Online & Offline ordering – products, sizes, colors, printing techniques and templates

Please note, we order blank products from wholesaler distributors, and then customize these items for our clients. All sizes and colors shown online, on other’s catalogues are not under our control, and we cannot be held accountable for color variations from on screen colors to real product colors, nor can we be held responsible for sizing issues. We highly recommend ordering samples to ensure these size and color problems are not encountered. Please also note that, if a specific color or size is not available, we will offer to swap the garment or product for an alternative in a similar color and style and size, in order to fulfil your order. By accepting our terms and conditions, you understand, agree and accept any change we make in the fulfilment of your order, with no rights of refund.

Product Template Image Disclaimer

Please note, the visual product template images that are used when adding your designs are ‘template images’, this means they may not reflect the actual product ordered. The same applies to your visual mock ups.

Visual Approval

After payment, in order to offer the highest quality service, we will create and send a draft mock up, and you are entitled to 2 revisions / changes free of charge. Further changes may be charged up to $10 per revision. Once you have approved the visual layout your decision is final. Extra charges may be applied should you wish to make further changes to approved visuals. Cancellations are not accepted after this stage, but we will always try to assist you for the best possible service, but may be subject to up to 25% cancellation fee.

We will not proceed until you have approved the draft(s).

If you fail to approve your visual mock up in time, and due to your delay in approval of the visual your deadline can’t be met, your cancelation rights will be limited as we will have incurred time and charges up to this stage that may not be refundable. We will always do our best to please our customers, but you accept up to 25% cancellation charges.

Artwork disclaimer

• We will print/embroider the artwork you supply us. When uploaded or emailing us any artwork you give 2152Gear, full consent to print the artwork or designs. You confirm that the artwork is yours to use, and/or free from copyright infringement. You accept full responsibility in the event of any copyright infringement, and will fully indemnify 2152Gear. When emailing us or uploading artwork and upon payment you accept this artwork disclaimer in full.
• The visual template and online visual designer is not to scale. The size of the actual printed artworks may vary to the representation and proportions which you see online. 
• We will always aim to print your exact print sizes but you accept there may be up to a 2cm variance on print sizes and positioning.
• COLOR MATCHING: With Screen Printing we can match Coated Pantone Colour References, if you provide this we will match them as close as possible, with exception to our specialist inks (Puff, Reflective, Glow In Dark etc) which may vary from the pantone by a few shades due to the effect after drying and dilution. All other printing/embroidery techniques will be the best color match possible. Please note computer screen colors will differ from final print colors. We will not be held responsible for color variation.
• You must state Pantone colour references with your quote requests or via email, if they apply. Failure to do so will mean we will use our expertise to best match on colours.
• If the artworks files you provide are not print ready, we will try to recreate the artworks free of charge, or if significant work is required there may be an additional small charge. Artwork files that are not in high enough resolution may still be printed, but the quality of the print may be lower than we would like, and 2152Gear will not be responsible, and your order will not qualify for a reprint or refund.
• You accept full responsibility and confirm you have either provided print ready files, discussed this with us prior to payment, or are happy to pay a small charge, and also confirm that we will not be held responsible for sub-quality print finishes that are caused as a result of sub-quality and non-print ready artwork files. If you have any doubt please get in touch and we will check.
• For online sales, all artworks/files uploaded will be printed/embroidered without artwork checking, and any quality issue will not be the responsibility of us. You will not be entitled to a refund or reprint if the artwork you provided us does not meet our minimum artwork guidelines requirements.

Screen Printing – CMYK

CMYK Screen Printing is subject to print variance.

2152Gear will not be liable for color variation between the proof and the printed product. We will try our best to match the colors of the proof and the printed product but please understand that color variation differences are inherent inconsistencies of the printing process.

When printing the same design several times it may not appear as sharp on one garment as another. Additionally due to the printing process, colour variance is unavoidable from one print to another. Additionally, it may appear different on one garment to another garment due to colours and materials reacting different to the inks.

You accept the information above and accept an overall 25% of print colour variance. Any issues of this nature fall outside of our re-print and our re-fund policy.

Dye-sublimation Printing

Due to the printing process for dye sublimation, it is normal that the print leaves white/visible marks and imperfections where there are creases or folds in the garments. These marks are commonly found around the armpit area or at the seams and hems.  These issues fall outside of our reprint and refund policy.

Please be aware that a true black color cannot be achieved with dye sublimation as the T-Shirts can only absorb a certain amount of ink. Therefore, black can often not be as saturated as some other colors and may appear ‘off-black’.

Dye sublimation printing is primarily suited to all over randomly placed designs, not position specific designs but please contact us if you have any doubts. This means attempting to match up round to round hem to hem patterns may not be achievable on all or any of your orders. These issues fall outside of our reprint and refund policy.

Please consider this when submitting your designs for all over dye sublimation.

Cancellations

Cancellations may be subject up to a 25% charge due to the fact that we may have already ordered stock, prepared artwork or re-organized production of other jobs. Please note that we reserve the rights to a minimum charge of up to 25%. For online orders where the order relates to a specific printing color or product color, if you fail to read the offer and upload incorrect artwork, this is your mistake and  you may be charged up to 25% of the order if you choose to cancel due to a mistake you make when uploading artwork files.

When paying for any order, you accept these terms and conditions in full. (We will always do our best to minimise or avoid such charges).

Complaints procedure

We take complaints very seriously and we are unhappy if you are not entirely satisfied with our services. If you wish to make a complaint or request a reprint or refund, please complete the contact us form immediately and provide us with your order reference number, email address and the reason for your complaint.

You must also attach photos to help us further understand your complaint so we’re then able to take the necessary actions.

2152Gear must be notified of any issues within 2 days of receiving the order up to a maximum of 30 days from delivery of the goods.

Please note that refunds will only be considered after 2152Gear has been given every opportunity to rectify any issues with the order. We initially aim to offer a reprint or replacement if possible.

Print / embroider only service – where you supply us with the garments

We offer a print / embroidery only service whereby you can purchase the garments separately and then send them to us to be customised. When you use this service from us you understand that you’re sending the garments to us at your own risk. If they are lost in transit we will not be held responsible. You must track the delivery and handle any issues that arise in delivery. In addition, we recommend test prints to ensure that the products are suitable for the printing technique that you require. We keep a keen eye on our quality control process, but, if you are supplying the products and there are problems with the print or damage to the garments due to the printing, that are not related to the print quality, we will not be held responsible for any of the cost of the garments / products. If you do not take our advice and send samples for testing, this is your complete responsibility.

We can’t guarantee 100% perfection on goods you supply. You accept up to a 25% spoilage rate where we will not be responsible for the cost of damage caused due to printing, embroidery or the customization process. Before any print/embroider only order is processed you must include the original receipts/invoices of purchase showing the exact value or each product. We will then agree how much risk we are prepared to accept. If you fail to send us these receipts/invoices of purchase before the order is processed, we will not take any financial responsibility in the damage or loss to any of your products. If you do, we will agree in writing our limit of liability that you will accept in writing before printing/embroidery commences.

When you are supplying the goods for customisation, the stated deadline is our target deadline, we cannot guarantee this until we receive the goods for inspection.

Express orders

We will do our best to meet our client’s deadlines, but sometimes, on rare occasions, factors beyond our control impact on our ability to fulfil orders. Stock levels, wholesaler dispatch mistakes and delivery problems can arise, which are factors beyond our controls. In the event of such occasions, sometimes we have to make decisions on behalf of our clients to ensure that we’re always doing our utmost to fulfil the order. This can mean substitution of garment brands and size changes or enhanced delivery services where extra charges may be applied. We will always try to find the time to get approval from our clients for these changes, but as you will be aware, this is not always possible. When entering into an express order, you must accept these conditions and take this in to consideration in the event of ultimate problems with orders. We ask that you appreciate the effort we will go to meeting your order when discussing remedy of such rarely occurring scenarios.

Deliveries during busy periods of adverse weather conditions

At periods of seasonal high demand, or during adverse weather conditions, delivery deadlines may be missed or delayed. We will organise and ship your goods in accordance with your delivery deadline. The items will be despatched using a 3rd party courier and we will be able to provide documentary evidence for this.

Due to the departure of the UK from the European Union, all deliveries from the UK to Europe, and from the UK to anywhere outside the UK maybe subject to extra charges, taxes, duties or fees. Garment Printing reserves the right to charge you, the client, for these extra taxes, duties or fees. We may apply an extra charge to your order to cover some of these costs.

Partial Deliveries & Errors; 3rd Party Suppliers

We order blank products from leading brands and then customize them for our clients needs. At times, the leading brands and distributors send us faulty products, or do not send us the correct amounts or sizes, which is completely out of our control, but this means that production and delivery may be delayed, or an order may not be only partially delivered on the specified due date, as more products may need ordering and customizing at a later date. There may be extra charges applied to your order for the additional printing as we may have to reset all the customization machines specifically for the extra customization. You understand this supply chain problem and accept that it is beyond the controls of 2152Gear, and accept these terms.

Print Only Service Agreement

Garment Printing offers a “print / embroidery only” service where our clients can supply the garments/products (the items)  and send them to us to be customized. When using this service you accept that you’re sending the items to us at your own risk. If they are lost in transit we will not be held responsible. You must track the delivery and handle any issues that arise.

We highly recommend sample prints to ensure that the items are suitable for the printing technique that you require. We keep a keen eye on our quality control process, but, if you are supplying the items and there are problems with the print, or damage during the customization process, we will not be held responsible for any of the cost of the items, unless they have undergone a full sample test process and have been approved and signed off as such.

We will do our best to detect any problems as soon as they arise, and will aim to minimize the impact on any batch of the items, but some of our machines operate at fast automated speeds and therefore sometimes these issues do not make themselves apparent until the entire customization process is completed. Also, our customization processes involve multiple stages, and it may not be until the final stage that the problem is detected. For example, we may prepare the items, we may pre-treat them, then print them, and during the drying stage an issue may arise that could have already effected a full run. If you do not take our advice and send samples for testing and approval, you take complete responsibility for any problems that may arise during the customization process. Samples and Test prints are charged at pre agreed rates.

Before any print/embroidery only order is processed, we request the original receipts/invoices of purchase/manufacture to be sent to us, outlining the exact value of the items. We will then agree how much risk and liability we are prepared to accept in advance. (if any). If you fail to send us these receipts/invoices of purchase before the order is processed, we will not take any financial responsibility in the damage or loss to any of the items.

Garment Printing we offer a full reprint or refund policy on garments/products that we supply, if the problem is our responsibility. But when you are sending us your garments/products, we cannot guarantee 100% perfection and therefore print only services are not accepted under our standard Refunds Policy.

During customization processes, items are manually loaded and 100% accuracy is simply not possible. Our years of experience and global clients can testify to the quality we offer.

Print Only Delivery Deadlines & Cancellation Policy

When you are supplying the items for customization, the stated deadline is a target deadline but we cannot guarantee this until we receive the items for inspection. In addition, although at quoting stage we assume we can complete the customization, sometimes factors unknown to us at quoting stage can complicate an order, and mean we may have to cancel and refund. We will always do our best to meet your deadlines and complete your orders to our best ability, but in the case of print/embroidery only orders, you understand that the order may be cancelled upon receipt of the goods and that the final deadline will be confirmed when we physically receive the goods for the specific order.
