Refund Policy
Effective January 1st, 2026 · Last Updated February 16th, 2026
Refund Policy
This Refund Policy ("Policy") applies to all purchases made from Sound Marketing Solutions, LLC, a New York limited liability company ("Company," "we," "us," or "our"), through https://mysms.promo (the "Site"), including purchases made via invoice, payment link, manual entry, or third-party payment processors.
This Policy is incorporated into and governed by the Company's Terms of Service. In the event of any conflict, the Terms of Service control.
1. Custom & Made-to-Order Products (No Refunds)
The Company specializes in custom, made-to-order promotional products created specifically to Customer-approved specifications.
ALL CUSTOM PRODUCTS ARE FINAL SALE AND NON-REFUNDABLE.
No refunds, returns, credits, or exchanges will be issued once any of the following occurs:
- full or partial payment is received and work begins
- proofs, mockups, or specifications are created or approved
- materials are ordered, reserved, or allocated
- production is initiated
Because custom products cannot be resold or reused, all such sales are final.
2. Upfront Payment Does Not Create Refund Rights
Payment is required before proofs or production begin. Payment does not guarantee a refund, cancellation right, or approval outcome.
Submitting payment constitutes:
- acceptance of the Terms of Service
- acceptance of this Refund Policy
- authorization for work to commence
3. Proof Approval = Final Authorization
By approving a proof (including via email, electronic confirmation, or invoice payment), the Customer confirms that:
- all artwork, spelling, quantities, colors, placement, and specifications are correct
- the order is authorized for production
- the order becomes final, binding, and non-cancelable
Errors identified after approval do not qualify for refunds, credits, reprints, or chargebacks.
4. Cancellations (Limited & Discretionary)
Cancellation requests submitted before proof approval may be considered solely at the Company's discretion.
If a cancellation is approved, the Company may retain or charge fees reflecting:
- design, setup, or administrative work performed
- sourcing, supplier commitments, or material reservations
- non-refundable payment processing or financing fees
Once proofs are approved or production begins, cancellations are not permitted.
5. Shipping, Delivery & Delays
Shipping timelines are estimates only.
Refunds will not be issued for delays caused by:
- carriers or freight providers
- customs or border inspections
- weather events or natural disasters
- labor shortages or strikes
- supplier or manufacturing delays
- force majeure events
Risk of loss transfers to the Customer upon delivery of Products to the carrier.
6. Payment Processing & Financing Fees
If a refund is expressly approved by the Company in writing (which is rare and discretionary):
- payment processing fees are non-refundable
- financing fees charged by third-party providers (including Affirm) are non-refundable
- refunds will be issued only to the original payment method
The Company is not responsible for third-party financing terms, interest, repayment schedules, or disputes.
7. No Chargebacks or Payment Reversals
Refund eligibility is governed exclusively by this Refund Policy.
Initiating a chargeback, payment reversal, or dispute for a non-refundable custom order constitutes:
- a violation of this Policy
- a breach of the Terms of Service
The Company reserves the right to:
- submit evidence to payment processors
- recover fees and costs
- suspend or refuse future service
8. Defects & Manufacturing Issues
In the rare event of a verified manufacturing defect solely attributable to the Company (excluding Customer-approved specifications, artwork, or tolerances):
- the Company may, at its discretion, offer a replacement or partial remedy
- refunds are not guaranteed and are not the default remedy
Minor variations in color, texture, alignment, or finish are inherent to custom manufacturing and do not constitute defects.
9. Corporate Purchases & Purchase Orders
Corporate purchasing departments and entities are subject to the same Refund Policy.
Submission of a purchase order does not create refund rights or override this Policy unless expressly agreed in writing by the Company.
10. Written Communication Required
All refund or cancellation inquiries must be submitted in writing.
Verbal statements or informal assurances are not binding.
