  • Defective products

  • Products damaged during shipping

Applo Studios will provide a pre-paid return shipping label via email.

A partial refund may be issued where permitted by applicable law if the returned item has missing components, damaged packaging, or other conditions that materially affect its resale condition.

Any applicable partial refund will be communicated to the customer before processing.

Replacement

For defective, damaged, incorrect, or incomplete orders, Applo Studios may offer a replacement where appropriate and available.

If a replacement is not available or appropriate, a refund may be issued instead.
