Under European Union consumer legislation, customers residing in European markets possess a statutory right to withdraw from their purchase without stating a reason within 14 days.

• Notification Requirement: To exercise your right of withdrawal, you must submit an explicit written request to eyeglass@vaultframecase.com within the 14-day period.
• Return Address: Items authorized for statutory return must be shipped back to our official European address:vaultframecase Returns Department, Friedrichstraße 128, 10117 Berlin, Germany.
• Condition & Postage Costs: Returned items must remain in their original condition and packaging. Unless the item arrived defective or incorrect, the customer is responsible for direct return postage costs.
• Statutory Reimbursement Window: Upon receiving the returned goods or valid proof of return dispatch, we will refund all payments received for the purchase within 14 days.

3. Damaged, Defective, or Faulty Merchandise

We take full responsibility for delivering products that conform strictly to quality standards. If you receive an item that arrives damaged or exhibits manufacturing defects upon delivery:

• Documentation Process: Contact our team via eyeglass@vaultframecase.com within a reasonable timeframe, providing your order reference number along with clear photographic or video evidence demonstrating the issue.
• Streamlined Resolution: Upon inspection and verification of the provided evidence, we will arrange a complimentary replacement dispatch or a complete monetary refund.
• Return Authorization: Instructions for returning or disposing of damaged items will be provided directly by customer care upon review.

4. Transit Delays & Non-Delivery Refunds

Orders destined for European locations are processed through commercial carrier partners (such as DHL, DPD, FedEx, or UPS), with a standard estimated transit timeline of 5 to 12 business days. Automated tracking status updates are sent to your registered email address at key milestones (dispatch, regional hub arrival, and local routing).

• Carrier Investigations: If your shipment exceeds the 12 business day timeframe from dispatch, please inform us via email. We will immediately open a formal trace and investigation with the carrier.
• Non-Delivery Refund: Following official carrier confirmation regarding a lost package or permanent transit blockage, a full monetary refund or an immediate replacement dispatch will be issued according to customer preference.

5. Refund Method & Processing Timeframes

Upon confirmation and approval of a refund (whether under statutory withdrawal, defective goods verification, or non-delivery resolution), monetary reimbursements are issued as follows:

• Original Payment Method: Refunds are processed directly back to the exact payment method utilized during original checkout via Stripe (including Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Apple Pay, Google Pay, or supported digital wallets).
• Processing Period: Once approved, refunds are initiated within 5 to 10 business days, depending on banking institution and card network processing schedules. You will receive an automated email confirmation once the credit transaction is submitted.
