Refund policy

Returns are subject to the following conditions:

Items must be returned in the condition in which they were received, within 30 days of receipt (excluding earrings, see below) with the full and original packaging.
We cannot accept returns of items that have been damaged through misuse, accident, or normal wear and tear.
For hygiene reasons, earrings must be returned within 14 days in unworn condition. Where it is clear that an earring has been worn, a refund/exchange cannot be issued.
Custom made items, including alterations and engravings, are not returnable unless faulty upon receipt.
Shipping costs are not refunded.
Return shipping costs are not covered unless in the rare instance that you have received the wrong item. In that case we will cover the cost of your return postage using Royal Mail 2nd class recorded delivery in the UK. Overseas shipping varies.
We cannot accept responsibility for any items lost or stolen during return postage. We recommend you always use a recorded or tracked service and consider purchasing insurance when returning items to us through the post.
In cases where the postal service has returned an item to us because the customer has provided incorrect shipping information, or has been unable to accept delivery of the item for whatever reason, then any fees incurred by us from the postal service for the return to sender will be deducted from any refunded payment to the customer. If no request for a refund is made within 14 days of us being notified that the parcel is undeliverable, then this shall be considered an abandoned purchase and no refund shall be given.
We offer one exchange per item.
If the value of your exchange is different to the value of your original order, then the difference will either be charged or refunded accordingly.

Overseas Returns:

The same conditions as above also apply to returns/exchanges made from overseas.
In addition, overseas customers should be aware that they may need to pay import tax on their purchase. Côté Caché is not responsible for import tax or duty applied to an order. In the event that a parcel is returned to us because of failure to pay import fees, then any cost incurred by us from either the courier service and/or customs will be deductible from the value of your refund/exchange up to and including the full value of the item. Where these charges exceed the value of the item we reserve the right to attempt to recover these costs from the customer. If an item is abandoned by customs due to non-payment, then the item will be considered an abandoned purchase and no refund or exchange will be given.

Proof of purchase:
Customers without an order number should provide a receipt when requesting a refund or exchange. Customers without a receipt may provide proof of purchase via bank statement or proof of transaction where the vendor is clearly stated.
