Spa Cover Satisfaction Guarantee - 30 Day Money-Back Policy
- This policy was introduced and has taken affect as of August 16, 2012.
- Unlike other spa cover sellers, we allow returns of our spa covers for any reason within 30 days of delivery.
- Spa cover orders become eligible for the Spa Cover Satisfaction Guarantee once they have been received by the customer. The allotted 30 days return window begins on the day of delivery.
- Customers may return their spa covers within 30 days of delivery for any reason, including circumstances in which the customer has ordered the wrong size, they do not like the color or configuration of the cover, or for any other reason in which they are not satisfied with the product.
- No restocking fee will be assessed against the refund for returned spa covers.
- Customer must call into our customer service department and, like any other return, must obtain a Return Merchandise Authorization number. Customers must fill out the spa cover return form that will be provided to them before a RMA number is issued.
- Covers may be used, but must be clean and dry in order to be returned. They need to be returned in their original packaging if it is available. Suitable and approved packaging may be substituted upon request.
- America's SPA-MART will attempt to assist the customer in procuring return freight services from our partner companies but cannot guarantee that the carrier that was utilized to deliver the cover will be able to pick the cover up again. The customer is ultimately responsible for the return of the product to our facility and may use any carrier that they prefer. Like all of our other products being returned, the cost of the return freight service is solely the responsibility of the customer. In the event that America's SPA-MART sets up the return freight and the carrier requires that America's SPA-MART be billed in order for the maximum shipping discount to be applied, the customer must irrevocably authorize a payment equal to the cost that will be assessed before the pickup can be scheduled.
- All covers must be returned to our main headquarters office located at 1228 Castle Drive Suite B, Mason, OH 45040. Covers may not be returned to any other location.
- When the returned cover is received at our headquarters office, the customer will be refunded for the original purchase amount minus the cost of the outbound shipping.
- Though not 100% free to exercise, like our standard return policy, we believe our Spa Cover Satisfaction Guarantee gives our customers the opportunity to return an item that they have changed their mind about. Please contact us if you have any questions regarding this or any other policy regarding shopping with us.
Custom-made Spa Covers
- Custom-made spa covers may be made in whole or half inch dimensions. For example, if you order a 75-1/4" x 86-3/4" spa cover, we will round these dimensions up to 75-1/2" x 87". This will not affect the covers ability to seal and completely insulate your spa. In this case, the cover will only be 1/8" larger than specified all the way around the spa.
- Custom-made spa covers will not be made less than the specified dimensions. However, due to the nature of spa cover manufacturing, we reserve the right to allow the cover to be no more than 1" larger than the rounded-up specified size.
- Custom-made spa covers are not returnable beyond 30 days after the delivery date unless America's SPA-MART has improperly manufactured the product.
Custom-made Billiard Table Covers
- Custom-made billiard table covers will not be made less than the specified dimensions. However, due to the nature of billiard table cover manufacturing, we reserve the right to allow the cover to be no more than 1/2" larger than the specified size.
- Custom size and color billiard table covers are not returnable unless America's SPA-MART has improperly manufactured the product.
