Clear, transparent return rules for every order.
Genuinely personalised goods that match the contract and any approved proof have no voluntary change-of-mind return. For a confirmed manufacturing defect, transit damage or wrong size, finish or personalisation, report the issue promptly after discovering the issue; we normally provide a free same-photo, same-specification remake or replacement. This additional support channel does not shorten statutory periods or remedies.

A print made from your photo or other genuinely individualized instructions may fall within the statutory no-reason withdrawal exception; mere made-to-order production is not enough. We do not offer a voluntary change-of-mind return for a genuinely personalized item that matches the contract and any approved crop or correction proof. Approval of a proof does not affect your remedies if the final item differs from that proof or the contract. If we send a proposed crop or correction, we wait up to 5 business days for your reply. If you approve it, we produce that approved version. If you do not reply within that period, we produce using the original crop submitted with the order, not our proposed correction. Approval never removes remedies if the delivered item differs from the approved proof or the contract.
For a defect, transit damage, or wrong size, finish, or personalization, contact us before returning the item
Email support@bolotstudio.com promptly with the order number and reasonable evidence, such as photos
We will verify the issue and tell you whether a physical return is needed; do not send the item before then
If a return is needed, follow the destination and logistics instructions we provide for that case
Our normal response to a verified defect, transit damage, or wrong size, finish, or personalization is a free remake or replacement using the same submitted or approved photo and agreed specification. Mandatory rights to repair, replacement, price reduction, termination, or refund remain available when their statutory conditions are met.
For EU/EEA and UK distance sales where the right applies, non-personalized goods normally have a 14-day no-reason withdrawal or cancellation period and the consumer bears the direct return cost; Canadian and other destination-specific rights vary. Under Article 16(c) of Directive 2011/83/EU, that statutory no-reason right does not apply to goods made to the consumer’s specifications or clearly personalized. For UK consumers, the corresponding cancellation exception is regulation 28(1)(b) of the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013. A print created from the customer’s photo or other genuinely individualized instructions may fall within this exception; mere made-to-order production does not qualify by itself. We do not offer a voluntary change-of-mind return or refund, or a return based only on disliking the result, for a genuinely personalized item that matches the contract and any approved proof. If we send a crop or correction proof and the customer approves it, we manufacture against that proof; approval does not remove any remedy if the final item differs from the approved proof or the contract. For a manufacturing defect, transit damage, or wrong size, finish, or personalization, our normal verified-quality response is a free remake or replacement using the same submitted or approved photo and agreed specification. Mandatory statutory remedies, including repair, replacement, price reduction, termination, and refund when their legal conditions are met, remain unaffected. You may report a manufacturing defect, transit damage, or wrong size, finish, or personalization under Verified quality support promptly after discovering the issue. If we approve a physical return under this support process, Bolot Studio covers its return cost and provides case-specific instructions. If we send a proposed crop or correction, we wait up to 5 business days for your reply. If you approve it, we produce that approved version. If you do not reply within that period, we produce using the original crop submitted with the order, not our proposed correction. Approval never removes remedies if the delivered item differs from the approved proof or the contract. Verified quality support is additional support only; it does not shorten any applicable statutory period for reporting a problem, bringing a claim or obtaining a remedy.
Under Article 16(c) of Directive 2011/83/EU, the statutory no-reason right of withdrawal does not apply to goods made to the consumer’s specifications or clearly personalized. For UK consumers, the corresponding cancellation exception is regulation 28(1)(b) of the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013. A print created from an uploaded photo or other individual instructions may fall within this exception; mere made-to-order production does not qualify by itself. The exception does not affect statutory remedies for lack of conformity.
For statutory lack of conformity, the consumer may initially choose repair or replacement free of charge, including necessary postage, transport, labour and materials, subject to statutory impossibility and proportionality rules. A proportionate price reduction or contract termination and refund is available when the statutory conditions are met, including refusal or failure to restore conformity, recurrence, or a sufficiently serious lack of conformity.
Bolot Studio offers a voluntary 3-year product guarantee from delivery for confirmed manufacturing defects and the scoped premature performance losses described below. It applies to consumers and business customers in every country Bolot Studio actually serves and is additional to mandatory destination-specific rights. It applies to accepted orders before, on and after 2026-07-16, subject to the 3-year period measured from delivery.
This voluntary warranty does not exclude, restrict or suspend mandatory rights. Consumers retain all statutory remedies for lack of conformity; business customers retain any non-waivable rights applicable to their destination and contract.
For a product sold to a consumer in Quebec, select Canada → Quebec → Consumer below. That separate Quebec consumer warranty writing governs this voluntary warranty for that sale, and its exclusions are stated in distinct successive clauses. This generic summary and its combined exclusions do not replace or govern the Quebec consumer writing. Transferability applies only to that consumer writing, not to the Quebec business commitment.
