1. OUR COMMITMENT
At Ravora Systems, we strive to provide a seamless shopping experience. We understand that occasionally a product may not meet your expectations. This policy is designed to be fair to both the customer and the business, ensuring transparency in how we handle returns, exchanges, and refunds in accordance with the Consumer Protection Act (2012) of Kenya.
2. THE 7-DAY RETURN WINDOW
- Customers have a period of seven (7) days from the date of delivery to initiate a return request.
- Calculation: The 7-day period begins the day the tracking status shows "Delivered" or the day the item is collected from a pick-up station.
- Expiration: Requests made after the 7th day will not be eligible for a return or refund, except in cases of latent manufacturing defects covered by a specific warranty.
3. ELIGIBILITY FOR RETURNS
To ensure a successful return, the following conditions must be strictly met:
- Pristine Condition: The item must be unused, uninstalled, and in the same condition that you received it.
- Original Packaging: The product must be in its original, unopened packaging. This includes all outer boxes, internal cushioning, and protective plastic wraps.
- Complete Components: All accessories, manuals, cables, and free promotional gifts included in the original order must be returned.
- Hygiene & Safety: Apparel must have all original tags attached. Items must be free of scents, stains, or signs of wear.

6. HOW TO INITIATE A RETURN
To return an item, please follow this process:

- Self-Service: (Optional) Log in to your Ravora Systems account and click "Request Return" next to the specific order.
- Authorization: You will receive a Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) number. Do not send items back without this number, as they will not be accepted at our warehouse.
- Drop-off/Collection: You can drop the item at our designated Nairobi center or we can arrange a courier collection (costs apply for non-defective returns).
7. REFUND MODALITIES AND TIMELINES
All returns are subject to a Quality Check (QC) upon arrival at our facility.
- QC Period: This process takes 24–72 hours.
- Approval: If the item passes QC, your refund will be authorized. If the item is found to be used or damaged by the customer, it will be sent back to you, and no refund will be issued.
- Refund Method: Refunds are issued to the original payment method (M-Pesa, Bank, or Card).
- Timeline: Once authorized, it takes 3 to 5 business days for the funds to reflect in your account.
- Deductions: Delivery fees paid at the time of purchase are non-refundable. For "change of mind" returns, a restocking fee of 10% may apply.
8. CANCELLATION OF ORDERS
- Pre-Dispatch: You may cancel your order at any time before it leaves our warehouse for a full refund.
- In-Transit: If you cancel while the item is already with the courier, you will be refunded the item cost minus the delivery fees.
9. WARRANTY AND REPAIRS
