Refund policy
This policy explains your options for returning, exchanging and getting a refund on any purchase made from Maison Casaora. It forms part of our terms of service.
1. In short
You have thirty days from delivery to change your mind. Return shipping is on us. Your refund is issued within fourteen days of your return reaching us, to the original payment method.
2. Thirty-day returns
You may return a watch within thirty days of receiving it, for any reason, without having to justify your decision.
Where an order contains several items delivered separately, the period runs from the day you receive the last item.
Nothing in this policy limits any statutory rights you may have under the consumer law of your own country. Where those rights are more favourable, they apply.
3. How to start a return
- Write to us through the contact form on the site, giving your order number and the item or items concerned.
- We acknowledge your request within forty-eight working hours and send you a prepaid return label.
- Send the item back within fourteen days of that message.
Please do not ship anything back before contacting us. Without a label issued by us, we cannot match the parcel to your order, which delays handling considerably.
4. Condition of returned items
The item must come back complete and unworn, in its original packaging, with all accessories and documentation supplied.
You are free to handle the watch as you would in a shop, to check its nature, characteristics and proper working order. Handling that goes beyond that may reduce its value, and we may deduct a proportionate amount.
In practice, a deduction may apply to: a watch that has visibly been worn, a scratched case or glass, a bracelet that has been shortened irreversibly, a personalised engraving, or a missing original box. Any amount withheld is explained to you before a partial refund is issued.
5. Return costs
We cover return shipping in full, including when you simply change your mind. You never have to pay anything up front.
6. Refunds
We refund the full amount paid, including the original shipping, no later than fourteen days from the day we receive the item back or, if earlier, the day you provide proof that it has been sent.
Refunds go back to the payment method used for the order, unless you expressly agree to another method. There is no charge to you.
Depending on your bank, the credit can take a few extra working days to appear on your statement after we issue it.
7. Exchanges
If you would rather have another model or colour than a refund, say so in your message. We exchange it at no extra cost, subject to availability. If the item you want is unavailable, we refund you.
8. Faulty or incorrect items
A faulty item is not a change of mind, and is handled differently and more favourably:
- every watch carries our two-year commercial warranty on the movement and the case;
- repair, replacement or refund is carried out at no cost to you;
- if the fault appears within thirty days of delivery, you can ask for a refund straight away.
Describe the problem through the contact form, attaching a photograph or a short video if you can: it speeds things up considerably.
9. Damaged or missing parcels
If a parcel arrives visibly damaged, note precise reservations with the carrier on delivery, keep the packaging and tell us straight away with photographs.
If tracking shows a delivery you have not received, contact us: we open an enquiry with the carrier. Items travel at our risk until they are physically handed to you.
10. What cannot be returned
Items made to your specifications or clearly personalised, in particular an engraving carried out at your request, cannot be returned once made, unless they are faulty.
11. Complaints
Any difficulty with a return or a refund should first be raised with us through the contact form. We aim to resolve every complaint within forty-eight working hours.
