The service covers full support through product development and manufacturing: creating the designs, preparing for launch and producing the run.

These terms apply to:

• apparel
• home textiles
• accessories
• private label products

Development and production launch is offered at a fixed fee that covers a set number of designs; each additional design is charged separately. Message me on WhatsApp for current pricing.

• The service fee is paid 100% before work begins.
• An additional design is paid for before its development starts.
• Work on the project starts only after payment in full.
• The service fee is non-refundable once work has started.

Fabrics, trims and sewing are paid for separately from the service fee. Payment schedule:

• 50% prepayment before production starts
• 50% before the finished goods are shipped

Once production has started, the order cannot be cancelled.

If the order is cancelled after the prepayment, the amount paid is non-refundable.

The production price is fixed after:

• the sample is approved
• the quantity is agreed
• the prepayment is made

Once the prepayment is made, the agreed price cannot be changed.

Bulk production starts only after the sample is approved.

Once the sample is approved (fit, size, fabric, colour, trims, details), the finished run is made in line with the approved sample.

If production is started without an approved sample, comments on fit, colour or details are not grounds for compensation or for revising the terms.

Minor technical variations are acceptable and are not grounds for compensation.

One base size is approved.

The other sizes are graded according to the agreed size chart.

Minor differences in fit between sizes are not grounds for revising the terms or for compensation.

In bulk production a technical defect rate of up to 3% of the total run is acceptable. This rate is considered a production norm.

If it is exceeded, the matter is resolved by agreeing on compensation or rework.

During production, technical fabric overuse of up to 5% of the calculated volume is acceptable.

This is due to cutting specifics and the technical parameters of the product, and is not grounds for revising the price.

Lead times are approximate and may vary by ±1 week depending on:

• factory workload
• material availability
• product complexity

Delivery time is not included in the production lead time.

Once the sample is approved and production has started, no changes to the design, construction, fabric or details are possible.

If changes are needed:

• production is paused
• the cost is recalculated
• new lead times are agreed
• additional costs are paid by the client

Delivery is charged separately. Delivery times depend on the logistics company.

Finished goods are stored free of charge for 5 working days after notice that they are ready. Storage beyond that may be charged extra.

All patterns and designs developed within the project belong to the Client after payment in full.

Melissa Yildiz does not use patterns or designs created for the Client for other clients without the Client's written consent.

Technical processes and production know-how remain the property of the Contractor.

Information about production, suppliers and internal processes is confidential and may not be shared with third parties.
