Warranty
Warranty - we’ve got your back!
All Harlequin branded products are designed to be tough and manufactured to the highest industry standards and will last many years if used and cared for correctly. As stated on each product's description, Harlequin ‘backs you’ with our manufacturer’s warranty on all our products where we warrant against any faulty workmanship, defects and materials.
A warranty does not negate the responsibility of the owner to look after and care for their bag. Depending on how roughly school bags are used and treated day-to-day, will determine their longevity. School Bags are an important part of school equipment and uniform and should be regarded and respected as so.
If you look after, care for and respect your Harlequin Bag, it will look after you and will last many years.
What is not covered
Our warranty does not cover damages that result from accidental or intentional misuse or abuse of the product. It does not cover the normal wear and tear or damages such as abrasion, scratches, fading or overloading of the bag where zippers are forced shut. It does not cover products that have been worn and used incorrectly; backpacks that have had key rings/charms threaded through and hung from zipper holes. It does not cover sample products sold at sale prices and discounted products sold as imperfect or seconds; products that have been exposed to bleaching; and backpacks that have been machine washed.
Our school Lifetime Warranty label is defined by using a Kindy sized backpack from years 0-2, a primary sized backpack from years 1-6 and a senior sized backpack from years 7-12; and excludes bags handed down to siblings and second-hand bags.
NB: Machine washing or extended exposure to UV and direct sunlight will compromise the protective coatings used on outer fabrics and will cause fading to screen prints and/or dyed fabrics. - See care instructions below.
If any product is deemed to have a manufacturer ‘s fault, then it will be fixed or replaced at no extra cost to the customer.
Care
Together with school books, our bags have been known to carry all sorts of weird and wonderful things known to man, with spills inside that we still can’t identify!
To care for and keep your bag pristine as possible, please follow the care instructions printed on product labels and information below.
All printed fabric products must be stored inside in a cool and well-ventilated, dry environment out of sunlight.
Do not use key rings/charms threaded through and hung from zipper holes to pull zippers closed. This creates too much torque on the zip and will damage the zip, which in turn voids your warranty. Charms are to be hung from the D-Ring on the side of each backpack which has been specifically designed to carry key-rings.
At the end of each school Term. You should sponge clean your backpack to keep it smelling and looking it’s best, and free from remnants and spills.
Do not machine wash backpacks as this will compromise the protective coatings used on outer fabrics.
Suggested Backpack cleaning: Use a soapy sponge to spot clean and dab any stains on the outside. Do not rub over any screen printed logos or printed transfer stickers, as this will wear away prints. On the inside of your backpack, clean away spills with a soapy sponge and a drop of disinfectant. Ensure you clean and dry your bag thoroughly as any left-over spill residue will attract mould to grow.
NB: School Backpacks are an important part of school uniform and equipment and should be regarded and respected as so. Depending on how roughly school bags are used and treated day-to-day, will determine their longevity. If you look after and respect your Harlequin school bag, it will look after you and last many years.
Parent E-Store Schools
Any 'Sitewide' discounts advertised do not apply to Parent E-Store School prices. As these prices are negotiated with your school, they cannot be further discounted. This includes all free or discounted shipping. Orders placed via the parent E-Stores are bespoke and made to order and can take up to 14 days to be shipped.
Factory Seconds
Harlequin’s Factory Seconds can be slightly irregular products. This can be for a multitude of reasons including, but not limited to, fabric defects, construction imperfections, slight dye-lot discrepancies, or slight sizing issues. However, our staff looks through each and every piece to inspect for visible flaws. Those without major noticeable flaws are sold as a very clean, Factory Seconds.

Despatch of orders from Harlequin's warehouse will take 3-5 days for non-personalised and non-online school orders orders and currently only 3 - 5 days for personalised and 'online schools' orders, excluding Christmas holiday shutdown. Deliveries must be checked upon receipt as any discrepancies will not be accepted after 7 days. If you would like to place an order that requires a specific delivery time frame, please contact us to arrange.

If it is an item that we cannot re-order, we will give you a refund immediately; if it is an item we can re-order we will inform you of the new delivery time frame and give you the choice of waiting or receiving a refund.
Harlequin reserves the right to despatch alternative colours or styles for any promotional items or complimentary parts promised. If no stock is available in any alternative colour or style we are unable to fulfil the promotion description, therefore offers for free items and/or complimentary parts are only available while stocks last.

Personalisation
At Harlequin, we take great care to ensure your personalised items look their absolute best. Your design will be printed exactly as you submit it, including text case (e.g., all lowercase, ALL CAPS, or a mix) and design choice. We may sometimes make minor adjustments to text placement or design placement to ensure your product looks as fantastic as possible. Please note:
• Personalised products cannot be returned if you change your mind or if errors occur due to incorrect text, spelling, or colour choices entered during your order.
• Since names and nicknames can vary widely in spelling, it’s not possible for us to identify potential mistakes—so please double-check your spelling/input before placing your order.
We’re here to create something special for you, so please review your design carefully to make sure it’s just how you want it!
Variances
Size Variances: Sizes of items listed in descriptions are approximate. The actual size of products may vary due to the handmade or hand finished nature of Harlequin's production processes. Sizes may vary among different product batches of the same item across different colours. In some fabrication processes, fabrics may shrink or expand and it is therefore difficult to control the final size.
Colour Variances: Meticulous care is taken in adhering chosen illustrations onto products. Due to the nature of handmade manufacture, current and older stock batches and computer screen colour output variations, printing supplied may differ slightly from batch to batch in materials, components, features and print colour. Actual stock supplied may differ slightly from photo's illustrated on this website and in brochures due to new stock amendments with product design feature updates which all may be subject to change without prior notice.
