Picture day Refund Policies

Please note that it is the customer’s responsibility to understand these policies upon purchasing TMS products and services. To submit a refund or credit request please fill your order information here: Refund Request Form

A1.- 7-day 100% satisfaction guarantee program.

The Missing Sock offers a 7-day 100% satisfaction guarantee program. Within two business days after picture day, customers will receive a link to a private image gallery with previews of their edited images. Customers have a 5-day window to select their favorite images and complete their pre-paid orders.

If customers are not 100% satisfied with their images within this 7-day window, they may opt for a full refund. Once gallery proofing window is closed, processing and handling fees apply to your refund. After the 30-day period, all sales are final and no refunds will be issued. Please refer to section A2 for more details.

Galleries remain open for a five (5) day period to meet the free delivery deadline to the establishment. Failing to complete the order with favorite images during this timeframe, the system will randomly choose them. The Missing Sock will not be able to change or provide any help whatsoever regarding the selection of images after the system has closed.

Please note that our online galleries for picture days, school events, and other photo sessions held at the school premises will be available for six months from the date of creation. While TMS may retain digital images for quality control purposes and in compliance with the necessary storage protocols as mandated by state laws and regulations, we do not keep the images indefinitely. 

A2.- Refund and credit rules :

• Refund requests received up to 7 days after picture day : 100% money back
• Refund request received after proofing period and before 30 days after picture day :

• • Orders with prints :

    • 80% refund (processed once prints are received)

If you opt for credit, please note that the credit is valid for one year. Additionally, The Missing Sock reserves the right to modify both our product assortment and pricing at our own discretion, and thus cannot guarantee that current product prices will remain the same in the future.

B) Retakes 

The Missing Sock, under the right circumstances, can offer a retake day at the end of every season to those who didn’t have a successful picture day.

The photoshoot takes place in our studio in midtown. The non refundable entry fee is $30, additional to the ordered package.

You will be able to schedule the 10-minute slot to attend for your kid’s retake session – keep in mind that we are receiving many parents with their children every season. We reserve your spot only for that day; if there’s a no show, we cannot guarantee we will have another place to receive your child on a different time block, and we will not issue any refunds at this point. 

The Missing Sock reserves the right to cancel a retake day if required. In these cases, customers may receive a full refund or full credit for a future picture day at the discretion of The Missing Sock.

• Cancel up to 15 days before the shoot date : 100% refund or 100% credit for a future photoshoot
