To be eligible for a return, your item must meet the following conditions:

  • Timeframe: You can return the item within 30 days from the date you received it.
  • Condition: The product must be unused, undamaged, and in its original condition, with all packaging, manuals, and accessories included.
  • Proof of Purchase: You must provide a valid receipt or order confirmation when returning the product.

  • Opened or used electronic items (such as cameras, lenses, and other accessories).
  • Customized or personalized products.
  • Gift cards and downloadable software or digital content.
  • Items marked as “Final Sale.”

2. How to Return an Item

If you would like to return a product, please follow these steps:

  1. Contact Us: Email us at info@summithato.net or call (803) 438-9241 to initiate the return process. Please provide your order number and the reason for the return.
  2. Return Authorization: Our customer support team will review your request and provide you with a Return Authorization (RA) number. This is required for processing the return.
  3. Prepare the Product for Return: Carefully package the item in its original packaging. Be sure to include the RA number, a copy of your order confirmation or receipt, and any accessories or manuals.
  4. Ship the Item Back: Once you have received the RA number, return the product to the address provided by our customer service team. You will be responsible for the return shipping costs unless the item is defective or damaged upon arrival.

3. Refund Process

Once your returned item is received and inspected, we will process your refund within 7-10 business days. Refunds will be issued to the original payment method used for the purchase. Please note that it may take additional time for the refund to reflect in your account, depending on your payment provider.

3.1 Refund Amount

The amount refunded will be the total purchase price of the item(s) returned, minus any shipping costs or handling fees. If the product is returned in a condition that is not suitable for resale (damaged or missing parts), the refund amount may be reduced.

3.2 Processing Fee

In some cases, a restocking fee may be applied to returns, especially for large or bulky items, or items that are returned after the 30-day return window.

4. Exchanges

If you wish to exchange a product for another of equal or lesser value, we will gladly process the exchange once the original product is returned and inspected. You will be responsible for any difference in price, and the shipping cost for the new item may be applied.

5. Damaged or Defective Products

If your product is damaged or defective upon arrival, please contact us immediately at info@summithato.net or call (803) 438-9241. We will arrange for a return, replacement, or refund at no additional cost to you.

Please report any damage within 7 days of receiving your order. To expedite the process, provide detailed photos of the damaged or defective product and the original packaging.

6. Shipping Costs

  • Return Shipping Costs: You will be responsible for return shipping costs unless the product is defective, damaged, or the wrong item was shipped.
  • Original Shipping Costs: Shipping charges for your original order are non-refundable, except in cases where we have made an error or the product was defective.

7. International Returns

For customers outside the United States, return shipping costs and customs duties are the responsibility of the customer. Please ensure the product is properly packaged to avoid damage during return shipping. We are not responsible for any additional taxes or import duties incurred on international returns.

8. Exclusions and Limitations

While we aim to ensure your satisfaction, Summithato reserves the right to refuse returns or exchanges if the product does not meet our return criteria. Returns are only accepted if the product is returned in its original, unused condition. Products that show signs of damage, wear, or misuse will not be accepted.
