Order Cancellation Policy for Non-Stock Customized Products

1. Overview

At Kindness First, each customized jewelry piece is handcrafted to meet the unique needs of every customer.

Once production begins, materials and labor are allocated specifically to your order. Therefore, cancellation policies for customized or made-to-order items differ from ready-to-ship products.

2. Cancellation Before Production

• If you wish to cancel your order within 24 hours after purchase and before production begins, you may apply for a full refund, excluding any non-refundable transaction or handling fees.
• If the customized design has not yet started production, cancellation may incur a design fee ranging from US$50 to US$100. The exact amount depends on the jewelry design, whether simple or complex.
• If a non-ready-to-ship or made-to-order customized product has entered the production process after CAD confirmation, such as stone procurement, inventory adjustment, or similar steps, cancellation may incur related material and service fees.

3. Cancellation After Completion

If the product has been fully produced but has not yet been delivered, cancellation will incur a 50% service fee based on the total order value. This fee is used to cover material and labor costs.

Customized products cannot be exchanged or returned, except when it is verified that there is a manufacturing defect.

Special Notes

• Customized products include engraved jewelry, personalized designs, made-to-order pieces, and any items not in our ready-to-ship collection.
• Once production enters an important stage, we reserve the right to refuse order cancellation.

4. Company-Related Refunds

If the product or service cannot be used properly due to our side’s fault, we will offer a full refund with no deductions.

5. How to Cancel an Order

• Please email your sales representative of Kindness First as soon as possible.
• Please include your order number, product name, and reason for cancellation in the email.
• We will confirm whether your order is eligible for a partial or full refund based on its production status.
