fabric. If you choose to use mesh in a design, you will be asked to sign a waiver. The waiver states that Elite Sportswear will not be responsible for replacing or repairing your garment(s). 5. Color transference or color bleed occurs when a white or light color fabric is combined with a bright or dark color fabric. This is a common industry problem and can become more obvious under certain conditions, especially when a light color garment is worn under a dark color warm up or short and/or when damp garments are left in gym bags. It is impossible for Elite Sportswear to guarantee that our fabrics will not bleed, even by following proper washing instructions, due to the individual nature of each athlete’s wear/washing procedure. The following is a list of fabrics that may be at greater risk for color bleed, when combined with white or light color fabrics: Berry Mystique, Black Mystique, Navy Mystique, Red Mystique, and Merlot Mystique. You are free to order any fabric and color combination, but please do so with great discretion. If you choose to combine light and dark colors, Elite Sportswear will not be responsible for replacing your garment(s) if color bleed occurs. 6. Fabric softeners negatively affect the adhesives used in our garments, causing the foil on our fabrics to discolor and the embellishments to fall off. IMPORTANT WASHING INSTRUCTIONS FOR ALL FABRICS: Garment(s) must be washed separately. Turn garment inside out. Use a mild liquid detergent, gently hand wash in a large volume of cold water. Rinse immediately. DO NOT allow garment to soak. Pat dry with a clean towel and use a thick plastic hanger to air dry. DO NOT use fabric softeners. Fabric softeners negatively affect the adhesives used in our garments, causing the foil on our fabrics to discolor and the embellishments to fall off. DO NOT dry clean. Dry cleaning uses harsh chemicals that can damage the fabric finishes and embellishments used in our garments. DO NOT iron. The heat from an iron can melt and/or discolor the delicate fabrics in our garments. Excessive heat can also weaken the adhesives used to attach the embellishments to the garment and cause them to fall off. 19
