Terms and Conditions – Ocean Patches
Effective: 01/01/2026
Introduction and Acceptance of Terms
These Terms and Conditions govern your access to and use of the Ocean Patches website, products, and services. By accessing, browsing, registering an account, or placing an order through our website, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree to these Terms, you must discontinue use of the website immediately.
Eligibility and Account Responsibility
Use of this website is limited to individuals who are at least eighteen (18) years old and legally capable of entering into binding contracts. By using this site, you confirm that you meet these eligibility requirements. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activities conducted under your account. Any unauthorized use, transmission of malicious code, interference with website functionality, data scraping, price manipulation, or misuse of the site is strictly prohibited and may result in account suspension or legal action.
Orders and Payment Terms
All orders placed through Ocean Patches are subject to acceptance and availability. Full payment must be received before production begins unless otherwise agreed in writing. Ocean Patches reserves the right to refuse, cancel, or limit any order at its sole discretion, including in cases of pricing inaccuracies, typographical errors, or suspected fraudulent activity. We are not obligated to honor incorrect pricing or product information caused by system or human error.
Custom Products and Manufacturing Variations
Most Ocean Patches products are custom-made and handcrafted. Due to the nature of the production process, minor variations in color, size, finish, or design may occur. A deviation of up to five percent (5%) from approved artwork or samples is considered acceptable and non-defective. Custom products cannot be guaranteed to be one hundred percent identical to digital proofs or samples, and such variations do not constitute grounds for cancellation, rejection, or refund.
Refunds and Returns
Refunds and returns depend on the type of product purchased. Non-custom, stock items may be returned within thirty (50) days of purchase provided they are unused, undamaged, and in original condition. Custom-made products are generally non-refundable. If you believe a product is defective, you must notify Ocean Patches within seven (7) days of receipt. Returned items are subject to inspection prior to any refund or replacement. If defects exceed acceptable manufacturing tolerances, Ocean Patches may, at its discretion, remake or replace the affected products. Variations within acceptable handmade tolerances are not considered defects.
Order Cancellation
Non-rush orders may be canceled prior to the start of production. Production is deemed to have begun once tooling, molds, or setup processes have started. If cancellation occurs after production has begun, you may be responsible for incurred setup, tooling, or production costs. Once full production has been completed, cancellations and refunds are no longer available. Credit card cancellations may be subject to a processing fee to cover transaction-related costs.
Shipping, Delivery, and Risk of Loss
All purchases are made pursuant to a shipment contract. Ownership and risk of loss transfer to you once the order is handed over to the shipping carrier. Ocean Patches is not responsible for delivery delays caused by customs inspections, shipping carriers, weather conditions, geopolitical events, regulatory changes, or customer-requested changes made after production has begun. Estimated delivery dates are provided for reference only and are not guaranteed.
Product Information and Pricing Accuracy
Product descriptions, images, pricing, and other content on the website are provided for general reference and may contain errors or inaccuracies. Ocean Patches does not guarantee that all content is complete, accurate, or current.

For non-custom products that materially differ from their description, your sole remedy is to return the product in unused condition in accordance with our return policy.
