Applicable Period and Conditions
You have 30 days to return for refunds or 90 days to return for exchange or store credit. Which means you have the said number of days from the date of delivery of your product to request a return.

You’ll also need a copy of the receipt or proof of purchase.
Damages and issues
Each product in your order will be subject to only one return transaction. Please inspect your entire order upon reception and contact us immediately if the item is defective, damaged or if you receive the wrong item, so that we can evaluate and resolve the issue.
Returns Process
To start a return, you can contact us at orders@chapteroneleather.ca. If your return request is accepted and approved, we’ll send you a return shipping label, as well as instructions on how to pack your package. Items sent back to us without first requesting a return will not be accepted.

All refunds are processed by ChapterOne Leather immediately upon approval back to the original method of payment.

- not used as the product was intended to
