Refund Policy

VapuerNoir Return, Exchange & Cancellation Policy

Effective Date: 1/1/26

Because many of our pieces are produced in limited quantities or created specifically for each customer, we maintain strict return and refund guidelines. Please review this policy carefully before placing an order.

By completing a purchase with VapuerNoir, you confirm that you have reviewed and agreed to all posted policies, including our Return, Exchange, Cancellation, Made-to-Order, Shipping, and Payment policies.

📦 Delivery Confirmation

Orders marked as “Delivered” by the shipping carrier are considered successfully fulfilled.

VapuerNoir is not responsible for theft, misdelivery, or loss after delivery confirmation unless shipping insurance was purchased and a claim is approved.

Shipping issues are governed by our Shipping Issues & Lost Package Policy.

⚖️ Chargebacks & Disputes

Customers agree to contact VapuerNoir directly to resolve any order concerns before initiating a chargeback or payment dispute.

Unauthorized or abusive chargebacks may result in:

  • Immediate cancellation of current orders
  • Permanent restriction from future purchases

If your order arrives damaged or incorrect, you must contact us within 48 hours of delivery with:

  • Your order number
  • Clear photos of the issue

Approved cases will be resolved with a replacement, repair, or store credit at our discretion.

🖤 Final Notes

  • VapuerNoir is a small, independent fashion studio, not a mass retailer
  • Our policies exist to protect both our customers and the sustainability of our business
  • Made-to-order and custom items are governed by their respective policies and are separate from ready-to-wear merchandise

By placing an order, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agreed to all posted VapuerNoir policies.
