Terms and Conditions
Last updated: July 18, 2026
These Terms and Conditions (“Terms”) apply to your use of sewn2dance.com and to inquiries, consultations, quotes, custom design services, fittings, alterations, embellishments, team projects, made-to-order garments, apparel, invoices, and WooCommerce orders offered by Sewn 2 Dance, LLC (“Sewn 2 Dance,” “we,” “us,” or “our”).
1. Inquiry Catalog; No Automatic Acceptance
The current shop is a custom-service inquiry catalog. Product pages describe service paths and examples; they are not offers for a finished ready-to-ship item at a fixed price. Submitting a form, creating an account, booking a consultation, or requesting a quote does not create a contract, reserve production time, or guarantee that Sewn 2 Dance can accept the project.
A project is accepted only when Sewn 2 Dance confirms the written scope, quote, design direction, timeline, payment schedule, and any project-specific terms, and the required deposit is received.
2. Adult Authorization for Performers and Teams
The person submitting an inquiry, approving a design, or making payment must be at least 18 years old and authorized to act for the performer, parent or guardian, studio, school, team, or organization. A parent, legal guardian, or authorized adult must submit and approve information concerning a minor.
3. Scope of Practice
Sewn 2 Dance provides apparel-related creative and technical services such as costume and performance-wear design, garment construction, alterations, embellishments, fit review, measurement guidance, team-apparel planning, and related consultations within our experience, equipment, schedule, and accepted project scope.
Our services are not medical, therapeutic, orthopedic, rehabilitation, injury-prevention, legal, safety-certification, or performance-coaching services. A costume or apparel item is not protective equipment unless explicitly identified and certified as such in writing. Fit and movement guidance cannot diagnose a health condition, guarantee comfort for every activity, or prevent injury. Customers should consult an appropriate licensed professional for medical, mobility, injury, accessibility, or safety concerns outside apparel construction and fit.
We may decline or refer work that is outside our capabilities, cannot be completed safely or ethically, requires unavailable equipment or materials, conflicts with another provider’s proprietary work, or cannot reasonably meet the requested timeline.
4. Customer Responsibilities
You agree to provide accurate and timely information, including measurements, quantity, event dates, routine or movement needs, coverage requirements, costume rules, colors, logos, inspiration, budget information, contact details, and any condition that may affect fit or construction. You are responsible for reviewing written summaries, quotes, mockups, sketches, fabric or color selections, and measurements before approval.
You must promptly report growth, body changes, injury-related changes, schedule changes, or other facts that may affect fit or delivery. Delayed measurements, approvals, fittings, responses, or payments may move the project to a later production window.
5. Quotes, Pricing, Taxes, and Payment
Custom pricing depends on scope, garment type, design complexity, fabric, embellishments, quantity, measurements, fittings, handwork, deadline, and requested changes. Unless the written quote states otherwise, a 50% deposit is required after approval and before design or production work begins or production time is reserved.
The remaining balance is due according to the approved quote or invoice, typically before final pickup, delivery, or shipment. Applicable taxes, shipping, special-order costs, rush fees, additional fittings, or approved change orders may be added as disclosed. We may pause work or withhold pickup, delivery, or shipment while an invoice is past due, subject to applicable law.
6. Deposits and Cancellations
Cancellation requests must be made in writing. After a deposit is paid, Sewn 2 Dance may retain the portion reasonably attributable to completed design or consultation work, reserved production time, non-returnable or specially ordered materials, processing costs, and other commitments already made for the project. Any remaining unearned and uncommitted balance will be refunded. If work and committed costs exceed the deposit, the customer remains responsible for the amount earned or incurred through the effective cancellation date as stated in the approved project terms.
7. Design Direction, Approvals, and Changes
Inspiration images are used to communicate direction and do not promise an exact copy. Handmade and custom work may include reasonable variations in color, texture, placement, pattern, embellishment, and construction. Screen colors and dye lots may differ from physical materials.
Approval authorizes Sewn 2 Dance to proceed. Revisions included in the project are limited to those stated in the written quote or scope. Customer-requested changes after approval, material ordering, cutting, embellishment, or construction may be declined or treated as a change order with additional fees and a revised timeline.
8. Measurements, Fittings, and Final Fit
Accurate measurements and timely fittings are essential. Fit is affected by the performer’s current measurements, body changes, posture, intended undergarments and footwear, movement, fabric behavior, design choices, and measurement method. Sewn 2 Dance does not guarantee identical fit across performers or that a garment will continue to fit after growth or body changes.
Adjustments caused by inaccurate, incomplete, outdated, or customer-supplied measurements may be billed separately. Customers must bring required shoes, undergarments, accessories, and movement information to fittings when requested. Missed or late fittings may reduce available correction time or affect the completion date.
9. Timelines and Rush Work
All timelines are estimates based on the approved scope and information available when the project is scheduled. A production timeline begins only after the required deposit, measurements, design approvals, materials, and customer information are received. Material availability, vendor delays, customer changes, missed fittings, late responses, payment delays, illness, severe weather, carrier disruption, and other circumstances may require a revised timeline.
Rush work is accepted only when capacity, project condition, materials, and fitting requirements allow. Rush fees compensate for priority handling and compressed scheduling but do not remove customer responsibilities or guarantee against circumstances outside reasonable control.
If a physical order cannot be shipped by a promised date, Sewn 2 Dance will provide a revised shipment date and any opportunity to consent to the delay, cancel, or receive a refund required for that order.
10. Pickup, Delivery, Shipping, and Inspection
Pickup, local delivery, or shipping details will be stated in the approved project terms. Customers are responsible for providing a correct address and being available for agreed pickup or fitting appointments. Inspect the item promptly. Shipping damage, workmanship concerns, or material differences from the approved scope must be reported according to the Return, Refund, and Cancellation Policy.
11. Returns, Corrections, and Refunds
Custom, personalized, altered, embellished, and made-to-order items are generally final sale, subject to our responsibility for confirmed workmanship errors, material differences from the approved written scope, and rights that cannot be limited by law. Deposits, cancellations, fit concerns, reporting deadlines, reviews, and remedies are explained in our Return, Refund, and Cancellation Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms.
12. Customer Materials and Intellectual Property
You represent that you have permission to provide and authorize use of any logos, trademarks, artwork, photographs, music references, or other materials submitted for the project. You grant Sewn 2 Dance a limited license to use those materials only as reasonably necessary to review, design, produce, document, and support the requested work.
Sewn 2 Dance retains ownership of its original sketches, patterns, construction methods, templates, photographs, website content, and other intellectual property unless a written agreement states otherwise. Customer project photos will not be used for public marketing when separate permission is required or has not been obtained.
13. Accounts, Reviews, and Acceptable Use
You are responsible for accurate account information and for protecting your login credentials. Do not misuse the site, attempt unauthorized access, submit malicious files, impersonate another person, infringe intellectual-property rights, or use forms, reviews, or comments for unlawful, abusive, or deceptive purposes. We may restrict access, remove content, or cancel an inquiry or order when reasonably necessary to protect customers, the business, or the site.
14. Privacy and Electronic Communications
Our Privacy Policy explains how information is handled. By submitting an inquiry or order, you consent to receive electronic communications reasonably necessary to respond, prepare a quote, obtain approvals, manage appointments, process payment, and complete or support the project. Marketing communications remain optional.
15. No Guarantee of Project Acceptance or Performance Outcome
We do not guarantee acceptance of every inquiry, availability of a particular material, selection by a team or performer, competition results, judging outcomes, audience response, or any other performance outcome. Portfolio images show examples of prior work and do not promise an identical result.
16. Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Sewn 2 Dance will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, or consequential losses arising from site use, customer-supplied information, missed events, third-party services, carrier delays, or use of an item outside its intended apparel purpose. Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability or consumer rights that cannot legally be excluded or limited.
17. Governing Law and Disputes
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Iowa, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Before filing a claim, the parties agree to make a good-faith effort to resolve the concern directly. If a dispute cannot be resolved, jurisdiction and venue will lie in the appropriate state or federal court serving Woodbury County, Iowa, unless applicable law requires otherwise.
18. Changes and Severability
We may update these Terms as our services or store practices change. The version posted when a customer approves a written quote or places an order will apply together with the project-specific terms, unless both parties agree otherwise. If one provision is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue to apply.
