Return and Refund Policy
Returns & Exchange Policy
Ethniq accepts returns or exchanges only for the following types of unused products:
- Products delivered with visible physical damage;
- Incomplete deliveries where the full order was not received;
- Products that do not match the description as shown on the website;
- Incorrect item count in the delivered package.
To be eligible for a return or exchange, you must notify Ethniq in writing within five (5) business days of receiving the product. Please ensure that the product has not been consumed and remains in its original condition.
Once your request is received within the stipulated period, Ethniq will arrange for product pickup via a logistics partner at no additional cost to you. The returned item will be subject to an inspection process.
Following the inspection, Ethniq will determine if the product qualifies as damaged, defective, incorrect, or incomplete. If the item has been used or does not meet the criteria, you will be notified, and the original item will be returned to your shipping address. In such cases, you will bear the cost of reshipment.
If the inspection confirms that the item is eligible for return or exchange, Ethniq will proceed accordingly:
- For exchanges: a replacement product will be shipped within fifteen (15) business days.
- For returns: the payment made at the time of purchase will be refunded according to the Refund Policy.
If the product is consumed, or if the return process is not followed as directed, Ethniq holds no obligation to accept the return.
All decisions made by Ethniq regarding return or exchange requests will be final and binding, and you agree not to dispute these decisions in any form.
