Returns & Damages Policy
Returns & Damages Policy
Effective Date: August 24, 2026
Solvane Home is owned and operated by Solvane Holdings LLC. We are committed to providing clear and transparent return procedures for every customer.
This policy explains our requirements for returns, restocking fees, damaged merchandise, defective products, incorrect shipments, missing items, and exchanges.
1. Return Window
Eligible products may be returned within 30 calendar days of delivery.
The 30-day return period begins on the date the order is delivered to the customer, as shown by the applicable carrier's delivery confirmation.
To be eligible for a standard return, merchandise must:
-
Be unused
-
Be uninstalled
-
Be undamaged
-
Be in resalable condition
-
Be returned in its original manufacturer packaging
-
Include all original parts, accessories, manuals, documentation, and packaging materials
-
Have a return request initiated within 30 days of delivery
All returns require prior authorization from Solvane Home.
To request a return, contact:
Email: support@solvanehome.com
Phone: 803-931-4778
Customer Service Hours: Monday-Friday, 9:00 AM-5:00 PM Eastern Time
Please provide your order number, product information, reason for the return, and photographs when requested.
2. Restocking Fee
Eligible customer-initiated returns are subject to a 25% restocking fee, calculated from the purchase price of the returned merchandise.
The restocking fee applies to approved returns resulting from circumstances such as:
-
Customer preference or change of mind
-
Ordering the wrong model, size, finish, fuel type, voltage, or configuration
-
A product not fitting the intended location because measurements were not properly verified before purchase
-
A customer choosing not to keep otherwise correct, undamaged merchandise
-
Other voluntary returns not resulting from an error by Solvane Home, the manufacturer, distributor, or shipping carrier
The 25% restocking fee will not apply when the return is approved because:
-
Solvane Home shipped the incorrect product
-
The product was materially different from what was ordered
-
The product arrived with verified shipping damage reported within the required reporting period
-
The product is verified as defective upon delivery and a return is authorized as the appropriate resolution
-
Solvane Home otherwise confirms in writing that the restocking fee is waived
Any applicable restocking fee will be deducted from the customer's refund.
3. Return Shipping Costs
For customer-initiated returns, the customer is responsible for all return shipping or freight costs.
Return shipping costs are separate from the 25% restocking fee.
When a qualifying return results from an incorrect shipment, verified shipping damage, qualifying defect, or another error for which Solvane Home is responsible, Solvane Home will arrange or cover applicable return transportation as appropriate.
Customers must follow the return shipping instructions provided by Solvane Home.
Unauthorized shipping expenses will not be reimbursed unless approved by Solvane Home in advance.
4. Return Authorization
Do not return merchandise without first receiving authorization from Solvane Home.
After a return request is approved, Solvane Home will provide return instructions and, when applicable, a Return Authorization number.
Products returned without authorization may be refused.
The customer must return the merchandise to the location specified by Solvane Home. The return destination may differ from the original shipping origin because products may be fulfilled by different authorized manufacturers or distribution partners.
5. Non-Returnable Merchandise
The following products are not eligible for standard return unless required by applicable law or otherwise approved by Solvane Home:
-
Installed products
-
Used or operated products
-
Products that have been connected to electricity, gas, water, plumbing, or ventilation systems
-
Products damaged after delivery
-
Products without original packaging
-
Products missing parts, accessories, manuals, or documentation
-
Custom-made or specially configured products
-
Special-order products identified as non-returnable before purchase
-
Clearance or final-sale merchandise identified as such before purchase
-
Products modified or altered after delivery
-
Products damaged while being moved or installed after delivery
If you are uncertain whether a product is returnable, contact Solvane Home before placing your order.
6. Appliance Measurements and Installation Requirements
Customers are responsible for verifying that products will fit their intended location and satisfy all applicable installation requirements before ordering.
Customers should verify:
-
Product dimensions

Cabinet openings

-
Stairways
-
Elevators
-
Installation clearances
-

A product that does not fit because of incorrect customer measurements or site conditions is considered a customer-initiated return and, if otherwise eligible for return, will be subject to the applicable 25% restocking fee and return shipping costs.
Solvane Home can provide manufacturer specifications before purchase upon request.
7. Inspecting Your Delivery
Customers should inspect all shipments as soon as they are delivered.
Before signing for freight delivery whenever reasonably possible:
-

Check for punctures, crushing, tears, dents, water damage, or other visible damage

The appropriate resolution will depend on the nature and extent of the damage.

Customers should retain all original packaging and submit photographs documenting the merchandise and packaging.
Solvane Home will work with the applicable manufacturer, distributor, or carrier to determine an appropriate resolution.
10. Incorrect Products

Please provide:
-
Order number
-
Product model
-
Description of the missing item
-
Photographs of the merchandise and packaging when requested
Solvane Home will investigate the claim and arrange an appropriate resolution for verified missing items.
12. Defective Products
If a product appears to have a manufacturing defect upon arrival, contact Solvane Home within 7 calendar days of delivery.
Depending on the product and manufacturer's requirements, troubleshooting or diagnosis by an authorized service provider may be required before replacement or return authorization can be issued.
For verified qualifying defects, the resolution may include:
-
Troubleshooting
-
Replacement parts
-
Manufacturer-authorized service
-
Product replacement
-
Exchange
-
Authorized return and refund
When an authorized return is approved due to a verified qualifying defect, the 25% restocking fee will not apply.
Defects discovered after the initial 7-day reporting period may be handled under the applicable manufacturer's warranty.
13. Manufacturer Warranty
Many products sold by Solvane Home include a manufacturer's warranty.
Warranty terms, duration, exclusions, and service procedures are established by the applicable manufacturer.
Warranty coverage may be affected by:
-
Improper installation
-
Unauthorized repairs or modifications
-
Improper electrical connections
-
Improper gas connections
-
Improper plumbing
-
Improper ventilation
-
Misuse or abuse

Damage occurring after delivery

Use inconsistent with manufacturer specifications
Manufacturer warranty claims are governed by the applicable manufacturer's warranty terms.
Solvane Home will provide reasonable assistance coordinating warranty service when requested.
14. Exchanges
Eligible exchanges are subject to the same return eligibility requirements described in this policy.
If an exchange results from customer preference rather than an error, defect, or shipping damage, the original returned merchandise may be subject to the 25% restocking fee and applicable return transportation costs.
Additional payment may be required if the replacement product costs more than the original product.
15. Refused Deliveries
Customers should not refuse an otherwise correct and undamaged shipment because of a change of mind.
An unauthorized refusal of delivery may be treated as a customer-initiated return and may be subject to:
-
The 25% restocking fee
-
Return freight charges
-
Other actual transportation costs resulting from the refusal
If merchandise arrives with significant visible damage, contact Solvane Home as soon as possible for instructions.
16. Refunds for Approved Returns
Once an authorized return is received and inspected, Solvane Home will determine whether it meets the applicable return requirements.
Approved refunds will be processed within 14 calendar days after Solvane Home or the designated return facility receives the returned merchandise.
For customer-initiated returns, the refund amount will generally equal:
Purchase price of eligible returned merchandise
minus the 25% restocking fee
minus any applicable return shipping or freight charges owed by the customer.
Original shipping charges, expedited shipping charges, delivery-service charges, installation charges, and other services that have already been performed are non-refundable unless the return results from an error by Solvane Home or otherwise required by law.
Approved refunds are issued to the original payment method whenever possible.
The customer's financial institution may require additional processing time before the refund appears in the customer's account.
