VI. Products or services

When creating AIKO, we really wanted sustainability to be included. One of AIKO’s top priorities is to make sure the fabrics we select are from secondhand clothes or from any other garment that has already been used. As our creations are always made out of other garments, the textile quantity is low which makes every creation a unique piece. The fabrics used might have some traces and marks of their former lives. But this is where the beauty of AIKO lies.

We have made every effort to display the colors and images of our products that appear in store as accurately as possible. We cannot guarantee that the display of any color on your computer screen will be completely accurate. Please allow slight variance in color based on the lighting used while taking the photo of the garment as well as the display of the device used to view the product online.

We reserve the right to limit sales of our products or services to any person, geographic region or jurisdiction. We can exercise this right on a case-by-case basis. We reserve the right to limit the quantities of any products or services we offer. All product descriptions or product prices are subject to change at any time without notice, at our sole discretion. We reserve the right to discontinue any product at any time. Any offer for any product or service made on this site is void where prohibited.

We do not guarantee that the quality of any product, service, information or other material purchased or obtained by you will meet your expectations, nor that any errors in the Service will be corrected.

VII. Accuracy of billing and account information

We reserve the right to refuse any order you place with us. We may, at our sole discretion, limit or cancel the quantities purchased per person, per household or per order. These restrictions may include orders placed by or under the same customer account, the same credit card and / or orders using the same billing and / or shipping address. In the event that we modify or cancel an order, we may attempt to notify you by contacting the email and / or billing address / phone number provided at the time of the order. We reserve the right to limit or prohibit orders which, in our sole judgment, appear to be placed through resellers, resellers or distributors.
