Refund & Cancellation
Because every order is custom-made, our refund and cancellation policy works differently from regular retail. We have laid out every scenario below.
Effective Date: April 12, 2026Last Updated: April 12, 2026Applies To: cricstitch.site
1. Why Our Policy Is Different
Every CricStitch product is custom-designed and custom-manufactured to your exact specifications. Once manufactured, products carry your specific team identity and cannot be repurposed or sold to another customer.
2. Before Design Mockup
Cancel any time. No cost, no obligation. Simply let us know via email, phone, or WhatsApp.
3. After Mockup, Before Order Confirmation
- You can choose not to proceed at no cost in most cases
- For extensive design work (multiple detailed revisions, complex artwork), a nominal design fee (INR 500-2000) may apply — always communicated in advance
4. After Confirmation, Before Production
- Refund of advance payment minus up to 15% design/processing fee
- Processed within 7-10 working days via original payment method
5. After Production Has Started
Once production begins, cancellation is generally not possible. Materials have been cut, designs printed, and stitching may have started. These cannot be reused for another order.
- Less than 30% complete: partial refund may be possible (case-by-case)
- More than 30% complete: no refund will be offered
- Exceptional circumstances (medical emergency, team disbanded): contact us to discuss
6. Defective Products
6.1 What Counts as a Defect
- Printing errors made by our team (wrong colour, misplaced design, blurred print)
- Manufacturing defects (torn stitching, fabric holes, unfinished seams)
- Wrong product delivered
- Significant colour deviation from approved mockup beyond normal tolerances
6.2 What Does Not Count
- Errors from incorrect information you provided (wrong names, numbers, sizes, logo file)
- Minor colour variations (inherent to sublimation printing — screens display differently than fabric absorbs ink)
- Sizing within +/- 1 cm standard tolerance
- Fabric feel or texture differences that do not affect functionality
- Damage caused by you after delivery (improper washing, chemical exposure)
6.3 How to Report
- Contact within 48 hours of delivery — claims after 48 hours may be difficult to process
- Send clear photographs showing the defect (close-up and full-product images)
- Include your order number or name associated with your order
- Send to hello@cricstitch.site or WhatsApp +91 915-550-3012
6.4 Resolution
- We review within 48 hours of receiving photographs
- If confirmed as manufacturing issue: free replacement, correction, or partial/full refund
- We cover all shipping costs for returning defective items and shipping replacements
7. Customer-Provided Errors
If the product matches the approved mockup but the mockup had errors from your information — this is not eligible for free replacement. We may offer corrected items at reduced cost.
Example: If you told us "Rahul" and we printed "Rahul" but the actual name is "Rahool" — that is not our error. The mockup showed "Rahul", you approved it, we printed what was approved.
8. Colour Variations
Minor colour variations between on-screen mockup and final printed product occur due to screen calibration, fabric texture, and printing processes. These are inherent and not considered defects. If the difference is significant and clearly deviates from the mockup, contact us with photographs.
9. Refund Method
- Processed via original payment method within 7-10 working days from approval
- Your bank may take additional 3-7 working days
- Refund confirmation and reference number provided
- If not received within 15 working days, contact us to investigate
10. Non-Refundable Situations
- Changed mind after production substantially started (30%+)
- Product matches mockup but you dislike how the colour looks in person
- Errors from incorrect information you provided
- Minor inherent variations in colour, sizing, or fabric
- Damage after delivery
- Claims more than 48 hours after delivery without valid reason
