Discount / promo codes can be applied to your order at checkout. The respective value will be automatically deducted from your order.
Please note that discount / promo codes cannot be paid out but only be deducted from your next order.
Discount /promo codes are usually sent out by us via email for promotional-, reimbursement (eg. shipping cost) or refund purposes. They are tied to the specific customer they have been sent out to and are one-time-use by default.
Can I use multi-promo codes at checkout?
We are only able to accept one promotional code at a time. Sorry for the inconvenience!
How does a gift card work?
A digital gift card can be applied to any purchase via gift code at check-out.
If you are purchasing an e-gift card for someone else, you will need to either enter their email address at checkout or forward the e-gift card you purchase to their email address.

How do I wash SPARK perform sportswear - synthetic fabrics?
All-over synthetic sportswear with stretch can be machine-washed cold with similar colors, without bleach.
Don’t dry-clean or tumble-dry the apparel.
You can iron it with a low heat setting.
How do I wash SPARK perform sportswear - natural fiber (eg. cotton content)?
SPARK perform printed or embroidered sportswear containing natural fiber (eg. cotton) can be machine-washed cold, inside-out on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent and similar colors. Use non-chlorine bleach only when necessary.
You shouldn't use any fabric softeners or dry-clean the items.
