Last Updated: 20 January 2026
At NOVUS, we are committed to delivering high‑quality electronic products and transparent customer support. This policy outlines our rules regarding returns, refunds, and warranty coverage.
1. No Refund Policy
NOVUS maintains a strict no‑refund policy.
Refunds are not permitted under any circumstances, including but not limited to:
- Change of mind
- Incorrect product selection
- Finding an alternative product or better price elsewhere

Customers are encouraged to review all product details carefully before completing their purchase.
2. Returns for Defective Products
While refunds are not available, NOVUS does accept returns for defective items under the following conditions:
- The product is dead on arrival (DOA) or exhibits a manufacturer defect within 7 days of purchase.
- The item is returned with its original packaging, including all accessories and components.
A NOVUS technician or authorised service partner confirms that the product is defective.
2.1 Return Shipping Costs
If the product meets the defective criteria, NOVUS will refund the customer’s delivery/return shipping cost.
If the product does not qualify as defective, return shipping is entirely at the customer’s own expense and will not be reimbursed.
Products that do not meet the defect criteria will not be accepted for return and will be sent back to the customer.
