Overview
This policy explains eligibility, procedures, timing, and costs for returns, exchanges, refunds, and cancellations. Modify the timeframes and contact info as needed.
1. Returns — Eligibility & Conditions
To be eligible for a return:
-
Items must be returned within [30/14/60] days of delivery (choose one).
-
Items must be unused, in original packaging, and in resaleable condition with tags attached.
-
Proof of purchase (order number/receipt) is required.
-
Items marked final sale, non-returnable, or personalized/custom are not eligible unless defective.
2. Defective, Incorrect, or Damaged Items
-
If you receive a defective, incorrect, or damaged item, contact us within [7/14] days of delivery at [support@example.com] with photos and your order number.
-
We will provide a replacement, exchange, or refund at our discretion and cover return shipping if the fault is ours.
3. How to Initiate a Return
-
Email [support@example.com] with: order number, reason for return, photos (if applicable).
-
We will reply with instructions, RMA (if applicable), and the return address.
-
Pack the item securely and include all original packaging and documentation.
-
Ship the package and retain the tracking number until the return is processed.
4. Returns Shipping Costs
-
Unless the return results from our error (wrong item, damaged product), return shipping costs are the responsibility of the customer.
-
We recommend using a trackable shipping service and purchasing shipping insurance — we are not responsible for lost return packages.
5. Refunds & Processing Time
-
Once we receive and inspect the return, we will notify you of approval or rejection within 3–7 business days.
-
Approved refunds will be processed to the original payment method within 5–14 business days (timing may vary by bank).
-
Shipping charges (original outbound) are refundable only in cases of our error or defective items.
6. Exchanges
-
Exchanges may be processed as a return and new order. If the replacement item’s price differs, any difference will be charged/refunded accordingly.
7. Cancellations & Order Modifications
-
Orders can be cancelled before shipment for a full refund. Once shipped, cancellations are treated as returns and subject to this policy.
-
Contact [support@example.com] as soon as possible to request cancellation.
8. Chargebacks & Fraud Prevention
-
If a chargeback is filed without contacting us first, we may request documentation and reserve the right to dispute unjustified chargebacks. Repeated abuse may result in account restrictions.
9. Warranty & Manufacturer Returns
-
Some products may carry manufacturer warranties. Warranty claims should be processed per the manufacturer’s instructions; we will assist where possible.
