Refund policy

Return & Refund Policy
Effective Date: September 2026
At Edible Ink Store, customer satisfaction is important to us. We carefully inspect products
before shipment and make every reasonable effort to ensure your order arrives in excellent
condition.
Because many of our products are edible, consumable, custom-made, or specially configured,
different return rules apply depending on the type of product. Please review the policy below
before making a purchase.

1. Damaged, Defective, or Leaking Products
If your order arrives damaged, cracked, leaking, or otherwise defective, please contact us
within 30 days of the purchase date.
Before returning any product, please contact our customer service team at XXX-XXX-XXXX or
email support@edibleinkstore.com to obtain a Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA), if
required.
To help us evaluate the issue, we may request photographs or videos of the damaged product
and packaging.
Depending on the situation, we may:
 Provide troubleshooting assistance
 Send a replacement at no additional product or shipping cost
 Offer another appropriate resolution
Important: Temperature-Sensitive Edible Products
Edible papers, frosting sheets, chocolate transfer sheets, and similar products can be sensitive
to heat, cold, humidity, and shipping conditions.
During extreme weather conditions, we may recommend additional heat or cooling protection
or expedited shipping. Customers are responsible for selecting recommended temperature-
protection options when offered at checkout.
If recommended temperature-controlled packaging or shipping is declined, Edible Ink Store may
not be responsible for weather-related damage or changes that occur during transit.

2. Edible Products
Due to the consumable nature of these products and food-safety considerations, edible
products generally cannot be returned or resold once shipped/opened/used.
Edible products include, but are not limited to:
 Edible ink
 Edible ink cartridges
 Edible frosting sheets
 Wafer sheets
 Chocolate transfer sheets
 Edible decorations
 Other products intended to be consumed or applied directly to food
If an edible product arrives damaged, defective, leaking, or otherwise unusable, please contact
us within 30 days so we can evaluate the issue and, where appropriate, provide a replacement
or other resolution.
Opened or Used Edible Products
We cannot accept returns of opened or used edible ink, edible cartridges, edible sheets, or
other consumable edible products unless the product is determined to be defective.
Because these products are consumable and cannot be resold once opened or used, change-of-
mind returns are not accepted for opened or used edible products.

3. Unopened & Unused Products
For eligible non-edible products, returns may be accepted when the item is:
 Unopened
 Unused
 In its original packaging
 In resalable condition
 Returned within the applicable return period

Customer Ordered the Wrong Product
If you ordered the wrong product and the item is eligible for return:
Exchange:
You may request an exchange within 30 days of purchase. The product must be unopened and
unused. Return shipping is the customer's responsibility, and applicable shipping charges may
apply to the replacement shipment.
Refund:
If you prefer a refund rather than an exchange, the eligible unopened product must be returned
within 30 days. A 15% restocking fee will apply. Original shipping charges are non-refundable,
and any free shipping cost provided with the original order may be deducted from the refund.

4. Store Credit

of the purchase date.
For eligible unopened products, we will:
 Provide instructions for returning the incorrect item
 Cover the applicable return shipping cost
 Ship the correct replacement product at no additional shipping cost
Please contact us before returning an incorrect item so we can provide the appropriate return
instructions.

6. Non-Edible Products

original resalable condition.

the store credit is used.

7. Custom & Personalized Orders
Custom-made and custom-printed products are non-returnable and non-refundable.
Once production has started, custom orders cannot be canceled because these products are
prepared specifically for the customer.
This includes, but is not limited to:
 Custom printed frosting sheets
 Custom printed edible products
 Personalized edible decorations
 Other specially produced or customized products

Please carefully review your artwork, specifications, quantities, and other order details before
approving a custom order.

8. Edible Printers & Equipment
Edible printers, direct-to-food printers, and other equipment are generally built, configured, or
specially prepared for their intended application.
Equipment Sales Are Final
Unless otherwise required by applicable law or specifically stated in writing, equipment
purchases are final and are not eligible for return or refund due to change of mind, ordering
the wrong model, or dissatisfaction with the product after purchase.
Before purchasing an edible printer or equipment, we strongly recommend contacting our
team if you need help selecting the appropriate model.
Warranty & Technical Support
Eligible equipment is covered by the manufacturer's applicable warranty stated on the product
listing, invoice, warranty documentation, or accompanying materials.
Warranty coverage applies to qualifying defects in materials and workmanship and does not
constitute a general return or money-back guarantee.
Our technical support team will make every reasonable effort to troubleshoot equipment
problems before determining whether a warranty repair, replacement, or other remedy is
appropriate.
We may request:
 Photos
 Videos
 Test prints
 Error messages
 Printer diagnostics
 Other information necessary to identify the problem
If troubleshooting cannot resolve the issue, we may request that a specific component, such as
a printhead, be returned for inspection or service where applicable.

Printer Color & Print-Quality Issues
Variations in color, banding, missing colors, nozzle clogs, or print-quality issues do not
automatically qualify a printer for replacement or refund.
Edible printing uses specialized food-safe inks that can behave differently from conventional
inkjet inks. Print quality can be affected by:
 Printer usage frequency
 Ink condition
 Temperature and humidity
 Printhead condition
 Ink flow
 Printer maintenance
 Paper type
 Printer settings
Our technical support team can assist with troubleshooting and maintenance procedures.

9. Printer Maintenance
To help maintain optimal printer performance, we recommend:
1. Do not leave edible ink cartridges installed in an unused printer for extended periods.
2. If the printer will not be used for approximately 10 days or longer, follow the
manufacturer's recommended storage procedure.
3. Use cleaning cartridges when the printer will remain idle for an extended period, where
applicable.
4. Perform appropriate printhead/cleaning procedures before returning a stored printer to
regular use.
5. Print periodic test pages according to the printer manufacturer's recommendations.
6. Follow all maintenance, storage, and cleaning instructions supplied with your printer.
Failure to properly maintain or store an edible printer may result in clogging or print-quality
problems and may affect applicable warranty coverage.

10. Use of Third-Party Edible Ink
Where a printer is sold as a system designed to work with a specific brand or type of edible ink,
customers should follow the manufacturer's recommended ink specifications.
Using third-party ink, refilling cartridges with incompatible ink, or using non-approved
consumables may affect printer performance and may void applicable warranty coverage
where the manufacturer determines that the third-party product caused or contributed to
the problem.
We strongly recommend using compatible, food-safe edible inks and consumables intended for
your specific printer model.

11. Missing Items
If an item is missing from your shipment, please notify us within 30 days of delivery.
After verifying the shipment, we will arrange for the missing item to be shipped as soon as
reasonably possible.

12. Exchanges
Eligible unopened and unused non-edible products may be exchanged within 30 days of
purchase, subject to product availability and the terms of this policy.
If the exchange is required because we shipped the wrong item, we will cover applicable
shipping costs.
If the customer ordered the wrong item, the customer is responsible for return shipping and
applicable shipping charges for the replacement item.
Edible, opened, used, custom, and non-returnable products are excluded from this exchange
policy.

13. Refunds
Eligible refunds are generally processed after the returned product has been received and
inspected.

For eligible unopened and unused non-edible products:
 Refund requests must generally be made within 30 days of the shipping date.
 A 15% restocking fee may apply.
 Original shipping charges are non-refundable.
 Free shipping costs may be deducted from the refund where applicable.
Refunds are issued to the original payment method whenever possible.
Processing times after a refund is issued may vary depending on the customer's bank, credit-
card issuer, or payment provider.

14. Order Cancellations & Changes
Cancellation, product-change, quantity-change, or shipping-address correction requests should
be submitted before 11:00 AM Pacific Time on the day the order is placed whenever possible.
We will make every reasonable effort to accommodate requests, but we cannot guarantee
changes or cancellations once an order has entered processing, production, or shipment.
Custom Orders
Custom orders cannot be canceled once production has started.
Equipment Orders
Equipment orders may be built or prepared specifically for the customer. Once preparation,
configuration, or production has begun, cancellation may not be possible.
If a cancellation is approved after equipment preparation or production has commenced, a 15%
restocking or cancellation fee may apply.

15. Undelivered or Missing Packages
If tracking indicates that a package was not delivered, please contact us as soon as possible and
preferably within 15 days of the expected delivery date.
Carrier claims are subject to the individual carrier's claim deadlines. We may be unable to file or
pursue a carrier claim after the applicable carrier deadline, which can vary by carrier and
service.

If tracking shows that a package was delivered, but you cannot locate it, please first check with
household members, neighbors, building management, and the carrier for additional delivery
information. We may request that the customer contact the carrier or provide a carrier
case/reference number so we can investigate further.
A carrier-confirmed delivery does not automatically qualify an order for a refund.

16. Late Deliveries
We work with our shipping partners to provide reliable delivery services; however, carrier
delivery dates are generally estimated and are not guaranteed unless a guaranteed service is
specifically purchased and applicable terms are met.
Delays may occur due to:
 Weather
 Carrier disruptions
 Holidays and peak shipping periods
 Customs
 Incorrect addresses
 Natural disasters
 Other circumstances outside our control
A shipment arriving later than the estimated delivery date does not automatically qualify the
customer for a product refund.
For complete information regarding delivery times and shipping services, please refer to our
Shipping Policy.

17. Return Authorization
Please do not send merchandise back without contacting us first.
When an RMA is required, customers must obtain an RMA number and return instructions
before shipping the product back.
Unauthorized returns may result in processing delays or may be returned to the sender.

Products must be securely packaged to prevent damage during return shipment.

18. Important Product-Safety & Handling Notice
Edible Ink Store carefully inspects products before shipment. However, edible papers, inks,
chocolate transfer sheets, and other food-related products can be sensitive to environmental
conditions.
Customers are responsible for following the product's recommended:
 Storage conditions
 Temperature requirements
 Handling instructions
 Usage instructions
 Printer maintenance procedures
Please contact us before ordering if you have questions about whether a particular product is
suitable for your application or environmental conditions.
