Refund Policy

**Policy Statement**

**I. Order Cancellation**
Orders may be cancelled prior to shipment. Once an order has been shipped, it cannot be cancelled and must be processed in accordance with our Return Policy.

**In-Stock Orders:**
In-stock orders may be cancelled free of charge prior to shipment.

**Pre-Order Items:**
Pre-orders are eligible for a full refund within 7 days of purchase. After 7 days, pre-orders may still be cancelled prior to shipment; however, a 5% processing fee will be deducted to cover payment gateway and administrative costs.

----------------------------------------

**II. Return Policy**

We offer a 30-day return policy to ensure a satisfactory shopping experience.

**1. Unopened Items**
Unused and unopened items may be returned within 30 days of receipt (excluding special/exempt items), provided that the original packaging remains intact.

**2. Opened Items**
Opened items are not eligible for return. This includes:
- Items with opened packaging
- Items showing obvious signs of having been opened
- Items no longer in their original factory-sealed condition

**3. LED and Lighting Products**
These items may be returned within 7 days of receipt; returns or exchanges requested more than 7 days after receipt will not be accepted (due to the delicate and fragile nature of these products).

**III. Damage and Quality Issues**

In cases of shipping damage or product defects, you may request a replacement, the shipment of replacement parts/accessories, or—depending on the circumstances—store credit.

Such requests must be submitted within 30 days of receiving the item.

We may request photographic evidence to verify the issue.

The following situations are *not* considered quality defects:
- Minor paint/finish imperfections

If the return is due to an error on our part, we will provide compensation for reasonable return shipping costs (typically in the form of store credit).
Customers are responsible for shipping the item back to us themselves.

For returns unrelated to product quality issues, the customer is responsible for all return shipping costs. ----------------------------------------

Damage resulting from improper packaging may affect the final refund amount.

The customer must pay for return shipping costs before the order can be reshipped.

For international orders, any applicable customs duties or processing fees are the responsibility of the customer.
If a package is seized or destroyed by customs authorities, no refund will be provided.
