Please refer to “RETURN TO STOCK” below for an explanation of the sole occasion when Team Connection will make an exception to this policy.

PRODUCTS: Team Connection makes all reasonable efforts to accurately display the attributes of the products for sale, including all applicable colors. The actual color seen will depend on Customer’s computer system. Team Connection cannot guarantee that Customer’s computer will accurately display such colors. The inclusion of any product on Team Connection’s website or catalog at any particular time does not imply or warrant that those exact products will be available at that same time.

BACK ORDERS: An order for an item that is temporarily out of stock is called a “back order.” When an item is a back order, Team Connection will ship the item to you as soon as it becomes available. Unless otherwise agreed, all back orders will be shipped FCA as that term is defined within INCOTERMS 2000. Back orders will be created for all unshipped orders and will stay on the system until shipped or the Customer’s cancellation date is reached.

CLAIMS: Deductions for any type of return can only be taken once the product has been authorized for return by, is physically returned to and received by Team Connection. Claims deduction must be taken at time of payment and requires submission of appropriate supporting documentation and claim reason. Cancellations, Returns to Stock and Defectives require Team Connection authorization prior to any deductions.

ORDER PROCESSING: For any Customer with Purchase Order requirements, before orders will be accepted by Team Connection and shipped, the Purchase Order hard copies must be signed and received by Team Connection.

CANCELLATION: Any request for cancellation of an order for Team Connection goods must be made through either the Customer’s Team Connection Sales Representative or Team Connection’s Customer Service department. A request to cancel an order which has been entered into Team Connection’s ordering system must be made, in writing, at least thirty (30) days prior to original Customer Requested Date and is subject to Team Connection’s approval in Team Connection’s sole discretion. Special Order (items non-cataloged by Team Connection) or customized (screen printed or embroidered) items are not eligible for cancellation.

LOSS OR DAMAGE IN TRANSIT: Team Connection will not be responsible for Team Connection merchandise damaged in transit. Customer will be responsible for checking its shipment upon delivery for total carton count and condition. Customer must notify both Team Connection and the delivery carrier (care of delivery carrier’s local office) of any evidence of damage to Team Connection goods that seem to have occurred during transit within ten (10) days of original receipt of the merchandise. Customer is responsible for filing all appropriate claims for damage during transit with the carrier according to that carrier’s claims requirements. Team Connection’s default method of shipping packages is to not require a signature for delivery. If Customer prefers that a signature be required for delivery, Customer must notify Team Connection at the time that the order is placed. Team Connection is not responsible for any loss or damage incurred by packages left by delivery services at Customer’s shipping address.

SHORTAGES IN UNOPENED CARTONS: All shortages must be reported to the Team Connection Customer Service Department within ten (10) days of original receipt of the merchandise. Customer will be required to furnish Team Connection with an order number and an itemization of all shortages/overages by product code, size and quantity. Incomplete claims and claims filed more than ten (10) days after receipt will not be accepted.

POLICIES – ALL RETURNS: All returns must be pre-approved by an authorized Team Connection Sales or Customer Service Representative. Defective and return to stock items must be authorized and returned separately. Team Connection cannot accept returns of personalized, embroidered or screen printed merchandise. Items sold at outlet stores, as irregulars, seconds or B-grades may not be returned; such sales are final. ALL RETURN FREIGHT CHARGES MUST BE PAID BY THE CUSTOMER unless Team Connection authorized the Customer otherwise.

RETURN TO STOCK POLICIES: All returns are made subject to Team Connection’s sole discretion. Return to stock requests must be received within ten (10) days of Customer’s original receipt of the merchandise. Merchandise must be returned in the same saleable condition as it was received by Customer (Example: items that were sold as a set must be returned as a set, items must not have been worn outside, etc.). A twenty percent (20%) restocking charge will be levied upon returns. This restocking charge will be waived if the return is due to a Team Connection error. Returns due to a Team Connection error will be granted a return code upon review of the order by an authorized Team Connection Sales or Customer Service Representative. For returns that are the result of a Team Connection error, Customer has the option of either having the merchandise returned by Team Connection’s carrier of choice at Team Connection’s expense or to receive a credit for return freight as paid by Customer upon submission of a freight bill to Team Connection. Credit for merchandise will be issued at the invoiced price. If no invoice is provided, on the day Team Connection issues credit, Team Connection will use the current product master file. A thirty percent (30%) restocking charge will be levied in the event that Customer makes an unauthorized merchandise return to Team Connection. Instead of Customer incurring this restocking charge, Team Connection can re-ship such unauthorized return merchandise to Customer. Customer will be responsible for actual return freight charges for such re-shipped merchandise.

DEFECTIVE RETURN POLICIES: The decision of whether or not a particular product is defective will be determined in the manufacturer’s sole discretion. Team Connection will not issue credit for product that is deemed non-defective by the manufacturer. Credit for defective products will be issued at the invoiced price net of Customer’s discount. If no invoice is provided, on the day Team Connection issues credit Team Connection will use the last documented price for the product within Team Connection’s product master file less Customer’s discount, if any.
