Terms & Conditions
Payment Policy:
Upfront Payment Policy
Payment is due upfront upon placing of your order. We accept cash, checks, credit cards,
and payments through our online client portal.
Half Down Payment Policy
Garment Decor requires a signed credit card authorization form to comply with our half
down payment policy. The remaining 50% is charged upon completion of your order as
determined by Garment Decor or if a partial pick-up/shipment is needed.
School Purchase Orders
Purchased orders are accepted at time of order only.
Returned Checks
There is a $30 charge for returned checks. The subsequent payment must be made with
cash, cashier's check, or credit cards.
Artwork & Print Policy:
Artwork Approval
All artwork must be approved online. Upon receiving your artwork approval, you will be
allowed to make any necessary changes. Changes to the artwork after approving the
mockup could push back your ship date and may not be possible. We will not be responsible
for errors, misspelling, or otherwise in approved digital mockups and artwork.
Image Sizes
All shirt sizes in an order will be printed with the same image size unless otherwise
requested. Different image sizes being printed on different shirt sizes will be treated as a
new order and priced as such. An image size printed within 1 inch of any seam is subject to
distortion, print imperfections, and/or other small inconsistencies. These are all considered
acceptable goods. We will not assume responsibility for print imperfections due to printing
too closely to seams.
Image Placement & Variance
We will do everything we can to ensure images are printed in a consistent location on all
garments within a run. However, small variations should be expected and we require a 3/4"
acceptable variance. If a request is made for images to be printed near the tag area on the
back of the shirt and directly over the tag, it could have small ink coverage inconsistencies
and will be considered acceptable. If there are no requests made for specific locations,
Garment Decor will resort back to industry standard practices to ensure consistent
placement.
Ink Color & Pantone Matching
We can not guarantee ink colors based on visual mockups alone due to monitors varying
significantly from one computer to the next. Therefore, Garment Decor will assign a color
code or pantone number from our ink selection list. As a result, your finished product may
look slightly different in color than your original artwork. We’ll include the color code or
pantone number in your artwork approval for you to confirm before we proceed with
production. Should your design require a specific color, Garment Decor requires a pantone
number to be provided by the client.
Reorder Ink Color
Due to the nature of printing and different fabric lots, we cannot guarantee exact ink color
matches on reorders. We will make every effort to match the original color as best as
possible. If you know a reorder will be likely, please let us know and we’ll try to keep ink on
hand if at all possible.
Seam, Collar and Zipper Printing
We do our very best to produce the best looking prints any time we pull a squeegee.
However, printing on or over any seams, collars, pockets, zippers or otherwise is subject to
distortion, print imperfections, and/or other small inconsistencies. These are all considered
acceptable goods and will not be considered misprints.
Misprinted Garments or Items
Occasionally in large production runs, a few items are misprinted and are distinctly different
than the correctly printed or embroidered order. Another potential problem is garment or
item defect could have made it past our quality control and been included in your overall job.
If this is the case with your order, please fill out our return request form via our return policy
website page with the specific item(s) and problem. In most cases, Garment Decor will
provide a credit for the cost of the misprinted or defective items from your invoice. If the
misprint quantity is larger than 5% of your total order, then you may qualify for having the
individual items replaced with a reorder. If you already plan to place a reorder and you would
just like those misprinted items included in that run, that would not be a problem.
Changes & Cancellation Policy
Orders are immediately processed upon payment of your order. Therefore, there is a 20%
restocking fee if you wish to cancel your order after you have paid. Orders can not be
changed or canceled if the order has gone through the artwork approval stage.
Garment Policy:
Blank Apparel Orders
If you are unsure about your garment selection, it is recommended you order the blank
apparel first. Blank items can be shipped directly to you at full retail cost.
Garment Subjectivity
Garment Decor will not be responsible for you not liking the garment printed on or the
printed artwork. We do our very best to make sure you have selected a garment that you
will expect and matches your needs, but we also expect you to do some research on your
own. We do our best to provide garment size specs for each product listed on our website.
If size specs are not listed on our site, we recommend you confirm and verify them on the
manufacturers' site to ensure the garment is going to fit as you intend. If there's any doubt
about whether you'll like the selected garment, we recommend ordering a blank sample
first. Please keep in mind that ordering blank samples will push back the turnaround time.
Blank samples are available for purchase, but are not refundable or transferable towards a
full production run.
Manufacturer Defects
Garment Decor is not responsible for manufacturer defects such as garment color
inconsistencies, mislabeled sizes, loose stitching, label inconsistencies, or other garment
defects. We do our best to inspect the garments as they are printed, but we cannot
guarantee each garment. We highly recommend ordering 5% extra of each size to avoid the
possibility of the aforementioned issues.
Under/Over Run Allowance
We do our very best to deliver, at minimum, the ordered quantity for each and every size on
your order. However, printing mistakes happen, screens break on press, shirts arrive with
holes or stains from the manufacturer. For that reason, we have an under/over run
allowance. This is simply an acceptable margin of error. All orders within the Under/Over
Run Allowance of the ordered quantity will be considered acceptable for delivery. For this
reason, we highly recommend you order extra garments for each size. Garment Decor will
not be responsible for profit loss on under runs. If requested, in the event of an underrun
greater than our Under/Over Run Allowance of 5%, we will reprint the remaining quantity.
Customer Supplied Garments
We request an itemized list of each style, color, size, and quantity being delivered. We will
check in the delivered quantity with the stated order quantity to ensure the proper amount
has been received. Not providing a receiving summary is subject to a confirmation fee of
$25/100 pieces. Orders shipped unsorted or mixed with other orders are subject to sorting
fees of $75/hour, $25 minimum/order. We will not be responsible for shortages.
Removing Tear-away Tags/Labels
If your shirts come with tear-away tags, we will tear those out free of charge. Please be
aware that tear-away tags may leave small pieces of the tag in the shirt seam. Unless you
have paid for tag removal service, we are not responsible for removing all pieces of the tag,
should some remain in the seam. If you want them unsewn for removal, thus eliminating the
chance of the tear-away remnants, standard manufacturer tag removal fees and
turnaround time will apply.
