Limitation of Liability and Risk Acknowledgment

Risk Acknowledgment

Tailoring, as a physical activity involving precise measurements and sharp implements, comes with inherent risks.

When participating in any fitting or practice session, clients acknowledge and accept these risks, including but not limited to personal injury (such as minor pin pricks) or accidental damage to belongings.

Personal Responsibility

Clients must follow all safety instructions and guidelines provided by our staff and are responsible for their own actions and well-being.

Shoes & Undergarments

Accuracy of hems is dependent on the footwear provided during the fitting. If a client changes their shoe height after the hem has been pinned or cut, any necessary adjustments will be treated as a new service and charged accordingly. Quotes and fittings are based on the client’s physical measurements at the time of the initial fitting.

Weight Fluctuation

Significant weight gain or loss may require additional labor beyond the original estimate, which will result in additional fees.

Final Approval

Once the garment is picked up and the final balance is paid, the service is considered complete and accepted. We are not responsible for any damage or fit issues discovered after the garment has left our premises.

Abandoned Property & Final Payment

All balances must be paid in full upon the completion of the final fitting or at the time of pickup, whichever occurs first.

Unpaid Balances: Any garment with an outstanding balance that remains unpaid for more than 45 days past the scheduled completion date will be considered abandoned.

Failure to Pickup: Any garment (paid or unpaid) that is not picked up within 45 days of the final completion notification will be considered abandoned.

Ownership Transfer: Upon the 46th day, ownership of the abandoned property legally transfers to the boutique. We reserve the right to sell, donate, or dispose of the garment to recover the costs of labor, materials, and storage. The client forfeits any deposits or partial payments previously made.

Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, our boutique, including its owners and employees, shall not be liable for any injuries, damages, or losses resulting from participation in any service provided.

This applies to direct, indirect, incidental, or consequential damages.
