Clients can waive the right to approve a pre-production sample, and by waiving the right to approve the sample clients agree to accept the work as-is when delivered. Merch Monster reserves the right determine whether to provide a physical sample delivered to a single location or provide photograph(s) of the pre-production sample for review. Please be aware that delays in approving your sample may delay your production order, as production will not start until approval is received or an approval waiver is provided.

Merch Monster is not responsible for customer dissatisfaction with blank item or apparel sizing, fit, color including variations in dye lots, materials, etc and et al.

Color matching for printed colors is only guaranteed to be within a tolerance of Delta E <5 to Delta E <7 (click for measurement calculator) based on the CIE94 textiles measurement. Finished textiles have a number of variables including the substrate color and white ink underbases (or primer) which are not always 100% opaque and can cause colors to shift.
You must notify us in advance if you require higher tolerance for color matching on your project, and we will let you know if it's possible.
Please note our tolerance for color matching on reprints and re-orders is also Delta E <5 to Delta E <7 and printed colors for reorders are not guaranteed to be exactly the same as your previous order.
