If we see any signs of wear or damage we reserve the right to reject the return, and will send it back to you without issuing a store credit. All H+ clothing items purchased on sale are final and non-refundable.

All return shipping charges are the customer’s responsibility and we are not responsible for any damages or returns lost by the carrier of your choice. We recommend insuring your package for the full purchase amount, and using a carrier that allows you to track your package. Please package your item safely, preferably in the shipping carton it arrived in, using all original packaging materials. If necessary, add padding to ensure its safe return. Returns received in less than perfect condition are subject to a 20% restocking fee. Once we receive and approve your return, we will refund the original purchase price minus any shipping costs.
