1. RETURNS AND REFUNDS

1.1 ORDER CANCELLATIONS

Unshipped Orders:

Order cancellations must be done within 2 business days from order date. We are unable to cancel orders that fall over this allotted time frame.

MERGE SCREENS engages with a designated Payment Processor to facilitate transactions. A fee of 3.5% of the total purchase value is levied by the Payment Processor for each transaction. It is important to note that this fee is non-refundable, even in instances where MERGE SCREENS issues a full refund to a customer following a cancellation initiated by the customer.

Therefore, in the event of an immediate cancellation request (within 2 business days from payment) from a customer, a cancellation fee equivalent to 3.5% of the purchase value will be applied. This measure is to offset the non-recoverable costs incurred by MERGE SCREENS in the course of receiving and processing payments.

As a gesture of our appreciation and to foster a continued relationship, should customers decide to make a subsequent purchase from MERGE SCREENS, the previously applied 3.5% cancellation fee will be credited back to them in the form of a discount voucher. This policy reflects our commitment to customer satisfaction and gratitude for their loyalty.

Shipped Orders:

If your order has shipped and you opt to cancel, Section 1.2 will apply. You must first receive the item and then contact us to initiate the return.

By shipped orders, we mean orders that have already been collected from our warehouse, by our courier, and a shipping label created or generated. At this stage, we can no longer redirect or recall any package/order. Note that shipping labels are only generated once an order has been picked up from our warehouse, and will usually show movement within 1-3 business days after label creation.

If delivery is refused or undeliverable, we will deduct $75 from your refund on top of applicable restocking fees to cover for return shipping.

Unverified Orders:

Before sending out any order, MERGE SCREENS needs to verify product-vehicle compatibility. MERGE SCREENS cannot send the product before confirming compatibility and setting-up the unit for the customers specific vehicle characteristics. In order to do so, we will reach out to the customer through several channels. If after doing 3 E-Mail reach-out attempts, 3 SMS reach-out attempts, 3 WhatsApp reach-out attempts, 3 phone call reach-out attempts, and 3 voice mail reach-out attempts in a time period of 10 business days, no answer whatsoever from the customer is given, then MERGE SCREENS will proceed to refund the customer while applying a 5% cancellation fee. This 5% cancellation fee is broken down into a 3.5% fee which is charged to MERGE SCREENS by the payment processor, as explained in article 'Unshipped Orders', and into a 1.5% fee which represents the invested time and man-power by MERGE SCREENS employees to try and contact the customer.

Hence a 95% refund will be provided to the customer if the aforementioned conditions are met.

As a gesture of our appreciation and to foster a continued relationship, should customers decide to make a subsequent purchase from MERGE SCREENS, the previously applied 5% cancellation fee will be credited back to them in the form of a discount voucher. This policy reflects our commitment to customer satisfaction and gratitude for their loyalty.
