    • Changes to your order/Cancellations
      • Within 30 minutes: we wait 30 minutes after you place your order before we start production. Within these 30 minutes you are welcome to contact us via live chat if you wish to edit your order or if you change your mind. Our friendly customer service team will be more than happy to help and can offer a full refund if you decide to cancel. If at any point within these 30 minutes you proceed with your order by using the "Check Design" function in your account this will be confirmation that you are happy with production to go ahead. From the point you click "Proceed", edits, changes, or cancellations are not possible any longer and we cannot provide any refund.
      • After 30 minutes: we handmake every product and personalise it to order, so as soon as we start production of your bespoke items, we have already invested into the ink, transfer paper, materials, and the workforce time specifically for your order. Due to this it is sadly too late to make any changes to your order or to edit your design. If you still wish to cancel after 30 minutes of placing an order, a mandatory 20% charge will incur.
      • You accept we exercise a degree of license to edit images to fit and to achieve the very best results. Contrado is not obliged to make these adjustments and does so without liability in order to help to achieve the best results.
      • We may contact you via email or phone to query, make changes to or confirm your designs before we proceed with production of your order. If you do not respond to our queries, this may cause delay to your order. If we contact you with queries about your order it is because we deem it necessary in order to provide the Service. We are not obliged to contact you about your order during production.
      • Please note that we are sorry we cannot retrospectively add any discount or promo code. It has to be done automatically or not at all. If you have forgotten to add a promotional discount to your order we will not be able to add this afterwards.
    • Production of products
      • Production times serve as an estimated timeline and do not warrant that the products will be produced and shipped by a specific date. We will do our best to meet this timeline.
      • All Product Sizes are expected to be accurate, but due to the nature of making customised products by hand and one by one, there will be marginal size differences in the finished item to the sizes quoted on this website.
      • Occasionally we may, at our sole discretion, substitute materials and adjust product design to accommodate production considerations in relation to supply or stock shortages.
      • All Promotional Images of our products are good likenesses for what we produce. We do not warrant that the final item will be exactly as per the images contained in this website. There are often improvements made to products that are not visible in the promotional photographs.
