We will process eligible cancellations without a cancellation handling fee.
After Shipment
If your order has already shipped, please contact our customer support team as soon as possible.
We will check whether the shipment can be intercepted or returned through the carrier.
If the shipment cannot be intercepted, the order may need to be delivered before a return can be arranged under the applicable return policy.
No cancellation handling fee will be charged.
For non-defective returns, customers remain responsible for applicable return shipping costs. Statutory cancellation and refund rights are unaffected.

- Bank Processing: Depending on your bank or payment provider, funds typically appear within 5–10 business days after processing.
Where applicable law requires a different refund deadline, we will follow that requirement.
If your approved refund has not appeared after the expected processing period, please contact customer support.
9. Two-Year Limited Warranty
All Brightin Star products include a 2-year limited warranty from the date of purchase, covering eligible manufacturing defects under normal use.
Within the warranty period, eligible products may qualify for free repair or replacement according to our warranty conditions.
This warranty does not cover damage caused by misuse, accidents, unauthorized repairs, or normal wear and tear.
After the 2-year warranty period, customers are responsible for repair and service costs.
Warranty claims and shipping arrangements are handled according to our separate Warranty Service Policy.
This warranty is separate from our 90-day return policy and does not restrict any statutory consumer rights.
10. European Union and United Kingdom Consumer Rights
For customers covered by applicable European Union or United Kingdom consumer protection laws, statutory cancellation and return rights apply in addition to this policy.
For eligible online purchases, consumers generally have the right to cancel an order within 14 days of delivery without providing a reason.
Customers must notify us within the applicable cancellation period and return the goods within the legally required timeframe.
For returns made under the statutory right of withdrawal:
- Return shipping costs are generally the customer's responsibility where permitted by law and properly disclosed.
- Refunds, including any required standard delivery charges, will be handled in accordance with applicable law.
- Customers may inspect products as reasonably necessary to assess their nature, characteristics, and functioning. Any legally permitted deduction for excessive handling will be assessed accordingly.
Nothing in this policy overrides or limits mandatory consumer protection rights.
