CUSTOMER SUPPLIED GOODS. I will embroider the customers’ supplied items at my own discretion. The customer understands that Oak Embroidery maintains the highest degree of quality and workmanship.  However, I cannot always prevent or control a failure of the embellishment equipment or unexpected results on items that I do not provide.  Problems rarely occur, but you need to be aware of this possibility. If you supply an item, then you accept the risk. Oak Embroidery is not responsible for replacement or cost of customer supplied goods if they become damaged in the process of embellishment.

If the Customer is supplying all or part of the goods in an order, the Customer takes full responsibility for those goods. The Company will not be liable for any defects or quality of the items provided by the Customer.

The Customer will be notified of any discrepancies in color, size, or quantity only. The Customer is responsible for all shipping costs incurred from the Manufacturer drop shipping items to the Company.

CARE AND WASHING INSTRUCTIONS OF EMBELLISHED ITEMS. All embellished items should be washed with care. All garments should be turned inside out when washing and put through a gentle cycle in cold water only, without chlorine bleach. Only hang dry and do not iron embellishment directly. Following these instructions will provide maximum durability and colorfastness.
