If the product is returned, they will refund the purchase amount less any shipping and handling expenses. If the order is seized and/or destroyed by customs, they won’t be able to issue a refund. This raises great concern as most leading manufacturers offer a 100% 365-day guarantee, which raises the question of how effective this product really is.
