4. Repackage & Ship: Securely repackage the item with all original components. Include the RMA number inside the package. Ship the package using the recommended carrier or method. You are responsible for return shipping costs unless the return is due to our error (see Section 5).

5. Refunds, Exchanges & Associated Costs

5.1 Refunds

• Timing: Refunds will be processed within 10 business days after we receive and approve the returned item.

• Method: Refunds will be issued to the original payment method used for the purchase. Processing times by banks or payment providers may vary.

• Amount: The refund will be for the product's purchase price. Original shipping fees are non-refundable unless the return is due to our error.

5.2 Exchanges

• Exchanges are subject to the availability of the desired item. If the requested item is out of stock, we will issue a refund instead.

• You may be responsible for any price difference and additional shipping costs for the new item.

5.3 Costs Responsibility

• Customer-Paid Returns: The customer bears the cost of return shipping for "change of mind" returns or non-defective items.

• Company-Paid / Prepaid Returns: We will provide a prepaid return shipping label if the return is due to our error (wrong/damaged/defective item sent). In some regions, we may offer a subsidized return program.

6. Special Considerations for Cross-Border Returns

• Customs & Duties: For prepaid returns we authorize, we will handle customs documentation. For customer-shipped returns, please mark the package as "RETURNED GOODS" and declare a low value to minimize potential import duties. We are not responsible for return shipments held or charged by customs.

• International Return Hubs: To simplify the process, we may provide a return address within your region or country. Please use the address provided in your RMA instructions.

• Restocking Fee: A 10-15% restocking fee may apply for non-defective returns of high-value or bulky items to cover handling and processing costs. This will be clearly communicated before you finalize the return.

• Immediate Notification: Please contact us within 48 hours of delivery if you receive a damaged, defective, or incorrect item.

• Evidence: Provide clear photos or a video of the product, its packaging, and the shipping label.

• Resolution: We will arrange a prepaid return label and expedite a replacement or full refund at no extra cost to you.

8. Warranty Claims

• Please refer to the specific Manufacturer's Warranty included with your product for issues arising after the standard 30-day return period.
