In accordance with mandatory consumer legislation across Europe and statutory consumer guidelines in the United States, customers maintain a 14-day Right of Withdrawal:

Initiating a Return: To exercise your right to cancel, you must submit an explicit written notice to our support team at gloves@apexheatmat.com prior to returning any product.
3. Return Instructions & Facility Authorization
To ensure smooth processing and tracking of returned merchandise:

Condition of Items: Returned items must be unused, unaltered, and packaged in their original product packaging.
-
