2. Eligibility to Purchase
By placing an order, you confirm that you are legally capable of entering into the transaction or that you have the authorization of a parent, guardian, organization, or other person on whose behalf you are placing the order.

3. Product Information
Controlled Mischief Co. makes reasonable efforts to provide accurate descriptions, photographs, dimensions, colours, pricing, customization options, and other product information.
Because many of our products involve handmade, custom, laser-engraved, printed, sublimated, embroidered, or otherwise personalized processes, finished products may contain reasonable variations from photographs, samples, digital renderings, or previous products.
Product photographs are intended to provide a reasonable representation of the product and should not be interpreted as a guarantee that every finished product will be identical.
4. Pricing
Unless otherwise stated, prices displayed by Controlled Mischief Co. are in Canadian dollars (CAD).
Applicable taxes and shipping charges will be disclosed during the ordering process where required.
Any mandatory charge imposed by Controlled Mischief Co. will be disclosed before the customer completes the applicable transaction. Government-imposed taxes may be added as required by law.
We reserve the right to change product prices prospectively. Price changes will not ordinarily affect an order that has already been accepted and paid for.
5. Pricing, Listing & Website Errors
While we make reasonable efforts to maintain accurate information, occasional typographical, pricing, product description, inventory, technical, or other errors may occur.
If an obvious material error affects an order, Controlled Mischief Co. may contact the customer before production or fulfillment to explain the error and provide available options.
Where we are unable or unwilling to fulfill an order because of such an error, amounts paid for the affected item will be refunded as required.
Controlled Mischief Co. will not substitute a materially different product, increase an agreed price, or make a significant change to an order without informing the customer where customer authorization is reasonably required.
6. Payment
Payment must be made using a payment method accepted by Controlled Mischief Co.
Orders may not enter production until required payment has been successfully received or other payment arrangements have been expressly agreed upon.
Customers are responsible for ensuring that billing and payment information provided is complete and accurate.
Controlled Mischief Co. reserves the right to decline or cancel transactions reasonably suspected of fraud, unauthorized payment activity, or other unlawful conduct.
7. Product Availability
Products, colors, sizes, materials, finishes, and customization options are subject to availability.
Occasionally, a product or material may become unavailable after an order has been submitted.
If this occurs, Controlled Mischief Co. may contact the customer to offer an appropriate alternative.
We will not substitute a materially different product or material without customer approval.
If an acceptable alternative cannot be arranged, the affected portion of the order may be cancelled and amounts paid for that portion refunded.
CUSTOM & PERSONALIZED ORDERS
8. Customer Information & Personalization Details
Customers are responsible for providing complete and accurate personalization information.
This may include:
-
Names
-
Dates
-
Spelling
-
Wording
-
Measurements
-
Sizes
-
Colours
-
Images
-
Photographs
-
Logos
-
Artwork
-
Placement instructions
-
Orientation
-
Design selections
-
Other customization information
Controlled Mischief Co. is not responsible for errors contained in information submitted by the customer and subsequently approved during proofing.
9. Final Proof Approval
Where Controlled Mischief Co. provides a digital or physical proof, the customer is responsible for completing the final review before production begins.
Customers should carefully inspect the entire proof, including:
-
Spelling
-
Names
-
Dates
-
Grammar
-
Wording
-
Layout
-
Design
-
Images
-
Logos
-
Placement
-
Orientation
-
Personalization
-
Overall appearance
By approving a proof, the customer confirms that the proof has been reviewed and authorizes Controlled Mischief Co. to proceed with production.
Proof approval is final.
Once the final proof has been approved, products produced according to that approved proof are final sale and are not eligible for return, refund, exchange, or replacement because of a customer-approved error, omission, spelling choice, design decision, layout, placement, or other characteristic shown in or consistent with the approved proof.
If Controlled Mischief Co. produces an item that materially differs from the approved proof because of an error made by Controlled Mischief Co., the issue will be handled in accordance with our Return & Refund Policy.
10. Changes After Proof Approval
Once a proof has been approvedand production has begun, changes cannot be guaranteed.
If a requested change can still reasonably be made, additional design, material, labour, or production charges may apply.
If the product has already been produced or personalization has permanently begun, the customer may be required to purchase a replacement product if they wish to change the approved design.
11. Order Cancellations
Customers may request cancellation within 24 hours of placing an order.
Custom and personalized orders must also be cancelled before final proof approval and before production begins.
Because production may begin within the first 24 hours, cancellation within 24 hours is not guaranteed if:
-
A final proof has already been approved;
-
Production has already begun;
-
Materials have been permanently altered; or
-
Custom work has already been completed.
Once a final proof has been approved or production has begun, custom and personalized orders are final sale.
Cancellation requests must be sent to: controlledmischiefco@gmail.com
Statutory cancellation rights available under applicable law remain unaffected.

-
Laser engraving
-
Laser marking
-
Laser cutting
-
Heat
-
Sublimation

Surface finish
-
Grain
-
Pattern
-
Edge appearance
-
Overall appearance
Natural materials such as wood, leather, stone, and slate inherently vary in colour, grain, density, pattern, knots, texture, and other characteristics.
Manufactured products may also vary between suppliers, batches, coatings, finishes, and production runs.
Normal material and production variations are not considered defects.
13. Digital Colours & Mockups
Digital screens, photographs, proofs, and mockups cannot perfectly reproduce every physical material or finished colour.
Colours may display differently depending on:
-
Device screens
-
Monitor calibration
-
Lighting
-
Photography
-
Printing processes
-
Sublimation processes
-
Materials
-
Coatings
-
Embroidery thread
-
Manufacturing variations
Digital proofs are primarily intended to represent the design, layout, wording, personalization, orientation, and approximate placement.
They do not guarantee an exact engraving colour, shade, contrast, depth, texture, printed colour, thread colour, material tone, or surface finish.
Reasonable differences caused by materials, equipment, screens, or normal production processes are not considered defects.
CUSTOMER-SUPPLIED ITEMS
14. Customer-Supplied Products
Controlled Mischief Co. may agree to personalize products supplied by the customer.
Customer-supplied products are accepted and processed at the customer's risk.
We cannot always verify the exact:
-

-
Paint
-
Plating
-
Adhesive
-
Previous treatment
-
Manufacturing process
-
Structural condition
-
Heat tolerance
-
Laser compatibility
of an item supplied by a customer.
Personalization processes can create permanent and unpredictable reactions.
Customer-supplied products may:
-
Discolour
-
Warp
-
Crack
-
Chip
-
Melt
-
Burn
-
Break
-
Delaminate
-
Lose coatings or finishes
-

By providing an item for personalization, the customer acknowledges and accepts these inherent risks.
Customer-Supplied Item Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Controlled Mischief Co. is not responsible for replacing, reimbursing, or compensating the customer for the value of a customer-supplied item that is damaged or destroyed because of:
-
Normal and reasonable personalization processing;
-
Material incompatibility;
-
An unknown or undisclosed composition or coating;
-
Hidden defects;
-
Manufacturing characteristics; or
-
An unexpected material reaction.
Customers should not submit items of significant monetary, sentimental, collectible, historical, or irreplaceable value unless they are willing to accept the risk of permanent damage or destruction.
Controlled Mischief Co. may refuse to personalize any customer-supplied product that we reasonably believe is unsafe, unsuitable, incompatible with our equipment, or at an unacceptable risk of damage.
Nothing in this section excludes liability that cannot lawfully be excluded.
15. Third-Party Manufacturer Warranties
Personalizing, engraving, printing, opening, modifying, or otherwise altering a third-party manufactured product may affect or void the original manufacturer's warranty.
Customers are responsible for determining whether personalization will affect any third-party warranty before requesting modification.
Controlled Mischief Co. does not provide or reinstate warranties issued by unrelated manufacturers unless expressly stated otherwise.
CUSTOMER ARTWORK & INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
16. Customer-Supplied Artwork, Logos & Content
Customers may provide photographs, graphics, artwork, names, logos, trademarks, designs, text, or other content for personalization.
By submitting content, the customer represents that they either:
-
Own the content and associated rights; or
-
Have received the permission, licence, or authorization necessary for Controlled Mischief Co. to reproduce it as requested.
Customers are responsible for ensuring that the requested use does not infringe another person's copyright, trademark, privacy, publicity, or other legal rights.
Controlled Mischief Co. is not responsible for determining ownership of customer-submitted intellectual property.
To the extent permitted by applicable law, customers are responsible for claims resulting from content they submitted without appropriate authorization.
17. Limited Permission to Reproduce Customer Content
When a customer provides artwork, photographs, logos, text, or other content, the customer grants Controlled Mischief Co. permission to reproduce, resize, convert, adjust, position, or otherwise process the content only as reasonably necessary to complete the requested order.
Submitting content for production does not transfer ownership of the customer's intellectual property to Controlled Mischief Co.
Controlled Mischief Co. reserves the right to refuse a customization request that we reasonably believe:
-
Is unlawful;
-
Infringes intellectual property rights;
-
Contains content we are not legally permitted to reproduce;
-
Creates a safety concern; or
-
Is otherwise inappropriate for our business to produce.

Our Approach to Custom Work
Controlled Mischief Co. creates products designed to be personal, distinctive, and anything but ordinary.
Custom work is collaborative. We ask customers to carefully review their information and proofs, and in return we take reasonable care when turning those approved designs into finished products.
Materials occasionally have minds of their own. That's part of working with real products, real materials, and a little Controlled Mischief.
Product photographs are intended to provide a reasonable representation of the product and should not be interpreted as a guarantee that every finished product will be identical.
