Return & Refund Policy
We strive to ensure that your order arrives in perfect condition and as expected. However, should you find any issue with your purchase from marouchocolate.com, our return and refund policies are as follows:
Reporting Issues
If your chocolates are damaged, melted, incorrectly shipped, or if you encounter any other problems, please reach out to us at care@marouchocolate.com within three (3) business days of delivery. We regret that we cannot accept returns or process refunds if this window is missed.
If your chocolate is broken but NOT melted or discolored, the bar is still considered to be in good condition for tasting and enjoying. There will be no refund possible. This can happen even though we try to take the utmost care, sorry for the inconvenience.
Required Proof
For any damaged items, please include photographic evidence in your email. This will assist us in determining the best way to resolve the issue. Please note that we can only compensate for damages up to the value of the product.
Exceptions to our Guarantee
The following situations fall outside our policy:
- Delivery to an incorrect or incomplete address as provided by the customer.
- Changes to the delivery address after the order has shipped which require package rerouting.
- The product has damaged/melted/discolored post-delivery.
- Delays during shipping that are outside of our control.
