4.Our Refunds Policy

By law, customers located in the European Union have the right to withdraw from the purchase of an item within seven working days of the day after the date the item is delivered. You must notify us in writing during this time period to request a returns number which should be included in the return. All packs must be unopened and undamaged. You should be aware that product packs have an invisible seal which shows evidence of attempted tamper under a screening light.  Please return the goods so that we receive them within seven working days of the day after the date that the item was delivered to you. You can expect a refund in the same form of payment originally used for purchase within three weeks of our receiving your return, less the cost of postage.

 We do not accept returns or offer refunds for product sent outside the European Union.

Please note that you will be responsible for the costs of returning any items to us. For your protection, we recommend that you use a recorded (Signed For) delivery service, in case you need to claim compensation for loss.

If you wish to return an Ear Buddies™ kit, and have ordered other products in addition, then all products ordered must be returned.
