Installation and Electrical Products
Some Creative Light products may require assembly, mounting, electrical installation, or professional assistance.
Customers are responsible for reviewing the product specifications and confirming compatibility before ordering and installation.
Electrical products should be installed by a qualified professional when appropriate. Creative Light is not responsible for damage caused by:
- Incorrect installation;
- Improper wiring;
- Incompatible voltage;
- Unauthorized repairs or modifications;

Return Authorization
All returns require approval from our customer support team.
To request a return, email lightingcreative@support.com with your order number and reason for the return.
If your return is approved, we will provide the necessary return instructions.
The return must be shipped only to the address provided by our support team. Do not send returns to an address found on the shipping package, as it may belong to a fulfillment facility that cannot process customer returns.
Return Shipping Costs
Customers are responsible for return shipping costs when returning an item because of:
- A change of mind;
- An incorrect product selection;
- A compatibility issue;
- An incorrect size, color, style, or quantity selected during checkout;
- A duplicate order placed by the customer.
Creative Light will cover reasonable return or replacement shipping costs when we confirm that the product arrived damaged, defective, or incorrect.
Original shipping charges, priority processing fees, shipping protection fees, handling fees, installation costs, and customs charges are non-refundable unless required by applicable law.
We recommend using a trackable and insured shipping service. Creative Light is not responsible for returns that are lost, delayed, damaged, or delivered to an incorrect address during return transportation.
Return Inspection
All returned products are inspected before a refund is approved.
A returned product may be rejected or subject to a deduction if it:
- Has been installed, used, assembled, or modified;
- Is damaged or incomplete;
- Is missing original packaging or accessories;
- Shows signs of wear, misuse, or improper handling;
- Does not match the product originally shipped;
- Was returned without authorization;
- Was returned outside the approved return period.
Receiving a returned package does not automatically guarantee approval of a refund.
Refunds
Once your return has been received and inspected, we will notify you of the outcome.
Approved refunds will be issued to the original payment method used at checkout.
After a refund has been processed, it may take 5 to 10 business days to appear on your account, depending on your bank, card issuer, or payment provider.
Creative Light does not control processing times imposed by financial institutions.
Partial Refunds
A partial refund may be issued when an approved returned item:
- Has damaged or missing packaging;
- Is missing accessories, manuals, cables, or components;
- Requires cleaning, repackaging, or restoration;
- Has decreased in value due to customer handling.
The amount deducted will depend on the condition of the returned product.
Exchanges
We do not guarantee direct exchanges.
When an exchange is approved, it will depend on product availability. If the requested product is unavailable, we may offer a replacement of similar value, store credit, or a refund.
Customers may be responsible for price differences and additional shipping costs when exchanging a product for a different model, size, color, or style.
Order Cancellations
Cancellation requests should be submitted as soon as possible to lightingcreative@support.com.
We cannot guarantee cancellation once an order has entered processing, fulfillment, or shipment.
If the order has already been shipped, the customer must wait for delivery and follow the return procedure described in this policy.
Incorrect or Incomplete Address
Customers are responsible for providing a complete and accurate shipping address during checkout.
Creative Light is not responsible for delays, failed deliveries, returned packages, or lost orders caused by:
- An incorrect or incomplete address;
- A missing apartment, suite, building, or unit number;
- An incorrect postal code;
- Failure to collect the package;
- Refusal of delivery;
- An unavailable recipient;
- Incorrect information provided by the customer.
If a package is returned because of an address error or failed delivery, the customer may be responsible for additional shipping costs. Original shipping charges are non-refundable.
Lost or Stolen Packages
If tracking information shows that a package was delivered, the order will be considered delivered.
Creative Light is not responsible for packages that are lost, stolen, misplaced, or removed after confirmed delivery.
Customers should contact the shipping carrier and check with household members, neighbors, building staff, reception areas, and local delivery points.
We will provide reasonable assistance with carrier investigations when available.
Refused Deliveries and Unclaimed Packages
Orders that are refused, abandoned, or not collected may be returned to the sender.
Any refund approved for a returned package may have shipping, handling, customs, storage, or carrier return fees deducted from the total.
Chargebacks and Payment Disputes
Please contact lightingcreative@support.com before opening a chargeback or payment dispute.
We will make reasonable efforts to investigate and resolve legitimate concerns.
When a payment dispute is opened, Creative Light may provide the payment processor with order information, tracking records, delivery confirmation, customer communications, and evidence that the customer accepted our store policies.
Policy Abuse
Creative Light reserves the right to refuse returns, refunds, replacements, or future orders in cases involving suspected fraud, false claims, repeated policy abuse, excessive return activity, altered evidence, or misuse of the chargeback process.
Nothing in this policy limits any mandatory consumer rights provided by applicable law.
