DAMAGED OR LOST ITEMS
It is our priority to supply the best care to your garment and we appreciate your trust.

For Wash and Folded items, any reimbursement for an item or order deemed lost by Bindrop shall be
limited to and shall not exceed ten (10) times the charge for cleaning the lost item (not inclusive of tax and

Damaged Items
Although we do our best to prevent any damages to your garment, unfortunately every garment,
regardless of brand or quality, will wear out over time, and there is nothing Bindrop can do to predict when
this will happen, or prevent it. For damage related to normal wear and tear, Bindrop does not provide
reimbursement or compensation.
Per industry standards, the following are considered to be normal wear and tear:
-
Shrinkage from repeated laundering
-
Color fading
-
Small holes or tears
-
Discoloration caused by hygiene or beauty products (deodorant, perfume, cologne)
-
Button damage
-
Thinning of fabric

For any items, regardless of service, deemed damaged outside of the above, Bindrop may reimburse you
by paying up to ten (10) times the charge for cleaning the item (not inclusive of tax and other fees) for which
the damage occurred regardless of brand, price or condition of the garment, or $300, whichever is lower.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Bindrop’s aggregate liability in connection with a damaged item shall
not exceed the foregoing amount. Bindrop’s offer for reimbursement is valid for ten (10) business days
once the offer is made. Any attempts at redemption beyond that will be evaluated on a case by case basis.
All decisions on damaged items are in Bindrop’s sole discretion and are final.
In order to receive reimbursement in cash, the damaged item must be given to Bindrop to be inspected
and subsequently donated. If you wish to keep your item, only reimbursement in Bindrop credit will be
offered.
