Terms of Service

(SECTION 1) Refund Policy

1.1 Returns Policy

Kocreators goes to great lengths to ensure that all orders are filled accurately, on time, and are of the highest possible quality. Accordingly, Kocreators accepts returns and will refund payment if and when customers are disappointed by Kocreators merchandise for one of the following reasons: (a) the apparel garments are materially flawed with holes, tears, or color discrepancies throughout the garment. (Please note that many garment brands vary from brand to brand and Kocreators is not liable for customer dissatisfaction due to garment brands they choose to purchase. After Kocreators has fully disclosed specifications of the garment including but not limited to: the weight, color, and material of the garment, it is the customer’s responsibility to make a decision on the garment they want to purchase. Samples can be sent out prior to starting production if the customer is unsure.; (b) the quality of the decorating (i.e., the printing or embroidery) is below a reasonable range of expectations; or (c) the design of the final product is materially different from the final design approved by the customer in the virtual proof. If a customer decides to return their order, they have 30 days from when the order is received to send it back. To initiate a return, please email us at help@kocreators.com and a representative will assist you with your order.

1.2 Cancellation Policy

For Standard Delivery orders, you may change or cancel your order within twenty-four (24) hours of remitting payment for your order. You cannot cancel your order after 24 hours because it has already gone into production. There will be a cancellation fee in the amount of 20% of the subtotal that the customer will incur if Kocreators has to ship back items to their apparel suppliers and pay restocking fees that are charged by their vendor(s).

For Rush Delivery orders (any order requiring faster delivery than a Standard Delivery order), you may not change or cancel your order once payment has been received, as production time has been set aside in our facility to prioritize your rush order in the queue before other customers.

(SECTION 6) Cookies and other tracking mechanisms

We may automatically collect information about you through the use of common information-gathering tools, as well as new tracking technologies that develop as technology evolves. The tools that we or our service providers may use to track you include the following:

Cookies. A cookie is a small string of text that a website can send to your browser to help the website remember and customize your visit. For example, we use cookies to help us to tailor our Site to you, remember your orders, keep you logged into your account, and compile statistics about Site usage. With most Internet browsers or other software, you can erase cookies from your computer hard drive, block or disable cookies or receive a warning before a cookie is stored. Please refer to your browser instructions to learn more about these functions. If you reject cookies, functionality of the Site may be limited, and you may not be able to take advantage of many of the Site’s features (e.g., you may not be able to stay logged into your account).
Web beacons/clear GIFs. Clear graphics interchange format images (“GIFs”) are tiny graphics with a unique identifier, similar in function to cookies, that are embedded invisibly on web pages or in emails. We or our service providers may use clear GIFs (also known as web beacons, web bugs or pixel tags) in connection with our Site to track the activities of visitors to our Site, help us manage content and compile statistics about usage of our Site. We or our service providers may also use clear GIFs in emails to our users, to help us track email response rates, identify when our emails are viewed and track whether our emails are forwarded.
LSOs. We may also use local storage objects (“LSOs”) to store your Site preferences and to personalize your visit. LSOs are different from browser cookies because of the amount and type of data stored. Typically, you cannot control, delete or disable the acceptance of LSOs through your web browser. For more information on Flash LSOs, or to learn how to manage your settings for Flash LSOs, please click here. We may use applications, servers and other technology provided by third-party companies, such as Google Analytics, to help us improve our Site, performance and user experiences. These entities may use cookies and information-gathering tools, such as web beacons or LSOs, to perform their services.

(SECTION 7) Online advertising

We use third-party marketing or advertising companies (e.g., Google Customer Match) to serve advertisements on our Site and on third-party websites or other media (e.g., social networking platforms). This enables these third parties to target advertisements to you for products and services in which you might be interested. These advertisements may be targeted based on the pages you view on our Site or on third-party websites, as well as other information that they may have about you. These third parties may use cookies, JavaScript, web beacons (including clear GIFs), LSOs and other tracking technologies to measure the effectiveness of their ads and to personalize advertising content to you. We may provide these third-party advertisers with information, including Personal Information, about you, as permitted under our agreements with such third parties.

Users in the United States may opt out of many third-party ad networks. For example, you may go to the Digital Advertising Alliance (“DAA”) Consumer Choice Page for information about opting out of interest-based advertising and your choices regarding having information used by DAA companies. You may also go to the Network Advertising Initiative (“NAI”) Consumer Opt-Out Page for information about opting out of interest-based advertising and your choices regarding having information used by NAI members.

Opting out from one or more companies listed on the DAA Consumer Choice Page or the NAI Consumer Opt-Out Page will opt you out from those companies’ delivery of interest-based content or advertisements to you, but it does not mean you will no longer receive any advertising through our Site or on other websites. Please note that even if you opt out, you may continue to receive advertisements, for example, based on the particular website that you are viewing (i.e., contextually based ads). Also, if your browsers are configured to reject cookies when you opt out on the DAA or NAI websites, your opt out may not be effective. Additional information is available on the DAA’s website at www.aboutads.info or the NAI’s website at www.networkadvertising.org.

The service providers we use for online advertising may change. However, for your convenience, here are the opt outs for some of the advertising service providers we use as of the “Last Modified” date of this Policy:
