In addition, customers and influencers are requested to send in "before and after" pictures to demonstrate the products' effectiveness, topics of health, exercise and weight loss and MASKATEER® have the right to display such content on its social media platforms and websites, which it deems to be appropriate.

MISUSE, ILLNESSES AND ALLERGIES DISCLAIMER: MASKATEER® is not responsible or liable for any misuse of the products and damages resulting from it. If you suffer from any illnesses or skin conditions, which waist training could affect, please consult with MASKATEER® team beforehand or your doctor. We strictly prohibit the use of our products in cases of illnesses, pregnancy or if you are under the age of 18.

WARRANTY & REPAIRS: Clothing, waist trainers, compression wear and shapewear products do not have a warranty if the products are worn, or if there are signs of wear and tear, on the products or if the consumer does not follow the instructions on how to wear or use the products, or if the size was incorrect for the consumer, or if the products were not maintained and taken care of as instructed in the marketing or website content. If a product is "faulty" or "damaged", MASKATEER must be notified in writing within 24 hours, usually via email or direct messaging on social media platforms. "Faulty" or "damaged" products must not be worn or tampered with and MASKATEER will either repair, exchange at no extra cost, or offer a refund for the "faulty/damaged" products and cover any shipping charges in receiving the products back from the consumer. For products that require repair, it is at the discretion of the MASKATEER Returns Team on whether to accept the repairs once the products are worn. MASKATEER has the right to charge for the repair and for the shipping to and from the consumer. MASKATEER also reserves the right to decline repairs and ask the consumer to repair themselves using third parties if the products have been worn or if this process is more cost-effective for the consumer. To maintain the longevity and quality of the products, especially high-compression products, MASKATEER strongly recommends consumers to invest in two products of the same type and alternate wearing them, and to not use the products over the recommended usage times as mentioned on MASKATEER's website and other marketing content or collateral. Other considerations before using the repair service are as follows:

• You cannot use or apply any discount codes, reward points or credit vouchers on any repairs as these costs or prices are provided by third party repairers and seamsters.
• You can only use the repair service for products that were purchased on www.maskateer.com and within 30 days of the purchase date on your order.
• If the actual repair costs more than the price of this service, you must cover the difference in cost, and this will be confirmed before the repair is carried out.
• If the item has been considerably worn, we recommend you find a local repairer or seamster, instead of returning the item to us.
• You must pay for the shipping cost both ways, from you to us and from us back to you, if an item is to be repaired by MASKATEER.

COMPLIANCE: MASKATEER complies and confirms with The Data Protection Act, The Consumers Rights Act, The Consumer Contract Regulation 2013 Schedule 2 and 3 legislation and Trading Standards Laws in the United Kingdom and European Union and follows international laws and legislation concerning trade, consumer and company rights to fulfil its obligations to its customers and to fulfil its obligation as an international business and trading company.

CANCELLATIONS: There is a 6% admin fee and surcharge if orders are cancalled by the buyer.

RESALE OR REDISTRIBUTION: One must not resell or redistribute MASKATEER® products if one is not an official distributor or reseller or unless MASKATEER has approved it in writing.

If the item is not in stock, we will email you and inform you when it will be back in stock, and items will be shipped on the next available working day when stock is available.

It is the consumer’s/customer’s/recipient of the parcel’s responsibility to provide the correct shipping address and contact details and, furthermore, to be present when a delivery arrives.

If parcels are returned to the sender, the buyer must pay for the initial shipping costs and again shipping costs for products to be resent out, as well as the cost of the products being returned by the carrier including any additional Customs or admin charges or surcharges, and in addition, these deductions apply before any refunds or refund requests.
