Returns & Refunds Policy
 
We accept returns only for items that arrive damaged or defective. Because our pieces are either handcrafted using traditional Jaipuri printing techniques or made-to-order using 3D printing, minor variations are part of their character and are not considered defects.

1. When a Return Is Eligible
 
We will approve a return if:
• The product is physically damaged or broken on arrival.
• There is a clear manufacturing defect (not a natural variation).
• The issue is reported within 7 days of delivery with a valid unboxing video (see Section 2).
 
Not eligible for return:
• Change of mind or personal preference.
• Natural, minor variations typical of handcrafted items — including print alignment, colour depth, or block-print placement in Jaipuri block, dabu, and sanganeri textiles.
• Subtle surface nuances or layer lines in 3D-printed pieces — these are inherent to the process.
• Colour variation due to screen settings, monitor calibration, or photography lighting.
• Damage to outer packaging without damage to the product itself.

2. Unboxing Video (Mandatory for All Damage Claims)
 
Please record a clear, continuous, and unedited video before and while opening the parcel. The video must:
 
1. Show the unopened parcel from all sides and clearly display the shipping label.
2. Begin opening the parcel on camera — show every layer of packaging being removed.
3. Clearly show the product as it is taken out, and the damage or defect close-up.
4. Be continuous with no cuts, filters, or edits.
5. Be well-lit and in focus throughout.
 
Claims submitted without a valid unboxing video may be delayed or declined. We understand this may feel like an extra step — it protects both you and us from courier-related disputes.

4. Return Pickup & Packaging
 
• Where available, we will arrange a reverse pickup at no cost to you.
• If reverse pickup is not serviceable at your pin code, we will guide you on how to send the item back, and reimburse reasonable courier charges (up to a standard amount we will confirm at that time).
• The item must be returned in its original packaging with all accessories, tags, and the invoice included.
• Please pack it securely to prevent further damage in transit — we cannot accept returns that are damaged during return shipping due to poor packaging.

A Note on Our Products
 
Highmour makes two distinct kinds of products:
 
3D-Printed Pieces (Lamps, Vases, Tea Light Shades): Made-to-order using eco-friendly, plant-based filaments. Subtle layer lines, surface texture, and slight tonal differences between batches are normal and add to the handmade quality.
 
Jaipuri Printed Cotton Furnishings (Bedsheets, Dohar, Table Runners, Table Covers, Cushion Covers): Hand block-printed, dabu-dyed, or sanganeri-printed in small batches. Minor variations in print registration, colour depth, and repeat alignment are inherent to the hand-printing process and are not defects — they are proof of authenticity.
 
These characteristics are what make each piece one of a kind.
