A. Policy Overview & Scope
This document delineates the returns and refunds
policy for our online store and CC store.
It governs all merchandise and items
purchased by the buyer from the seller.
Our commitment is to customer satisfaction;
however, this policy establishes clear guidelines
and procedures to ensure fair and consistent
handling of all returns and reimbursement requests.
This policy applies to all transactions, regardless
of payment method, and is subject to change at our
discretion. We encourage all customers to review these
conditions prior to completing a purchase.
This policy outlines the procedures for returns
and refunds pertaining to all items sold through
our online store and physical CC store locations.
It applies to all purchases made by the buyer,
establishing the conditions under which merchandise
may be returned for a reimbursement or exchange.
The scope encompasses all products offered, subject to
the eligibility criteria detailed herein. We strive
for complete customer satisfaction and aim to provide
a transparent and efficient process for addressing
concerns regarding defective or damaged goods,
or incorrect order fulfillment. This policy does
not supersede any statutory rights afforded to the buyer.
II. Eligibility for Returns and Refunds
Determining eligibility for returns requires
adherence to specific criteria. Not all items are
eligible, and certain conditions must be met.
A. Eligible Items
Generally, most unused and unaltered merchandise
qualifies for returns within the specified timeframe,
provided all original packaging and accompanying materials
are intact. This includes regularly priced items, and
those purchased during promotional periods, unless
specifically stated otherwise in the promotion’s guidelines.
Items must be in original condition, free from
any signs of wear, damage, or modification. Certain
categories, such as personalized or custom-made items,
may be eligible for refunds only in cases of
defective workmanship or incorrect order fulfillment.
Proof of purchase, such as an order number or
receipt, is mandatory for all return requests. We reserve
the right to deny returns for items that do not meet
these conditions, or fall outside the scope of this policy.
B. Ineligible Items
Certain items are expressly deemed ineligible for
returns or refunds. This includes, but is not limited
to, downloadable software, gift cards, and intimate apparel
due to hygiene concerns. Final sale merchandise, clearly
marked as such at the point of purchase, is also excluded.
Items that have been used, worn, altered, or damaged
due to misuse are not eligible. We also do not accept
returns on items not purchased directly from our
online store or CC store, or those lacking proof of
purchase (order number, receipt).
Furthermore, any items returned without prior approval
through the established process, or outside the specified
timeframe, will be considered ineligible and may be
returned to the buyer at their expense. This policy
ensures fairness to all our customers.
III. Conditions for Returns and Refunds
Successful returns necessitate adherence to specific
conditions. These guidelines ensure equitable
handling of all merchandise and uphold policy
integrity.
A. Item Condition & Original Packaging
To be eligible for a refund or exchange, all items must be returned in original condition,
unworn, unused, and with all original tags and labels still attached. Merchandise exhibiting signs of wear, alteration,
damage, or misuse will be deemed ineligible for returns.
Furthermore, items must be returned in their original packaging, including all accessories, manuals, and any promotional
materials. The original packaging serves as integral protection during transit and is considered part of the item’s
condition assessment. Failure to return the item with its original packaging may result in a denial of the return or
the application of a restocking fee, as determined by customer service.
B. Timeframe for Returns
All return requests must be initiated within thirty (30) calendar days from the date of purchase, as indicated on the
order number confirmation. Items returned outside of this timeframe will not be accepted and will be returned to the
buyer at their expense. This timeframe allows for prompt resolution and efficient inventory management.
The thirty-day timeframe begins on the date of delivery, as confirmed by the shipping carrier. It is the buyer’s
responsibility to track their order and ensure timely return initiation. Exceptions to this timeframe may be considered
on a case-by-case basis for defective or damaged items, subject to approval by customer service.
V. Additional Considerations & Dispute Resolution
C. Specific Scenarios: Damaged, Defective, or Incorrect Order
In the event a buyer receives damaged, defective, or an incorrect order, they must contact customer service
within seven (7) calendar days of delivery. Detailed photographic evidence of the damaged item and packaging is required.
For defective items, we will offer a refund, exchange, or repair, at our discretion, contingent upon a technical
assessment. Incorrect orders will be rectified with prompt shipment of the correct merchandise, or a full refund if the
item is unavailable. Shipping costs for return of ineligible items will not be reimbursed.
