We reserve the right to cancel or refuse any order at our discretion. If we cancel your order, you will be notified, and any payments made will be refunded.

2.4 Order Changes: If you need to make changes to your order, please contact us immediately. We will do our best to accommodate your request, but we cannot guarantee that changes can be made once production has begun.

3. Pricing and Payment

3.1 Pricing: All prices listed on our website are in U.S. dollars and are subject to change without notice. The price of your order will be the price at the time you place your order. Any applicable taxes, fees, or shipping charges will be added to your total during checkout.

3.2 Payment Methods: We accept various payment methods, including credit cards, debit cards, and PayPal. Payment is due at the time of order placement. We use secure third-party payment processors to handle your payment information. We do not store your full credit card details on our servers.

3.3 Payment Disputes: If there is an issue with your payment, we reserve the right to cancel your order. In case of payment disputes, please contact our customer service team for assistance.

4. Customization and Design

4.1 Customization Process: We offer a wide range of customization options for our patches. Once you submit your design, our team will review it and may suggest modifications to ensure the best possible outcome. We will not proceed with production until you approve the final design.

4.2 Design Approval: You are responsible for reviewing and approving the final design proof before production begins. Please carefully check all details, including colors, text, and size, as we cannot make changes once the design has been approved.

4.3 Intellectual Property: By submitting a design, you represent and warrant that you have the legal right to use and reproduce the design. You agree that EmbroideredPatches.us is not liable for any copyright, trademark, or intellectual property infringement resulting from your design. We reserve the right to refuse any design that violates our policies or infringes on the rights of others.

5.2 Delivery: We aim to deliver your order within the estimated timeframe, but we are not responsible for delays caused by factors beyond our control, such as shipping carrier delays, customs processing, or natural disasters.

5.3 International Shipping: For orders shipped outside the United States, you are responsible for any import duties, taxes, or customs fees. These charges are not included in our prices or shipping fees and must be paid by the recipient upon delivery.

6. Refund Policy

6.1 Eligibility for Refunds: Refunds at EmbroideredPatches.us are granted under specific conditions to ensure fairness and transparency. You may request a refund if you receive a product that is defective, damaged, or significantly different from the approved design proof. Additionally, if your order is not delivered within a reasonable timeframe due to our fault, you may be eligible for a refund. However, it's important to note that all refund requests must be made within 7 days of receiving your order. This timeframe allows us to address any issues promptly and maintain a high standard of customer service.

6.2 Ineligibility for Refunds: Not all situations qualify for a refund. For example, refunds will not be granted for a change of mind after the design has been approved and production has begun. Additionally, slight variations in color, size, or design that are within industry-standard tolerances do not qualify for a refund. We also cannot offer refunds if incorrect shipping information was provided by the customer or if the product was damaged due to misuse or improper care. Each custom patch is crafted to your specific requirements, and minor discrepancies may occur due to the nature of the manufacturing process.

6.3 Refund Process: If your refund request is accepted, the approved refund amount will be processed back to your original payment method within 10 business days. While we strive to process refunds quickly, please be aware that your bank or payment provider may require additional time to post the funds to your account. In some cases, we may offer store credit instead of a cash refund, particularly if you prefer to use the credit for future purchases. This store credit will be valid for a set period and can be applied to any product available on EmbroideredPatches.us.

7. Return Policy

Due to the customized nature of our products, returns are generally not accepted unless the item you received is defective, damaged, or significantly different from the approved design proof. We understand that, despite all precautions, there may be instances where the product does not meet your expectations. In such cases, we encourage you to contact our customer service team within 7 days of receiving your order. Please provide a detailed description of the issue, along with photographs of the defective or incorrect item. Our team will assess the situation and determine the best course of action.

If your return request is approved, you may be eligible for a replacement or store credit. Please note that we do not offer cash refunds for returned items unless specified in the Refund Policy. Returned items must be in their original condition, unused, and accompanied by the original packaging. Custom patches that have been used, worn, or altered in any way are not eligible for returns.

8. Order Cancellation

8.1 Cancellation by Customer: We understand that circumstances can change, and you may need to cancel your order. You can request an order cancellation by contacting our customer service team as soon as you place your order. However, please be aware that cancellations can only be processed before production begins. Once your order has entered the production phase, we are unable to cancel it due to the custom nature of our products.

8.2 Cancellation by EmbroideredPatches.us: We reserve the right to cancel any order at our discretion, particularly in cases where the order cannot be fulfilled due to unforeseen circumstances, such as supply chain disruptions, errors in pricing, or issues with the submitted design. If we need to cancel your order, you will be notified promptly, and any payments made will be fully refunded. Additionally, we may cancel an order if there is a failure in payment processing, or if there is suspicion of fraudulent activity.

9. Payments and Processing of Invoices

9.1 Payments: We aim to make the payment process as simple and secure as possible. We accept a variety of payment methods, including major credit cards (Visa, MasterCard, American Express), debit cards, and online payment services like PayPal. All payments must be made in U.S. dollars, and payment is required at the time of order placement. If your payment method is declined or if there are any issues processing your payment, we will notify you promptly so that you can resolve the matter and avoid delays in your order.

9.2 Processing of Invoices: Invoices for your order will be generated and emailed to you immediately after payment is processed. The invoice will detail the items ordered, the customization specifications, and the total amount paid, including any applicable taxes and shipping fees. We recommend keeping a copy of your invoice for your records, as it serves as proof of purchase and may be required for any future inquiries or claims regarding your order.

9.3 Sensitive Data Please note that we do not collect or store sensitive payment information, such as credit card numbers or bank account details. Any sensitive information you provide during the payment process is securely handled by our payment processors. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of the payment processors to understand how your payment information is managed and protected.
