By entering into a business agreement with Dirty Hole Designs you (the buyer) agree to comply with and be bound by the following terms and conditions of sale.

From here on ‘you’ refers to the customer / buyer and ‘us’/’we’/'our' refers to Dirty Hole Designs

1. Pricing and Terms

1.1 Quotes

Quotes are valid for the goods specified in them and for 28 days from date of quote. Alterations may incur a cost rise which will be reflected in a new quote. Please bear in mind that all quotes made are made subject to the terms and conditions of sale. Any order placed is placed subject to the terms and conditions set out here, as stated on the invoice, order jobsheet and quote.

1.2 Price

Prices stated on our website or in any brochures and catalogues are approximate. A full quote will be made for any order.

Quoted unit prices do not include G.S.T. G.S.T is added to form the final gross sum where appropriate. The price payable for the goods you order and their delivery is as set out in the invoice. We reserve the right to change the prices shown at any time and we will contact you before the order is confirmed in the event of an alteration being made. An amount equal to the appropriate taxes will be added to the invoice where there is a legal obligation to collect such taxes.

1.3 Misplaced Goods, Misplaced Decimal Places or Otherwise

If, by genuine mistake, we have under priced an item, we will not be liable to supply that item to you at the stated price, provided that we notify you before we despatch the item. In those circumstances, we will notify the correct price to you so you can decide whether or not you wish to order the item at that price.

1.4 Loss of Earnings

We cannot, and will not, be held responsible for any loss of earnings, real or projected, as a result of an order being lost, arriving late, or not being as expected.

2. Ordering

2.1 Terms

We must receive payment IN FULL for the goods ordered before the order can be processed. By placing an order, you agree to pay pro-forma for the invoiced goods. Our acceptance of your order brings into existence a legally binding contract between us and you. Customers are reminded that they should satisfy themselves that the products they are ordering are suitable for their requirements before placing an order. No responsibility is placed with Dirty Hole Designs for the decision to order.


 

2.2 Orders


 

All payments must be in full and in Australian dollars ($AUD).

Conversion fees from foreign currencies must be borne by the customer and not deducted from the invoice total.

2.3 Artwork and Designs


 


 

Due to variance in the manufacturing stage and the hand-made nature of screen printing, there may be variance of up to 100mm in any dimension set out in the mock-up. Some changes can and may occur between the stated position, origination and final print placement or embellishment of any design ordered. All placements are approximate and the print will vary depending on the size of the garment - for example, a 40mm print will look smaller on an XXL garment than it would on an XS. By agreeing to these T&Cs you understand that variance in dimensions, placement, colour, ink coverage and visual appearance can change between products and agree to allow us to use our professional judgement in this matter. All artwork, designs and specifications supplied / approved are guidelines for the printing stage only.


 

2.4.2 Designs produced by us

Any designs produced by us will remain our intellectual property and may not be used in any other form without our prior written consent.


 

2.12 Turnaround Time

Our average order turnaround is 3-4 weeks. This can be as long as 6 weeks or more on complicated orders or during busy periods.

For custom high volume orders that are produced turnaround time can be up to 3 months from the date of payment.

For custom high volume orders; during the period between P/O and payment there may be items on the job production critical path that need urgent attention to ensure delivery arrives on a quoted estimate date e.g. information to produce production sample. Failure of the client to respond quickly to information / artwork / approval requests from our order management team may result in order delays.

All turnaround durations are estimates and we cannot guarantee exact delivery dates. We will not be liable for any loss incurred due to production or delivery delays.

2.13 Cancellations and Refunds

Once an order has been placed the manufacturing stage starts immediately and costs are borne immediately by us. Therefore we stress that once an order has been placed, it cannot be cancelled. Returns and refunds cannot be accepted as stated.

2.14 Colours: garments, prints and

All garment, print and embroidery colours shown on the website are only as accurate as the web design process allows. Garment, print and embroidery colours can only be matched to a pantone reference. In the matching, there will always be variance due to screen resolutions, environmental factors (such as lighting), garment colour influences on the inks and threads, and varying dye strengths. We will do our very best to match all colours, but will not be liable for any errors in matching due to a customer's perceptions. If there is any doubt, we recommend ordering a sample.


 

2.16 Show Through and Ink Coverage

All prints and embroideries will be applied to the highest quality, but due to the nature of garments there will never be 100% ink or thread coverage. No two garments are the same, and so thread will show through the prints or embroideries on some or all of your products. This is particularly the case when printing light colours on darker garments. We will not be held liable for any loss resulting from this, nor we will accept return of the garments.

2.17 Sizing

All sizes are estimates and are not guaranteed. Please double check the size chart on our website, bearing in mind that whilst sizes on size charts often relate to the body size of the wearer, rather than the garment, some size charts may differ. Due to the mix of mechanised and human manufacturing, there is some variance in garment sizing between identical products, occasionally up to an inch in each dimension across all manufacturers. Therefore exact sizing cannot be guaranteed, and size charts should be used as a guideline only. We are not responsible for any loss of earnings as a result of mis-ordered sizing or sizing variance.

2.18 The Drying Process

Every screen printed garment is dried mechanically and as such may affect the garments and prints. A print's colour can be mildly changed during this drying process, and by placing your order you understand that there may be some print colour variance between items. Some garments may take on a slight tinge from the drying process. We have a stringent quality control process, but at times some affected garments get through. This tinge can be easily rectified with a single domestic wash

2.19 Repairs

Where there has been a genuine manufacturing error i.e. holes, torn etc. We will investigate and endeavour to repair or replace affected goods as we see fit in order to supply garments to specification. This does not include ordering errors on the part of the customer, and does not supersede other related terms.


 

2.21 Title

Full title in the Goods shall remain vested in us until we receive payment in full. We reserve the right to sell any rejected goods unless specifically instructed by you not to at the order stage.

3. Delivery

3.1 Shipping

The liability for loss or damage in transit, or thereafter, shall pass to the customer upon the delivery of the order to a common carrier for shipment. Shipping dates are approximate and are based, to a great extent, on prompt receipt by us of all necessary ordering information from you. The customer shall bear all costs of transportation and insurance. We will add transportation and insurance costs to your invoice. We shall not be in default by reason of any failure in its performance under this Agreement if such failure results from, whether directly or indirectly, fire, explosion, strike, freight embargo, Act of God or of the public enemy, war, civil disturbance, act of any government, de jure or de facto, or agency or official thereof, material or labour

shortage, transportation contingencies, unusually severe weather, default of any other manufacturer or a supplier or subcontractor, quarantine, restriction, epidemic, or catastrophe, lack of timely instructions or essential information from you, or otherwise arisen out of causes beyond our control. Nor shall we at any time be liable for any incidental, special or consequential damages. The customer shall be responsible for all customs clearance and payment of all charges and duties in the territory.
