The product was expired at the time of delivery or has another substantiated quality issue; or e.

However, the absence of original packaging or a receipt shall not automatically extinguish any rights granted to the customer by law. Complaints involving defects, incorrect deliveries, or product safety shall be evaluated based on the circumstances and applicable legal requirements. 3.3 Products Generally Not Eligible for Return As a general rule, the company may decline returns involving: a. Products that have been opened or used, where there is no defect or other valid legal basis for return; b. Products damaged due to improper storage, misuse, or negligence after delivery to the customer; c. Products that have been altered, contaminated, or tampered with after delivery; and d. Products requested to be returned solely because the buyer changed their mind, unless permitted by law or the company's written policy. These restrictions shall not be used to deny legitimate claims involving defective products, incorrect deliveries, or other rights protected by law.

Replacement with the same product; b. Replacement with another mutually agreed product; or c. A refund or another appropriate remedy, where required or permitted by law. The appropriate remedy shall depend on the nature of the issue, product availability, and applicable legal requirements. 4.2 Exchanges Due to a Change of Mind An exchange requested solely because the buyer changed their mind may be accepted provided the product is unused, in acceptable condition, and meets the stated requirements. Reasonable and previously disclosed shipping or handling costs may be charged where lawful. Customers shall not be charged costs that are the company's responsibility in connection with defective products or incorrect deliveries.

Order Cancellations

5.1 Cancellation Before Dispatch A customer or member may request cancellation before the order is processed or dispatched. The request should be communicated promptly to prevent shipment. If the order has not yet been dispatched, the company may cancel it and refund the amount paid. 5.2 Cancellation After Dispatch If the order has already been dispatched, the request may be handled as a product return request under this policy, without limiting any rights the customer may have under applicable law. 5.3 Cancellation by the Company The company may cancel an order for a legitimate reason, including: a. Product unavailability; b. A clear pricing or order-processing error that cannot lawfully be fulfilled; c. A suspected fraudulent transaction requiring verification; or d.

If a promotional order is refunded or cancelled, the relevant sales records and any rebates, commissions, or points incorrectly credited shall be adjusted in accordance with the official compensation plan and applicable law.
