We back every file we deliver with a written stitch-out guarantee. This policy explains exactly when a refund is available, the process for requesting one, and the limits that apply.
The Stitch-Out Guarantee
If a delivered file does not stitch cleanly on a properly-tensioned commercial machine, we will redo the file at no charge. If, after a documented redo, you remain unsatisfied, we will refund the full digitizing fee within 30 days of delivery.
What Qualifies for a Refund
- File does not run on the machine model you specified at order time and the failure can be reproduced on a properly-tensioned machine
- Stitch count or color count is significantly higher than what was quoted
- File format delivered does not match the format requested at order time
- Order was paid for and never delivered within 7 calendar days, with no scope change
What Does Not Qualify
- Failures caused by improper machine tension, hooping, or thread quality
- Customer changes the artwork or specs after the order is confirmed
- Stitch-out runs on a fabric or substrate different from the one specified at order time
- Customer fails to review delivered files within the 5-day approval window
How to Request a Refund
Email info@apparelpatches.com with the order number, a brief description of the issue, and a photo or short video of the stitch-out (when applicable). A senior digitizer will review within 1 business day and respond with either a free redo, a partial credit, or a full refund per this policy.
Refund Method and Timing
Approved refunds are issued to the original payment method. Most refunds appear within 5-10 business days, depending on your card issuer or bank.
Private Label Accounts
Private label accounts with NET-15 or NET-30 terms have refunds applied as credits against the next invoice unless a cash refund is specifically requested.
