Refund policy
Refund Policy
At Impressive Prints, all products are custom-made to order. Please read this policy carefully before placing an order. This policy works alongside our Terms & Conditions and complies with New Zealand consumer law.
1. General Refund Policy
Due to the custom nature of our services, refunds are not offered for change of mind once an order has been approved or production has begun.
All orders must be paid in full before any work starts.

Where artwork proofs or mock-ups are supplied, customers must carefully review and approve all details before printing or pressing.
Once approval is given, no refunds will be provided for:
Incorrect sizing
Colour choices
Design placement
Spelling or artwork errors approved by the customer
Customer approval confirms acceptance of the final design.

DTF transfers are printed exactly as supplied by the customer.

Impressive Prints is not responsible for poor print quality caused by:
Low-resolution or incorrect DPI files

Errors in customer-supplied files
Files uploaded or arranged incorrectly using the gang sheet creator or website tools
These issues do not qualify for a refund or replacement.
