Last Updated: 1st Nov 20251. Introduction
Welcome to Merch Factory (merchfactory.in). By accessing or using our website, dashboard, and fulfillment services, you agree to comply with and be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree to these terms, please do not use our Services. These Terms govern your relationship with Merch Factory regarding your print-on-demand store and bulk ordering.
2. Use of Services
You must be at least 18 years old to use our Services. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activities that occur under your account.
Content Rights: You represent and warrant that you own or have the necessary licenses and permissions for all designs, logos, and content you upload to our platform. Merch Factory does not claim ownership of your content.
3. Printing Services
Merch Factory provides custom printing services. Due to the technical nature of printing on textiles and custom apparel:
Variations: Minor variations in color, print placement, and garment sizing (up to 5% tolerance) are inherent to the custom manufacturing process.
Equipment: We reserve the right to upgrade our printing technology and switch between DTG, DTF, and Screen Printing as required to maintain quality and efficiency.
4. Order Cancellations, Refunds and Returns
a) Cancellation Policy
Orders can be cancelled through your dashboard only before they move to "Processing" status. Once printing has commenced, cancellation is not possible as the product is custom-made for you.
b) "Reprints Only" Refund Policy
As our products are custom-manufactured on demand, we do not offer monetary refunds. We provide free reprints only in cases of clear manufacturing defects, wrong product delivery, or structural damage.
Claims must be submitted within 48 hours of delivery with clear unboxing video or high-resolution photo evidence.5. Wallet Recharges and Payments

Any funds added to your Merch Factory wallet are non-refundable and can only be used for placing orders on the platform. Wallet balance does not expire but cannot be withdrawn or transferred to bank accounts.
6. Shipping and Delivery
Shipping is handled by third-party courier companies. Merch Factory is not responsible for delays caused by courier operations, natural disasters, or service interruptions.
Liability: Goods are shipped at the buyer's risk. We assist in tracking and filing claims for lost shipments, but our liability ends once the parcel is handed to the courier partner.
RTO: Failed deliveries returning to us incur shipping charges for both forward and return transit.
7. Account and Brand Deletion
You may request the deletion of your brand and account at any time.
Irreversibility
Deletion of a brand is permanent. Upon deletion, any remaining wallet balance associated with that brand is forfeited and will not be refunded. Historical order data will be retained for tax compliance.
