1. Can I cancel or make changes to an order I recently placed?

   Once you submit your order it is final. No changes can be made after you have reviewed and submitted it. Once your order is confirmed and upon acceptance of your artwork, production of your personalized lighters begins. Submission of your order on our site confirms and acknowledges that you have reviewed and verified the accuracy of your entire order prior to submitting.

3. Can I use an image I didn’t create or images of celebrities, logos or images of other people?

   Due to copyright and/or trademark laws, you should not use an image you did not create or images of celebrities, logos or images of other people. Also, before you submit your Artwork you will be required to confirm that the Artwork you submit for personalization is your own and you assume all liability in association with your design.

4. Can I use images from a stock photo house or from the Internet/social media?

   Please use your own original Artwork. Just because something is available on the Internet or from a third party does not mean that you have the right to use it. Please be sure to obtain all necessary approvals, permissions and licenses before submitting your Artwork.

5. What happens if my artwork is not accepted?

   If your personalized lighter order did not comply with BIC’s Artwork Guidelines for personalized lighters, you will either receive a pop-up notification when uploading your artwork or a confirmation email indicating that your artwork has not met BIC’s guidelines and has been rejected. Your entire order will be canceled and your credit card will not be charged. You will need to redesign your personalized lighter to meet our Guidelines and submit a new order. If your order included other BIC products, you will need to submit a new order.

6. Will BIC own my designs?

   No, BIC does not own the Artwork you submit for personalization. You are granting BIC a limited, non-exclusive license to use your submitted Artwork for the manufacturing of your personalized lighter.

   If you want to reorder additional lighters with the same Artwork, you will need to place a new order and upload the Artwork again.

8. Why does my name have to appear on the personalized lighters I created?

   Your name is displayed on the lighter, as you are the owner of the Artwork. Your personalized lighter will state, “Personalized by __________________.” on the warning label.

If you do not create an account before placing your order and checking out as a Guest, then the name will be populated from the "Bill to" field that is in the checkout process.
