Defective, Damaged or Incorrect Items<\/h2>\n<p>If an item is defective, damaged upon delivery, incorrect, or materially different from the item ordered, please contact us as soon as possible and provide photographs or other supporting information where applicable.<\/p>\n<p>After verification, Dukakeen will provide the appropriate remedy in accordance with applicable consumer protection laws, which may include:<\/p>\n<p>Replacement of the item;<br \/>\nRepair where applicable; or<br \/>\nRefund of the applicable purchase amount.<br \/>\nWhere the problem is attributable to Dukakeen, the customer will not be charged return delivery costs.<\/p>\n<h2>3.

The time required for the refund to appear in the customer&#8217;s account may depend on the customer&#8217;s bank or card issuer.<\/p>\n<p>For customer-initiated returns, any refund will be calculated after deducting applicable return delivery costs and any non-refundable original delivery charges, where permitted by applicable law and disclosed under this policy.<\/p>\n<p>We will not impose any additional charge merely because the customer used a credit or debit card.<\/p>\n<h2>4. Cancellation Before Dispatch<\/h2>\n<p>If a customer requests cancellation before the order has been dispatched, Dukakeen will review the request and, where cancellation is possible, process the refund in accordance with this policy and applicable law.<\/p>\n<p>If the order has already been dispatched, the request will be treated as a return request.<\/p>\n<h2>5.

Return Shipping<\/h2>\n<p>For returns requested because of customer preference, change of mind, wrong selection, or customer error, the customer is responsible for the applicable return shipping cost.<\/p>\n<p>For defective, damaged, incorrect, or non-conforming products attributable to Dukakeen, Dukakeen will arrange or bear the applicable return shipping cost, subject to verification.<\/p>\n<h2>7. Refund Processing Time<\/h2>\n<p>After the returned item is received and approved, we will initiate the refund as soon as reasonably practicable.<\/p>\n<p>The time for the refunded amount to appear in the customer&#8217;s bank or card account may vary depending on the payment provider, bank, or card issuer.<\/p>\n<h2>8. GCC Orders<\/h2>\n<p>For orders delivered to GCC countries, this policy applies subject to the mandatory consumer protection laws and regulations of the destination country.<\/p>\n<p>Where the law of the destination country provides a consumer with rights that cannot legally be excluded or limited by this policy, those legal rights will prevail.<\/p>\n<h2>9.
