Refund and Returns Policy – Standard Terms and Conditions

Overview

At Trophies Etc., many of our products are custom-made to order. Please review the following policy carefully before placing an order.

Our refund and returns policy lasts 15 days from the date of purchase for non-customized items only. After 15 days, we are unable to offer a refund or exchange.

Once engraving, printing, sublimation, sand-carving, or other approved custom alterations have begun, the order is considered final and non-refundable, except in cases of manufacturing defect or error caused solely by Trophies Etc.


Custom & Personalized Products

Due to the custom nature of our products, all personalized, engraved, printed, sublimated, or sand-carved items are non-returnable and non-refundable once production has begun, except in cases of manufacturing defect or error caused solely by Trophies Etc.

Variations in color, material texture, engraving depth, alignment, or appearance are inherent in custom manufacturing processes and do not constitute defects.


Artwork Proofs & Customer Approval

All custom products require customer approval of artwork, layout, spelling, and design prior to production.

Once artwork has been approved—whether by email, website approval, text message, or written confirmation—Trophies Etc. is not responsible for errors, omissions, or changes requested after approval, including but not limited to spelling, dates, colors, layout, sizing, or design elements.

Approved artwork is considered final. Any changes requested after approval may require additional charges and may affect production timelines.

By approving artwork, the customer acknowledges that they have reviewed all details and accepts full responsibility for the accuracy of the final design.

Product Images & Mockups Disclaimer

Product images, mockups, and renderings shown on this website are for illustrative and advertising purposes only.

Actual graphics shown on products are of illustration purposes based on potential customization options with varied results based on, materials, finishes, production methods, and manufacturing processes. Colors, textures, engraving depth, alignment, and final appearance may differ from images shown.

Images do not represent exact scale, size, or final layout unless explicitly stated.

Customer-Supplied Items & Assumption of Risk

Customers who provide their own items for engraving, customization, or modification acknowledge that such items are accepted at the customer’s own risk.

While Trophies Etc. takes reasonable care when working on customer-supplied items, we are not responsible for damage to items provided by the customer beyond the cost of the services performed, except in cases of gross negligence or willful misconduct.

Due to the nature of engraving, printing, and customization processes, results cannot be guaranteed on customer-supplied items, and inherent risks—including material defects, coatings, finishes, or prior damage—may cause unexpected outcomes.


Pricing Errors & Order Acceptance

While we make every effort to ensure accurate pricing and product information, errors may occur due to typographical mistakes, system issues, or other unforeseen causes.

Trophies Etc. reserves the right to correct any errors, inaccuracies, or omissions and to cancel or refuse any order placed at an incorrect price, even if the order has been confirmed or payment has been processed.

Submission of an order does not constitute final acceptance. Orders are considered accepted only after review and processing by Trophies Etc.

If payment has already been received for an order canceled due to a pricing error, a full refund will be issued promptly to the original method of payment.
