Lapel Pins Limited warranties its custom made lapel pins by offering to remake or replace any lapel pins that have been determined by our factory to have defects in manufacturing within thirty (30) days of the delivery date of your lapel pins. These defects are defined as those caused by manufacturing mistakes.

Lapel Pins Limited requires written notice of claims of defects in your custom made lapel pins through email or written notification. Upon receipt Lapel Pins Limited will determine a course of action commensurate with our policy. If it is determined that a manufacturing error has occurred, your custom lapel pins will be re-manufactured at no cost to you.

As part of your customer experience, you have received a digital proof of what your lapel pins will look like in their finished form from one of our specialists. This proof is an artist’s rendition and interpretation of your custom product based on the instructions we have received from you. It is important that you review this proof for accuracy; to include spelling, size, and color usage.

Lapel Pins Limited does not accept returns, nor provide refunds or exchanges for custom made products under any circumstances.

Once an order has been placed, it cannot be changed or canceled. There are no exceptions. For the purposes of this agreement, an order is placed when the customer provides an affirmative reply to an order confirmation email, OR submits an order through our online order form.

Important Notes and Declarations:

Spelling

Lapel Pins Limited will not be responsible for spelling errors. It is the responsibility of each customer prior to approving the final proof for actual production to make sure the spelling of any text present is correct for their personal needs.

Colors

We use the PMS universal color matching system for all color applications in manufacturing each of our custom lapel pins. It is important that you confirm the color usage with a PMS color chart rather than relying on your monitor’s display of the colors. Each computer monitor, due to varied settings, will display colors differently.

All PMS colors used in the production of your custom product are listed on your digital proof for verification. It is the customer’s responsibility to verify the listed PMS colors suit their need and/or application.

A PMS color chart can usually be located at your local print or fabric store for reference. Visit www.pantone.com for complete information regarding the PMS system.

Size

The size of your lapel pins refers to the absolute two widest points on any given product. Such size includes loops and other items that facilitate an attachment to a lapel pin, coin, medallion or key chain.

Payment

Payment for all orders is required, in full, in advance for all custom orders. Payment is accepted via major credit cards to include VISA, MasterCard, American Express, Discover and United States Government Purchase Cards, check, bank wire and ACH transfers. The charges for the total amount of your order will be applied prior to manufacturing and show as “www.LapelPinsLtd.com” on your billing statement.

**Purchase Orders are not accepted under any circumstances for custom made items.

Refunds – Returns – Exchanges

Lapel Pins Limited does not accept returns, nor provide refunds or exchanges for custom made lapel pins under any circumstances. Your custom made products were crafted from costly raw materials and manufactured to your individual specifications. These products cannot be restocked or sold to another party at a later date. However, we do stand behind our products to be free of defects. As explained earlier in this agreement, we will replace at no cost to you any products found to be defective due to a factory manufacturing mistake.

Order Placement

All orders will be placed through our online order form, OR confirmed via a confirmation email if a customer processes an order over the telephone.

Telephone Orders

A confirmation email will contain all the details of the order to include; the proof number, size, metal plating, quantity, special attachments, final cost, and shipping address. The chosen digital proof will also be attached to said confirmation email.

It is the customer’s responsibility to review this confirmation email for accuracy and reply with an approval to proceed to production with the order ONLY if the customer verifies the details are correct and agrees to the Terms and Conditions herein. No order will be placed into production without an affirmative reply to a confirmation email.

Online Order Form

Our online order form is in place for your convenience. All the details of your order are entered into the order form by you, to include payment. It is the customer’s responsibility to make sure the information is accurate before submitting the order. Once an order is submitted through the online order form, no changes or cancellations can be made.

Order Cancellation and Changes

Within several minutes of receiving a reply to an order confirmation email, that order is placed into actual production. Due to the speed we deliver our products and allotment of raw materials for each order, once an order has been confirmed via email or online order form, and therefore placed, it cannot be canceled or changed.

Product Manufacturing Timetable

Lapel Pins Limited will manufacture your custom made lapel pins within 7-10 business days, and often does so much sooner. Business days do not include weekends, domestic (US) holidays, or those holidays observed by our manufacturing source overseas.

“Special Options” include orders over 3,000 pieces and special order lapel pin attachments, which may require additional time as quoted by your custom products specialist. This includes danglers, spinners, sliders, bobble-heads, and any other two-piece lapel pin.

Shipping

All custom orders are shipped via UPS International Express Saver (International Overnight) unless otherwise specified at no charge to the customer. Shipping our products to any country or territory outside of the United States will incur an additional charge.

Due to the use of third party shippers (UPS and USPS), under no circumstances does Lapel Pins Limited guarantee delivery dates or times for custom products. Lapel Pins Limited has no control over third party shipping errors or delays. We are also not responsible for shipping delays caused by International, United States Customs, or backlogs created by overseas manufacturing sources due to Customs procedures. Therefore, Lapel Pins Ltd. does not, under any circumstances, guarantee delivery dates of any products. There are no exceptions.
