Section 01

The Brand & What We Make

Z E N' E I operates across three product arms, each with different production models and policies.

Arm 01
Label
Garments sourced and produced by suppliers, imported into Slovenia, and finished by hand with Z E N' E I design application — screen print, embroidery, or patch.
Arm 02
Collective
Concept-driven collections. Each piece is made to order by hand in Slovenia. Production begins after your order is confirmed and payment received.
Arm 03
.Studio
Our atelier arm. Three categories: Reimagined (one-of-one deconstructions), Exclusives (one-of-one or micro-runs), and Create Your Own (fully custom commissions).

Sample Sales are governed by separate terms in Section 8.

Section 02

Placing an Order

Orders are placed through zenei.eu. By completing checkout, you confirm you are at least 18 years of age (or have parental/guardian consent), confirm the delivery details provided are accurate, acknowledge the production and delivery timelines stated on the product page and in these terms, and enter into a binding purchase contract with Z E N' E I.

For Label and Collective pieces: the contract is formed when your payment is confirmed and you receive an order confirmation email. For Create Your Own: the contract is formed when the 50% deposit is paid and the design mock-up is confirmed in writing. See Section 6.

Section 03

Pricing & Payment

All prices are displayed in EUR and include applicable VAT where required. Shipping costs are included in the displayed price — there are no additional charges at checkout.

Payments are processed via Stripe. Z E N' E I does not store your payment card details. Stripe's own terms and privacy policy apply to payment processing. Prices shown at the time of purchase are the prices you pay.

Section 04

Production & Delivery Timelines

Important
Every order has two stages: processing time and delivery time. These are separate and both count toward your total wait. Your total expected wait = processing time + delivery time.

Processing time is the time required to prepare your order before it is shipped:

ArmProcessing time
LabelUp to 20 business days (sourced and imported per order)
CollectiveUp to 3 weeks (made to order by hand in Slovenia)
.Studio — Reimagined / Exclusives2–4 weeks
.Studio — Create Your Own4–6 weeks (see Section 6)

Delivery time after dispatch:

DestinationDelivery timeCarrier
Slovenia (domestic)1–3 business daysPošta Slovenije
European Union5–7 business daysPošta Slovenije / DPD / GLS

Timelines are estimates, not guarantees. Delays caused by customs, carrier disruptions, or circumstances outside our control do not constitute grounds for cancellation or refund unless statutory rights apply. If a significant delay arises on our end, we will contact you directly.

Section 05

Returns & Exchanges

5.1
Label

You have a 14-day right of withdrawal from the date of delivery, in accordance with EU Directive 2011/83/EU and the Slovenian Consumer Protection Act (ZVPot-1).

To exercise this right: items must be unworn, unwashed, and in original condition with all tags attached. Contact us at info@zenei.eu within 14 days of receiving your order. Ship the item back at your own cost within 14 days of notifying us. Upon receipt and inspection, we will issue a refund to your original payment method within 14 days. We reserve the right to refuse a return or reduce the refund if the item shows signs of use, damage, or removal of tags.

5.2
Collective
No returns for change of mind
All Collective pieces are made to order. Under Article 16(c) of EU Directive 2011/83/EU, the right of withdrawal does not apply to goods made to the consumer's specifications or clearly personalised. Because your piece is made specifically when you order it, no returns or exchanges are accepted for change of mind.

Defective or damaged items: notify us at info@zenei.eu within 48 hours of delivery with photographic evidence. We will offer a remedy (replacement, repair, or refund) in accordance with EU consumer law.

5.3
.Studio — Reimagined & Exclusives

You have a 14-day right of withdrawal from the date of delivery. Items must be unworn, unwashed, and in original condition. Contact us within 14 days, ship back at your own cost, refund issued within 14 days of receipt and inspection. Given the singular nature of these pieces, we strongly encourage buyers to review all photographs and measurements carefully before purchasing.

Defective items: notify within 48 hours of delivery with photos.

5.4
.Studio — Create Your Own

Custom-commissioned pieces are explicitly excluded from the right of withdrawal under Article 16(c) of EU Directive 2011/83/EU. Full terms are in Section 6.

5.5
Statutory Rights

Nothing in these terms affects your statutory rights under EU or Slovenian consumer law, including your right to a remedy for goods not in conformity with the contract. Our standard warranty period for manufacturing defects is 2 years from delivery.

Section 06

Create Your Own — Custom Commission Terms

6.1
The Process
Consultation — Contact us at create@zenei.eu or via DM. We discuss your vision, timeline, and price.
Quote & agreement — We provide a price and estimated timeline in writing. You confirm.
Mock-up — We create a visual of the proposed piece and send it to you for approval.
Written confirmation — You confirm the mock-up in writing. This authorises production to begin. No changes accepted after this point.
Deposit payment — You pay 50% of the agreed price via Stripe link. Production begins upon receipt.
Completion — We notify you when the piece is finished, with photographs.
Final payment — You pay the remaining 50% within 14 calendar days of our completion notification.
Dispatch — The piece is shipped upon receipt of final payment.
6.2
Deposits

The 50% deposit is non-refundable once production has begun. By paying the deposit you acknowledge that you have approved the design mock-up in writing, production will begin immediately, and the deposit covers the time, labour, and materials invested regardless of the final outcome.

6.3
Final Payment & Forfeiture
14-day payment window
After we notify you that your piece is complete, you have 14 calendar days to pay the remaining 50%. We send a reminder at day 7 and a final notice at day 14.

If final payment is not received within 14 days: your deposit is forfeited in full, the piece becomes the property of Z E N' E I, and the piece may be listed for public sale at any price we determine. No refund of the deposit will be issued. This applies regardless of reason for non-payment, unless Z E N' E I has materially failed to deliver what was agreed in the confirmed mock-up.
6.4
Disputes About the Finished Piece

If the completed piece materially deviates from the approved mock-up through our error, we will offer a remedy: correction, redo, or full refund including deposit. If you have simply changed your mind, the deposit forfeiture terms in Section 6.3 apply.

6.5
Timeline

Minimum turnaround is 4 weeks from deposit payment. Timelines are estimated and may extend due to material sourcing or production complexity. We will communicate any delays proactively.

Section 07

Intellectual Property

All designs, graphics, concepts, collection names, and brand materials produced by Z E N' E I remain our intellectual property. Purchasing a garment does not grant you any rights to reproduce, copy, or commercialise the design applied to it.

For Create Your Own commissions: the design created for you is custom and will not be reproduced for other customers. However, Z E N' E I retains the right to photograph and share the piece for portfolio and marketing purposes unless you explicitly request otherwise at the time of commissioning.

Section 08

Sample Sales

Items sold through the F&F sample sale are sold at a reduced price to reflect their status as samples, test pieces, or slightly imperfect items.

Sold as seen
Sample sale items are sold as described and as photographed. The reduced price reflects the sample or imperfect status. Sample sale items are not eligible for return or exchange for change of mind. Defective items (beyond the disclosed imperfection) must be reported within 48 hours of delivery with photographic evidence.
Section 09

Shipping & Risk

Risk in the goods passes to you upon dispatch. Once an item has been handed to the carrier and a tracking number issued, Z E N' E I is not liable for delays, loss, or damage caused by the carrier. In the event of a lost shipment, we will open an investigation with the carrier on your behalf. All prices include shipping — there are no additional charges.

Section 10

Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Z E N' E I's liability in connection with any order is limited to the value of that order. We are not liable for indirect, consequential, or incidental losses. Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud, or any matter that cannot be excluded by law.

Section 11

Governing Law & Disputes

These terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of Slovenia and the applicable laws of the European Union. If a dispute arises that we cannot resolve directly, you may contact the European Online Dispute Resolution platform: ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr

We will always attempt to resolve any issue directly and in good faith. Contact us first: info@zenei.eu

Section 12

Changes to These Terms

We reserve the right to update these terms at any time. The version in effect at the time of your order governs that order. The effective date at the top of this document reflects the current version.
