By placing a rental order, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agreed to all of the terms contained in this Rental Agreement.
Payment
Payment for online rental and purchase orders is due in full at the time the order is placed. For in-store rental orders, a minimum deposit of fifty percent (50%) may be collected at the time of ordering, with the remaining balance due before the order is shipped or picked up. The Tuxedo Club reserves the right to require full payment at the time of ordering for any order.
The total amount charged may include, as applicable: Rental fees, Purchase prices, Applicable sales tax, Damage waiver fees, Shipping and handling charges, Rush processing fees, Alteration fees, Any additional charges disclosed during checkout or at the time of purchase. By placing an order, you authorize The Tuxedo Club to charge your selected payment method for the total amount due, including any additional fees permitted under these Terms.

Additional charges may be processed without further notice if they result from your failure to comply with this Agreement, including the late return, loss, theft, or damage of Rental Items.
If the event organizer or any designated individual elects to pay for multiple rental orders, that individual accepts responsibility for all authorized charges associated with those orders, including any late fees, replacement costs, or other charges incurred under this Agreement.
Receipt of Order
You are responsible for inspecting and trying on all items immediately after receiving them, regardless of whether your order was shipped to you or picked up at one of our locations. If you discover a sizing issue, damage, missing item, incorrect item, or any other problem, you must notify us:
- Within forty-eight (48) hours of delivery for shipped orders; or
- No later than two (2) business days before your event for in-store pickup orders.
These deadlines are essential because they provide us with sufficient time to prepare and deliver replacement items before your event. Failure to notify us within the required timeframes may prevent us from providing replacements or resolving the issue before your event and may limit the remedies available under our Fit Guarantee.
Exchanges and Reports of Issues
If you experience a sizing issue, receive the wrong item, discover damage, or are missing any Rental Item, you are entitled to one (1) complimentary replacement shipment or exchange, provided that you notify us within the required reporting period described in the Receipt of Order section above.
All exchange requests/ reports of any issues must be submitted:
- Within forty-eight (48) hours after delivery for shipped orders; or
- No later than two (2) business days before your event for in-store pickup orders.
Late Exchange Requests. Exchange requests received after these deadlines will be handled on a best-effort basis only. While we will make every reasonable effort to accommodate late requests, we cannot guarantee product availability or delivery before your event. Any expedited shipping or processing charges required for a late exchange are the responsibility of the customer.
Traveling Before Your Event. Our complimentary exchange shipping is designed to ensure replacement items arrive in time for your scheduled event. If you request that a replacement be delivered earlier than our standard exchange timeframe because you will be traveling or otherwise unavailable before your event, you will be responsible for any additional expedited shipping charges required to meet your requested delivery date. Standard replacement shipping remains free when the replacement is shipped according to our normal delivery schedule.
Style Changes. Requests to change styles, colors, or accessories after your order has been shipped are subject to a $15 processing fee, plus any applicable shipping charges.
Fit Limitations. Our rental inventory includes a wide variety of sizes and fits, and we will always work to provide the closest available fit through our exchange process. If, in the rare case, none of our available rental sizes can provide an acceptable fit, or if the requested alterations exceed what can reasonably be performed on rental garments, we may cancel the rental and issue an appropriate refund after all Rental Items have been returned before the event. This provision reflects the limitations of rental garments and does not create an obligation to provide custom tailoring.
Sizing/Order Adjustments
You authorize The Tuxedo Club and its trained outfit specialists to review and adjust the sizes selected for your rental order whenever we believe doing so will improve the overall fit. Our sizing recommendations are based on customer-provided measurements, sizing information, prior fitting experience, and our proprietary fitting process. Because every individual's body shape and fit preferences are different, an exact fit cannot be guaranteed. If adjustments are made to your order, they are made solely for the purpose of improving fit and customer satisfaction. Should any Rental Item still not fit properly, our Fit Guarantee allows eligible customers to receive a replacement in accordance with the Rental Exchange Policy above.
Cancelling, Changing, or Postponing Your Rental Order
Cancellations. Rental orders may be cancelled up to twenty-one (21) days before the event date, for a refund minus a $35 cancellation fee. Rental orders may not be cancelled within twenty-one (21) calendar days of the event date.
Order Changes. Any changes or edits to your order, must be requested at least twenty-one (21) days before your event. Requests received after this deadline may not be possible and may be subject to additional processing or shipping charges.
Postponing Your Order. If your event is postponed before your rental has shipped or been picked up, we will make reasonable efforts to transfer your reservation to the new event date, subject to inventory availability. If your event is postponed after you have received your rental, you must purchase a rental extension to cover the additional time.
Except where required by law, The Tuxedo Club does not guarantee refunds or credits for cancelled events, venue changes, weather conditions, travel interruptions, personal scheduling conflicts, or other circumstances beyond our control.
Our Commitment to Customer Care. Although the policies above represent our standard terms, we recognize that unexpected situations may occur. Whenever reasonably possible, we may approve exceptions as a customer-service courtesy. If we approve a cancellation after garments have already shipped or become unavailable for other customers, any refund will be reduced by applicable costs already incurred, including but not limited to: the standard cancellation fee, shipping charges, return shipping costs, dry cleaning, processing fees, other non-recoverable expenses. Any exception granted by The Tuxedo Club is made solely at our discretion and does not obligate us to grant similar exceptions in future situations.
Rental Delivery, Shipping & Returns
Delivery / Shipping. Rental orders over $139 that are placed at least 3 weeks before the event date will qualify for free standard shipping to arrive 10-14 days before the event. Rental orders over $75 pay a flat rate of $14.95 and receive free return shipping. Rental orders under $75 will pay $14.95 for delivery + $14.95 for return shipping. Rental orders placed within 3 weeks prior to the event date are subject to a flat-rate $50 rush fee and will arrive as soon as possible. This fee ensures that your items will arrive early to try on and covers any express shipping costs that your order may need. Once the package has been handed over to the shipping carrier, the delivery process is beyond our control, and we cannot be held responsible for any delays caused by the shipping carrier. It is the customer's responsibility to monitor the shipment status with the tracking information provided. If a shipment appears to be delayed, please notify us immediately for accommodations to be made. We ship only to a valid residence, office, or nationally recognized hotel address within the continental United States. We do not ship to PO Boxes, Hawaii, Puerto Rico or Alaska.
Rental Returns. All Rental Items remain the property of The Tuxedo Club and must be returned within three (3) calendar days after your event date. Rental Items will be considered returned on time if they are either scanned into transit by the shipping carrier or dropped off at our store within three (3) calendar days after the event date listed on your order.
- For shipped orders, one prepaid return shipping label is included with your rental. Once that label has been used, any additional return shipments are the customer’s responsibility. If you lose your original return label, contact us immediately to request a replacement, or return the items at your own expense. If you choose to use your own shipping label or carrier, you must provide the tracking number to The Tuxedo Club immediately after shipment.
- For in-store pickup orders, Rental Items must be returned to the pickup location during regular business hours within the required return period.
You are responsible for ensuring that all Rental Items are returned on time. The Tuxedo Club is not responsible for any personal belongings returned with your rental. If any items are returned separately or after the return deadline, you are responsible for arranging and paying for the additional shipment. You may use any shipping service of your choice. Please email the tracking number to info@thetuxedoclub.com immediately after shipment.
Failure to return Rental Items within the required timeframe may result in late fees and, if applicable, replacement charges as described in this Agreement.
Lost or Stolen Packages
Proof of delivery. Every order ships with a tracked carrier (UPS or FedEx). An order is considered delivered when the carrier's tracking marks it delivered to the address on your order, and that delivery confirmation is proof that we met our shipping obligation. It is your responsibility to monitor the tracking, to arrange for the package to be received at a secure location, and to bring it inside promptly once it arrives.
48-hour window to report a problem. Any issue with a delivery, including a package that tracking shows as delivered but that you did not receive, must be reported to us at info@thetuxedoclub.com within forty-eight (48) hours of the carrier's delivery time. We cannot honor claims made after this window.
Delivered, with no issue reported in time. If tracking confirms the package was delivered and we are not notified of a problem within 48 hours of that delivery, we can not guarantee a replacement. Once a package is confirmed delivered, we are not responsible for items that are lost or stolen because they were not secured or reported in time, and we will not send new items free of charge in that situation.
Carrier errors and delivery exceptions. If the carrier's tracking shows a genuine delivery problem, such as a delivery exception, a package marked delivered to the wrong address, or a package lost in transit, we will correct the issue or send a replacement at no charge to you, provided the issue is reported promptly.
Delivered and then stolen. If a package is confirmed delivered and is then stolen, and you notify us within 48 hours of delivery, we may, at our discretion, send a replacement. To be considered, you must file a police report for the stolen package and email a copy of that report to info@thetuxedoclub.com along with your replacement request. Replacements in this situation are not guaranteed and depend on garment availability and the timing of your event.
Nothing in this section reduces your responsibility, stated elsewhere in this Agreement, to return every rental item on time. Items that are not returned remain subject to the applicable late fees and replacement costs.
Customer Alterations
You are permitted to make non-permanent alterations to the jacket or pant length at your convenience. However, reimbursement for alteration costs is only available if we provide prior authorization in advance of the alteration being done. We will not reimburse for any alterations that were not approved in advance.
If authorized, we will reimburse you up to $35.00 in total, provided that:
- You receive written confirmation from us stating we will cover the alteration cost,
- The service is completed before your event date,
- You provide a valid, dated receipt, and
- You email us a copy of the receipt before the event date.
Fees
In addition to the cost of your rental, the following fees may also apply as detailed in this Rental Agreement. In the event you incur any additional fees, your payment card or account will automatically be charged.
Late Fees & Replacement Costs
Late fees. Any rental items that are not in transit within 3 calendar days after the event date will be charged at the rate of $20.00 per day, per person/tuxedo, until the items are returned or the applicable replacement cost is reached.
Damage Waiver. A non-refundable $10 Damage Waiver is included with all rentals that protects you from liability from reasonable-use damage of your tuxedo. This covers minor wear and tear that our garments may endure during your event such as broken buttons, broken zippers, minor tears or stains. If a rental item is destroyed beyond repair, the below replacement costs will apply. Any items damaged beyond repair, or that are not returned to The Tuxedo Club within 21 days of your event date, will result in replacement/processing costs as listed below, which shall be billed on the payment card or associated payment method that was given at the time of order. You will not receive any refund or other payment after returning your items.
Replacement & processing costs per item:
| Jacket | $345.00 |
| Pants | $195.00 |
| Shirt | $100.00 |
| Vest | $100.00 |
| Tie | $35.00 |
| Cummerbund | $55.00 |
| Shoes | $150.00 |
| Pocket Square | $15.00 |
| Jewelry (Studs & Cufflinks) | $20.00 |

Unpaid Amounts, Collections & Legal Action
Ownership of rental items. All rental items remain the property of The Tuxedo Club at all times. You are renting, not purchasing, the items, and you hold them as a bailee. Failure to return rental items, or to pay the replacement cost for items you keep, may be treated as unlawful conversion of our property and reported to the appropriate authorities.
If any amount owed under this Agreement (including rental fees, late fees, damage, or replacement/processing costs) is not paid when due, and the payment method on file cannot be successfully charged, your account may be referred to a third-party collection agency and/or pursued through legal action. To the fullest extent permitted by law, you agree to pay all costs of collection, including collection-agency fees, reasonable attorneys' fees, and court costs. You authorize us, and any agency acting on our behalf, to contact you at the phone number(s), email, and mailing address you provided regarding amounts owed.
Chargebacks. You acknowledge that the late fees, damage, and replacement/processing costs described in this Agreement are valid charges that you have authorized in advance. Initiating a chargeback or payment dispute for such legitimately owed amounts is a breach of this Agreement. We reserve the right to contest any such dispute using your order records and this Agreement, and to pursue the amount owed through collections.
Groom Credit Promotion Terms
The Groom Credit promotion is available to qualifying wedding parties with a minimum of five (5) members. To qualify, the groom must create an event, add at least four (4) additional, paying members, and have those members complete their orders before the credit is applied. The Groom Credit amount is based on the rental or purchase amount selected by the majority of the wedding party, up to a maximum credit of up to $200. For example, if the majority of the party spends $200, the groom will receive a $200 credit. If the majority of the party spends $170, the groom will receive a $170 credit.
The credit may be applied toward the groom's rental or purchase order only and cannot exceed the total value of the groom's order. The credit is automatically applied once the qualifying requirements have been met. No promotional code is required. The credit cannot be combined with other promotional offers, discounts, or credits unless otherwise stated. The credit has no cash value, is non-transferable, and may only be used by the member designated as the groom within the event. National Tuxedo Rentals reserves the right to modify, suspend, or terminate this promotion at any time.
Purchases
Purchase Returns/Exchanges
If you purchased an item and it is unused and in original condition, you may be eligible for a refund if it is returned within 30 days of delivery and before your listed Event Date. To begin a return, contact us for a Return Authorization Number. Items returned without prior authorization may not be accepted. Returns must be postmarked within 30 days of delivery and before your Event Date. Once received and inspected by our return department, a refund will be issued for the purchase price of the item/s, minus shipping charges. Return shipping costs are the responsibility of the customer, unless the return is due to an error on our part (e.g., wrong item sent or manufacturing defect). To exchange a purchased item for a different size, we recommend ordering a new item once your return is initiated and/or processed.
Purchase Delivery/Shipping
Orders over $139 qualify for free standard shipping to ship in approximately 2-5 business days, with the estimated arrival time shown at checkout. Orders under $139 incur a flat shipping rate of $14.95 for standard shipping and ship within 2-5 business days. Optional expedited shipping options are calculated at checkout. If you have a combination of purchase items and rental items on one order, the shipping cost and delivery time will be based on the rental items.
Once the package has been handed over to the shipping carrier, the delivery process is beyond our control, and we cannot be held responsible for any delays caused by the shipping carrier. It is the customer's responsibility to monitor the shipment status with the tracking information provided. We ship only to a valid residence, office, or nationally recognized hotel address within the continental United States. We do not ship to PO Boxes, Hawaii, Puerto Rico or Alaska.
