What are my Rights? Am I eligible for a Refund from Alchemy
At Alchemy, we value our users and strive to provide a transparent understanding of your rights regarding refunds. Our services focus on premium hookah products and accessories, which have specific eligibility criteria for refunds based on the nature of the items sold and the status of your order or subscription.
Here are some situations that may qualify for refunds:
Damaged or Defective Items: If you receive a product that is damaged or defective upon arrival, you may be eligible for a refund or exchange. Please ensure to report these issues within a specified timeframe after delivery.
Incorrect Items Shipped: Should you receive an item that differs from what you ordered, you might qualify for a refund or replacement. It's important to contact our customer service to initiate this process.
Order Cancellations: If you cancel your order before it has been processed or shipped, you may be eligible for a full refund. Please review your order status and contact support promptly for such requests.
Subscription Service Adjustments: For users on a subscription plan, if you choose to cancel your subscription before the next billing cycle, you might be eligible to have your future charges discontinued. Refunds for the current billing cycle may depend on usage and specific terms of the subscription.
Service Interruption: In cases where there has been a prolonged service interruption that affects your experience, you may be eligible for service credits or adjustments, which will be assessed by our customer support team.
