Last Updated: October 19, 2026
Overview
Welcome to Duo Threads!
These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the Duo Threads wholesale website, www.duothreads.com, including all associated content, products, features, services, and purchasing opportunities (collectively, the "Services").
Throughout these Terms, "Duo Threads," "we," "us," and "our" refer to Duo Threads. "Retailer," "customer," "you," and "your" refer to the business or individual accessing or purchasing through our wholesale platform.
Our wholesale website is powered by Shopify, which provides the e-commerce platform through which we offer our products and services.
By accessing our wholesale website, creating an account, or placing an order, you acknowledge and agree to these Terms of Service and our applicable policies.
If you do not agree to these Terms, you should not access or use our wholesale Services.
These Terms do not limit any rights or remedies that cannot be waived under applicable law.
1. Wholesale Account Eligibility & Access
Duo Threads operates a wholesale platform intended for legitimate retail businesses and approved wholesale partners.
Wholesale purchasing privileges may require account registration, business verification, and approval by Duo Threads.
By applying for or maintaining a wholesale account, you represent and agree that:
-
You operate or are authorized to represent a legitimate retail business.

All information provided during registration and purchasing is accurate, complete, and current.
-
You will provide valid business credentials, resale certificates, or tax documentation when requested.
-
Your wholesale account will be used only by your authorized business representatives.
-
You will comply with all applicable wholesale policies, licensing requirements, and purchasing conditions.
Wholesale accounts are non-transferable and may not be shared with unauthorized businesses or individuals.
Retailers are responsible for maintaining the security of their login credentials and for activity conducted through their accounts.
Duo Threads reserves the right to approve, deny, suspend, or terminate wholesale account access in accordance with applicable law.
2. Products & Merchandise
Duo Threads offers wholesale merchandise, including apparel, accessories, needlepoint products, custom merchandise, and other products.
Merchandise may be offered as:
-
Ready-to-ship inventory.
-
Made-to-order merchandise.
-
Custom or personalized products.
-
Limited-edition or seasonal collections.
We make reasonable efforts to accurately represent our products, including descriptions, colors, sizing, materials, and photographs.
However, minor variations may occur due to production methods, material availability, and differences in digital displays.
Product descriptions, pricing, availability, and offerings may change without notice.
Duo Threads reserves the right to discontinue merchandise, adjust available quantities, or limit product availability when necessary.
3. Wholesale Orders & Acceptance
Placing an order constitutes an offer to purchase merchandise from Duo Threads.
All orders are subject to acceptance, inventory availability, production capacity, applicable minimum order requirements, and any necessary account verification.
Duo Threads reserves the right to accept, decline, modify, or cancel an order, subject to applicable law.
An order is considered confirmed once accepted by Duo Threads and any required payment information, artwork approvals, and order details have been received.
Submission of an order does not guarantee immediate production or shipment.
Retailers are responsible for reviewing all order details, including product selections, quantities, sizes, colors, personalization, shipping addresses, and requested delivery dates.
Errors or omissions in submitted information may result in production delays or additional charges.
4. Wholesale Pricing, Payments & Taxes
Wholesale pricing is available to approved retailers and may be subject to purchasing minimums, product-specific requirements, or additional conditions.
Prices, promotions, discounts, and product availability are subject to change without prior notice.
Unless expressly stated otherwise, listed prices do not include applicable taxes, shipping charges, handling fees, or additional services.
Retailers are responsible for providing accurate billing information and ensuring that all payments are completed according to their approved terms.
Payment terms, when offered, must be authorized by Duo Threads.
Retailers are responsible for maintaining any required resale certificates, sales tax exemptions, or other business documentation.
Failure to comply with payment requirements may result in delayed order processing, suspension of purchasing privileges, or account termination.
5. Authorized Resale Channels & Marketplace Restrictions
Duo Threads merchandise purchased through our wholesale program is intended for resale through authorized retail channels.
Authorized Sales Channels
Approved retailers may sell authentic Duo Threads merchandise through:
-
Their independently operated physical retail storefronts.
-
Their independently operated e-commerce websites.
Retailers may also promote Duo Threads merchandise through their business social media accounts, provided that purchases are directed through an authorized sales channel.
Retailers participating in approved Duo Threads programs, including Shopify Collective, may offer merchandise through their own authorized e-commerce websites in accordance with applicable program agreements.
Prohibited Third-Party Marketplaces

6. Minimum Advertised Price & Brand Representation
Retailers must comply with any applicable Minimum Advertised Price (MAP) Policy, brand guidelines, licensing restrictions, and other written retailer requirements provided by Duo Threads.
Where a MAP Policy applies, retailers may not advertise covered merchandise below the established minimum advertised price except as expressly permitted by that policy.
Retailers are responsible for maintaining accurate product descriptions and representing Duo Threads merchandise appropriately.
Retailers may not misrepresent product origins, materials, licensing, brand affiliations, or authenticity.
MAP requirements and enforcement procedures are governed by Duo Threads' separately issued MAP Policy, where applicable.
Nothing in these Terms is intended to establish minimum resale prices or restrict retailers from independently determining their actual selling prices.
7. Production & Processing Times
Wholesale production timelines vary based on seasonal demand, order complexity, product availability, and current production capacity.
Our standard estimated production turnaround times are:
| Season | Months | Estimated Production Turnaround |
|---|---|---|
| Normal Season | December–May | 8–15 business days |
| Peak Season | June–November | 16–25 business days |
Production turnaround begins once an order is confirmed, required artwork or proofs are approved, and necessary materials are available.
Business days exclude weekends and observed company holidays.
These timelines represent production time before shipment and do not include carrier transit time.
Orders requiring multiple production processes or custom materials may require additional time.
All turnaround estimates are subject to current production capacity and are not guaranteed unless expressly confirmed by Duo Threads.
8. Custom Orders & Artwork Approval
Custom and personalized merchandise may require additional processing, artwork preparation, material sourcing, and production time.
Retailers are responsible for reviewing and approving all artwork, proofs, spelling, logos, colors, sizing, and customization details before production begins.
Approval of a proof authorizes Duo Threads to proceed with production according to the approved specifications.
Changes requested after approval or after production has begun may not be possible and may result in additional charges or extended turnaround times.
Retailers submitting custom artwork, trademarks, logos, or other protected materials represent that they have the necessary rights and permissions for their intended use.
Duo Threads reserves the right to decline custom orders that cannot be produced in compliance with applicable licensing, trademark, intellectual property, or production requirements.
Custom and personalized merchandise is final sale except as otherwise provided in our Wholesale Return & Refund Policy or required by applicable law.
9. Rush Orders
Rush production may be available upon request, subject to current capacity, material availability, and order requirements.
Rush requests must be reviewed and approved by Duo Threads before an expedited timeline is confirmed.
Additional rush production fees may apply.
Expedited shipping does not automatically include expedited production.
Submitting a rush request does not guarantee approval or a specific shipment or delivery date.
For rush order inquiries, contact wholesale@duothreads.com.
10. Shipping & Delivery
Shipping methods, charges, and estimated delivery times are determined based on order details, package specifications, shipping destination, and available carrier services.
Production turnaround and shipping transit time are separate.
Duo Threads determines whether orders containing ready-to-ship and made-to-order merchandise are shipped together or separately on a case-by-case basis.
Partial shipments are not guaranteed.
Shipping and delivery dates are estimates unless expressly confirmed otherwise.
Duo Threads is not responsible for carrier delays or other circumstances outside our reasonable control, subject to applicable law.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, title and risk of loss pass to the retailer when merchandise is transferred to the shipping carrier, unless otherwise agreed in writing.
For additional information, please review our Wholesale Shipping & Production Policy.
11. Returns, Refunds & Merchandise Claims
Wholesale returns are governed by our Wholesale Return & Refund Policy.
Eligible merchandise may be requested for return within 30 days of delivery, subject to prior authorization and merchandise condition requirements.

Custom apparel, custom accessories, personalized merchandise, and needlepoint canvases are final sale and are not eligible for standard returns or exchanges.
Damaged, defective, or incorrect merchandise should be reported within 7 days of delivery.

All Duo Threads trademarks, logos, product designs, artwork, photographs, text, website content, and other proprietary materials are owned by Duo Threads or their respective rights holders.
