termination will survive, including provisions relating to intellectual property, customer-provided content, disclaimers, limitation of liability, indemnification, mediation, arbitration, class action waiver, governing law, venue, and dispute resolution.

The arbitration agreement and class action waiver survive order completion, order cancellation, unsubscribe, account closure, transaction completion, and termination of your relationship with Platemakrs.
