DEFECTIVE ITEMS

Defective items refer to items that are not functioning as it should or possess a significant cosmetic defect.

The defect must be sustained at source and clearly visible upon receipt, before any washing.

Self-inflicted damages to the product such as use of overtly strong detergent, bleach, soaking, high heat and abrasion during wear are not considered defects.

 

Colour transfer that is self-inflicted during wash.

Furring and thread pulls that are self-inflicted due to abrasion against rough accessories. This is considered wear and tear.

Bursting of zips or buttons due to improper handling or wrong size ordered.

 

Foot pain or hurt due to improper wearing or ill-fitting size are not considered defects. Please try first once you received the shoes and make sure they are suitable for you to keep them.

 

Some limited examples of minor imperfections that do not affect product's overall functionality and hence, are not considered as defects are as follows:

Minor loose threads or buttons that can be easily rectified.

Varying placement of print or embroidery due to the cut of leather or fabric.

Minor dirt that can be washed off with soap and water.

Minor specks inherent in the leather or fabric that are part of manufacturing process.

Technical markings that can be washed off or blown.

Slight colour variances due to different screen colour resolutions, settings and individual perceptions.

Slight measurement variances of between 0.5cm to 1cm that are part of product tolerances.

Apparel not fitted well at intended areas due to varying body proportions for different individuals.

PRODUCT TOLERANCES

If products fall within acceptable tolerances, they would not be considered as defects.

Measurements

Clothing items may have a 0.5cm to 1.5cm difference in our given measurements as they are mass manufactured.

Colours

Colours may deviate slightly on different screens as different technological devices have varying screen colour resolutions and colour settings (e.g: Night Mode vs True Tone Mode on iPhones). Perceptions of colours may also vary for different individuals and colours can be affected by lighting conditions in which the viewer examines the product. For instance, a product's colour may be affected by outdoor and indoor lightings of different tones or intensities.

EXCHANGES

Please be sure to check our size chart before placing an order. When you have doubts about the sizing email us applying Product Inquiries here.

If you wish to process an exchange, we recommend that our customers place a new order and return the original order, as we cannot guarantee that the item will be available at the time that the exchange is received as we run in low stock.

In this case simply mark your return as a refund following our RETURN instructions and once received, and after checking it’s in the same condition it was in upon your receipt, we will refund the order. We would recommend you use a tracked service to send back, so that you are able to track it. The return shipping cost from unfitting size must be paid by the customer.

We understand how difficult it can be to buy apparel and footwear online. Royal Elastics is pleased to help with reducing shipping cost for a different size, so if you place a 2nd order different size we will refund the full amount of your 1st order without deducting the original shipping fee.
