Placing an order constitutes an offer to purchase, which we may accept or decline at our discretion. Orders are not confirmed until payment is received. For custom orders, including personalized designs such as embroidery, prints, or custom hoodies and T-shirts, customers must submit requests via WhatsApp or email after purchase, providing all necessary files, images, and instructions. AQ Designs is not responsible for errors in designs submitted by customers, and once production has started, custom orders cannot be canceled. Orders are assumed to be for personal use unless explicitly stated otherwise.

All prices are in South African Rand (ZAR) unless stated otherwise, and exclude taxes, shipping, and handling unless specified. Prices may change without notice, and the price at the time of order confirmation applies. Payment methods include Yoco, PayFast, and other approved gateways, and by providing a payment method, you confirm that you are authorized to use it. Delivery times are estimates only and may be affected by courier delays, customs, or other events beyond our control. Once goods are transferred to a courier, title and risk pass to the customer. AQ Designs is not liable for lost, damaged, or delayed packages once in transit. Standard products may be returned or exchanged according to our Refund Policy, while custom products such as personalized hoodies, matric jackets, or branded items are non-refundable unless defective or damaged. Customers must notify us within seven days of receiving a defective product and provide proof of the defect if requested.
