Shipping, Returns & Merchandise Policy
Shipping, Returns & Merchandise Policy
Effective Date: 1st July, 2026
This Shipping, Returns & Merchandise Policy explains how merchandise orders placed through the Modern Way Impact online store are processed, produced, shipped, and supported.
Modern Way Impact offers mission-supporting merchandise to help advance its charitable programs. Many products available through our online store are custom manufactured and fulfilled by trusted third-party print-on-demand production partners after an order is placed.
By purchasing merchandise through our Website, you acknowledge and agree to this Policy.
1. Merchandise Orders
Products sold through the Modern Way Impact online store are produced specifically for each customer after an order has been successfully placed.
Because each item is custom produced, merchandise is not manufactured until payment has been successfully processed.
Product availability may change without prior notice.
2. Order Processing
Once an order is received:
- Payment authorization is completed.
- The order enters production.
- Manufacturing begins through our fulfillment partner.
- Quality inspection is completed before shipment.
- The order is packaged and prepared for delivery.
Most orders begin production shortly after purchase.
Orders cannot always be modified or cancelled once production has started.
3. Production Time
Production times vary depending on:
- Product type
- Manufacturing workload
- Seasonal demand
- Inventory availability
- Supplier operations
Most products are produced within approximately 2–7 business days.
Production estimates are not guaranteed.
4. Shipping
After production is complete, merchandise is shipped to the delivery address provided during checkout.
Estimated delivery time is generally 10–30 business days, depending on:
- Destination
- Shipping carrier
- Customs processing (where applicable)
- Weather conditions
- Carrier delays
- Public holidays
- Other circumstances beyond our control
Shipping estimates are provided for convenience only and should not be interpreted as guaranteed delivery dates.
5. Order Tracking
Where available, tracking information will be provided after your order has shipped.
Tracking updates are supplied by the shipping carrier and may occasionally experience delays.
6. Shipping Address Accuracy
Customers are responsible for providing a complete and accurate shipping address.
Modern Way Impact is not responsible for delays, additional shipping charges, returned packages, or delivery failures resulting from:
- Incorrect addresses
- Incomplete addresses
- Undeliverable locations
- Refused deliveries
- Customer input errors
If an order has not yet entered production, we will make reasonable efforts to update shipping information upon request.
7. International Shipping
Some merchandise may be available for international delivery.
International customers are responsible for any applicable:
- Customs duties
- Import taxes
- VAT
- Brokerage fees
- Government charges
These charges are not included in merchandise prices or shipping costs unless expressly stated.
8. Damaged or Defective Merchandise
If your order arrives:
- Damaged,
- Defective,
- Misprinted,
- Incorrectly manufactured, or
- Different from what was ordered,
please contact Modern Way Impact as soon as reasonably possible after delivery.
Where appropriate, we may request:
- Photographs of the product

Approved claims may result in a replacement or other appropriate resolution.
9. Incorrect Items
If you receive the wrong product due to an error during fulfillment, please notify us promptly.
After verification, we will work with our fulfillment partner to provide an appropriate resolution, which may include replacement of the affected item.
10. Lost Shipments
If tracking indicates that a shipment appears to be lost in transit, please contact us.
We will work with the shipping carrier and fulfillment partner to investigate the shipment and determine an appropriate resolution.
11. Returns
Because merchandise is custom manufactured specifically for each order, we generally do not accept returns.
Returns are not accepted for reasons including, but not limited to:
- Change of mind
- Ordering the wrong size
- Ordering the wrong color
- Personal preference
- Accidental purchase after production begins
- Minor variations in color or print placement that occur during normal manufacturing
Customers are encouraged to carefully review product descriptions, sizing information, and order details before completing their purchase.
12. Exchanges
Because products are manufactured specifically for each order, exchanges are generally unavailable.
If an exchange is approved due to a verified manufacturing or fulfillment error, Modern Way Impact will provide instructions for the resolution process.
13. Order Cancellations
Orders may only be cancelled before production begins.
Once manufacturing has started, cancellation requests generally cannot be accommodated.
Customers should carefully review all order information before submitting payment.
14. Product Appearance
Actual products may vary slightly from images displayed on the Website due to factors such as:
- Screen settings
- Device displays
- Lighting conditions
- Printing methods
- Fabric characteristics
- Manufacturing tolerances
Minor variations do not constitute manufacturing defects.
15. Availability
Certain products, colors, sizes, or materials may become temporarily unavailable or permanently discontinued without prior notice.
Modern Way Impact reserves the right to substitute comparable products or cancel unavailable merchandise when necessary.
If a paid order cannot be fulfilled, the customer will be notified and an appropriate resolution will be provided.
16. Limitation of Liability
Modern Way Impact is not responsible for shipping delays, carrier interruptions, customs processing delays, weather events, labor disruptions, or other circumstances beyond its reasonable control.
Delivery estimates are provided as general guidance only.
17. Merchandise Supports Our Mission
Every merchandise purchase helps support the charitable mission of Modern Way Impact.
Although merchandise purchases help fund our humanitarian programs, they are commercial retail transactions and should not be considered charitable donations unless expressly stated otherwise.
18. Changes to this Policy
Modern Way Impact may update this Shipping, Returns & Merchandise Policy at any time to reflect operational improvements, fulfillment partner changes, shipping practices, or legal requirements.
Updated versions become effective upon publication unless otherwise stated.
