Refunds

 

FLO will use its commercially reasonable efforts to process all Products returned in accordance with these Terms within ten (10) business days after receipt. Upon satisfactory inspection of the returned Products, FLO will refund the purchase price, the shipping fees charged by us when we first sent you the Product and the taxes collected. If a Product has been removed from the original packaging, FLO may deduct from the original purchase price a repackaging fee equal to 10% of the purchase price. All refunds are made through the same credit card as used for the original purchase of the Product. If we find that you have damaged or used the Product, we will not provide a refund, but we will send you the Product to an address you specify, provided you pay the shipping fees in advance.  In addition, no refunds will be provided to you if you provide the wrong or insufficient address or provide no address.  You are solely responsible for unclaimed packages due to the foregoing and for entering the correct delivery address.
