PLEASE NOTE: We will not replace product if you provided the wrong shipping address and the product was delivered there.

The safety seal on the product must be intact, with the product having not been opened or used.
You must contact us within 7 calendar days (1 week) of receiving the product to initiate the exchange process.
You will be liable for the shipping charges to return the product to us.
