No cancellations will be accepted once production or any manipulation of the garments has begun on the order (tag removal, printed tags, printing, hem tagging, etc.).

Due to the nature of this business, Fifth Column will not be responsible for under-runs or spoilage up to 10% per design (spoilage must be more than 10% per design for a reprint). Please keep this in mind when ordering (it is never a bad idea to order extras). We always do our best to get you what you ordered. We will refund you the cost of any items shorted from your order but will not process a reprint for less than 10% of your order (or 10 shirts minimum). Fifth Column will not, at any time, be responsible for any lost profits on items shorted from your order. (i.e. If you paid £3.50 per shirt to get the shirt printed but you sell them for £35.00, Fifth Column is only responsible for the £3.50 you paid us for the shirt).

Fifth Column is not responsible for manufacturer defects such as colour inconsistencies, stitching errors, mislabeled garments, loose/inconsistent stitching, and/or garment defects (holes in garments, ripped seams, etc.).

We do our best to inspect the garments as we print them, but we cannot guarantee each garment. We are not the manufacturers of these garments, so we cannot ensure their construction. We highly recommend ordering 10% extra of each size if an exact count is important.

We try to check every garment as it comes off of the press, but there are times when some mistakes will make it out the door. It is your responsibility as the customer to check over garments as you receive them. We allow an industry standard 72 hour window from the time you receive the goods to notify us of any issues with the order. Fifth Column will not be responsible for errors with your order if notified after 72 hours of receiving the goods. Fifth Column will also not be responsible for any lost income, customers, accounts, and/or contracts if defective garments are sent out to your final customer. While we do quality checks on the garments, the final quality assurance check lies in the hands of you, our customer.

We go to great lengths to try to ensure that every order that leaves our facility is correct. All of our customers are valued customers, regardless of size, and we want you all to know that. Any order printed differently than the mock-up approved will be granted a reprint of the defective product. All claims must be submitted within 72 hours of date of delivery. Please email info@fifthcolumn.co.uk to submit your claim. If Fifth Column is responsible for any errors regarding your order, we will gladly accept responsibility for the issue and will reprint the shirts printed in error. We do not offer refunds, but will reprint any production errors that exceed the spoilage rate.
