Order Cancellation

Orders can be cancelled until they are shipped. Once shipped, orders cannot be cancelled. Cancelled orders will result in a store credit for the amount charged; no refunds to credit cards are available.

ALL SALES FINAL / RETURNS & REFUNDS

All Sales are Final. Due to the food contact nature of BÉSICS® compostable products, all sales are final. Intact BESICS products cannot be returned for exchange, credit, or refunds.

Replacements In Case of Product Defect. Contact us immediately if defects of manufacture are detected in BÉSICS® compostable foodware products. Please contact us within 5 business days of your order being received to be eligible for replacement. Once defect is verified, replacements will be shipped at no additional cost to you, or store credit provided. Replacements or store credit will only be issued in cases where defective claims are reported to shop@besics.ca with photographs of product defects within 5 business days of confirmed arrival, and after Seller’s inspection of the claim and our agreement to the claimed substantially defective condition.

If you are entitled to a replacement or refund, we will replace the product or refund the purchase price as store credit. Please allow four to six (4-6) weeks for processing defective product claims.

By purchasing with us, you expressly acknowledge and agree that you waive any and all claims for damages. The Seller’s only liability here under shall be, at its sole option, for replacement of defective goods FOB Vancouver, BC, or giving credit for such defective goods.

Due to the compostable nature of the product, in no event will any claim be eligible (i) after goods have been unpackaged or used or (ii) after goods have been stored or (iii) based upon any failure or damage which can not conclusively be proven to have solely resulted from a defect in material or workmanship.

Limited Liability. BÉSICS® liability is limited to the cost of replacement product + original shipping and does not include the cost of any other charges, or giving credit for such defective goods. By purchasing with us, you expressly acknowledge and agree that you waive any and all claims for damages.
