Special Goods Category
The buyer acknowledges that all of KINK-OV-GEAR products are either customised/made to measure to some extent or fall into the hygiene items category due to their intended use next to mouth/nose mucus, groin or pits areas. Therefore they cannot be resold and are not returnable as they are exempt from the UK and EU returns policies and remote selling cool off periods. We endeavour to delay dispatching our products by 48h, to confirm the order particulars and allow the buyer to change their mind and have a discretionary 48h cool off period prior to dispatching the goods. A 10% cancellation fee would apply however in this case as explained below. Our gas masks have tamper-evident stickers on the flesh-like inserts, linings, and lenses to ensure the buyer get a sanitised, factory-new product. Buyers of our recycled/upcycled garments understand they are buying a used fetish garment which may contain odours, stains and discolouring which are part of the appeal.
​
Address Suitability
The buyer is responsible for providing a valid legal name, a physical address of a permanent dwelling and an email address for the purpose of shipping their order. The seller is not responsible for any parcels sent out to incorrectly typed addresses, or mismatches in addressee names. The billing address name and address needs to match the shipping name and address. If it does not, the buyer must provide contact details (email, phone number) of the recipient and explain their relations. The seller is not responsible for any loss of parcels to Post Boxes. KINKOVGEAR insists on shipping to permanent residential or commercial addresses and not: Post Boxes, mobile homes, camping sites or caravan parks with lot numbers. We may consider shipping to PO boxes of armed forces overseas at the buyer's own risk. We reserve the right to cancel orders to incomplete address entries, conflicting postcodes, shops, post offices, temporary accommodation, including mobile homes, caravan/trailer parks, campsites, services apartments/ airbnbs and hotels, or to request an alternative address that suits our delivery parameters and reduces the risk of delivery problems. We reserve the right to cancel the order and apply the 10% cancellation fee, should the shipping data discrepancy remain unresolved and unsatisfactory for a safe delivery of the order.

Provided that the parcel has not yet been dispatched, if the buyer requests to cancel the purchase order within the 48hrs cool-off period, a modest 10%Transaction & Restocking Fee will apply to cover the banking refund charges & work that goes in our warehouse to relisting the purchased item.

​​Damaged Parcel
In the event the parcel arrives severely damaged, the recipient will need to send us multiple pictures of the unopened box and then its contents. We will then file a claim with our postal service insurer which takes between 1-3 months to resolve and needs to be backed by serious evidence that the recipient must provide. The recipient accepts that up to 90 days need to pass before any compensation can be issued, should the claim be successful through the postal system insurer.

​
S10.2s
The buyer understands that as per the listings description the "S10.2" stands for the FMJ08 factory-new replica of the British vintage "S10" gas mask from the 1980s. It features a different front module to the British icon, though the buyer not need it if they opted for the flesh insert conversion. The buyer understands that the original British gas mask will not be supplied.
​
Custom Lenses
Great care is taken to manufacture S10.2 lenses in customer's chosen colour scheme. We will test each batch and make sure it fits the mask and that the lenses are free from major defects. Small scratches or imperfections near the edges are unavoidable and will not be rectified. The buyer understands this small-scale process and the potential for some imperfections. Customisation of S10.2 over-lenses is achieved by 3D printing the rims in one of the listed colours and applying desired tinting film to the pre-cut Perspex or polycarbonic lenses. The buyer acknowledges that 3D printed components are weaker & more brittle than moulded plastics, and may snap or chip upon frequent removal of the over-lenses from the lens sockets. The buyer will exercise great care removing the over0lenes and putting them on. They will apply only small pressure, slowly, around to apply the lenses & use the correct tools (flat-head screwdriver) to gently pop them off the rim. We accept no liability if that happens - we will point the customer to the preferred supplier for lens & rims replacements. In the event we cannot source the lenses ordered, we will refund the £50 surcharge paid and fulfil the rest of the order. The buyer shall not request for the rest of the order to be cancelled should their lens selection not be available.
