Know Your Customer (KYC) Policy
Last Updated: August 14, 2026
Royalty Uniform Apparel is committed to conducting business in a safe, responsible, and lawful manner. As part of our efforts to prevent fraud, unauthorized transactions, identity theft, money laundering, and other unlawful activity, we may take reasonable steps to verify the identity and information of customers, organizations, teams, schools, businesses, and other parties placing orders with us.
This Know Your Customer (“KYC”) Policy explains the verification practices Royalty Uniform Apparel may use when processing orders and establishing business relationships.
1. Purpose
The purpose of our KYC procedures is to help Royalty Uniform Apparel:
- Verify that customers and organizations are legitimate
- Reduce fraudulent and unauthorized transactions
- Protect customers from payment fraud and identity theft
- Confirm authorization for certain team, school, business, or organizational orders
- Identify unusual or suspicious transactions
- Protect our payment and ordering systems from misuse
- Comply with applicable laws and lawful requests
Our verification procedures may vary depending on the type, size, circumstances, and risk associated with a transaction.
2. Information We May Collect
When you place an order or conduct business with Royalty Uniform Apparel, we may collect information such as:
- Name
- Business, school, team, or organization name
- Billing address
- Shipping address
- Email address
- Telephone number
- Order and transaction information
- Payment-related information
- Team or organization affiliation
- Other information reasonably necessary to verify an order or business relationship
Payment information may be collected and processed by third-party payment processors rather than directly by Royalty Uniform Apparel.
3. Identity and Order Verification
Most customers will not be required to complete additional identity verification.
However, Royalty Uniform Apparel reserves the right to request additional information when an order or transaction requires further verification.
Additional verification may be requested for circumstances including:
- Large or unusual orders
- High-value transactions
- Multiple orders placed within a short period
- Billing and shipping information that does not reasonably match
- Orders involving multiple payment methods
- Transactions flagged by our payment processor or fraud-prevention systems
- Unusual refund requests
- Orders placed on behalf of schools, teams, businesses, or other organizations
- Transactions that otherwise appear suspicious or inconsistent with normal purchasing activity
4. Organization Verification
Royalty Uniform Apparel frequently works with teams, schools, businesses, leagues, clubs, and other organizations.
When appropriate, we may verify that the individual placing an order or establishing a team store is authorized to act on behalf of the organization.
Verification may include confirming organizational contact information, communicating with an authorized representative, or requesting reasonable documentation demonstrating the customer's relationship with the organization.
5. Payment Verification
Customers must use payment methods that they are legally authorized to use.
Royalty Uniform Apparel and our payment providers may use fraud-prevention and payment-verification systems to evaluate transactions.
We may delay, decline, or cancel an order when payment information cannot reasonably be verified or when a transaction presents an unacceptable risk of fraud or unauthorized activity.
6. Additional Verification
In limited circumstances, Royalty Uniform Apparel may request additional documentation or information necessary to verify a transaction.
Any additional information requested will be limited to what we reasonably believe is necessary to evaluate the transaction, confirm authorization, or protect against fraud.
Failure to provide requested verification may result in an order being delayed, declined, or canceled.
7. Suspicious Activity
Royalty Uniform Apparel may review transactions that appear unusual, inconsistent, fraudulent, or otherwise suspicious.
Examples may include:
- Unusual purchasing patterns
- Attempts to use multiple payment methods for the same transaction
- Repeated declined transactions
- Significant discrepancies in customer information
- Requests to ship products to unrelated third parties
- Overpayments followed by refund requests
- Requests to issue refunds to a different payment method
- Suspected use of stolen or unauthorized payment information
The presence of one or more of these circumstances does not necessarily indicate illegal activity.
8. Privacy and Protection of Customer Information
Information collected for verification purposes will be handled in accordance with our Privacy Policy and applicable law.
Royalty Uniform Apparel takes reasonable measures to protect customer information and limits access to information based on legitimate business needs.
We may also rely on trusted third-party payment processors, e-commerce providers, fraud-prevention services, and other service providers to assist with transaction verification.
9. Refusal or Cancellation of Transactions
Royalty Uniform Apparel reserves the right to refuse, delay, or cancel a transaction when:
- Customer information cannot reasonably be verified
- Payment authorization cannot be confirmed
- Fraud or unauthorized activity is suspected
- Requested verification information is not provided
- The transaction violates our policies
- Completing the transaction could violate applicable law
Where appropriate, payments associated with canceled orders will be handled according to our applicable refund and payment policies.
10. Cooperation With Authorities
Royalty Uniform Apparel may cooperate with payment processors, financial institutions, law enforcement agencies, courts, government authorities, and other appropriate parties when required or permitted by law.
Customer or transaction information may be disclosed when required by a valid subpoena, court order, warrant, or other lawful request.
11. Relationship to Our Anti-Money Laundering Policy
This KYC Policy works together with Royalty Uniform Apparel's Anti-Money Laundering (“AML”) Policy and other fraud-prevention procedures.
Our goal is to maintain a secure and trustworthy ordering environment while minimizing unnecessary inconvenience for legitimate customers.
12. Policy Updates
Royalty Uniform Apparel may update this KYC Policy periodically to reflect changes in our business operations, payment systems, fraud-prevention practices, or applicable laws.
Updates become effective when the revised policy is posted on our website.
