Terms and Conditions

By visiting or shopping at this web site, you accept the following terms and conditions. Please read them carefully.

Custom Production Process

Belt construction starts immediately after placing your order! Changes to the belt construction (width, size, firmness, etc.) after the order is placed may result in added costs and delay in production time. Embroidery orders will receive a design proof for approval, but this is NOT meant for belt construction changes.

Shipping Policy

Production Time: Shipping time does not include production time. See the item description for production times, which can differ from product to product. Shipping time is in addition to production time. Orders with multiple items will ship when the last item has been completed. Kataaro may recommend separate orders if one item is needed more urgently than others.

International Declaration: All international shipments will be declared "Merchandise" on customs forms. Kataaro cannot declare international shipments as "Gift".

Customs Fees: International shipments are subject to the receiving country's customs fees (also known as "import duties") and delivery may be delayed when the shipment enters the country. The product values will be listed with the shipment on the customs declarations forms, as required by law. Customs fees are assessed by the receiving country's customs agency and final values are completely out of Kataaro's control. Kataaro is not responsible for the payment of any customs fees. Payment of customs fees is the sole responsibility of the recipient.

Shipping Cost: The final shipping cost is subject to change. If shipping method chosen for the order is not appropriate (eg. a belt display does not fit in a flat-rate envelope), then shipping cost may be subject to change. If shipping cost fails to calculate properly then shipping cost may be subject to change. Additional shipping costs will apply for split orders.

Return Policy

Questions or concerns regarding your recent order? Kataaro can help! Call us or send us an email with the details so we can better assist you in the best steps forward. Kataaro accepts returns and exchanges within 15 days of receipt. Returned items must be in their original condition and must not be neglected, damaged, modified, washed, or altered in any way.

Since Kataaro items are hand-crafted and made-to-order, we reserve the right to not accept certain returns based on the ability to resell the item. Some unique features that may affect the ability to resell are large or narrow width, stiff firmness, rank stripes, and features not listed on the website. Embroidered items are not typically eligible for return. Services, including but not limited to, Rush or Expedite production, digitizing for a logo, shipping, and language translations are not refundable. Clearance item sales are final.

Customers are responsible for the shipping costs of returned items and exchanges. A partial refund will be issued for returned items. For exchanges, a partial credit is applied to the final total of the new order. The refund/credit total is a percentage determined by the retail price of the original product.

If a product is found to have a manufacturing defect or error, we will happily replace or repair it! The choice of repair or replacement will be decided by Kataaro management. Kataaro does not assume the risk of proper fit for uniforms and belts. Proper fit is solely the responsibility of the purchaser. Any belt delivered that meets our size tolerances listed on our Belt Information page is not considered a manufacturing defect or error.

Please notify us immediately if your product was damaged in shipping. Kataaro must be notified within 7 days of receipt in order to make a shipping insurance claim. Please email photos of the damaged package and the damaged item to info@kataaro.com.

Orders may be cancelled and a full refund issued if production has not started. If an order or product is cancelled after production has started, a partial refund may be issued.

Kataaro reserves the right to cancel embroidery orders if no response is received to an embroidery design proof within 120 days after payment. After 120 days have passed, a refund cannot be issued. Any remaining funds from the cancelled order will be applied as loyalty credit to your account for use on your next order.
