Will I receive the garments exactly the same as how I see them on the screen?
Due to screen differences, lighting effects, and scaling, the actual color and size of the logos on the garments may slightly differ from those shown on the purchase order. You must also take into account that the manufacturing processes involve human work, so there may be minor variations in the measurements of the garments.

How does the warranty for my garments work?
- The customer must have paid 100% of the garment's price.

Can I exchange the garments once I have received them?
If your garments are NOT PERSONALIZED (embroidery, vinyl, or printing), it is possible to make size exchanges within a maximum period of 5 business days, subject to prior review and authorization by the responsible department. The garments must be in perfect condition, free from any stains (makeup, deodorant, etc.), and not used, washed, or modified; they must also have all their labels and packaging elements intact.
The customer must bear both shipping costs (sending the garments back and receiving the new garments) since they must be reviewed by the responsible department.
The exchange time will depend on the availability of the garments, and there is no guarantee that the desired garments will be available at the time of the request.
Exchanges will be authorized once the customer has paid the entire invoice.
Dotaciones Corporativas DOES NOT refund money.
Personalized garments (embroidered or printed with your brand or design) are NOT ELIGIBLE for exchange.
Garments made with a special design for you (not part of our product portfolio) that are not personalized with your brand are also NOT ELIGIBLE for exchange.
