    J.HILBURN CREDITS’s/Gift Cards

    • J.HILBURN CREDITS’s can only be transferred to other accounts with written approval from both clients and any other stylist involved with a J.Hilburn transfer form: https://form.jotform.com/81987168807171 .
    • We are unable to reinstate Promotional J.HILBURN CREDITS’s (i.e. referrals) due to these being complementary.
    • Any unauthorized use of J.HILBURN CREDITS’s/Gift Cards is subjected to disciplinary actions up to and including termination of an Independent Personal Stylist Agreement.

     

    Re-joining

    • If a Stylist is cancelled, they can re-enroll within 3 months under the same mentor. If it’s under a different mentor they must wait the 6 month to re-enroll. Please let Stylist Care know about all cases concerning a previous Stylist re -joining, so we can ensure a successful registration.

    Returns

    • Any approved refunds that exceeds 120 days from purchased date, will be processed by way of a J.Hilburn Credits only. No other alternative refund can be issued.

    Commissions

    • All bounce back due to incorrect/missing information from the bank means the month’s commission is added to the next month’s commission run payout. We must have the correct account information going forward for this adjustment.

     

    • To participate in the management qualification programs and in the bonus and override programs, a Personal Stylist must accumulate the minimum Personal Volume required by the Career Plan. In order to be eligible for any bonuses or earnings in a given time period, a Personal Stylist must be Active in that time period. If a Personal Stylist is inactive, they forfeit bonus eligibility for the period of Inactivity. To be qualified as Active, a Personal Stylist must maintain the qualifications set forth in the J.Hilburn Career Plan and not owe any applicable Renewal Fee.

    Stylist Agreement Highlights

     

    3.16 AUCTIONS, RAFFLES AND SIMILAR CONTESTS Any Personal Stylist who decides to offer a J.Hilburn credit, product or promise of a future credit or product (the “award”) through an auction, raffle or similar contest (the “contest”) is considered the “Participating Stylist”. The Participating Stylist must purchase in advance of the contest the appropriate gift card to adequately cover the cost of the future award. In the event, the financial cost cannot be properly defined, the “Participating Stylist” will purchase a gift card to cover the highest likely cost of the award. The cost of the award must include the cost of the product and any and all additional related charges to include but not limited to state and local taxes and any shipping fees. The “Participating Stylist” agrees to honor any and all financial commitment associated with the award regardless of who ultimately receives this award and whether or not that recipient selects the Participating Stylist, any other Stylist or chooses to interact with the company directly. If the Participating Stylist does not cover this financial commitment, J.Hilburn reserves the right to withhold from any and all future earnings an amount adequate to cover the award plus a $25 service fee. The Participating Stylist has the sole responsibility to determine if participating in the contest complies with any local, state or federal laws or has any local, state or federal tax consequences for the Participating Stylist.

    6.2 FRAUDULENT ENROLLMENT AND ORDERS BONUS BUYING PROHIBITED Bonus buying is strictly and absolutely prohibited. “Bonus buying” includes: (a) the enrollment of individuals or Business Entities as Personal Stylists or Clients without the knowledge of and/or execution of a Personal Stylist Application and Agreement by such individuals or Business Entities; (b) the fraudulent enrollment of an individual or entity as a Personal Stylist or the placing of fraudulent orders on behalf of a Client; (c) the enrollment or attempted enrollment of nonexistent individuals or entities as Personal Stylists or Clients; (d) the use of a credit card by or on behalf of a Personal Stylist or Client when the Personal Stylist or Client is not the account holder of such credit card; (e) purchasing J.Hilburn products or services on behalf of another Personal Stylist or Client, or under another Personal Stylist’s or Client’s I.D. number, to qualify for commissions or bonuses; (f) any other mechanism by which strategic purchases are made to maximize commissions or bonuses when an Independent Personal Stylist has no bona fide use for the products purchased.

    Remakes

    We are happy to remake any of our Custom garments to ensure that your Clients get the best fit. Remakes are complementary, but we do ask that if a custom garment is remade, and the Client is still not 100% satisfied, please reach out to the Fit Advice Team with photos of your Client so that we can assist you with any necessary changes before submitting another remake.  We will be unable to approve a 2nd remake without first discussing the changes with you.

    • Please note, remakes cannot be submitted after ninety (90) days of when order was shipped. Please see the Return Policy for more details.

    Transferred Clients

    If an existing Client has been transferred to you, we want to make sure that you are able to give them the best experience possible with J.Hilburn. If he is not completely satisfied with a Custom garment purchased from his previous Stylist the item(s) can be returned for J.Hilburn credits or remade within six (6) months of the original ship date. Please limit one remake per Custom product category (i.e. If a Client previously purchased 2 Custom Sportcoats, and 2 Custom Shirts, only 1 shirt and 1 sportcoat may be returned or submitted for a remake.)

    On Hold Items

    The Fit Advice team reviews all Custom Shirt, Trouser and Sportcoat remakes as well as the majority of new orders in the same categories. If clarification concerning measurements or order comments is required, the Fit Advice Team will reach out via email to your J.Hilburn email. We will also send a text message alerting you that we need your assistance. If a response is not received (by email or phone) you will receive another email and a phone call. If the team does not receive any correspondence from you within 5 business days of the initial email concerning the order, the specific garment will be removed from the order and J.Hilburn credits issued to the Client’s account.

    • This policy is to ensure that any questions or concerns are answered in a timely manner and production is not being delayed.
