Returns & Refund Policy
Last Updated: [DATE]
At Five Oceans, we aim to provide accurate product information and reliable fulfillment. This policy explains how returns, refunds, replacements and product-related claims are handled.
1. Important Notice
Return and refund eligibility depends on:
-
the product;
-
the product's individual return status;
-
the reason for the return;
-
the condition of the product;
-
applicable law; and
-
the circumstances of the order.
Some products may be specifically identified as non-returnable or non-exchangeable on their product page.
However, a product being marked non-returnable does not remove mandatory consumer rights that cannot legally be excluded.
2. Damaged Products
If your product arrives damaged, contact us at:
Please provide:
-
order number;
-
photographs of the external package;
-
photographs of the damaged product;
-
video evidence where reasonably requested;
-
description of the damage; and
-
any other information required to investigate the claim.
Please contact us as soon as reasonably possible after receiving the order.
3. Incorrect Product
If you receive an item that is materially different from the product you ordered, contact us at:
Please provide photographs and your order number.
We will review the matter and determine the appropriate resolution.
4. Defective or Non-Conforming Products
If a product is defective, materially non-conforming or otherwise subject to a consumer remedy under applicable law, contact us promptly.
Depending on the circumstances and applicable law, the available remedy may include:
-
replacement;
-
repair;
-
refund;
-
partial refund; or
-
another legally required remedy.
5. Change-of-Mind Returns
Change-of-mind returns are subject to:
-
applicable consumer laws;
-
the product's eligibility;
-
the condition of the product; and
-
any lawful product-specific exclusions.
Some products may not be eligible for return because of their nature, hygiene considerations, customization, consumption, or other lawful restrictions.
Where applicable law provides a statutory withdrawal or cancellation right, that right will take precedence over conflicting store terms.
6. Non-Returnable Products
Certain products may be identified on their product page as:
"Non-returnable and non-exchangeable."
This designation applies subject to applicable law.
It does not exclude remedies that cannot legally be excluded, including rights relating to defective, damaged or incorrectly supplied products where such rights apply.
7. Return Condition
Where a return is legally permitted, products may need to be returned:
-
unused;
-
in their original condition;
-
with original packaging;
-
with included accessories; and
-
with any documentation supplied with the product.
Specific requirements may vary depending on the product and applicable law.
8. Return Shipping
Responsibility for return shipping costs depends on:
-
the reason for the return;
-
the product;
-
the applicable policy;
-
the applicable law; and
-
whether the product was damaged, defective or incorrectly supplied.
We will provide return instructions where a return is approved or legally required.
9. Refunds
Once a refund is approved, the refund will generally be processed through the original payment method where reasonably possible.
The time required for the funds to appear in your account may depend on your bank or payment provider.
10. Partial Refunds
Where appropriate and permitted by law, a partial refund may be offered for circumstances such as:
-
minor defects that do not justify a full return;
-
partial fulfillment issues; or
-
other agreed resolutions.
11. Exchanges
Exchanges may be offered where:
-
the product is eligible;
-
replacement stock is available; and
-
an exchange is appropriate under the circumstances and applicable law.
Where an exchange is unavailable, another remedy may be provided where required.
12. How to Request a Return or Refund
Email:
Please include:
Subject: Return/Refund Request – [Order Number]
Include:
-

-
product name;
-
reason for the request;

any other information requested by our support team.
13. Fraudulent or Abusive Claims
We reserve the right to investigate suspicious or fraudulent refund claims.
Nothing in this section limits legitimate consumer rights.
14. Mandatory Consumer Rights
Nothing in this policy excludes, restricts, or overrides consumer rights that are mandatory under the laws applicable to your purchase.
Where local law provides stronger consumer protections, those protections will apply to the extent required by law.
