We may receive a benefit (which may include a referral fee or a commission) should you visit certain third-party websites via a link on the Site or for featuring certain products or services on the Site.

Returns
(a) We offer returns and refunds of products for change of mind where we determine (at our absolute discretion) that:
-
we have received an email from you at customercare@apricitestudios.com requesting to return the product(s) you purchased;
-
you have provided the proof of purchase and you purchased the products within 14 days prior to the request for a refund;
-
the products are in their original condition and have not been used, worn, tried on, damaged, tampered with, washed or altered;
-
the products are in their original undamaged packaging with all product tags still intact;
-
the products were purchased at full price and not during a sale or promotion.
Warranty
We take pride in the quality and craftsmanship of our products, and as a reflection of the care behind each piece, we offer a 1-year manufacturing warranty valid from the date of the original purchase.
The warranty covers:
-
Manufacturing defects related to the materials or workmanship.
The warranty does not cover:
-
Damage as a result of misuse, improper care or storage, accidents or lost items
-
Regular wear and tear
-
Shipping damage not caused by us
-
Items bought at a 50% discount or higher, or any items purchased or received for free
Warranty resolution:
For valid claims, we offer repairs (where possible), direct replacement of the faulty item or store credit for the original purchase amount, at our absolute discretion (limited to one replacement per product). Any alteration or abuse voids this warranty. If the delivery address changes, the customer is responsible for any additional shipping costs that exceed the amount paid for the original order’s shipping.
To initiate a warranty claim, please email us at customercare@apricitestudios.com with your order number, a description of the issue along with supporting photos/videos clearly showing the damage. We assess claims on a case-by-case basis, ensuring a fair resolution.
