We want the purchase process to be clear, fair and transparent. This policy details how to cancel the transaction, return products and receive a refund for purchases made on the site. The aforementioned is subject to the provisions of the Consumer Protection Law, 1981-1981 and any relevant law.

2.1 Cancellation of a transaction made on the website

When purchasing a product on the website, you can notify of the cancellation of the transaction within 14 days from the date of receipt of the product or from the date of receipt of the transaction details document – whichever is later, and subject to the law.

A cancellation notice can be sent via the contact form on the website or through all the contact details specified on the website.

The cancellation notice must state: full name, order number, contact details, the product purchased, the reason for cancellation if any, and whether the product has been received or not yet shipped.

2.2 Cancellation of advance order

For products sold as part of a pre-order, cancellation can be requested before the product is shipped, provided that the product has not yet been personalized, not signed with a personal dedication, not numbered, not personally packaged and not specially prepared for the customer. In case of cancellation of a pre-order before the product is sent, we will work to recover the payment in accordance with the law and this policy.

2.3 Individual, numbered or dedicated editions

Products that have been personalized at the customer’s request – including a product with a personal dedication, a personal certificate, a personal number, a personal card, a special fit or specially prepared packaging – may be excluded from the right of cancellation, insofar as the personal fit has already been carried out, and in accordance with the provisions of the law.

For example: the founders’ edition of “Scarred Stone”, which includes a personal dedication, a certificate or a personal numbering, will be considered a personal product after the personalization. If the customization has not yet been done and the product has not yet been shipped, you can contact us and we will check the cancellation option.

In case of canceling a transaction after receiving the product, the product must be returned intact, undamaged, without use beyond a reasonable inspection of the product, and as much as possible in its original packaging.

In the case of cancellation of a transaction not due to a defect, inconsistency or violation on the part of the business, the business may charge a cancellation fee in accordance with the law – up to 5% of the transaction price or NIS 100, whichever is lower. In the event of a product defect, non-conformity, non-delivery at the appointed time or any other violation on the part of the business – no cancellation fees will be charged.
