Any damage to the product can be cause for the item being denied for Return or Exchange. In some cases a damage fee will be charged to the customer for the product being Returned or Exchanged.

Damage resulting in creases to the wetsuit can be grounds for denying refunds or exchanges. Be sure to Pack The Product Loosely. Fold it like a nice collared shirt. Do Not fold the chest in half so that a crease runs vertically up the center of the chest. We appreciate your cooperation and care of our products.

CREDIT CARD ORDERS

You can use American Express, Discover, Visa, and MasterCard for orders to almost anywhere in the world. When you use your credit card, please provide your credit card billing address, if different from the shipping address, and daytime/evening phone numbers. If the billing address you give us does not match the one that is on file at the financial institution, or if authorization is not given for any reason, we reserve the right to cancel the order without notification. We cannot work out credit card problems with the financial institution; you must settle problems with them and reorder once the problem is resolved.

CREDITS AND BALANCES DUE

Any credits on your account with us will be refunded promptly (usually within 2-3 business days). We will use the same method to refund the amount as you used when you placed the order. For example, if the order was paid by credit card, we will credit your credit card account.

BACKORDERS

The unique nature of our business it’s unlikely that your desired products will not be shipped promptly because they are on backorder. You will usually be notified by email if your order cannot be shipped within a reasonable time frame.

APO AND FPO ADDRESSES

When you request orders to ship to an APO or FPO address, your package will generally ship via USPS.
