We reserve the right to investigate suspicious refund or return requests to protect all customers. Invalid claims, altered products, or inaccurate info may result in denial, account suspension, or legal action.

We’re not responsible for return delays caused by things outside our control (natural disasters, government limits, epidemics, transport problems, strikes, technical issues, or extreme weather).
