Policy
Comprehensive Policy for Recycling Machines and Laser Cutting Services
Introduction
Ruby Dust Trading is committed to providing high-quality recycling machines and precision laser cutting services to our valued customers. We understand that, on rare occasions, products or services may not meet your expectations or requirements. To ensure customer satisfaction and uphold our dedication to excellence, we have established the following comprehensive Return and Refund Policy. This policy outlines the conditions, procedures, and timelines for returns, exchanges, and refunds related to both manufactured products (recycling machines) and custom laser cutting services.
General Principles
At Ruby Dust Trading, our Return and Refund Policy is guided by the following principles:
• Fairness and transparency in handling all return and refund requests.
• Compliance with local and international consumer protection regulations.
• Clear communication with customers regarding eligibility, procedures, and timelines.
• Continuous improvement of our products and services through feedback and quality assurance.
Section 1: Return and Refund Eligibility
1.1 Recycling Machines
Customers may request a return or refund for recycling machines under the following conditions:
• The machine arrived defective, damaged, or non-functional upon delivery.
• The machine does not match the specifications or description provided at the time of purchase.
• There are material manufacturing defects identified within the warranty period.
• The machine has not been used in a way that voids the warranty or damages the equipment due to misuse or negligence.
1.2 Laser Cutting Services
Due to the custom and personalized nature of laser cutting services, eligibility for returns and refunds is more limited. Customers may request a return or refund if:
• The finished product is significantly different from the approved design or specification submitted by the customer.
• There is visible damage or defect caused during the laser cutting process.
• The service was not delivered within the agreed-upon timeframe and this has a material impact on the customer’s project.
1.3 Non-Returnable Items and Exclusions
Certain products and circumstances are excluded from this policy, including:
• Custom or modified recycling machines built to unique customer specifications, unless defective or not as described.
• Laser-cut items that match the approved design and are free of defects.
• Consumable components or parts that have been used.
• Damage resulting from improper installation, misuse, unauthorized repair, or alteration.
• Products returned beyond the stipulated return period.
Section 2: Return and Refund Process
2.1 Initiating a Return or Refund Request
Customers should initiate a return or refund request as soon as possible upon discovering an issue. Please follow these steps:
• Contact Ruby Dust Trading’s customer service team by email or phone, providing your order number, product details, and a detailed description of the issue.
• Include clear photographs or video evidence documenting any damage, defects, or discrepancies.
• For laser cutting services, include a copy of the approved design and images of the delivered product.
• Our team will review your request within five (5) business days and respond with further instructions.
2.2 Return Authorization and Shipping
• If your request is approved, you will receive a Return Authorization Number (RAN) and detailed shipping instructions.
• Products must be returned in their original packaging, including all accessories, manuals, and documentation.
• The product should be securely packed to prevent shipping damage. Ruby Dust Trading is not responsible for items lost or damaged during return transit.
• Unless the return is due to our error (e.g., defective or incorrect product), the customer is responsible for return shipping costs.
2.3 Inspection and Approval
• Upon receipt, all returned items will be inspected by our technical team within seven (7) business days.
• If the return is approved, Ruby Dust Trading will process your refund, replacement, or repair as applicable.
• If the returned item does not meet the eligibility criteria, it will be returned to the customer at their expense, and no refund will be issued.
Section 3: Refunds
3.1 Refund Methods
• Approved refunds will be issued via the original payment method used for the purchase (e.g., credit card, bank transfer).
• Refunds may take up to ten (10) business days to process, depending on your bank or payment provider.
• Partial refunds may be issued in cases where only a portion of the order is returned or if there is minor damage that does not affect functionality.
3.2 Deductions and Adjustments
• Shipping fees (original and return) are non-refundable unless the return is due to our error.
• Restocking fees of up to 15% may be applied for returned recycling machines that are not defective or incorrectly supplied.
• Custom orders or services may be subject to additional deductions to cover material and labor costs already incurred.
Section 4: Warranty and Repairs
• All recycling machines are covered by a manufacturer’s warranty, details of which are provided at the time of purchase.
• If a defect is identified within the warranty period, customers may request a repair, replacement, or refund.
• Warranty does not cover damage resulting from misuse, unauthorized modification, natural disasters, or normal wear and tear.
• Laser cutting service issues arising from our errors will be addressed promptly, with options for rework or refund.
Section 5: Special Considerations
5.1 International Orders
• International customers are responsible for all shipping fees, customs duties, and taxes associated with returns and replacements.
• Please ensure that returned items comply with all import/export regulations and are accompanied by the appropriate documentation.
• Exchange rates and additional fees may affect the final refund amount for international transactions.
5.2 Cancellations
• Orders for standard products may be cancelled prior to shipment for a full refund.
• Custom or made-to-order recycling machines and laser cutting services cannot be cancelled once production has commenced.
5.3 Customer Responsibilities
• Inspect all deliveries promptly upon receipt and report any issues within seven (7) days of delivery.
• Retain original packaging until you are certain the product is satisfactory and meets your needs.
• Provide clear, honest, and timely communication to facilitate the return and refund process.
