All returned products must be in a saleable condition, unused and in their original packaging. Prior to returning your products to us, you are obliged to keep and take reasonable care of them. If an item is returned to us damaged or in an unsaleable condition, we won’t be able to give you a refund and we may have to send it back to you and ask you to pay for the postage. Alternatively, we (at our sole discretion) may choose to reduce your refund to reflect any reduction in the value of an item.

REFUNDS
