CANCELLATION & RETURN AND EXCHANGE POLICY
CANCELLATION OF ORDERS POLICY
All payments, especially Bank Transfer/Deposit, must be settled within 48 hours once the order has been confirmed. Otherwise, Alba by Seiko Philippines reserves the right to cancel the transaction due to non-payment.
RETURN & REFUND POLICY
Pursuant to DTI’s Implementing Rules and Regulations of Republic Act 7349, otherwise known as the Consumer Act of the Philippines, consumers are entitled to either an exchange or refund, as long as there is a defect in the quality of goods or imperfection in the service, and such defect or imperfection is not corrected within 7 days from the time a notice thereof was given by the customer to Alba by Seiko Philippines.
Q: If after buying a certain item, a customer changes his/her mind and wants to return said item. Can he/she invoke the prohibition on “No Return, No Exchange”?
A: No, the prohibition is not an excuse for the consumer to return the goods because of a change of mind.
