Terms & Conditions
All goods are sold by XAMAX® Clothing Company Limited ("the Seller") in good faith to any purchaser ("the Buyer") upon the following terms which shall prevail over any terms contained in the Buyer’s order or in correspondence or elsewhere unless specifically agreed to in writing and signed by a Director of the Seller.
1) Refunds & Returns
- Where applicable, plain garments and sample purchases will be refunded in full. Items must be sent back to The Seller through the Buyer's own expense & no carriage will be refunded unless the items are faulty. All items must be returned within 21 days.
- Personalised/Customised items fall outside of the Consumer Contracts Regulations (2014). The Seller will accept a return or refund request only in the case of a faulty base product or faulty customisation under the terms of the Conditions of Logo Application (section 2) and only from The Buyer.
- As Personalised/Customised items fall outside of the Consumer Contracts Regulations (2014), it is imperative that customers check available size guides for clothing products before ordering decorated items. The act of completing an order implies size guides have been checked and all sizes ordered are correct. Should a size guide not be available on the product description page, a XAMAX® account manager will be able to provide one on request.
- Should a part refund be requested by The Buyer for an order that originally qualified for Free Delivery, and that refund takes the total order value below the terms of The Seller's Free Delivery offer, the cost of initial delivery of the order will be deducted from the final refund value.
2) Conditions of Logo Application
- Logo set up is Free when you spend £100 +VAT on garments embroidered all with the same logo. Fair usage and company descretion based on logo complexity applies.
- Logo set up is £20 +VAT per new logo if the minimum £100 +VAT is not met. Fair usage and company descretion based on logo complexity applies.
- Individual names added to designs will incur extra costs, please speak to our sales department for further information.
- It is the customers responsibility to review the visuals thoroughly, paying special attention to spellings and colours as mistakes cannot be rectified after production.
- It is the customers responsibility to ensure they have the right and authority to use any logos or designs provided to XAMAX®. Should a design or logo provided to us be trademarked or copyrighted or confusingly similar to a trademark or copyright and XAMAX® is made aware, the order will be put on hold until such time as adequate written permission from the trademark or copyright owner is provided to XAMAX® by the buyer.
- Should a design or logo provided to us be trademarked or copyrighted or confusingly similar to a trademark or copyright and XAMAX® is unaware and completes the order in good faith, all liability for trademark or copyright infringement shall pass directly to the buyer and XAMAX® will comply fully with all legal requests for related information.
- Any logos with a stitch count higher than 8000 stitches will be subject to a surcharge of an additional 25p (£0.25) per 1000 extra stitches.
