Warranty: The factory warrants its products to be of good quality and will replace at no charge any order not properly filled. No liability in excess of invoice is assumed. The factory will accept no responsibility after 30 days from receipt of merchandise. It is the responsibility of the distributor to ensure that all merchandise is inspected within this time frame. The stadium cups listed in this catalog are dishwasher safe; however, due to variables beyond the factory’s control, the imprint is not guaranteed to stay on.

Merchandise Returns: Returned merchandise will not be accepted unless factory has been notified in advance and agreed to accept the return. Merchandise refused by customer through no fault of the factory or unauthorized returned merchandise will be reshipped direct to distributor and re-forwarding charges billed. The items in this catalog are controlled by regulations imposed by the Food & Drug Administration (FDA). Once an item is shipped & leaves the control of our company, that item can no longer be resold by our company. Therefore, we are unable to accept returns on unimprinted goods.
