HANDMADE ITEMS - VARIABLES

There are several variations which can occur from handmade items, these are not to be considered defects in terms of product quality.

- Holes in the pocket of pullover hoodies are sewn in by the manufacturers of the plain hoodie and are intended for headphones.

- Prints are aligned with a T-ruler, but each garment is hand placed so placement and size of each design will vary.

- You will be sent the most recent/ up to date designs for your order. For example, membership designs included within the membership packs may be either the circle design or the spanner design, there is a crossover period between 2022/2023 as we switch over.

- Specs of vinyl, as each design is cut and weeded by hand, it is not uncommon for specs of vinyl to show up on garments. Unless this protrudes onto the main design this is not considered a defect.

- Imprint from the heat press is common on light colours, this will come out with a wash.

- Zip imprint, as above is common on light colours and will come out with a wash and hang dry.

Lost, missing, damaged orders

- In the event your item arrives defective or damaged you have 48 hours from receiving your item to contact our supplier directly with the issue, you must email cargirlculture.orders@gmail.com with supporting photos. It's possible orders get damaged in transit but very unlikely.

Amendment agreement

At no stage do we permit amendments to orders or agreements by consumers. All orders are final once checkout is complete with the exception of issues with shipping fees.

- We may, without warning, not be able to offer any additional personalisation requests (IE breast print requests). You are placing an order for the customised hoodie in your size, design choice and colour choice at the product price shown. No additional fees for further custom print are charged, so we reserve the right to not fulfil this.

- Once an order is placed we are unable to make changes to the product. (For example, we will order your hoodie straight away, so cannot change your size or colour) NO AMENDMENTS CAN BE MADE ONCE AN ORDER IS PLACED with the exception of shipping costs and additional breast print/ further customisation options.

If your order is sent to the wrong address due to incorrect information on your PayPal we will not refund, replace or compensate for this. It is entirely your responsibility to keep your PayPal information up to date. This may not be changed at a later date.

- We are not able to amend addresses after an order has been placed - the order placed must always be shipped to the PayPal confirmed address for insurances purposes. If you are moving house or planning a holiday we strongly recommend you use a friend or relatives address who can guarantee receipt of the order.

- If you don't pay or select the correct postage option, you will receive a PayPal invoice to pay the difference, your order will not be dispatched until the correct amount is paid.

Guarantees and warranty

- All sticker applications are down to the customer, we will not be held responsible for damage which occurs during application and will not refund or replace any stickers if this is deemed the case.

- We will not refund or replace any stickers which get damaged due to UV rays or other natural conditions such as snow or cold temperatures.

- You agree you have read the product care page in full before making your purchase, which can be found by clicking HERE and under the store heading.

- All heat transfer store items come with a 3 month warranty. This warranty begins the day of purchase, and does not cover damage from incorrect washing, storage or extraordinary circumstances. Once an item is outside of this window we will not take any action to replace or exchange the item.

- If we deem that, after a full review, that an item is damaged due to incorrect care, we will not refund or replace the item. A review will include all and any information available to us. For example, if you claim your sticker has failed and we find evidence of you not following the correct care guidelines.

Delivery terms and timeframes

Delivery times as stated on the FAQ page are subject to delays and are heavily dependent on how many orders are being processed at one time. These time are to be used as an estimate ONLY and do not guarantee your item will arrive within the advised timeframe.

If the store is shut (over holidays and other circumstances) orders will not be shipped until the dates shown on the top of the store page. A day is considered a working day, Monday to Friday and does not include any published closures or bank holidays.

It is your responsibility to note any delays from our store page.

All orders over £20 are sent tracked delivery.

Delivery timeframes are goals, and can not always be met. Whilst we try out best to ensure that all delivery goals are met we do not take responsibility if a delivery is late or delayed. Once the items have been dropped off at the parcel drop off point or at the royal mail post office, there is nothing further we can do if there are delays.

You will receive no notice, compensation or gesture if your order is late/ delayed. We update the order tracker as linked on our store page every 7 working days, this is where we publish any updates and the status of your order.

Any orders containing items which are out of stock will not be dispatched until the item or colour choice is available again. We aim to restock every 12 weeks, again this is just an estimate.

Please be aware that shipping estimates are a GOAL and we do not guarantee to meet these. There may be a multitude of reasons which orders and emails are delayed, for any queries or questions please email us as usual.

Membership items additional terms

These apply in addition to all other terms, but are relevant only to membership items.

- You must inform us of any address/ email address changes by sending us an email.

- You must comply with group rules at all times.

- You must not be an admin or team member or rep for any competing or blacklisted groups, clubs or companies.

- If you are in any form of promotional or representative position for a female based club, company or community you MUST contact us before purchase - cargirlculture@gmail.com to confirm details.

- Anyone who is an admin, moderator or promoter for any blacklisted groups

If you do not meet the decline criteria when you purchase your membership but later fall into one of the above categories you will be subject to membership termination.

You must make us aware of any changes of your situation, for example if you find yourself as a team member for what you may consider a competing group (another female based group for example) then you must make us aware within 48 hours of this change, if you fail to do so your membership will be terminated without any warning.

Termination of membership is not taken lightly, and will only happen if several admins are in agreement that your behaviour impacts the group negatively, for example if you post event links repeatedly into the VIP group where there is no post approvals. We tend to be slightly more lenient towards VIP members and group strikes, but all members only get one tag/warning. Once that single warning is given, if you continue to break group rules you will receive strikes as usual, once you hit three (all of which get recorded) you will be removed from the club without further warning or discussion and you will not be reimbursed for your membership costs. Once membership is revoked you will be banned from all applicable groups and services.

Membership will NOT be refunded if it is terminated after review.

We reserve the right to terminate membership of ANY member at admins discretion.
