1. General Principles
- Refunds are designed to give customers confidence in their purchases while maintaining fairness to all parties involved.
- Refunds may be issued in the form of:
- Original payment method (credit/debit card, digital wallet, etc.).
- Store credit or gift voucher, depending on your preference and eligibility.
- Products must typically be returned in their original, unused condition with tags, labels, packaging, and proof of purchase.
2. Eligibility for Refunds
To qualify for a refund:
- The item must be purchased directly from NovaBuyy. Items bought through third-party sellers, resellers, or marketplaces are not covered under this policy.
- The return request must be initiated within the designated return window (see Section 3).
- Products should not fall under our list of non-refundable items (see Section 7).
- Customers must provide a valid receipt, invoice, or order number to process the request.
3. Timeframe for Returns and Refunds
- Standard Refund Window: Customers have 30 calendar days from the date of delivery to request a refund.
- Holiday & Promotional Periods: During special events such as holiday sales, we may extend the return period to 45 calendar days.
- Late Requests: Requests made after the deadline may not qualify, unless exceptional circumstances apply (e.g., product defect or shipping error).
4. Refund Process
Here’s how the refund process works:
- Step 1 – Initiation:
Contact NovaBuyy Customer Support via email (support@novabuyy.com) or through your account dashboard to initiate a return request. - Step 2 – Approval:
Our team will review the request. If approved, you will receive a Return Authorization Number (RAN) along with instructions for returning the item. - Step 3 – Shipping Back the Item:
- Pack the item securely in its original packaging.
- Clearly mark the RAN on the package.
- Use the designated courier partner or a trusted shipping method with tracking.
- Step 4 – Inspection:
Once received, our quality assurance team inspects the item to verify eligibility. - Step 5 – Refund Issuance:
If the return is approved, we process the refund within 7–14 business days. Refund times may vary depending on your bank or payment provider.
5. Types of Refunds
a. Full Refunds
- Issued when the product is defective, damaged upon arrival, or the wrong item was shipped.

b. Partial Refunds
- May apply when only part of an order is returned.
- May apply if an item shows minor signs of use but remains in resellable condition.
