Terms of Agreement and Policies

Candy Coated wants to thank you for your purchase.

You agree to the following when selecting "Customer Agreement" on the listing.

Safety Guidelines

Our products should always be fun but being prepared will help keep it fun. We do not want you to die. Seriously, Anything over your head or face is inherently risky. You could really die if you don’t take precautions we suggest here. So, Listen up! Failure to use good judgment, not having a Supervisor and not following these safety guidelines can result in serious injury or death.

By purchasing, gifting and/or using this product you are aware of the risk involved and voluntarily take on all risk, damages and results in not following safety guidelines which can result in discomfort, damage, injury or death.

I have watched the Safety Video and understand the safety information and inherent risk of using these products.

I understand and agree this product must never be worn while under the influence of drugs or alcohol.

I understand when wearing this product, I should ALWAYS do so with someone else around, especially if it inhibits breathing.

I understand that failure to use good judgement, not having a Supervisor, and not following these safety guidelines can result in serious injury or death.

I understand and agree that my supervisor should always have a sharp, pointy pair of scissors or box cutter to cut me out in case of an emergency.

When using our product, you MUST have someone watching you.
Hint: Bring a retractable box cutter (a ceramic cutter won't rust) in one hand to cut yourself out in case of an emergency while your supervisor has a pair of scissors for safety. Practice using the cutter. If the product you received from us is made of PVC, practice by wrapping an old PVC pool toy over your hand with cutter in hand.

If the product you received from us is made of latex, practice using an old latex garment or latex gloves. Practice extending the blade and cutting through the material. You need to know what it takes to cut through.

Nonverbal Emergency Signal
When having anything over your head or face, make sure to establish and practice a nonverbal emergency signal with your supervisor in case you need to escape. A wireless doorbell (available for about $20 on Amazon) is a good idea to indicate distress. Put the button into a zip-lock bag to protect it from sweat and have it in your other hand so you can press to indicate distress.
Always test your verbal and non-verbal signals with your partner before beginning play.

Policies

Warranty- If An Item Is Incorrect

If a customer receives an item that has been incorrectly made (e.g., missing components, incorrect sizing, etc.), they must contact Candy Coated within 45 days of the original shipment date. It is the customer’s responsibility to notify Candy Coated as promptly as possible. After the 45-day period has elapsed, the customer will be financially responsible for any necessary adjustments or remakes.

Return Policy

Due to the nature of our products, returns are not accepted for most products.

Refund Policy

Due to the nature of our products, all sales are final. No cancellations of orders or cash refunds are available. Items are created on a made-to-order basis, so production has already been paid and we cannot cancel with your order with production.
If you have further questions, please contact us directly through our Contact Us page.

Shipping Policy

Candy Coated does its best to send purchases in the most secure way possible. We now offer multiple shipping carrier options.

That said, once an item leaves the Candy Coated location it is no longer in our control. Items being sent internationally can take up to 3 months to arrive, depending on the location and Customs.

Should an item be lost in transit, Candy Coated is not responsible for a free replacement but will do what we can to find your lost package and get your original purchase to you.

Return Shipping/Storage Policy

Customer has up to one month to pay any remaining balance and return shipping from the date a Candy Coated member informs the customer the work is completed. After one month, a storage fee of $10/week will be added to the balance until the entire balance is paid. This storage fee may be altered should the customer contact Candy Coated regarding a payment plan.

Chargeback Policy

We kindly ask that you contact us before filing a chargeback, as initiating one without first reaching out goes against our store policy.

If a chargeback is filed without attempting resolution, the order may be canceled and future purchases may be restricted.

Service Policy

Any service (repair, reinforcement, chlorination or ATBC service) provided by Candy Coated is at the company's discretion.
For the safety of our team, any item that is sent for said service must be cleaned thoroughly- removing all lubes, lotions, bodily fluids, etc. Should (an) item(s) arrive dirty, Candy Coated reserves the right to charge an hourly cleaning fee or refuse service and return the item(s) at the customer's expense.

Right to Cancel Order

Candy Coated reserves the right to cancel an order at any time. Reasons for this may include, but are not limited to: the inability to complete an order as previously planned, hostile communication from the customer, refusal or inaction of signing the Customer Agreement.

Should an order be cancelled, the customer will receive a refund for the item purchased.

Right to Refuse Service

Candy Coated reserves the right to refuse service to anyone who is hostile, aggressive, abusive, underage, whom we feel is a danger to our employees or themselves, or shows signs of harassment or intimidation toward our employees or others.
