Return & Refund Policy

Effective Date: 18 August 2026
Last Updated: 15 September 2026

At LITHOS, we are committed to providing customers with genuine and quality products sourced through verified importers and reputable supply channels.

Because our products include consumable health and nutritional supplements, we follow the return and refund conditions below to maintain product safety, hygiene, and quality.

1. When a Return or Replacement May Be Accepted

A return, replacement, or refund may be considered where:

  • The wrong product was delivered.
  • The product arrived damaged.
  • The package was visibly tampered with during delivery.
  • The product received is defective.
  • The product is materially different from the product ordered.
  • The product is expired at the time of delivery.
  • The product has another issue that makes it unsuitable for use and is attributable to LITHOS or the relevant supply chain.

All claims are subject to verification.

2. Products Generally Not Eligible for Return

Due to the consumable nature of supplements, we generally do not accept returns for:

  • Products that have been opened.
  • Products with broken, removed, or damaged safety seals caused after delivery.
  • Products that have been used or partially consumed.
  • Products damaged due to improper storage or handling after delivery.
  • Products returned without their original packaging where the packaging is required for verification.
  • Products purchased incorrectly due to customer error.
  • Change-of-mind requests or dislike of the taste, flavour, texture, or personal experience with a product.

This policy does not limit any rights or remedies available to customers under applicable law.

3. Wrong Product

If you receive a product different from the one ordered, please contact us as soon as reasonably possible.

After verification, LITHOS may arrange:

  • Replacement with the correct product; or
  • A refund where replacement is not reasonably possible.

4. Damaged or Tampered Products

If your package arrives damaged or appears to have been opened or tampered with, please contact LITHOS promptly.

Customers should provide:

  • Order number
  • Photographs of the outer packaging
  • Photographs of the shipping label
  • Photographs of the product
  • Photographs of the seal or packaging
  • Unboxing video, if available

An unboxing video can help us investigate delivery-related claims, although its absence does not automatically prevent a claim where applicable consumer rights apply.

5. Expired or Short-Dated Products

Products supplied by LITHOS should be within their stated expiry period at the time of delivery.

If you believe that you have received an expired product or a product that materially differs from the expiry information represented at the time of purchase, contact us with photographs of the product, batch/lot number, and expiry date.

We will investigate the matter and, where appropriate, provide a replacement or refund.

6. Return Approval

Customers should not send products back without receiving return instructions from LITHOS.

Once a return request is received, we may review:

  • Order details
  • Product condition
  • Packaging and seal condition
  • Batch/lot information
  • Photographs or videos
  • Delivery information
  • Other relevant evidence

If the return is approved, we will provide the necessary return instructions.

7. Refunds

Where a refund is approved, it will generally be processed through the original payment method or another appropriate payment method permitted by applicable law.

The time taken for the refund to appear in the customer's account may depend on the payment gateway, bank, or financial institution.

8. Replacement

Where appropriate and subject to availability, LITHOS may offer a replacement instead of a refund.

If the same product is unavailable, LITHOS may offer an alternative resolution, including an eligible refund.

9. Return Shipping

Where the issue is attributable to LITHOS, such as an incorrect product being supplied or a product arriving damaged, LITHOS may arrange or reimburse reasonable return shipping costs, subject to verification.

For returns that are not attributable to LITHOS, return shipping costs may be borne by the customer, subject to applicable law.

10. Order Cancellation

Cancellation requests should be made as soon as possible after placing an order.

If the order has not yet been processed or dispatched, LITHOS may be able to cancel it and process an eligible refund.

Once an order has been dispatched, cancellation may no longer be possible and the customer may need to follow the applicable return procedure.

11. Refund Processing Time

Once a refund has been approved, LITHOS will initiate the refund within a reasonable period.

The actual time required for the funds to reach the customer's account depends on the payment gateway, bank, or financial institution.

12. Manufacturer or Importer Issues

LITHOS is a retailer/reseller and does not manufacture the products sold unless specifically stated.

Where an issue relates to a manufacturer's formulation, packaging, labeling, or manufacturing defect, LITHOS may coordinate with the relevant importer, distributor, or manufacturer to investigate and resolve the matter.

Nothing in this policy is intended to remove or restrict any rights available to customers under applicable law.
