Section 3 — Eligibility & Use of the Website

By using this website, you confirm that you are at least 18 years old and legally capable of entering into a binding agreement. You agree not to use the website or our services for any unlawful or unauthorized purpose.

Section 4 — Product Information & Medical Disclaimer

Lunova does not provide medical, audiological, or healthcare services. Our devices are intended to assist with mild to moderate hearing difficulty, as described on the relevant product pages. They are not intended to diagnose, treat, or manage medical conditions. We encourage customers to seek independent professional advice where appropriate.

Section 5 — Orders & Acceptance

All orders placed through the website are subject to acceptance and availability. We reserve the right to refuse, limit, or cancel any order at our discretion, including where we suspect misuse, resale activity, or inaccurate information.

Section 6 — Pricing & Promotions

Prices are displayed on the website and may change from time to time. Promotional offers or discounts may apply periodically; these are commercial incentives and do not affect the underlying nature of the product or the customer agreement.

Section 7 — Payment

Payment is processed securely at checkout using trusted third-party payment providers. By placing an order, you confirm that the payment information you provide is accurate and that you are authorized to use the payment method.

Section 8 — Shipping & Delivery

Products are shipped using tracked delivery services. Delivery timeframes shown on the website (typically 7–20 business days) are estimates only and not guaranteed. We are not responsible for delays caused by carriers or circumstances beyond our reasonable control. Full details are in our Shipping Policy.

Section 9 — Returns & Refund Policy

9.1 Hygiene & Used-Product Conditions

Because our devices are worn in or around the ear and involve hygiene, conditions apply to returns once an item has been opened or used. This includes hearing devices and any components that enter the ear canal, where resale would be inappropriate. Your statutory rights for genuinely faulty products are not affected and always apply.

9.2 45-Day Satisfaction Guarantee

In addition to your statutory rights, we offer a voluntary 45-day satisfaction guarantee for eligible purchases. This is a commercial guarantee, not a "no-questions-asked" refund, and is subject to reasonable conditions, including:

  • The device must be trialled in good faith, including correct fitting, proper use, and a fair adaptation period.
  • The device must be intended for mild to moderate hearing difficulty, as stated in the product listing. Use outside this scope is not covered.
  • The customer should engage with our support team during the 45-day period if difficulties arise, to allow troubleshooting and guidance.
  • Any approved return must include all original packaging and accessories, in re-sellable condition unless otherwise agreed.

9.3 Refund Amounts, Deductions & Costs

If a return is approved under the satisfaction guarantee, refunds may be partial or full depending on usage, condition, and resale potential. The following may apply:

  • Reasonable restocking or cleaning fees, in line with hygiene handling.
  • Return shipping costs, which are generally the customer's responsibility unless explicitly waived as a goodwill gesture.

9.4 Product Suitability Declaration

By placing an order, you confirm that you have hearing difficulty suitable for the products offered. Use outside the intended scope may void commercial guarantees, without affecting statutory rights relating to defective goods.

9.5 Grounds for Refusing a Return

We reserve the right to refuse a return or refund in cases including, but not limited to:

  • No fault is found and the product has been used contrary to the guidance or outside its intended use.
  • The product is returned late, without prior agreement, or damaged, incomplete, or in unsanitary condition.
  • The customer did not engage with our support team or refused reasonable troubleshooting steps.
  • A return is requested solely due to preference (for example, cosmetic or handling preference) after the product has been used.

We aim to treat all refund requests fairly, respectfully, and consistently.

9.6 Goodwill Exceptions

We may, at our sole discretion, offer goodwill-based partial refunds or resolutions even where legal or policy criteria are not met. These gestures are handled case by case and do not establish precedent.

9.7 How to Initiate a Return

To request a return, contact us at contact@getlunova.com with your order number and a brief explanation. We aim to respond within a few business days of receiving a complete return request. Full steps are in our Returns & Refunds Policy.

9.8 Cancellation After Dispatch & Refused Deliveries

Delivery timeframes are estimates only and not guaranteed. If you cancel after dispatch, or a delivery is refused or returned to us as undeliverable, we may deduct the actual outbound and return shipping costs we incurred, plus any reasonable reprocessing fee, from your refund.

Section 10 — Replacements & Support

If a product issue arises, we may arrange a replacement or alternative solution as part of our customer support process. Any replacement supplied is intended to resolve the original issue and does not constitute a new or separate purchase.

Section 11 — Chargebacks, Fraud & Abuse

We reserve the right to dispute chargebacks or refund claims that are inconsistent with order records, delivery confirmation, or customer communications. In cases of suspected fraud or abuse, we may restrict accounts, refuse service, or report incidents to relevant parties.

Section 12 — How Lunova Operates

Section 14 — Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Lunova shall not be liable for indirect or consequential losses arising from use of the website or products. Nothing in these Terms limits liability where such limitation is not permitted under applicable law.
