Terms of Service: Fulfillment, Payments, and Privacy Policies

This section outlines the operational frameworks governing our order fulfillment, payment processing, customer protections, and data privacy policies. By completing a purchase on our platform, you explicitly agree to the terms, timelines, and conditions detailed below.

1. Payment Processing and Order Fulfillment Policy

Payment Security and Framework

All financial transactions on our platform are managed and processed securely using Stripe, a leading global payment service provider.

• Supported Payment Methods: We accept major credit cards, debit cards (including Visa, Mastercard, American Express, and Discover), and other region-specific digital payment methods dynamically supported via the Stripe checkout environment.

• Currency and Billing: All transactions are processed in USD ($) unless stated otherwise at checkout. Cardholder data is tokenized directly through Stripe; our servers never store or handle raw credit card numbers.

Operational Timelines Summary

• Order Processing Time: 1 to 3 business days (excludes weekends and gazetted public holidays).

• Standard Delivery Time: Within 5 business days, calculated from the exact date of carrier dispatch.

• Return Eligibility Window: Within 7 days, beginning from the documented carrier delivery date.

• Refund Processing Window: 5 to 7 business days, subject to a successful inbound product inspection.

• Support Response Turnaround: 1 to 2 business days for inquiries routed to our official support email.

• Expedited Service is Available: Contact us for more details.

Shipping, Logistics, and Delivery Structure

• All-Inclusive Pricing: All quoted prices are all-inclusive of standard shipping and delivery fees. There are no hidden logistics fees added during checkout.

• Tracking and Carrier Dispatch: Once an order is processed and if applicable, a tracking number tied to our logistical partner will be generated and emailed to you.

• Delayed or Lost Shipments: While standard delivery occurs within 5 business days, unforeseen carrier constraints can occur. If your shipment lags beyond this window or shows zero tracking movement, please reach out to our administration team. We will immediately interface with the shipping carrier to trace, accelerate, or declare the item lost and initiating an expedited replacement or refund as required.

Returns, Cancellations, and Refunds

Important Requirement: To maintain transaction integrity and prevent unauthorized returns, all inbound shipments must be accompanied by a validated Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) number.

1. Initiating a Return: Customers have a strict 7-day window from the confirmed date of delivery to request an exchange or full refund. To start this process, email accounts@aurorapolymer.com to receive your unique RMA number and specific return address instructions.

2. Product Quality Conditions: Items sent back must be completely unused, unaltered, undamaged, and retained within their original, unopened packaging. Returns failing these baseline standards will be rejected or assessed a restocking fee.

3. Refund Disbursal: Once the returned goods are received and inspected at our fulfillment depot, refunds are cleared within 5 to 7 business days. In compliance with global anti-money laundering (AML) guidelines and Stripe regulations, funds will only be returned to the original payment method used during checkout.

Dispute Resolution and Chargeback Framework

We prioritize constructive communication to resolve customer dissatisfaction.

• Pre-Dispute Resolution: In the event of a billing error, fulfillment mistake, or service mismatch, we request that you contact our customer support team prior to initiating a formal chargeback with your banking institution.

• Evidence Submission: If a formal dispute or chargeback is filed, we work systematically with Stripe to present comprehensive transaction logs, proof of delivery, and communication histories. We strictly adhere to the dispute resolution pathways, evidence requirements, and timelines established by Stripe and global card networks (Visa, Mastercard, Amex).

2. Comprehensive Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy describes how our company collects, uses, processes, and protects your personal data when you visit our website, utilize our services, or make a purchase.

Data Sharing and Third-Party Processors

Data Security and Storage Standards

We implement rigorous technical and administrative safeguards to keep your personal data secure:

• PCI DSS Compliance: We maintain compliance with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS). By leveraging Stripe’s hosted tokenization frameworks, we minimize cardholder data environments on our end, safeguarding you from database leaks.

• Encryption Standards: All information transmitted across our web environment is encrypted utilizing Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) / Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocols. Data stored on our servers is protected using multi-factor access controls and modern encryption methodologies.

Your Privacy Rights and Choices

Depending on your geographical jurisdiction, you possess specific legal protections over your data, which may include:

• The Right to Access/Portability: You can request copies of the data we hold regarding your transactions and identity profile.

• The Right to Rectification: You can request that we update or modify incorrect contact or shipping information.

• The Right to Erasure ("Right to be Forgotten"): You can request that we delete your personal details, subject to outstanding regulatory, legal, or chargeback-liability retention windows.

To exercise any of these protections, please contact our administration office directly.
