HVS Global Returns Policy
HVS Global Returns Policy
At HVS Global, we aim to provide high-quality products and excellent service to our valued B2B customers. We understand that on occasion, an item may need to be returned. Our policy outlines the procedures and conditions for various return scenarios.
General Return Conditions
- Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) Required: All returns, regardless of the reason, must first be authorised by us. Please complete the form at the bottom of this page to request an RMA number. Returns received without a valid RMA number may be rejected or incur additional processing delays.
- Warranty Information: Please retain all warranty information that accompanies your item, as this will be required for processing any warranty-related claims.
- Legal Rights: These terms and conditions are in addition to your rights in law and do not in any way take away, replace, reduce, or minimise those rights.
Non-Returnable Items
For reasons of hygiene, safety, and product integrity, the following items are generally non-returnable:
- Water Filters
- Water Bottles
- Cups
- UV Lamps
- Sanitation Products
If you believe one of these items is faulty or defective upon receipt, or was damaged in transit, please refer to the relevant sections below for the correct returns process, as your statutory rights in these cases remain unaffected.
Specific Return Reasons & Processes
1. Damaged in Transit
If you take delivery of goods that have been visibly damaged during transit:
2. Faulty or Defective Items
In the unlikely event that you receive a faulty or defective item:
3. Non-Faulty Returns
We understand that circumstances may lead to the return of a non-faulty item. Such returns are subject to the following conditions:
- Return Window: You must request an RMA within 14 days of receipt of the item(s).
- Product Condition: Items must be returned in unused, pristine condition, in their original, undamaged packaging, with all accessories and documentation included, and suitable for resale as new. Items not meeting these criteria may be subject to a higher restocking fee or refusal of return.
- Restocking Charge: A 25% restocking charge will apply to all approved non-faulty returns. This charge covers our costs associated with handling, inspection, administrative processing, and the potential diminished value of the item.
- Return Shipping: You are responsible for arranging and covering the cost of returning the item(s) to us. We recommend using a reputable courier service with tracking and appropriate insurance, given the size and weight of the product. Items must be securely packaged to prevent damage during transit.
- Resolution: Upon receipt and satisfactory inspection of the returned item(s), we will issue a refund for the original purchase price, less the 25% restocking charge. We do not offer exchanges for non-faulty items.
