​
Where will you place the rental stork yard sign?
We use our best judgment regarding sign placement to ensure optimal visibility and a pleasing backdrop for photographs. If there is a specific spot you would like for the sign to be placed, please notify us when you place your order and we will do our best to accommodate your request.
​
May I mow or use a weed eater around the stork? May I attach things to the stork? May I move the stork?
Please keep all lawn equipment away from the signs. Weed eaters and mowers damage the signs if contact is made with the sign.
Please do not attach anything to the sign, including balloons. When a balloon pops-the sun bakes the latex into the sign causing permanent damage. Please do not move and/or remove the yard sign as damage can occur. If you want the sign picked up early, please contact us and we will do so.
​
What happens if the stork sign gets damaged?
If you notice any damage on the sign please notify Sweet Storks and More immediately!! Our signs are durable, weather-resistant, and designed to last. However, the signs are not designed for climbing. We are not responsible or liable for any and all injuries involving the sign while on your property. Homeowner is responsible for keeping all lawn equipment away from the signs. The Homeowner will be responsible for replacing the damaged stork or any damaged parts at the purchase price to Sweet Storks and More.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
