These terms apply to makemycrest.com, published by Westernmost LLC, 30 N Gould St Ste R, Sheridan, WY 82801, United States (“we”). By using the site you accept them.
What a coat of arms from us is
A coat of arms made here is a design. It is not a grant of arms. In England, Wales and Northern Ireland arms are granted by the College of Arms, in Scotland by the Court of the Lord Lyon, and in Canada by the Canadian Heraldic Authority. Only they can make arms official in their jurisdictions, and we are not connected to any of them. A design from us gives you no legal status, no right to be recognized as armigerous, and no protection against anyone else using a similar design.
Do not recreate arms that belong to someone else
Many arms belong to a person, a family, a city, a university, a company or a state. You must not use the designer to recreate arms that belong to someone else or to pass a design off as theirs. We block known royal and state arms, but the list cannot cover everything, so the responsibility for what you create and how you use it is yours. If we find a design that copies someone else’s arms, we may refuse to deliver it or refund you.
Packs and files
- What you get. Digital files only. Nothing is shipped. The Print Kit costs $29, the Heirloom pack $69 and the hand-reviewed tier $149. What each includes is listed on the page where you buy it.
- Price and payment. The price is shown before you pay, including any tax. Payment is handled by Stripe.
- Your right to cancel (UK and EU customers). Digital content normally comes with a 14-day right to cancel. Because files are delivered straight away, at checkout we ask you to agree to immediate delivery and to acknowledge that you lose the right to cancel once delivery starts. If you do not agree, we cannot deliver immediately.
- If something is wrong. If a file is faulty, does not match its description or never arrives, write to us and we will fix it, replace it or refund you. This does not affect your statutory rights.
The hand-reviewed tier
The hand-reviewed tier is a check of heraldic correctness: whether the design follows the usual conventions, such as the rule of tincture, and whether the blazon matches the picture. It is not a legal service and not a genealogical service. We do not research your family, confirm a right to any arms, or search registers for conflicts.
Using your files
You may use the files you buy for personal and family purposes, such as printing, framing, engraving and sharing. You may not resell the files themselves or republish them as a template. Our site, text and tools remain ours.
Links to other sites
We link to official sources and services. We are not responsible for their content.
Liability
We take care to keep the site accurate, but we provide it as it is. To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for losses caused by relying on it. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law, including your rights as a consumer where you live.
Law
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Wyoming, United States, without affecting the mandatory consumer protections of the country where you live.
