Policy on Returns and Product Exchanges

At UAE Water Delivery, we are dedicated to offering superior products and service. We recognize that there may be occasions when you need to return or exchange an item purchased from our online platform. This policy outlines the specific criteria, timeframes, and steps involved in handling returns and exchanges, ensuring fairness and clarity for everyone. We urge you to review this document thoroughly before making any purchase to understand your rights and responsibilities.

1. Eligibility Requirements for Returns and Exchanges

For an item to qualify for a return or exchange, it must satisfy the following criteria:

  • The merchandise must have been acquired directly from UAE Water Delivery via our official digital storefront.
  • The return or exchange request must be initiated within the designated return window, as detailed subsequently.
  • The product must remain in its original, pristine state—unopened, unworn, unlaundered, and complete with all original tags, labels, and packaging materials.
  • Proof of purchase, such as the original sales receipt or order confirmation, must accompany the items.
  • In cases of faulty or damaged goods, customers are required to inform us immediately upon delivery and provide photographic proof of the defect or damage.
  • Items designated for return must be packed securely to prevent any damage during shipment.

Items returned without meeting these stipulated conditions may be rejected or incur a restocking charge.

2. Permissible Periods for Returns and Exchanges

The window for requesting a return or exchange begins from the date the product is received by the customer. The applicable timeframes are:

  • Standard Returns and Exchanges: Requests for standard returns or exchanges must be submitted within 14 calendar days following the receipt of the item.
  • Defective or Damaged Merchandise: Any defects or damage must be reported within 7 calendar days from the date of delivery. Verification and resolution procedures will be expedited.
  • Items Not Eligible for Return: Certain product categories are exempt from these timeframes and cannot be returned or exchanged (refer to Section 5 for details).

Failure to submit a return or exchange request within the specified periods will result in the forfeiture of the right to return or exchange the item.

3. Steps for Initiating a Return

To commence a return or exchange process, customers should adhere to the following steps:

  1. Reach out to our Customer Support team via the communication channels provided on our website within the eligible timeframe, furnishing your order number and the reason for the return or exchange.
  2. Our support personnel will review your request and, upon approval, furnish detailed instructions for the return shipment, including the authorized return delivery address.
  3. Ensure the item is securely packaged and dispatched using a reputable courier service that offers tracking capabilities. Customers are advised to keep all shipment documentation.
  4. Once the returned product is received and thoroughly inspected to confirm it meets the return criteria, the refund or exchange process will commence.

Customers are responsible for covering the expenses associated with return shipping, except when the return is necessitated by an error on the part of UAE Water Delivery (e.g., if an incorrect or faulty item was sent). In such specific circumstances, the return shipping fees will be refunded.

4. Options for Refunds and Exchanges

Refunds and exchanges will be processed without undue delay once we have verified that the returned item conforms to our return conditions. The following methods are available:

  • Refunds: Reimbursements will be issued through the original method of payment. Depending on the banking institution, bank transfers or credit card refunds may take between 5 to 10 business days to reflect.
  • Store Credit: In certain instances, customers may choose to receive store credit, which can be utilized for future purchases on the UAE Water Delivery platform.
  • Exchanges: Approved exchanges will be fulfilled by dispatching the substitute product subsequent to the receipt and inspection of the initial item.
  • Partial Refunds: These may be offered in situations where a product is returned with minor imperfections or missing components but is still accepted.

Kindly be aware that any shipping charges incurred during the original purchase are generally non-refundable, unless the return arises from an error attributable to our company.

5. Items Excluded from Return and Exchange Eligibility

Owing to the inherent characteristics of specific products or regional legal mandates, the following categories of items are designated as ineligible for return or exchange:

  • Hygiene products or cosmetics that have been opened or utilized.
  • Consumable items such as food, floral arrangements, or any products with a limited shelf life.
  • Goods that have been custom-made, personalized, or produced specifically to order.
  • Digital content, software licenses, and gift vouchers once they have been purchased and delivered.
  • Products exhibiting damage resulting from customer misuse, improper handling, or neglect.
  • Merchandise sold during promotional events or clearance sales, explicitly marked as a final sale.

We advise customers to thoroughly review product descriptions before finalizing their purchases to prevent any inconvenience concerning items that cannot be returned.

6. Data Privacy and Protection During Return Procedures

  • The personal information gathered throughout the return process is strictly limited to what is essential for verifying the purchase, processing the request, and providing necessary customer assistance.
