By accessing or using our website or placing an order, you agree to the Terms & Conditions outlined here. These terms form a binding agreement between you (the customer) and PVCPatches.co.uk ("we," "us," or "our").

Please read this carefully. If you do not agree with any of the terms below, kindly do not use the website or our services.

Company Overview

PVCPatches.co.uk is an online store offering bespoke PVC patches, including keychain patches, military insignias, morale badges, hat patches, and more. We provide design assistance, customer support, and nationwide shipping across the United Kingdom.

Use of the Website

You must be at least 18 years old or legally capable of entering binding contracts to place an order with us. By using the site, you warrant that:

  • All information you provide is true, accurate, and current.
  • You will not use the site for fraudulent, illegal, or abusive activities.
  • You accept these terms in full.

We reserve the right to refuse service, suspend your account, or cancel your order if we suspect misuse or unlawful activity.

Intellectual Property Rights

All content found on PVCPatches.co.uk, including logos, text, designs, artwork, graphics, icons, and layout, is either owned by or licensed to us.

What this means:

  • You may view or download content for personal use.
  • You may not copy, reproduce, distribute, sell, or modify any content without written permission.
  • Designs submitted by you for custom orders remain your intellectual property. However, you grant us a limited right to use your designs strictly for production purposes.

We do not claim ownership of your designs unless expressly agreed upon.

Order Placement & Acceptance

When you place an order on our site or via email/chat, it undergoes the following process:

  • Design Brief – You provide your artwork or concept.
  • Quote & Approval – We share pricing and timelines.
  • Digital Proof – We create a mockup for your approval.
  • Production – Manufacturing begins after your confirmation and full payment.

Your order is considered confirmed only after we receive final design approval and complete payment. We reserve the right to decline any project that violates intellectual property laws, promotes hate, or conflicts with our values.

Pricing & Payment

All prices displayed on the website are in GBP (£) and exclusive of VAT unless stated otherwise.

Payment Terms:

  • We require full payment in advance before production.
  • Payments can be made via debit/credit card, bank transfer, or other approved methods.
  • Once payment is processed, you will receive an invoice and estimated delivery schedule.

We use secure, encrypted third-party processors for all payments. We do not store your card details.

Production Timeline & Delivery

Typical production timelines range from 7 to 14 business days after final approval, but this can vary based on design complexity and quantity.

We ship across the UK using reliable courier services. Shipping costs and timelines will be confirmed when the order is placed. Once dispatched, we are not liable for delays caused by third-party delivery services, but we will do our best to assist if issues arise.

Order Cancellation Policy

You may request to cancel your order only before final design approval and payment. Once production begins, cancellation is not possible due to the bespoke nature of the products.

If you cancel after design work has begun but before manufacturing, a design fee may be deducted from any refundable amount to cover our time and resources.

Return & Refund Policy

Because our products are custom-made, we cannot accept returns or offer refunds unless:

  • You receive the wrong item(s)
  • The product is defective or damaged upon delivery
  • The final product does not match your approved design

In such cases:

  • You must notify us within 24-48 hours of delivery
  • Provide clear photos and a written explanation
  • We will review and may offer a free reprint or partial/full refund

Refunds are processed via the original payment method and may take up to 7 working days.

Important: We are not liable for minor variations in colour, thickness, or texture due to the nature of the PVC manufacturing process.

Design Ownership & Usage

All custom designs you submit remain your property. We do not reproduce or share your artwork for other clients unless:

  • You grant us written permission
  • It's a design we developed in-house and offered to you

We reserve the right to feature images of completed products in our portfolio or social media, strictly for promotional use. If you wish to opt out of this, let us know in writing.

By submitting content to us, you grant us a non-exclusive, royalty-free right to use it for business purposes.
