Refund Policy
October 1, 2025Introduction
At Brilinton, every product is crafted with intention, precision, and care. Each design undergoes extensive inspection before leaving our studio, ensuring that it reflects the standards of craftsmanship and quality upon which the brand was founded. While we hope each piece meets your expectations, we understand that circumstances may arise requiring a return or exchange. This policy is designed to ensure clarity, fairness, and transparency in those cases.
This policy applies exclusively to purchases made through [www.brilinton.com]. Clients who have purchased from authorized retailers or distributors should contact them directly for assistance, as their policies may differ.
Purpose and General Principles
The purpose of this policy is to provide a structured, fair, and transparent process for managing returns and refunds while upholding the integrity of Brilinton’s craftsmanship. We seek to balance client satisfaction with the protection of our products and brand.
Brilinton offers clients the right to return eligible purchases within [14 days from the date of delivery], as established under international consumer-protection standards including [EU Directive 2011/83/EU] and [U.S. FTC guidelines]. This period allows each client to experience their Brilinton piece in person and ensure it aligns with their expectations, provided that the product remains [unused and in perfect original condition].
All communication regarding returns must be conducted directly with Brilinton Client Support [support@brilinton.com]. Our team will guide you through each step, from verification to packaging instructions, ensuring that the process remains both professional and respectful.
Right of Withdrawal and Eligibility
Clients may exercise their right of withdrawal within [14 calendar days] from the date of delivery. To remain eligible, two requirements must be met within that same 14-day period:
-
The client must [notify Brilinton in writing] – by email [support@brilinton.com] – of their intent to return the product.
-
The item must be [physically shipped back within those 14 days], accompanied by a [valid dated proof of shipment] confirming dispatch within the required timeframe.
Both the notification and the shipment must occur within the 14-day window. Returns lacking proof of shipment dated within that period will not qualify under the right of withdrawal.
No additional fees or charges will apply for exercising this right, provided that the returned product is received in its [original, unused condition] with all packaging, documentation, and accessories.
This right applies exclusively to purchases made through [Brilinton’s official website] and does not supersede any longer statutory cooling-off periods applicable in your jurisdiction.
Condition of Returned Goods and Inspection
Returned goods must be received in [identical condition to delivery]. Each item undergoes detailed inspection by our quality control team to verify integrity, surface condition, and completeness of packaging.
To qualify for a full refund, the following must apply:
• The product is [unworn, unassembled, and unmodified].
• There are [no scratches, marks, or signs of wear].
• All packaging and accessories, including presentation box, silicone protectors, films, and authenticity cards, are [returned intact].
• Serial numbers, engravings, and markings remain [unaltered and legible].
If inspection reveals missing parts, wear, or signs of use, Brilinton may apply a [partial refund] reflecting diminished value or [decline the return]. Items damaged in transit due to improper packaging or lack of insurance will not qualify for refund.
Brilinton documents all returned products upon receipt with photographs for transparency and assurance.
Non-Returnable and Final-Sale Items
Certain categories of products are excluded from this policy due to their nature or production process. These include:
-
Custom, engraved, or personalized products made specifically for a client.
-
Limited or numbered editions marked as “Final Sale.”
-
Archive items offered at special pricing due to discontinued or end-of-cycle status.
-
Gift cards, promotional products, or complimentary items.
-
Replacement parts, straps, or individual components sold separately.
-
Items damaged due to misuse, unauthorized assembly, or exposure to moisture or heat.
For hygiene reasons, leather straps or goods showing visible signs of wear, bending, or adjustment to wrist size cannot be returned once used.
Defective or Incorrect Items
If your product arrives [defective, damaged, or incorrect], contact Brilinton within [7 days of delivery] and include clear photographs or a short video. Our team will review quickly.
Upon verification, Brilinton will issue a [prepaid return label] and instructions. After inspection, if a replacement is available, it will be shipped. If unavailable, we will refund [only the product price actually paid to Brilinton].
Brilinton does not reimburse duties, VAT/GST, brokerage, bank fees, or currency differences. In verified-defect cases, Brilinton covers only the return label issued by us. Clients may request duties/tax refunds from local customs authorities where allowed.

Refunds for Failed Delivery / Uncollected Shipments
Where a parcel is returned to Brilinton due to failed delivery caused by recipient inaction or refusal (including unpaid import charges or failure to collect), the order is not considered a standard return.
If a refund is granted, it will be limited to the product price paid and deducted by the actual outbound shipping cost, return shipping charges, and applicable handling fees. Shipping, duties, VAT/GST, brokerage fees, and other third-party charges are non-refundable.
