Unless specifically identified, all terms of use under this policy shall be applicable to all customers shopping with us. By placing an order with us or with an authorized reseller, you are deemed to have read and fully understood the terms of use contained herein.
With respect to any permitted cancellations or returns, you agree and understand that a failure by you to follow the applicable procedure described below may result in our having to reject a requested cancellation, return, exchange, or refund.
01. Cancellation of Orders Prior to Shipment
a. You may cancel your order and request a full refund of the Product at any time before shipment.
b. Order Cancellation Request Process. To cancel your order prior to the shipment of the Product, contact the keyvault support team at support@keyvault.info.

b. Return Request Process. To return a Product, contact the keyvault support team at support@keyvault.info to request a return merchandise authorization (RMA), which will include shipping instructions. All returns must be shipped in the original packaging, including all original accessories and packaging materials.

keyvault is not responsible for packages lost in transit without the RMA and/or proof of tracking.
c. Refunds or Replacements. Once we have received your returned item, we will inspect the item to confirm it is eligible for return.

Replacement items or refunds will be processed within ten (10) business days of receipt of the returned item.
d. Returns for Broken, Defective, or Missing Products. In the unlikely event a Product you ordered is broken, defective, or missing upon delivery to you, you can request to return a Product for refund or exchange, but, if we determined that the damages were caused by you (including your improper use, neglect, or accident), we reserve the right, in our sole and final discretion, to refuse a replacement or refund or to reduce the refund amount (proportionate to the Product’s decrease in value due to the damages you caused).
e. Ordinary Wear and Tear or Damages Caused by Your Improper Use or Accidents Not Covered. This Policy does not cover ordinary wear and tear or damage caused by improper use, neglect or accidents, subject to the terms of keyvault’s Limited Hardware Warranty. If you return an item that is in damaged condition, has signs of abuse, or is not in like-new condition, we reserve the right, all in our sole and final discretion, to refuse a replacement or refund or to reduce the refund amount (proportionate to the Product’s decrease in value due to the damages you caused).
03. Returns & Refund/Exchange Request After Product Has Shipped (Applicable to EU/UK): 30-Day Refund for Unopened and Unused Goods; Right of Withdrawal
The following is keyvault’s policy regarding the return of a Product after it has shipped. (See below for Products covered by our limited warranty.)
a. We offer a 30-day refund policy for an unopened and unused Product.
b. For EU/UK customers only, you need to exercise the extra “Right of Withdrawal” within 14 days of the delivery to you of the Product by sending an email to support@keyvault.info with the information set forth below in the separate section regarding Right of Withdrawal. You will then have 14 days from the date you notified keyvault as indicated below of your exercise of the Right of Withdrawal to return the Product.

For more detail, see section Right of Withdrawal.
c. For all customers (including EU/UK customers who have not exercised their Right of Withdrawal as discussed above and below), there is a 30-day refund period for any Product commencing from the delivery date if the Product returned to us is unused and in like-new condition. You must request your 30-day refund of the Product by sending an email to support@keyvault.info. Shipping costs of the Product are not eligible for refund, and you will also be responsible to pay the direct cost of returning the Product to us at a designated address. However, this 30-day refund policy does not apply to Products that reflect wear and tear or to any Product damaged or malfunctioning due to improper use. Depending on the condition of your returned Product, the amount of your refund may be reduced in proportion to the diminished value.
04. Right of Withdrawal (Applicable to EU/UK)
As set forth above, EU/UK customers have a “Right of Withdrawal.” The following is more detail concerning such Right of Withdrawal.
a. You have a Right of Withdrawal with respect to your order for any Product for a 14-day withdrawal period that begins on the delivery date.
b. To exercise the Right of Withdrawal, you must notify us of your decision to withdraw from your order by electronically filling out the Notice of Withdrawal Form and by emailing a copy to support@keyvault.info.
c. To meet the withdrawal deadline, you must exercise your Right of Withdrawal before the 14-day withdrawal period expires. Once you have timely notified us of your exercise of your Right of Withdrawal, you will then have 14 days from the date you notified us to return the Product.
d. If you have properly exercised your Right of Withdrawal as set forth in this Policy and have timely returned the Product to our designated address in the same condition as it was delivered to you, we will reimburse to you all payments that we have received from you, including the original shipping fee (with the exception of any upgrading shipping fees that have been selected by you) no later than 14 days from the day on which we were notified of your decision to withdraw from your order. We will process the reimbursement using the same means of payment used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise. We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the Product or until you have provided sufficient evidence of returning the Product to us, whichever is the earliest.
e. You will be responsible to pay the direct cost of return shipment of the Product to our designated address, including but not limited to shipping charges and custom duties and other types of levies, if any.
