Welcome to Sofi ("we", "us", "our"). Sofi is a Hong Kong-based print-on-demand platform that allows parents and guardians to upload their children's original artwork and have it professionally printed on high-quality apparel, including t-shirts.
By accessing or using the Sofi website (sofi.com.hk), mobile application, or any related services (collectively, the "Platform"), you agree to be bound by these Terms & Conditions ("Terms"). Please read them carefully before placing an order or creating an account.

- You are at least 18 years of age or have obtained parental/guardian consent;
- You have read, understood, and agree to these Terms;
- You agree to our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference.
If you do not agree with any part of these Terms, you must not use the Platform.

4. Products & Orders
4.1 Custom-Printed Products
Sofi offers custom print-on-demand apparel. Each product is produced individually based on the artwork file you upload. Due to the custom nature of our products, standard returns do not apply (see Section 8).
4.2 Order Confirmation
Upon placing an order, you will receive an email confirmation. This confirmation acknowledges receipt of your order and does not constitute acceptance of your order. Sofi reserves the right to cancel or refuse any order at our discretion.
4.3 Pricing
All prices are listed in Hong Kong Dollars (HKD). Prices are inclusive of any applicable taxes unless stated otherwise. Sofi reserves the right to change prices at any time without prior notice; however, the price at the time of your confirmed order will apply.
4.4 Product Variations
Colour representation of products on screen may differ slightly from the actual printed product due to variations in monitor calibration and the printing process. These minor differences do not constitute grounds for a return or refund.

- You own the rights to the uploaded artwork, or you have obtained all necessary permissions from the rights holder;
- The artwork does not infringe any third-party intellectual property rights;
