- Be responsible for all activity under your account;
- Promptly update any changes to your contact details, address, or payment information; and

Orders & Service Flow
Orders may be placed through our website, mobile application, or in-store.
For pickup and walk-in orders
- Items will be counted at the time of pickup;
- A physical or digital receipt may be issued;
- The initial item count is for receipt and tracking purposes only;
- The initial count does not constitute a full inspection of item condition, fabric, stains, defects, or cleaning suitability; and

Following inspection, we reserve the right to
- Reclassify items;
- Adjust pricing;
- Identify special handling requirements;
- Refuse items;
- Return items unprocessed; and/or
- Require additional processing time.
In the event of any dispute regarding item count or classification, the final count and assessment conducted at our facility shall be treated as final, unless there is clear evidence of error.
Garment Care Policy
We will use reasonable care and skill when handling and cleaning items.
Where care labels are available, we will generally follow the manufacturer's care instructions. If a care label is missing, unclear, damaged, unreadable, or inconsistent with the apparent nature of the item, we may use our professional judgment to determine an appropriate cleaning method.
We do not guarantee that every item can be cleaned safely or restored to its original condition.
Stain Removal Disclaimer
We will use reasonable efforts to remove stains; however, stain removal is not guaranteed.
Some stains may be permanent, may become more visible after cleaning, or may require treatment that increases the risk of fabric damage, fading, discoloration, or texture change.
We are not liable for failure to remove stains or for damage arising from stain treatment, except where caused by our proven negligence and subject to the liability limits in these Terms.
Pickup & Delivery
We currently provide pickup and delivery services through our in-house delivery operations. Our service coverage is currently available across the United Arab Emirates. We do not provide services outside the UAE.
Pickup and delivery times are scheduled based on availability and operational capacity. Customers must ensure that someone is available at the scheduled pickup and delivery location. Drivers may wait at the customer’s location for a reasonable period, but we are not required to wait indefinitely.
If the customer is unavailable at pickup

If the customer is unavailable at delivery

Only one additional re-attempt is allowed for pickup or delivery. If pickup or delivery repeatedly fails, the customer may be required to collect the order from us.
