PAYMENTS AND PROCESSING OF INVOICES

Unless credit term has been agreed upon, payment for the products shall be made by credit card, PayPal, or electronic check. Invoices are due and payable within the time period noted on your invoice, measured from the date of the invoice. Unless otherwise noted, all invoices are required to be paid to start production on custom products. An order may be invoiced separately. Hats Co. has all the discretion to cancel or deny orders. Hats Co. is not responsible for pricing, typographical, or other errors in any offer by Hats Co. and reserves the right to cancel any orders arising from such errors. For all but consumer purchases, Hats Co. reserves the right to charge you a late penalty charge of 1% per month applied against undisputed overdue amounts or the maximum rate permitted by law whichever is less. Every 30 days thereafter, you will continue to be charged an additional late penalty charge.

REFUND POLICY

Within 30 days of purchase, for any reason, undamaged stock products can be returned for a full refund, excluding custom orders as they may not be eligible for refunds.

Many of our products are custom processed, so each product may have slight variations and cannot be 100% identical to the print. Minor differences (defined as aesthetic differences of 5% or less in the product) are considered normal and acceptable. If the merchandise is defective or if you are unsatisfied with the product, please inform us within 7 days of receipt, and we will be happy to assist you.

In order to receive any type of refund, the goods in question must be returned to our office. Please contact your sales rep or our customer service team to arrange for a pickup or to receive a return shipping label. We will pay for shipping back to our company.

After we receive the items in question we will inspect for defects in quality, manufacturing, and deviation in color or design. We will only issue a refund if 6% or more of the products fail inspection. Please keep in mind that these are hand-made items.

If goods are found to be within the 5% margin of error for handmade products, we will ship them back to you and charge you the shipping costs for returning your goods to you.

If goods are found to be defective during our inspection, we will remake the products and ship the new products to you at no cost. Production time for remakes is usually 15-20 days unless otherwise agreed upon in writing.

CANCELLATION POLICY

Once an order is placed, you are free to cancel a non-rush order at any time before production has begun. Rush orders may not be canceled.

If we have not started production, you will receive a full cancellation refund.

Production starts when the mold maker begins creating the set-up for your custom product. Once this step has begun, charges are incurred and you may no longer cancel your order for a full refund.

If we have begun processing the mold for your custom order and you decide to cancel, you will be responsible for the mold charges and any other set-up fees we’ve incurred. We will deduct these enumerated costs from your payment and refund the rest of the amount you have paid.

Once we have fully manufactured the custom products you have ordered, you are responsible for the full payment amount and no cancellation refunds will be given.

CANCELLATION FEE

For canceled orders paid for by CREDIT CARD, there is a 5% cancellation fee. This fee covers the costs and fees associated with processing two credit card transactions. Thank you for your understanding. There is no cancellation fee when orders have been paid by check or money order.

RISK OF LOSS

All items purchased from our website are made pursuant to a shipment contract. The risk of loss and title for such items pass to you upon our delivery to the carrier.

PRODUCT PRICING & DESCRIPTIONS
The List Price displayed for products on our website represents the full retail price listed on the product itself, suggested by the manufacturer or supplier, or estimated in accordance with standard industry practice; or the estimated retail value for a comparably featured item offered elsewhere. The List Price is a comparative price estimate and may or may not represent the prevailing price in every area on any particular day. For certain items that are offered as a set, the List Price may represent “open-stock” prices, which means the aggregate of the manufacturer’s estimated or suggested retail price for each of the items included in the set. Where an item is offered for sale by one of our merchants, the List Price may be provided by the merchant. In cases of mispriced in our catalogs in which the item’s correct price is higher than our stated price, we will, at our discretion, either contact you for instructions before shipping or cancel your order and notice you of such cancellation.

We do not warrant the product descriptions or other content of this site is accurate, complete, reliable, current, or error-free. If a non-custom product offered on our website is not as described, your sole remedy is to return it in unused condition.
