Privacy Policy:
At Sassy Baby Designs, we care very much about your safety and security. We will collect your information for ordering purposes only and never sell, trade or distribute your information to a third party. We hate spam and know you do too! We will only use your email address once or twice a year to alert you of special holiday offers of which you can opt out at any time. You will never receive spam from placing your order.
We do occasionally use our customer's proofs on our website for promotional purposes only. We will always remove any identifiable information.
We ensure your payment information is safe and secure by handling all of your payment information through Paypal. It is a secure, well-known, well-trusted website. We do not have access to any of the payment information other than your address.
Thank you for visiting our site. We want to make this an easy and enjoyable experience. Please contact us with any questions or comments.
Can I View My Design Before Ordering?:
Our announcements and designs are so custom crafted that it would be impossible to offer what many simple type and artwork sites show. You are submitting your baby's photograph for an elegant design. We do not simply "plop" your photos into a template. We look at each photo, adjust it for color, and twist it this way and that to make it perfect. There is not a formula for what we do. Being able to see your announcement in a computerized template before placing the order wouldn't do our announcements justice - that's just not us.
Unfortunately, the world of home computers, photo software, and great home printers make it impossible to send an email proof to you before payment. Our company makes it our #1 goal to make you happy before we send your proof off to our professional lab for printing. We will make corrections, edits, even change the design to make sure you are thrilled with your announcements.
Cancellation policy: If your order is cancelled before a proof has been emailed to you, you will receive a full refund via Paypal. If the order is cancelled after you receive your proof via email, a $35 design charge will apply and the rest of your original payment will be refunded.
Your payments through Paypal via credit card or your Paypal account make your payment refundable if we fail to provide the promised service. This is something that would never happen, but it's always nice for you to know since this is the big world wide web. We have hundreds of satisified parents, and we don't see that changing anytime soon!
