Refund and Return Policy

**Return and Refund Policy**

At Grown Vegan Apothecary, we stand behind the quality of our products and aim to provide our customers with a seamless shopping experience. If for any reason you are not satisfied with your purchase, we offer a straightforward return and refund policy to ensure your peace of mind.

**Returns:**
We accept returns on products purchased directly from our online store (www.grownveganapothecary.com) within 30 days of the original purchase date. To be eligible for a return, the item must be unused, in its original packaging, and in the same condition as when you received it. Please include a copy of your order confirmation or proof of purchase with your return.

**Refunds:**
Upon receiving your returned item, we will inspect it to ensure that it meets the return criteria outlined above. Once approved, we will initiate a refund to your original method of payment. Please note that shipping costs are non-refundable, and the customer is responsible for return shipping expenses unless the return is due to a mistake on our part or a defective product.

**Exchanges:**
Unfortunately, we do not offer exchanges at this time. If you wish to exchange a product, we recommend returning the item for a refund and placing a new order for the desired item through our online store.

**Damaged or Defective Items:**
In the rare event that you receive a damaged or defective item, please contact us immediately at [contact@email.com] with your order number and a description of the issue. We will work with you to promptly resolve the situation by providing a replacement or issuing a refund, as applicable.
