We try our hardest to inspect the garments as we print them, but we cannot guarantee each garment. We are not the manufacturers of these garments, so we cannot ensure their construction.

CHANGE OF MIND
Please choose your garment size and colour carefully, as once the order is placed we can not change the size or colour of the garment as we order on request directly from a number of suppliers and are unable to return incorrect garments, so please double check size and colour before placing your order.

PRICING
The T-shirt Collective reserves the right to change pricing without notice. Please note that although the The T-shirt Collective website lists prices, these may not always reflect the final price on your quote and invoice. Fluctuations in pricing may be due to increases in garment, ink, labor, or many other cost influencing factors.

OUT OF STOCK ITEMS
The T-shirt Collective is not responsible for items that are out of stock. While we check items we know to have potential stock issues, all garments are ordered from our supplier after your order is placed, and we cannot guarantee their availability.

ORDER CANCELATION
In the event an order needs to be cancelled, refunds or return of deposits will be based on the status of the order (Have the items been ordered? Have any of the items been printed? Etc.) and may be subject to penalties and/or restocking charges.
Misprints
The art of Direct To Film printing is a manual process. Sure, we have the latest technology in automated printing, however there are countless variables that can make this process an imperfect one. Loading a t-shirt onto our machine is a manual process, thus print locations will vary slightly from one to another and may not be perfectly straight. We do our best to print consistently, but the fact is that the garments themselves are imperfect.
This is the reality of Direct To Film printing. In some cases, if we misprint on a garment we will not charge you for that item.
In some rare cases that we have made a big error (like printing on the wrong garments, printing the wrong design, or printing on the wrong location), we will reprint the job for you.

RETURN POLICY
Returns will not be accepted for size exchanges, garment manufacturing faults (The T-Shirt Collective is not responsible for any garment manufacturing faults as listed in " Garment Disclaimer") or bad prints due to poor art work supplied by you the client (as stated under the heading "Artwork") Please notify us via email to authorise return. A restocking fee of $6 for returns will be charged for returns without authorisation.
Direct to Film printing – Variance and white underlay condition:
DTF printing is dependent on ‘computer controlled output’.
Artwork files are checked for quality purposes, but ultimately a computer machine reads these colours and translates these colours into ink that gets jetted directly into the fabric. DTF output is, therefore, subject to variance. This means when printing the same design several times it may not appear as sharp on one garment as another.
Additionally, it may appear different on one garment to another garment due to colours and materials reacting different to the inks. Sometimes, small speckles of white underlay can be seen on dark garments, this is most often due to sub-quality artwork which we do our best to avoid. You accept the above information and accept a 25% variance and white underlay condition, and that any issues of this nature fall outside of our return policy.

ELIGIBILITY PERSONS UNDER 18
The T-shirt Collective will only provide products or services to persons who can lawfully enter into and form contracts under applicable law.
If you are under the age of 18, but at least 13 years of age, you may order products or services only under the supervision of a parent or legal guardian who agrees to be bound by these Terms of Use. Persons under the age of 13 may view the Website but MAY NOT order products or service.

WASHING INSTRUCTIONS
You may notice discolouration on your garment, this may be due to the heat press that we use to cure the image to the garment, this WILL disappear after 1 or 2 washes.
The longevity of your tee and prints is largely up to you.
To ensure you get as much wear out of them as possible please follow washing instructions carefully.

COLD GENTLE WASH INSIDE OUT

DO NOT DRY CLEAN
DO NOT IRON THE IMAGE
DO NOT DRY IN DIRECT SUNLIGHT
