PATCHES

Before starting production of a custom patch ordered through email, you will receive via e-mail a quote based on the information you have supplied us.

Once you have confirmed that you would like to proceed based on that e-mail and we have received your payment/deposit if your order is for 10 units or more you will be emailed a photo of your draft custom patch which will serve as a proof of your patch - please read the paragraph below regarding the proof approval.

For orders of less than 10 units production will be finalised based on the quote and the patches will manufactured based on the quote.

If your patches are ordered through our Custom Patch page, no matter what the quantity they will be manufactured according to the art/colours that were supplied through the website.

If your patches are ordered in person colours and design will be finalised at the time the order is taken

LOGOS and other APPAREL/GARMENT EMBROIDERY

We are happy to embroider garments supplied by you – under these terms and conditions.

We will take all reasonable care to ensure that your garments are not damaged in any way.

We cannot take responsibility for the end result as we cannot guarantee branding onto fabrics or garments that do not come through our regular suppliers due to the unfamiliarity of the fabrics and/or garments.

We will NOT replace any garments or items that were not supplied by us under any circumstances.

For a new logo and the order is for more than 10 units, a sample will be made and a photo will be sent via email for your approval/comment - please read the paragraph below regarding proof approval

For orders made on-line through the website for less than 10 units, they will be manufactured according to the art/colours that were supplied through the website.

Colour matching . We can either colour match visually by choosing thread that matches the image you have supplied, or by you coming into the factory, or where possible by you knowing the Madeira thread numbers that you want. If it’s important to you that your colours are exact you can check out the Madeira colour charts here https://www.sewingsupplies.co.nz/colour-charts/ always remembering that on screen colours can be a little different from actual.

Producing and delivering your order on time. Once we have obtained your approval on the order confirmation described above, we will produce your order within 10-20 working days. Large or specialty orders may require additional production time and if we think there will be a delay we’ll let you know. Replacement orders are subject to the same production time frames (as stated above) as the original order.

Once payment is made in full, your order will be sent to you via a NZ Courier. Delivery times will depend on postal service levels as outlined on their websites.

Phone us on 027 55 55 573 or contact us via email at orders@patches.co.nz. (Please note that we rarely answer the phone due to the noise in the factory.).

You are responsible for:

Legal ownership of any and all logos, trademarks and copyrights. By submitting your design to ACE or Patches, you warrant that you have the legal right to reproduce (or have reproduced) any logos or other images associated with your order. You also certify that the production of any images you submit do not infringe on any other person/entity’s intellectual property rights.

Giving due attention to the proof provided. Once you receive the emailed proof, carefully review it in detail. Please give special attention to (1) the design you have chosen, (2) the spelling of words you have chosen, (3) the colours you have chosen, (4) the size. If there are no changes or corrections to your proof, return your approval to us via reply email, otherwise let us know what needs to be changed. If major design changes are required, you may need to pay for further digitization. Because we are producing bespoke embroidery with no commercial market for cancelled orders, an approved order may not be cancelled or refunded for any reason.

Payment for your patch. Lots of work goes into digitizing and creating a draft custom embroidered proof for you. Therefore a non-refundable deposit of 50% of the order value or $100 incl GST, whichever is greater, is required before we will start the process.

All custom embroidery, will require payment of a digitization fee which will be based on the size and complexity of the patch. Once we have made your final custom embroidered order you will need to pay the final balance before we can send your order

Any custom embroidery that is not paid for in full will be held for 3 months, after which they may be sold to recover our costs or destroyed if they have no commercial value. Draft custom embroidery that do not go on to be completed may be used in printed or online promotional material unless you specify otherwise.

Receiving Your Product. It’s our goal to have your order delivered to you on or before the date you require. We hope you understand, however, that we cannot be held responsible for delays in shipping which are beyond our control, such as inaccurate/undeliverable address information, the loss or delay of your package by any NZ or International Courier service, or the unavailability of the addressee.

You must inform us within 7 days of the expected delivery date if your package has not arrived in order for us to make a claim with our courier services. In addition, there will be a shipping charge if the order is to be shipped to a location outside New Zealand.

Care of your product. We cannot be held responsible for any damage caused by misuse or incorrect care of your embroidery. Please contact us if you have any questions about how to care for your embroidered products
