CANCELLATION, RETURN & EXCHANGE
28. The seller’s chief objective is to ensure the buyer is fully satisfied with their purchase. If the item purchased is malfunctioning or defective in any way upon arrival we’re happy to assist in troubleshooting and providing the necessary replacement parts to get your product functioning as intended. If the item has been opened and/or used, refunds/exchanges may be issued on a case by case basis.
In order to qualify for return/exchange/store credit, the goods or packaging may not be damaged, and the goods must be returned in their original packaging, and accompanied by all items comprising the product. The notice of exchange or return has to be made in writing; an email will suffice: support@checkmateindustries.com.
In the event of a return or exchange, we require that you return the goods to us at your own cost or use the provided return label. If the provided return label is used, the return shipping costs will be deducted from the refund. Otherwise, no store credit/exchanges/returns will be accepted under any circumstances. Returns will not be refunded for the original shipping charges. If free shipping was applied, the actual shipping cost will be deducted from the refund. Malfunctioning or defective product returns may have the original shipping cost refunded on a case by case basis.

Our return address is detailed on your original invoice. Failure to obtain an RMA does not affect your legal, consumer rights.
30. The buyer must take reasonable care of all goods in their possession and return them to us, with their original packaging, within 10 days from the date the RMA number was issued.
All orders are automatically processed on our secure merchant processor and sent for shipment as soon as they are placed. During this process, the seller incurs irreversible costs like boxes, packing material, tape, labels, and payment processing fees.

For orders canceled outside of our standard lead time (late orders), we may waive the cancellation fee on a case by case basis. We strictly adhere to the following cancellation policy:
-If the buyer cancels the order before it has been shipped, they will be assessed a 10% cancellation fee before credit is issued.
-If the buyer cancels the order after it has been shipped, please use the Returns Portal. The cancellation will have to be treated as a Return with all applicable fees.
-Orders which are refused at delivery will be assessed all of the applicable fees listed above - including restocking, cancellation and other applicable fees.
