TERMS & CONDITIONS

Welcome to Solace Theory.

We believe in creating garments intended to be worn, lived in and kept for years to come. The following Terms & Conditions outline how we operate, ship, fulfil and support our products.

By accessing this website or placing an order, you agree to the following Terms & Conditions.

Should you have any questions at any stage, please contact us at info@solacetheory.com.

RETURNS, EXCHANGES & CREDIT NOTES
We understand that purchasing garments online can sometimes be difficult. To help you make the right choice, we provide detailed product descriptions, garment measurements and sizing information for every product.

If you are unsure about sizing or fit prior to purchase, we encourage you to contact us. We are always happy to assist.

If you are not completely satisfied with your purchase, eligible items may be returned or exchanged within 7 days of delivery.

To be eligible for a return or exchange:

  • The item must be returned within 7 days of delivery.
  • The item must be unworn, unused and unwashed.
  • The item must be returned in its original condition with all original packaging and tags attached.
  • The item must not show signs of wear, damage, staining, odours, alterations or misuse.

Once the returned item has been received and inspected, an exchange or Credit Note may be issued.

Original shipping charges are non-refundable.

Return shipping costs are the responsibility of the customer unless the item is faulty or an error has occurred on our behalf.

Unfortunately, we are unable to accept returns that do not meet the above conditions.

FAULTY OR INCORRECT ITEMS
If something is not quite right with your order, please contact us within 7 days of delivery at info@solacetheory.com.

Where a fault is confirmed, we will work with you to find an appropriate solution. Depending on the circumstances, this may include:

  • Repair
  • Replacement
  • Exchange
  • Credit Note
  • Refund

The most suitable outcome will depend on the nature of the issue and product availability.

PRODUCT VARIATIONS
Many Solace Theory garments are produced using natural fibres, specialty fabrics and traditional manufacturing processes.

Variations in texture, colour and character are often an inherent part of these materials and are something we value rather than seek to eliminate.

No two garments are completely identical, and we believe these subtle differences contribute to the individuality of each piece.

WHAT IS NOT CONSIDERED A FAULT
The following are generally not considered manufacturing faults:
  • Natural variations in fabric texture, colour or weave.
  • Loose or excess threads.
  • Minor measurement variations within accepted industry tolerances.
  • Natural ageing, fading and wear resulting from regular use.
  • Characteristics unique to garment-dyed, washed or specialty fabrics.
  • Changes resulting from improper care, washing or storage.
  • Damage caused by misuse, alterations or accidents.

Many of these characteristics are an inherent part of working with natural fibres and specialty materials and should not be considered defects.

ARCHIVE, SAMPLE & PROMOTIONAL ITEMS
Archive, Sample & Promotional Items are often offered in limited quantities and may not be reproduced.

For this reason, these items are considered final sale and are not eligible for return, exchange, Credit Note or refund unless required under Australian Consumer Law.

As these pieces are often produced in limited quantities and may not be reproduced, we encourage customers to carefully review all sizing and product information prior to purchase.

CUSTOM ORDERS
Custom Orders are created specifically for the individual customer and are therefore subject to separate conditions.

Because these garments are produced specifically for you, they cannot be returned, exchanged or refunded once production has commenced.

We understand that plans can change, which is why Custom Orders may be cancelled within 24 hours of purchase.

After this period, materials may have been allocated and work may already be underway on your garment. Unfortunately, we are unable to accept cancellations beyond this point.

Production timeframes are estimates only and may vary depending on fabric availability, production schedules and manufacturing requirements.

SHIPPING
Solace Theory ships domestically within Australia and to select international destinations.

Shipping timeframes provided are estimates only and should not be considered guaranteed delivery dates.

Once an order has been dispatched, delivery times are controlled by the shipping provider.

Tracking information will be supplied where available.

INTERNATIONAL ORDERS
For international orders, duties, taxes and import charges are generally collected at checkout where applicable.

If you require alternative arrangements, please contact us prior to placing your order and we will do our best to assist.

Customers are responsible for complying with any local import requirements and regulations applicable within their country.

LOST OR DELAYED PARCELS
If your parcel appears to be delayed or missing, please contact us as soon as possible and we will work directly with the shipping provider to investigate the matter.

If a parcel is confirmed as lost in transit, Solace Theory may provide a replacement, Credit Note or refund depending on product availability and the circumstances of the claim.

Investigation timeframes are determined by the shipping provider and may vary.

PRODUCT CARE
Customers are responsible for following the care instructions provided with each garment.

Unfortunately, we cannot accept responsibility for damage resulting from:

  • Incorrect washing.
  • Incorrect drying.
  • Ironing damage.
  • Alterations.
  • Misuse.
  • Improper storage.
  • General wear and tear.

Following the recommended care instructions will help ensure the longevity, performance and appearance of your garment.

GIFT CERTIFICATES

Gift Certificates are non-refundable and cannot be redeemed for cash.

Gift Certificates are valid indefinitely unless otherwise required by law.

Gift Certificates may be used towards any eligible purchase on the Solace Theory website.

Please treat Gift Certificates as you would cash. Unfortunately, lost, stolen or unauthorised use of Gift Certificates may not be recoverable.

AUSTRALIAN CONSUMER LAW

Nothing in these Terms & Conditions excludes, restricts or modifies any rights or remedies available under Australian Consumer Law.

Where applicable, customers are entitled to rights and protections that cannot be excluded by law.
