Warranty

Warranty - we’ve got your back!

All Harlequin branded products are designed to be tough and manufactured to the highest industry standards and will last many years if used and cared for correctly. As stated on each product's description, Harlequin ‘backs you’ with our manufacturer’s warranty on all our products where we warrant against any faulty workmanship, defects and materials.

A warranty does not negate the responsibility of the owner to look after and care for their bag. Depending on how roughly school bags are used and treated day-to-day, will determine their longevity. School Bags are an important part of school equipment and uniform and should be regarded and respected as so.

If you look after, care for and respect your Harlequin Bag, it will look after you and will last many years.

What is not covered

Our warranty does not cover damages that result from accidental or intentional misuse or abuse of the product. It does not cover the normal wear and tear or damages such as abrasion, scratches, fading or overloading of the bag where zippers are forced shut. It does not cover products that have been worn and used incorrectly; backpacks that have had key rings/charms threaded through and hung from zipper holes.  It does not cover sample products sold at sale prices and discounted products sold as imperfect or seconds; products that have been exposed to bleaching; and backpacks that have been machine washed.

Our school Lifetime Warranty label is defined by using a Kindy sized backpack from years 0-2, a primary sized backpack from years 1-6 and a senior sized backpack from years 7-12; and excludes bags handed down to siblings and second-hand bags.

NB: Machine washing or extended exposure to UV and direct sunlight will compromise the protective coatings used on outer fabrics and will cause fading to screen prints and/or dyed fabrics. - See care instructions below.

If any product is deemed to have a manufacturer ‘s fault, then it will be fixed or replaced at no extra cost to the customer. 

Care

Together with school books, our bags have been known to carry all sorts of weird and wonderful things known to man, with spills inside that we still can’t identify!

To care for and keep your bag pristine as possible, please follow the care instructions printed on product labels and information  below.

All printed fabric products must be stored inside in a cool and well-ventilated, dry environment out of sunlight.

Do not use key rings/charms threaded through and hung from zipper holes to pull zippers closed. This creates too much torque on the zip and will damage the zip, which in turn voids your warranty.  Charms are to be hung from the D-Ring on the side of each backpack which has been specifically designed to carry key-rings.

At the end of each school Term. You should sponge clean your backpack to keep it smelling and looking it’s best, and free from remnants and spills. 

Do not machine wash backpacks as this will compromise the protective coatings used on outer fabrics.

Suggested Backpack cleaning: Use a soapy sponge to spot clean and dab any stains on the outside. Do not rub over any screen printed logos or printed transfer stickers, as this will wear away prints.  On the inside of your backpack, clean away spills with a soapy sponge and a drop of disinfectant. Ensure you clean and dry your bag thoroughly as any left-over spill residue will attract mould to grow.

NB: School Backpacks are an important part of school uniform and equipment and should be regarded and respected as so. Depending on how roughly school bags are used and treated day-to-day, will determine their longevity. If you look after and respect your Harlequin school bag, it will look after you and last many years.

Parent E-Store Schools

Any 'Sitewide' discounts advertised do not apply to Parent E-Store School prices. As these prices are negotiated with your school, they cannot be further discounted. This includes all free or discounted shipping. Orders placed via the parent E-Stores are bespoke and made to order and can take up to 14 days to be shipped.

Factory Seconds

Harlequin’s Factory Seconds can be slightly irregular products. This can be for a multitude of reasons including, but not limited to, fabric defects, construction imperfections, slight dye-lot discrepancies, or slight sizing issues. However, our staff looks through each and every piece to inspect for visible flaws. Those without major noticeable flaws are sold as a very clean, Factory Seconds.

Delivery

Despatch of orders from Harlequin's warehouse will take 3-10 days for non-personalised and non-online school orders orders, 3 - 14 days for personalised and 'online schools' orders, excluding Christmas holiday shutdown. Deliveries must be checked upon receipt as any discrepancies will not be accepted after 7 days. If you would like to place an order that requires a specific delivery time frame, please contact us to arrange.

Out of Stock

We update our website product availability multiple times a day. However, in some very rare instances another customer may have selected to purchase the same item as you at the same time. If this happens, we will notify you within one business day and advise you that we will not be able to deliver the goods in the usual delivery period. If it is an item that we cannot re-order, we will give you a refund immediately; if it is an item we can re-order we will inform you of the new delivery time frame and give you the choice of waiting or receiving a refund.

Harlequin reserves the right to despatch alternative colours or styles for any promotional items or complimentary parts promised. If no stock is available in any alternative colour or style we are unable to fulfil the promotion description, therefore offers for free items and/or complimentary parts are only available while stocks last.

Free Shipping and Vouchers

From time to time we may promote free shipping or discounted items via email or our social media profiles. During the time frame specified in the promotion, free shipping and other voucher based product discounts will only be applied to orders if and when the customer enters the voucher code in the appropriate field during checkout. Free shipping applies to national orders only and may not be used for express post unless specified. Even if not outlined in the promotional text.

These prices are negotiated with your school and cannot be further discounted, this includes any discounted and free shipping, unless otherwise stated.

Personalisation

Harlequin takes care to ensure that all personalised items are as close to what the customer has uploaded as possible. Sometimes text and/or design placement is changed so that you get the best-looking products as humanly possible. Personalised products cannot be returned if you have changed your mind or where errors have occurred from a typing error or an error has been made in colour choice. As customers may use all kinds of spellings for names and nick names it is impossible for us to recognise customer mistakes - so please double check your spelling prior to ordering. We do NOT print any trademarked or copyrighted images obtained from other sources. You must be the copyright owner, or provide us with a document mentioning explicit permission to use the images that you send to us.

Variances

Size Variances: Sizes of items listed in descriptions are approximate. The actual size of products may vary due to the handmade or hand finished nature of Harlequin's production processes. Sizes may vary among different product batches of the same item across different colours. In some fabrication processes, fabrics may shrink or expand and it is therefore difficult to control the final size.

Colour Variances: Meticulous care is taken in adhering chosen illustrations onto products. Due to the nature of handmade manufacture, current and older stock batches and computer screen colour output variations, printing supplied may differ slightly from batch to batch in materials, components, features and print colour. Actual stock supplied may differ slightly from photo's illustrated on this website and in brochures due to new stock amendments with product design feature updates which all may be subject to change without prior notice.
