Return Policy
At Innovative Mats, we want customers to feel confident when purchasing mats, flooring products, and surface solutions through innovativemats.com. We understand that selecting the right product for a particular space is an important decision, and occasionally a customer may determine that an item is not suitable for the intended project. This Return Policy explains the general principles that apply to product returns and provides guidance for customers who need to request a return.
Reviewing Your Order
Before placing an order, customers are encouraged to carefully review the product description, dimensions, materials, specifications, colors, intended applications, and other available information. Flooring and mat products can vary significantly in size, thickness, texture, construction, and intended use. Taking time to review these details can help customers select products that are appropriate for their particular needs.
Once an order has been received, customers should also review the items to confirm that the products correspond with their purchase. If there is an issue with an order, it is important to identify it promptly so that it can be reviewed under the applicable return procedures.
Eligibility for Returns
Return eligibility may depend on the type of product, its condition, and the circumstances surrounding the return request. Products generally need to be in an appropriate condition for evaluation and resale where applicable. Items that have been significantly used, altered, damaged, installed, cut, modified, or otherwise changed may not qualify for return.
Because mats and flooring products can be used in many different environments, customers should inspect their purchases before installation or modification. If a product appears to be incorrect, damaged, or unsuitable, customers should avoid cutting, installing, or altering the item until the situation has been reviewed.
Product Condition
Returned products should generally remain in their original condition. Customers should take reasonable care when inspecting products to avoid unnecessary damage or changes. Packaging should also be retained whenever possible until the customer has determined that the product is suitable for the intended application.
Certain flooring and matting products may be particularly difficult to return after they have been cut or installed. For this reason, customers should verify measurements and product specifications before making permanent changes to an item.
Damaged Products
If a product appears damaged when received, customers should inspect it carefully and document the condition when possible. Photographs of visible damage, product packaging, labels, and other relevant details may help with the review process.
Customers should retain the product and its packaging until instructions regarding the next steps have been provided. Damaged products should not be discarded or modified before the issue has been evaluated.
Incorrect Products
If an order contains an item that does not match the customer’s purchase, the issue should be reported for review. Customers should compare the received product with their order information and product description.
To help resolve an incorrect-item concern efficiently, customers should keep the original packaging, product labels, and relevant order information available. Avoid using or modifying an item that appears to have been sent incorrectly until the situation has been reviewed.
Unwanted or Unsuitable Products
We understand that customers may occasionally decide that a product is not the right fit for their project. Before requesting a return for this reason, customers should review the applicable product-specific return conditions.
The nature of flooring and matting products means that some items may have special return requirements. Factors such as product type, size, condition, customization, cutting, installation, or other modifications may affect eligibility.
Customized or Modified Products
Products that have been specially configured, customized, cut, altered, or modified may have different return eligibility from standard products. Once a product has been changed to meet a particular requirement, it may no longer be suitable for return.
Customers should therefore confirm dimensions, material, color, quantity, and other specifications before requesting customization or making modifications to a product.
Installed Products
Customers should carefully inspect products before installation. Once flooring or mats have been installed, used extensively, cut, adhered, or permanently modified, return eligibility may be affected.
Installation can also change the condition of a product and make it difficult to determine whether the item can be returned. For this reason, we recommend confirming that the product is correct and suitable before beginning installation.
Return Review Process
Return requests are reviewed according to the applicable product and order conditions. When requesting a return, customers may need to provide information such as the order details, product name, reason for the return, product condition, and other relevant information.
Providing complete and accurate information can help make the review process more efficient. Customers should wait for applicable return instructions before sending products back.
Packaging Returned Products
When a return is approved, customers should package the product carefully to help prevent damage during transportation. Whenever possible, the original packaging should be used if it remains suitable for protecting the product.
The returned item should be secured appropriately based on its size, shape, and material. Customers are responsible for following the applicable return instructions provided for the specific order.
Refunds and Credits
When an approved return has been received and evaluated, any applicable refund or credit will be handled according to the conditions associated with the order and product. The final outcome may depend on the reason for the return, product condition, and applicable return requirements.
Refund processing may require an evaluation of the returned merchandise before the applicable amount is determined. Customers should keep their order information and return documentation until the process has been completed.
Exchanges
Depending on product availability and applicable conditions, an exchange may or may not be available for a particular item. Customers who require a different size, style, material, or configuration should review the applicable options before requesting an exchange.
An exchange may be subject to the same eligibility requirements as a return, including product condition and whether the item has been used, installed, cut, customized, or modified.
Customer Responsibility
Customers play an important role in ensuring a successful return. Before purchasing, carefully review product specifications and measurements. After receiving an order, inspect the products promptly and keep packaging and documentation until you are satisfied with the purchase.
If a return is needed, customers should follow the applicable instructions and avoid altering the product while the request is being reviewed.
Policy Changes
Innovative Mats may update this Return Policy from time to time to reflect changes in products, business practices, or return procedures. The current version published on innovativemats.com will apply to purchases subject to the updated policy.
