Make sure you feel comfortable.

SOCIAL MEDIA CONTENT: MASKATEER® may offer endorsement opportunities to social media influencers in order to reuse graphics, images, videos, posts, stories or any form of electronic content for use on social media platforms and websites, in order to promote or review its products, brand and certain topics relevant to the industry and market sectors it operates in. The consent and agreement from influencers come in the form of signed contracts, or specific payment of services, or a placement of an order, or by the offer of discount vouchers, or by the general consent of the consumer/influencer via email or chat messages on social media platforms. In addition, customers and influencers are requested to send in "before and after" pictures to demonstrate the products' effectiveness, topics of health, exercise and weight loss and MASKATEER® have the right to display such content on its social media platforms and websites, which it deems to be appropriate.

MISUSE, ILLNESSES AND ALLERGIES DISCLAIMER: MASKATEER® is not responsible or liable for any misuse of the products and damages resulting from it. If you suffer from any illnesses or skin conditions, which waist training could affect, please consult with MASKATEER® team beforehand or your doctor. We strictly prohibit the use of our products in cases of illnesses, pregnancy or if you are under the age of 18. If you have allergies, check the product’s material and/or specifications beforehand and check with your doctor. Although MASKATEER® Tender Aroma Spray is made of organic compounds, you should check the content on the bottle beforehand. If you suffer any allergies from any of the ingredients, please do not use the spray. In any case, where your skin gets irritated and you suspect it may be the spray causing it, please consult with your doctor immediately. Tender Aroma Spray is exclusively made to clean your shapewear and for no other purposes. Please keep away from children and food.

WARRANTY & REPAIRS: Clothing, waist trainers, compression wear and shapewear products do not have a warranty if the products are worn, or if there are signs of wear and tear, on the products or if the consumer does not follow the instructions on how to wear or use the products, or if the size was incorrect for the consumer, or if the products were not maintained and taken care of as instructed in the marketing or website content. If a product is "faulty" or "damaged", MASKATEER must be notified in writing within 24 hours, usually via email or direct messaging on social media platforms. "Faulty" or "damaged" products must not be worn or tampered with and MASKATEER will either repair, exchange at no extra cost, or offer a refund for the "faulty/damaged" products and cover any shipping charges in receiving the products back from the consumer. For products that require repair, it is at the discretion of the MASKATEER Returns Team on whether to accept the repairs once the products are worn. MASKATEER has the right to charge for the repair and for the shipping to and from the consumer. MASKATEER also reserves the right to decline repairs and ask the consumer to repair themselves using third parties if the products have been worn or if this process is more cost-effective for the consumer. To maintain the longevity and quality of the products, especially high-compression products, MASKATEER strongly recommends consumers to invest in two products of the same type and alternate wearing them, and to not use the products over the recommended usage times as mentioned on MASKATEER's website and other marketing content or collateral. Other considerations before using the repair service are as follows:

  • You cannot use or apply any discount codes, reward points or credit vouchers on any repairs as these costs or prices are provided by third party repairers and seamsters.
  • You can only use the repair service for products that were purchased on www.maskateer.com and within 30 days of the purchase date on your order.
  • If the actual repair costs more than the price of this service, you must cover the difference in cost, and this will be confirmed before the repair is carried out.
  • If the item has been considerably worn, we recommend you find a local repairer or seamster, instead of returning the item to us.
  • You must pay for the shipping cost both ways, from you to us and from us back to you, if an item is to be repaired by MASKATEER.

COMPLIANCE: MASKATEER complies and confirms with The Data Protection Act, The Consumers Rights Act, The Consumer Contract Regulation 2013 Schedule 2 and 3 legislation and Trading Standards Laws in the United Kingdom and European Union and follows international laws and legislation concerning trade, consumer and company rights to fulfil its obligations to its customers and to fulfil its obligation as an international business and trading company.

DATA: No unconsented information, credit card information and (non-secure) data from the customer is held by MASKATEER.

The recipient of the goods must be the same person as the PayPal account, credit or debit card holder and the billing and shipping addresses should match. Shipping begins after payment for goods have been completed successfully. This usually happens instantaneously online or via merchant services, however customers using the SOFORT payment method must wait 3 working days for money to clear before we ship out the goods.

CANCELLATIONS: There is a 6% admin fee and surcharge if orders are cancalled by the buyer.

RESALE OR REDISTRIBUTION: One must not resell or redistribute MASKATEER® products if one is not an official distributor or reseller or unless MASKATEER has approved it in writing.

RETURN SHIPPING LABELS: You cannot use or apply any discount codes, rewards points or credit vouchers on return shipping labels as these costs or prices are provided by third party shipping companies.

REPAIR CHARGES: You cannot use or apply any discount codes, rewards points or credit vouchers on repairs as these costs or prices are provided by third party repairers and seamsters.

SHIPPING TERMS

We ship worldwide to every country and Island in the world using multiple carriers. Some offers may include free shipping worldwide over a certain amount of spend by a consumer online.

Deliveries to customers are sent out on working days only, which means Monday to Friday and not on weekends, Bank holidays, Public (Statutory) or national holidays.

Orders placed before 10 A.M. on a working day are sent out to customers on the same working day, if stock is available.

Goods are sent out after payment has been completed successfully. This usually happens instantaneously online or through marketplaces such as Amazon, eBay, however customers using BACS, CHAPS, SEPA or any kind of bank transfer service must wait until the payment is cleared into our bank account before we can ship out the goods.

If the item is not in stock, we will email you and inform you when it will be back in stock, and items will be shipped on the next available working day when stock is available.

It is the consumer’s/customer’s/recipient of the parcel’s responsibility to provide the correct shipping address and contact details and, furthermore, to be present when a delivery arrives.

If parcels are returned to the sender, the buyer must pay for the initial shipping costs and again shipping costs for products to be resent out, as well as the cost of the products being returned by the carrier including any additional Customs or admin charges or surcharges, and in addition, these deductions apply before any refunds or refund requests.

If the parcel is forwarded to a local depot, the consumer/customer/consignee must arrange to collect the parcel at his/her expense.

If someone else receives or takes the parcel at the delivery/shipping address provided, it is not the responsibility of the carrier or sender/consignor. It is the obligation of the customer who placed the order to be present at the delivery/shipping address stated.

“Force Majeure” events, such as natural disasters, health pandemics and policy changes from carriers may delay deliveries and returns and are out of the control of the sender/consignor. Sale items may be subject to delivery delays also, in which case consumers/customers will be notified.

Deliveries are undertaken by third parties such as DHL, DPD, Royal Mail, Hermes, Speedy.bg, EKONT, NOVA POSHTA, etc., hence MASKATEER® is not responsible for any shipping delays, parcel losses or damages, however MASKATEER® may help consumers/customers in resolving issues and claims.

If parcels are returned to the sender/seller because the recipient/buyer no longer wants the goods or refuses to pay the Customs duty and tax, the recipient/buyer must pay for the initial shipping of the products or the resending of the products, as well as the cost of the products being returned by the carrier, including any additional Customs or admin charges or surcharges both ways. All the above deductions apply before, and net refunds calculated before any refunds are made.

The item must have no signs of wear, tear or any kind of marks or ripples in the rubber latex, or it may be considered as worn. Once an item is worn it qualifies for wear and tear, and clothing, compression-wear, shapewear, underwear or lingerie items are not exchangeable or refundable after wear and tear. MASKATEER® products fit in each of the categories above.

The consumer is advised not to purchase a MASKATEER® product if he/she has any allergies or special medical conditions that may arise from wearing MASKATEER® products and it is strongly recommended that the consumer consults and obtains the approval from their doctor or Physician before purchasing any of the MASKATEER® products. MASKATEER® products have been tested and are generally medically safe, however if you have special conditions or rashes always consult your doctor before purchase, as MASKATEER® do not offer refunds for allergies or other conditions conceived as the products touch the skin of its consumers and the product would no longer be resalable in such cases.
