Terms & conditions

1. Who we are

RaceLine973 is an apparel brand based in the Kingdom of Bahrain, producing limited-run printed tees, hoodies, stickers and accessories, and accepting custom and club orders.

Placing an order through this site, or approving a custom quote from us, means you accept these terms. If you are ordering for a company, team or club, you confirm you are authorised to accept them on its behalf.

2. Made to order

Almost everything we sell is printed for you after you order. We do not hold large finished stock. This is why the terms below on cancellation, fit and returns are stricter than at a shop selling from a warehouse — once your piece is printed, it cannot be returned to stock or sold to anyone else.

3. Orders, prices and payment

An order placed on the site is an offer to buy. The contract forms when we confirm your order and your payment has been verified — not at the moment you press the button. We may decline an order, for example if an item is no longer available, if a price was listed in error, or if we cannot verify payment.

Prices are in Bahraini Dinar (BHD). Other currencies are shown for convenience at an indicative rate; the amount you actually pay is the BHD amount.

Payment is by BenefitPay transfer to the number shown at checkout. Your order is held until we verify the transfer. If we cannot verify it within seven (7) days, we may cancel the order and release any reserved stock.

4. Cancelling an order

You may cancel a standard order for a full refund at any time before it enters production. Once printing has started we cannot cancel it, because the piece has already been made for you.

Custom and personalised orders cannot be cancelled once you have approved the proof (see section 6).

5. Sizing and fit

Every product page links to our size guide with garment measurements. Please check it before ordering. Measurements are taken flat and may vary by up to 2 cm between pieces — this is normal for printed garments and is not a fault.

Because pieces are printed to order, we cannot offer exchanges or refunds simply because a garment does not fit the way you hoped. If you are between sizes or unsure, message us before you order and we will help you choose — we would much rather spend two minutes on that than have you disappointed.

If you spot a sizing mistake immediately after ordering, contact us the same day. If production has not started, we will change it.

6. Custom and club orders

Custom work is quoted individually. Before production we send you a digital proof showing the artwork, placement, garment colour and sizes. Production begins only once you approve that proof in writing (a message on WhatsApp or email is enough).

Your approval is final. Once approved, the order cannot be cancelled, changed, returned or refunded, except where the delivered goods are faulty or materially different from the approved proof.

Please check spelling, names, numbers and dates carefully on the proof. We print exactly what is approved, and we are not responsible for errors that were present in the proof you approved.

For custom orders we may ask for payment in full, or a deposit, before production. Deposits on custom work are non-refundable once production begins.

7. Artwork you send us

If you send us a logo, photograph, name, badge or any other artwork, you confirm that you own it or have permission to use it, and that printing it does not infringe anyone else's rights — including trademarks belonging to car manufacturers, teams, sponsors or other brands.

You agree to cover us for any claim, loss or cost that arises from artwork you supplied. We may decline any request at our discretion, and we will refuse artwork that is unlawful, hateful, or that we believe infringes someone else's rights. If we decline before production, you get a full refund.

8. Colour, print and finish

Screens are not fabric. Colours on your phone or laptop are an approximation, and the printed result may differ slightly in shade. Slight variation in print placement (typically up to 1 cm), and the natural texture of the garment, are characteristics of hand-finished printing and are not defects.

Where a design is printed across a seam, pocket or zip, some distortion is unavoidable.

9. Limited runs

Drops are produced in limited quantities and retired when the run ends — we do not reprint retired designs. If an item sells out between your order and our confirmation, we will tell you and refund you in full.

10. Delivery, pickup and risk

We deliver across Bahrain and to the GCC, and offer free local pickup in Muharraq. Delivery timescales are estimates, not guarantees; courier and customs delays are outside our control.

Any customs duties or import taxes on orders outside Bahrain are your responsibility.

Risk in the goods passes to you on delivery, or on collection for pickup orders. Please check your parcel on arrival and tell us about any damage, shortage or error within forty-eight (48) hours, with photographs where relevant.

11. Faulty or incorrect items

Nothing in these terms affects your statutory rights. If an item arrives faulty, damaged in transit, or materially different from what you ordered or approved, tell us within 48 hours with photographs and we will replace it or refund it in full, including return postage where a return is needed.

Damage caused by wear, washing against our care guide, ironing directly on a print, or alteration is not a fault.

12. Care

Follow the care guide: wash inside out, cold, with like colours; do not iron directly onto the print; do not tumble dry hot; do not bleach. Prints last for years when treated properly, and fail quickly when they are not.

13. Our designs

All RaceLine973 artwork, drawings, logos, product photography and site content are owned by us and protected by copyright. Buying a garment gives you the garment — not the right to reproduce, resell commercially, or reprint the design.

Personal photographs of you wearing our pieces are always welcome, and if you tag us we may reshare them with credit. Tell us if you would rather we did not.

14. Reviews and customer photos

Reviews are published after moderation. By submitting a review or photograph you grant us permission to display it on the site and in our marketing. Please do not include anyone else's personal information. We may remove content that is abusive, false or unlawful.

15. Pit Pass loyalty

Pit Pass kilometres are a goodwill programme. They have no cash value, cannot be exchanged for money, and cannot be transferred between accounts. Kilometres from a cancelled or refunded order are removed. We may change tiers, rewards or the programme itself, and will give reasonable notice before a change that reduces kilometres you have already earned.

16. Your information

We collect only what we need to fulfil your order and support you: your name, contact details, delivery address, order history and any note you send with an order. We do not sell your data.

Marketing messages go only to people who signed up, and every one has a way to unsubscribe. You can ask us to show, correct or delete the information we hold about you.

17. Limitation of liability

We are responsible for loss you suffer that is a foreseeable result of our breaking these terms or failing to use reasonable care. We are not responsible for indirect or consequential loss, or for loss of profit, revenue or opportunity.

Except where the law does not allow it, our total liability for any order is limited to the amount you paid for that order. Nothing here limits liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, or for fraud.

18. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms. The version that applies to your order is the version published when you placed it. The effective date is shown at the top of this page.

19. Contact and governing law

Questions, problems or complaints: reach us through the contact page or on WhatsApp, and a person will answer. We would always rather fix something directly than have you unhappy.

These terms are governed by the laws of the Kingdom of Bahrain, and the courts of Bahrain have exclusive jurisdiction.
