Weld MFG TERMS AND CONDITIONS

The goods, services or work (referred to as the “Products”) offered by Weld MFG, its subsidiaries, groups, divisions, and authorized distributors (“Seller”) are offered for sale at prices indicated in the offer, or as may be established by Seller. The offer to sell the Products and acceptance of Seller’s offer by any customer (“Buyer”) is contingent upon, and will be governed by all of the terms and conditions contained in this Offer of Sale. Buyer’s order for any Products specified in Buyer’s purchase document or Seller’s offer, proposal or quote (“Quote”) attached to the purchase order, when communicated to Seller verbally, or in writing, shall constitute acceptance of this offer.

 

RETAIL

It is uncommon that we incorrectly list prices for our products but we do reserve the right to refuse to sell the product for the erroneous price.

The receipt automatically generated for you post-order confirms purchase intent but does not constitute a contract. We may cancel an order at any time we see fit due to but not limited to: insufficient stock, suspicion of fraud, and improperly listed prices. Welf Mfg has the right to do so whether or not your credit card has been charged. Please note that in the case we do cancel your order, we will issue a refund if your credit card had been charged.

Weld Mfg will exchange or provide full refunds on all non-clearance / non-custom received within 15 days of your package's dispatch from our facilities. Both exchange and return items must appear unworn and unwashed in order to be processed for a refund. If the returned or exchanged product is found to have been used by our inspections department, no refund will be offered. The item can be sent back to you at your expense or destroyed at our warehouse. All returns and exchanged are at shipped at the expense of the customer as we do not offer 'return labels'.

We ship worldwide during the business week (Monday - Friday) using the USPS. 

If you receive a defective product, we must be notified within the first three days of receiving the product to be eligible for a return.

Custom chainstitch hats are not eligible for refunds. Like a tattoo, chainstitching by nature is 'folksy' as there's a human component since the art is done by hand and aided by machine. Purchases are made understanding this. We are not responsible for spelling errors made by customer.

Once your package has been picked up at our facility and it has been scanned by United States Postal Service, we assume no responsibility of delivery. All inquiries of delivery should be taken up with them. The "2-Day" or "3-Day" that appears next to "Priority Shipping" refers to transit once the United States Postal Service receives your package. Items will take 2-3 business days for processing before they are shipped out. This transit time could be potentially be delayed based on weather, holidays, and weekends. 

Any packages marked "delivered" on tracking but deemed not received by customer cannot be refunded. After investigation of local and national delivery resources, a replacement may be issued. The replacement would not be eligible for a refund, only an exchange, with the same exchange terms as noted above.
