Terms & Conditions
1. Scope of Services
These Terms and Conditions are a binding agreement between you (“Client,” “you,” or “your”) and KK&S Designs, LLC, doing business through its live engraving service, Inscribed by KK&S Designs (“Inscribed,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). They apply to live on-site engraving and personalized gifting activations. Custom signage, Corporate Gifting, and shipped products are governed by the separate KK&S Designs Terms & Conditions.
Inscribed provides live on-site laser engraving and personalized gifting activations. Inscribed is based in Maryland and primarily serves Washington, DC, Maryland, and Virginia. Events outside this region may be considered on a case-by-case basis, with any additional travel charges disclosed in the proposal or booking agreement. Embossing is not offered.
Submitting an inquiry does not create a booking and does not require acceptance of these Terms. These Terms apply once a booking is confirmed through a signed agreement. If your signed booking agreement differs from these Terms, the signed booking agreement governs that booking.
2. Booking Confirmation
Every booking requires internal approval by KK&S Designs. A booking is confirmed only after the agreement is completed and the required payment is received. No date is held without the required retainer.
3. Retainers and Payment
Each activation is quoted as a package in your written proposal, based on event details including duration, products, and staffing.
A nonrefundable booking retainer is required to reserve your date. The retainer amount is stated in your proposal or agreement.
The final balance is due 21 calendar days before the event. Bookings made within 21 calendar days of the event require full payment upfront.
4. Cancellations and Refunds
All payments received are nonrefundable, subject to applicable law.
5. Rescheduling
One reschedule is permitted with at least 30 days’ notice, subject to availability. Payments transfer to the new date. A date change within 30 days of the event is treated as a cancellation unless agreed in writing.
6. Event Changes
Requested changes to a confirmed booking, including changes to guest count, gift selection, or timing, are subject to availability and must be confirmed in writing.
7. Guest Counts and Capacity
Throughput and guest quantities are estimates unless guaranteed in writing. Actual capacity depends on the product, personalization length, station count, staffing, and guest flow.
8. Gift Selection and Personalization
Gift selections are confirmed in your proposal and are subject to product availability. Personalization is laser engraving, and results may vary by material.
9. Artwork and Branding Approval
You are responsible for supplying suitable branding assets. KK&S Designs does not create logos.
You warrant that any content, logos, or materials you provide do not infringe any third-party intellectual property rights, and you agree to indemnify KK&S Designs, LLC against claims arising from their use.
10. Staffing and Equipment Operation
KK&S Designs determines the staffing required for each activation based on the proposal. Equipment is operated only by authorized KK&S personnel.
11. Venue Access, Space, Power, and Breakdown
Event-specific venue requirements are stated in your proposal or agreement.
12. Travel and Event Expenses
Travel within 10 miles of ZIP code 21122 is included in the activation fee. Travel beyond 10 miles is quoted individually based on event location and logistics. Events outside Washington, DC, Maryland, and Virginia may be considered on a case-by-case basis. Any additional travel charges are disclosed in your proposal or booking agreement.
13. Event Disruptions
KK&S Designs, LLC is not liable for any failure or delay resulting from causes beyond our reasonable control, including acts of God, natural disasters, pandemic, epidemic, war, terrorism, riots, embargoes, acts of civil or military authorities, fire, floods, accidents, strikes, shortages of transportation, facilities, fuel, energy, labor, or materials, or failure of third-party suppliers or carriers.
14. Client Responsibilities
Event-specific client responsibilities are stated in your proposal or agreement.
15. Liability and Contractual Provisions
Limitation of liability. To the fullest extent permitted by law, KK&S Designs, LLC and its officers, employees, affiliates, agents, contractors, suppliers, and service providers are not liable for any indirect, incidental, punitive, special, or consequential damages, including lost profits, lost revenue, lost savings, or loss of data, arising from our services. Our total liability for any claim shall not exceed the amount you paid for the specific service giving rise to the claim.
Indemnification. You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless KK&S Designs, LLC and its officers, agents, contractors, suppliers, and employees from any third-party claim or demand, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, arising from your breach of these Terms or your violation of any law or the rights of a third party.
Dispute resolution. Before initiating any formal process, you agree to contact us at info@kks-events.com to attempt to resolve the dispute informally. We will attempt to resolve the dispute within thirty (30) days of receiving your notice. If unresolved, the dispute shall first be submitted to mediation. If mediation is unsuccessful, it shall be resolved by binding arbitration under the rules of the American Arbitration Association in Anne Arundel County, Maryland. Proceedings will be conducted only on an individual basis, and you waive any right to participate in a class action or class-wide arbitration. Either party may bring an individual action in small claims court if the claim qualifies.
Governing law. These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Maryland and the United States of America, without regard to conflict of law principles.
Entire agreement and severability. These Terms and your signed agreement or proposal are the entire agreement between you and us for the activation. If any provision is unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in effect. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of it.
Privacy. Personal information is governed by the Inscribed Privacy Policy.
