Product order issues
After you place an order for a product, you will receive an e-mail from us acknowledging that we have received your order. These terms regarding product orders will take effect when we send you your order confirmation email.
Products are unique and produced specifically for you, the customer placing the order. The Schlote Psychotherapy Professional Corporation does not hold any inventory and does not perform any of the printing itself. We have selected print providers and reviewed product samples for quality prior to adding products to the store. However, print quality may vary as a result of each order being produced on demand.
If we are unable to supply you with a Product, for example, because that Product is not in stock or no longer available or because of an error in the price on our site or the respective print provider’s site, we will inform you of this by e-mail and we will either not process your order or we will issue a refund.
Please note that any Products made available through our website are intended for non-commercial use, and the purchase of any Products for resale purposes is strictly prohibited.
You warrant that all the information provided to us for the purpose of processing payments is correct and you are authorized to utilize the proffered payment method. You acknowledge that we will be entitled to verify the authenticity and sufficiency of the payment information you provide. We reserve the right to cancel your order at any stage, if we are unable to verify the information you provide or the payment method that you have selected. In the event of a cancellation by us, we will refund you the full amount that you have paid, if any.
You are responsible for the payment of all import customs, taxes, levies and or duties applied to the products, either at the point of sale and or upon delivery.
If you have an issue with your product order, contact us directly (info@equusoma.com) within 30 days of the product delivery and provide a detailed description of your issue, accompanied by relevant photographs or video evidence that supports your case. We will contact the Merchant Support team with this information for investigation. The investigation will determine if you are eligible to receive a free of charge reprint or refund. Some issues do not qualify for reprinting or refund, as outlined below. The results of the investigation shall be final.
If following investigation, it is determined that your product is faulty or there is an issue with the quality of the printing, the order or line item will be replaced or refunded at the discretion of the Schlote Psychotherapy Professional Corporation. We reserve the right to refuse a request for refund or reprint if the reason for the complaint is due to theinherent limitations of the product. Requests for refunds or reprints are dealt with on a case-by-case basis.
By submitting an order for a Product on our Website, you acknowledge that the order execution or order contents (products, shipping method, and delivery timeline) is final and cannot be modified.

The Merchant Support team will evaluate the request and at its discretion will let you know whether it is possible to accommodate your request. Changes in submitted orders are not guaranteed.

Upon receiving a cancellation request, the Merchant Support team will determine whether your cancellation is eligible for a full or partial refund depending on the stage of fulfillment of the order.
If your order seems to be taking an unusually long time to be produced or delivered, please contact us directly. Please note that it can take a few weeks to receive your order. Orders can be delayed due to delays from shipping carriers. We cannot guarantee precise delivery dates on shipping.

If the order is lost during shipment, an investigation will be conducted and a replacement may be provided when appropriate. We do not provide refunds for orders in transit, unless they are deemed lost by the Merchant Support team. If the office tracking status of an order states that it has been delivered, but you report it as not received, the Mercahnt Support team will launch an investigation. We reserve the right to refuse a free of charge reprint or a refund.
