Furls' Defective Product and Breakage Policies
At Furls Crochet, we are committed to providing our customers with the highest-quality crochet tools and accessories. However, if you receive a product that is defective or does not meet our quality standards, we are here to help.
DEFINITION OF A DEFECT
A defective product is considered flawed or faulty due to manufacturing errors, materials, or craftsmanship. This does not include aesthetic preferences, normal wear and tear, accidental damage from handling, or issues arising from improper use or care.
To ensure your hook performs at its best, we recommend safely storing it when not in use and handling it carefully during crocheting sessions. Should your hook break under circumstances beyond your control, our breakage policy provides a seamless solution.
COVERAGE PERIOD
Effective 09/05/2023: for three (3) years from purchase date.
PROOF OF BREAKAGE
To qualify for our Breakage Policy, you must have purchased the product from the Furls Crochet website and provide photo or video evidence of the broken product with the logo showing.
If you purchased the product from one of our Authorized Furls Retailers, you must contact the Retailer for a replacement hook.
This policy does not cover products that have been altered or purchased second-hand.
Please see our list of Furls Authorized Retailers.
To begin the replacement process, please email support@furlscrochet.com with the subject line: BROKEN HOOK Order US-XXXXXX or DEFECTIVE PRODUCT Order US-XXXXXX.
Please provide the following information in your email:
- First and last name on the original order
- The order number (don’t worry; we can look it up if you don’t have it)
- A picture or video of the product (showing the size stamp where possible)
- Which product was affected (product name and size)
- Please provide details on how the hook broke, or details describing the defect. For example, if your hook broke during use, please let us know which yarn weight you were using.
Our Customer Experience team will assess your claim and respond within 3 business days.
Upon verifying the claim, we will replace the item with a new one. If the same item is unavailable, we will offer a full refund within 90 days of purchase or store credit within three years of purchase.
This policy only covers the initial purchase price of the individual item. Shipping, international duties, or customs-related taxes incurred during the initial purchase cannot be reimbursed.
Furls Crochet reserves the right to update or modify these policies without prior notice.
The version of the policy that will apply to your order will be the one on our site when you place your order.
FURLS' DISCOUNT POLICY
When purchasing discounted items from Furls, please be aware of the following terms and conditions regarding our discount policy:
- Availability
All promotional discounts are available while supplies last. We can not guarantee the availability of items during the promotional period.
- Usage Restrictions
Each promotional coupon code can be used once per transaction. Coupon codes may not be combined with any other offer or promotion unless otherwise specified and may not be extended past the specified end date unless otherwise stated.
- Local Currency
For our international customers, please note that percentage discounts shown on your screen or in your order confirmation may slightly differ from the advertised discounts. This variation can occur due to fluctuations in exchange rates. Our website's pricing and discounts are based in USD (United States Dollar). When converted to your local currency at purchase, the prevailing exchange rate may lead to minor discrepancies in the final discount percentage.
- Specific Conditions
For specific promotions, customers must meet the set conditions, i.e., adding the required number of items to the cart, before either applying the discount code at checkout or having the discount applied automatically.
- Prior Purchases
Discounts cannot be applied retroactively to previously purchased merchandise. If you've placed an order before a discount was announced, we cannot apply the discount to your earlier order. Additionally, we cannot apply the discount to future purchases.
- Stacked Discounts
Only one discount can be applied per item. If an item is already on sale or has a marked-down price, no additional discounts, promotions, or offers can be used for that specific item.
- Right to Modify or Cancel
Furls can adjust or discontinue promotions whenever necessary without prior notification. Should any disagreement arise, the resolution reached by Furls Crochet will be considered as the conclusive and binding outcome.
- Other Restrictions
Other terms and conditions may apply to specific promotions. Customers are encouraged to read the promotion details carefully.
By using our website and partaking in our promotions, customers agree to the terms outlined above. If you have any questions about our discount policy, please get in touch with our Customer Experience team for assistance.
