Should that occur we always email you to discuss the situation.) - it is best to allocate for any shipping delays.

If your shoot is on say 2/27 your start date would be 2/26 (day dress arrives) and you would ship to have your rental return to deliver to us on your 8th day 3/5.

*Please do NOT select a start date for the day you make a purchase. Meaning if you see today (11/12) available - you can NOT select 11/12 as your start date.

CARE / DAMAGE

Use of B+L RENTAL ITEM(S)

In the OFF chance that there may be damages to any rental item(s) upon opening shipment- please report those immediately. We do our best to check all item(s) prior to shipping but there are on rare occurrences we may miss prior damages. Should damages be sustained through cutting open the shipment box- you bare responsibility for that. It is important to use caution if using scissors or box cutter. It is crucial that you do NOT run scissors or a box cutter directly over the middle/center of the box. Items tend to shift during shipping and therefore the dress or other items can be pushed up against the middle of the box.

Upon purchase you agree and are responsible for the care of B+L item(s) and you agree to treat each item(s) rented with great care. B+L products are meant to be used and worn in limited capacity. This includes: photo shoots, special events, etc. You as the purchaser bare responsibility for loss of item(s), destruction or damage to the item(s) due to “disappearance”, theft, fire, major stains or any other cause.

B+L considers normal wear and tear to encompass: MINOR stains (this includes smudges, small water marks) small snags in the fabric (this includes a pull of the threading)

Because we use fabrics that are delicate in nature and are very pricey- we ask that you please follow the guidelines below. We truly want you to enjoy our garments / item/s but please do so with love and care.

REFRAIN from use of mini sessions with our gowns.

REFRAIN from use of animals with our gowns. 

REFRAIN from any drinks/food/body makeup, body makeup/spray tanning when using our item(s). PLEASE refrain from spray tanning day before or DAY OF event. Spray tanning solutions stain the satin of the bodice and can NOT be removed/cleaned. Body makeup is also prohibited when renting our item/s. Body make up also is very hard to clean/remove from the bodice. PLEASE DO NOT WEAR ITEM/S WHILE HAVING HAIR AND MAKEUP DONE. BEST SUGGESTION IS TO WEAR A BUTTON UP, A HOODIE, OR A MAKEUP CAPE during these times to help you from messing up hair/makeup.

REFRAIN from USE of our garments in or near water or mud or sharp objects (trees, rocks, concrete seats, snow etc)! PLEASE pick the garments up when walking on the sidewalk, walking around grease. Should you want to shoot our item/s on or near water/beaches, snow etc it is best to prop the child on a box, or use towels underneath or a clear shower curtain in order to keep the garment from laying directly on the wet or muddy surface.

REFRAIN from excessive play (running, jumping) in order to prevent unpreventable rips and tears. Please watch small children - as some of our item/s have small delicate pieces that could be a choking hazard.

REFRAIN from IRONING OR STEAM machine use on our item(s). Should you need to remove wrinkles we recommend a professional steaming system OR hanging item(s) in a bathroom with hot shower running. By hanging the item(s) in a hot room-this will help allow the wrinkles to fall. We also suggest fluffing the item out, and letting hang 1 day prior to use.

REFRAIN from using our gowns with animals unless we give you permission.

REFRAIN from DRY CLEANING OR CLEANING.

Please pick up the skirting if renting a dress. This helps to keep the underneath of the skirting from picking up any dirt/grease/grass stains etc. It is important to lift the skirt of the dress from the sides-or pick up from the floor and lift up to carry.

Please be sure our gowns have all grass, sticks, etc removed from the dresses before return shipping. Tulle tends to accumulate these items when outside. So please use a lent roller to remove ALL grass from underneath the gowns. Please be sure you inspect underneath for sticks and other outside debris that can be caught underneath the garment.

Please be cautious of where and how you sit. We ask that you lift the garment off of the floor and try to tuck under your buttocks in most cases in order to keep the skirting safe from tearing on nails/hooks etc.

You must utilize a towel/sheet/shower curtain to cover any chairs, benches before sitting in the gown 

We want you to enjoy our rentals. But, it is very important that you understand our agreement. We want our gowns to be enjoyed by everyone and in order to do so these rules and terms are in place so that each rentee can have a pleasant experience.

You agree to return the item(s) to B+L on or before the return date for the item(s) which is identified on the invoice for your order. In some cases an extension is possible. For an extension please email contactbentleyandlace@gmail.com; provided that any extension provided is subject to other orders for that item(s) and is available only upon pre-payment of the additional Rental Fee applicable to that product for the period of time of the extension.

Late Fees.

If you return the item(s) late or fail to return item(s) at all, a late fee of seventy dollars ($70.00) will be charged to the payment card you used to pay the Rental Fee or to any other payment system included in your account information; this includes PAYPAL. For every day that you are late returning the item(s) you will be sent a bill and you agree to pay such late fees, up to an amount not to exceed 200% of the retail value or market value, as determined at B+L’s discretion, plus applicable sales tax (plus the Rental Fee). The late fee is payable for each order of item(s) that is not returned when due, NOT towards each item(s) that is the subject of the order that is late.

Most importantly, if you have not returned the item(s) within fourteen (14) days after the return date for the item(s), this late return will be considered a non-return. B+L will then invoice/charge the maximum late fee set forth, less any late fees that you have already paid, plus applicable sales tax.

Payment of 200% Retail Value or Market Value.

Should you be charged an amount equal to 200% of the retail value or market value and you still possess the item(s), the item(s) are then considered yours to keep, though without any future refund, or return of any kind.

You as purchaser agree that B+L shall charge and you shall pay, for the price for additional cleaning fees, repairs or replacement of item(s), as determined to B+L discretion, up to 200% of the retail value or market value for the product.  This includes damages incurred during shipment of item(s) being returned to B+L.

Wholesale and resale

Important information to know:

This map below shows you how long it takes us to ship an order to you. So when placing your order it is important you understand how many approximate days your start date should be from your start date. In most cases we always say as a rule of thumb to set your start date to be 5 DAYS from your PURCHASE DATE. Example: you place your order on 5/1- your start date (day dress arrives) should be 5/6 

In addition - this map will also give you an indicator on how long your return shipping is back to us-Should you use FEDEX GROUND. You simply look at your location and see how long return shipping will take. It is typically best to return ship out on Monday. If using UPS please see the UPS map for return time back to us.

We are located in Texas.

Keep in mind however - should in the off chance we are still waiting for a previous rental to arrive there could be a short delay in you receiving your order. However, we would email you to inform you of any potential delays. Because of the COVID-19 - there are some minor delays in shipping/receiving.  At this time we are  NOT accepting rush orders or over night orders unless you are in a location that is only 1-2 business days for shipping.
