Returns & Refunds Policy

Returns & Refunds Policy:

Thank you for shopping with GROOV (NZ). We have implemented a returns and refunds policy to ensure customer satisfaction. Please read the following guidelines carefully:

1. Initiation of Exchange: To initiate an exchange, please contact GROOV (NZ) within 14 days of the original purchase date.

2. Returns for Damaged or Faulty Products: We have a firm policy in place for accepting returns on most full-price products that are damaged or faulty. To be eligible for a return, please refrain from inspecting, opening, tearing, or attempting to open the inner components of the device. Opening or attempting to open the product will void your eligibility for returns or replacements, and any resulting damages will not be covered under the limited warranty.

3. Sale Products: Sale products are non-exchangeable and non-refundable unless they are faulty or damaged under the manufacturer's warranty.

4. Change of Mind: We do not offer refunds for purchases made if you change your mind, find the product does not meet your needs, or are not satisfied with the product.

5. Eligibility for Exchange: However, if you have purchased full-price product(s) and wish to exchange it, you may submit a request. To be eligible for an exchange, the product(s) must be in a brand-new condition and meet the following criteria:

   • The product must be in the original unopened packaging, still in plastic wrap.
   • The product must be in an unused condition with all labels and tags attached.

6. Faulty, Damaged, or Incorrect Items: If you have received a faulty, damaged, or incorrect item, please contact our support team immediately. They will assist you in resolving the issue.

7. Refund of Shipping Costs: Please note that the original shipping costs will not be refunded.

Process For Return/Exchange:

To ensure a smooth return or exchange process, please carefully follow the guidelines outlined below:

1. Obtain Return Approval: All items being returned to GROOV (NZ) must receive prior return approval. Any returns without approval will be denied.

2. Submit Request Online: To initiate a return or exchange, please submit your request through our online form.

3. Return Deadline: The product must be physically returned to the GROOV (NZ) office in Christchurch within fourteen (14) days from the date of purchase.

4. Arrange Freight: The purchaser is responsible for arranging and covering the cost of any freight (courier or post) for the return.

5. Secure Packaging: It is essential to appropriately package all returned items to ensure their safety and prevent damage. GROOV (NZ) reserves the right to deny any return if the item is received in a damaged state due to inadequate packaging.

6. Review Purchase Order: We recommend that you compare your purchase order with the receipt as soon as you receive the items to identify any potential return or exchange requirements.

7. Timely Action: GROOV (NZ) will take prompt action, typically within 30 days from the date of purchase, to address any errors, inaccuracies, manufacturer faults, or damages that are brought to our attention.

8. Inspection and Evaluation: Upon receiving your return package, we will carefully inspect the item and consult with our supplier or manufacturer. We will then provide you with an update on the status of your return request. Please note that if there is evidence of the customer having internally opened the device themselves, the return will regrettably be denied.

9. Contact Customer Support: If you have any queries or concerns regarding your purchase refund or exchange, please reach out to our support team.
