Terms and Conditions:

OUR GUARANTEE

We at Hamilton’s value your business greatly. It is our mission to keep customers for many years to come by continuing to exceed product quality and service expectations. Hamilton’s guarantees materials and workmanship on all merchandise.

PRODUCTION SCHEDULE

All of our costumes are made to order, and we do not stock any inventory.  Current estimated production of regular orders is approximately 15-20 business days from the order date.  As our order volume fluctuates throughout the year, our manufacturing time varies to reflect that.  Please contact Customer Service for the current production date, or if you require the costumes with a quicker turnaround time.  Estimated production of custom art projects varies, depending on the design request and process. Hamilton’s does not guarantee production times on custom garments due to the variable conditions in custom manufacturing and decorating. PLEASE NOTE: NO CHANGES* can be made to an order once it has been confirmed and received. *Changes refers to names, sizes, quantities, additions and deletions.  Any order cancellations must be completed no more than 24 to 48 hours after the order has been placed. If you would still like to cancel after 48 hours, you will lose the deposit (50%) and the garment(s) will be considered abandoned.

ARTWORK

The customer assumes full responsibility once the proof is approved. Colors will be printed as close to the proof as possible. Graphics will be sized according to industry standards. The proof represents a digital version of the artwork. A digital proof is an on-screen representation of your artwork files not the actual printed garment. It is intended for viewing purposes only. Print colors may change 3-5% depending on the color setting of your monitor as well as the type of fabric being printed. Please note that when using various printing methods such as sublimation and discharge of water based inks, print colors may change up to 10%. Production times begin once the artwork and sample have been approved.   Changes to any custom artwork or additional requests for new artwork after order placement, will delay the start of production and the subsequent estimated delivery date.

NON-EXCLUSIVITY

All customer's artwork and designs are custom designed with the intention of creating unique and distinctive apparel. However, Hamilton’s does not promise or guarantee exclusivity of design to any customer.

Hamilton's owns both the copyright in the artwork, and the physical artwork. Ownership of the copyright is an intellectual property right of Hamilton's. A sale of the physical artwork or print does not transfer the copyright in the artwork. In other words, although the client may "own" a print of art, the company who created the works owns the copyright, including all ways in which that artwork is represented (photos, videos, ads, logos, branding etc).

Custom art fees and or color change fees do not permit exclusivity. Custom art and color change fees are for creation and not for exclusive use.

 

PAYMENT TERMS

Payment is required at the time an order is placed online. Payments are processed through our secure portal. Customers have the option of paying directly only with their Visa, MasterCard, AMEX, Diners Club, Discover, G Pay, Apple Pay, and Shop Pay.

Hamilton's is not responsible for any International Taxes related to shipping for orders to Europe. 

DUTY INVOICE

All of Hamilton’s products fall under NAFTA as they are all produced in North America. Our customers are not expected to bear any duties on their orders. Hamilton's is pleased to cover these costs and initiate a Duty Drawback process with UPS. In order to do so we request timely notification, within 15 days once you have been notified by UPS along with the scanned copy of all documents in order for us to claim a Duty Drawback.

RETURNS
