Return and Refund Policy

Soontact Packaging Machinery Co., Ltd.

Effective Date: February 1, 2026


1. Overview

Soontact Packaging Machinery Co., Ltd. ("Soontact," "we," "us," or "our") is committed to delivering high-quality packaging machinery that meets agreed specifications. Due to the custom nature of industrial machinery, we maintain a strict return and refund policy. Please read the policy carefully before placing an order.

2. No Returns Policy

All sales are final. We do not accept returns for change of mind, incorrect ordering, or any reason other than verified quality issues. Packaging machinery is manufactured to order based on customer specifications, making returns impractical for resale or restocking.

Before placing an order, buyers should:

  • Review all product specifications and technical documentation
  • Confirm machine suitability for intended applications
  • Verify packaging material compatibility
  • Clarify any questions with our sales team

We encourage buyers to request video demonstrations, sample runs, or detailed technical consultations before purchase to ensure the selected machinery meets requirements.

3. Quality Issue Returns

We accept returns only when machinery exhibits verified manufacturing defects or quality issues that prevent normal operation as specified.

3.1 Qualifying Quality Issues

Returns may be accepted for:

  • Manufacturing defects in materials or workmanship
  • Machinery that fails to meet agreed specifications
  • Missing components that were included in the order
  • Damage caused during production or packaging by Soontact

3.2 Non-Qualifying Issues

Returns will not be accepted for:

  • Damage caused during shipping (covered by shipping insurance claims)
  • Damage caused by improper installation or operation
  • Damage caused by unauthorized modifications or repairs
  • Normal wear and tear
  • Issues arising from use outside specified operating parameters
  • Incompatibility with packaging materials not specified at the time of order
  • Performance issues caused by improper power supply or utilities
  • Buyer's change of mind or business circumstances

4. Reporting Quality Issues

4.1 Timeframe

Quality issues must be reported within 30 days of delivery. Issues reported after 30 days will be handled under warranty terms rather than the return policy.

4.2 Documentation Required

To report a quality issue, contact us at jayce@soontact.com with:

  • Order number and purchase date
  • Detailed description of the quality issue
  • Photographs clearly showing the defect
  • Videos demonstrating the malfunction (if applicable)
  • Any relevant test results or measurements

4.3 Evaluation Process

Upon receiving a quality complaint, our technical team will:

  1. Review submitted documentation
  2. Request additional information if needed
  3. Conduct remote troubleshooting via video call when possible
  4. Determine whether the issue qualifies as a manufacturing defect

We will respond to quality complaints within 7 business days with an initial assessment.

5. Resolution Options

When a quality issue is verified, we offer the following resolution options at our discretion:

5.1 Repair

We may provide replacement parts, repair instructions, or remote technical support to resolve the issue. For complex repairs, we may arrange for a technician visit at our expense if deemed necessary.

5.2 Replacement Parts

Defective components will be replaced free of charge. Replacement parts are shipped via the most appropriate method based on urgency and location.

5.3 Machine Replacement

In cases where machinery cannot be repaired to meet specifications, we may provide a replacement machine. The defective machine must be returned to us before or simultaneously with replacement shipment.

5.4 Refund

Full or partial refunds may be issued in cases where repair or replacement is not feasible. Refunds are processed after the defective machinery is returned and inspected at our facility.

6. Return Shipping for Quality Issues

6.1 Shipping Costs

For verified quality issues, Soontact covers return shipping costs. We will arrange and pay for freight to return defective machinery to our facility.

6.2 Packaging Requirements

Returned machinery must be:

  • Properly packaged to prevent damage during transit
  • Returned with all original components and accessories
  • Cleaned and free of production materials

We will provide packaging instructions and may arrange for professional packing services if necessary.

6.3 Shipping Arrangements

Do not return machinery without prior authorization. We will provide a Return Authorization Number and shipping instructions once a return is approved.

7. Refund Process

7.1 Refund Method

Refunds are issued via the original payment method, typically telegraphic transfer (T/T) to the bank account from which payment was received.

7.2 Processing Time

Refunds are processed within 30 days after:

  • Returned machinery is received at our facility
  • Inspection confirms the reported quality issue
  • All return conditions are met

7.3 Refund Amount

Full refunds include the machinery purchase price. Shipping costs paid by the buyer for the original shipment are refundable only if the quality issue existed at the time of delivery. Costs incurred by the buyer for customs duties, taxes, or import fees are not refundable by Soontact but may be recoverable through customs authorities in the buyer's country.

8. Order Cancellation

8.1 Before Production

Orders may be cancelled before production begins. A full refund will be issued minus any non-recoverable costs such as bank transfer fees.

8.2 During Production

Once production has commenced, orders cannot be cancelled. Machinery is built to order based on customer specifications and cannot be resold to other customers.

8.3 After Shipment

Orders cannot be cancelled after machinery has been shipped.

9. Deposits

Deposits paid to initiate production are non-refundable once production has commenced, except in cases where Soontact is unable to fulfill the order as agreed.

10. Warranty Coverage

Quality issues discovered after the 30-day return period are handled under our standard warranty policy. Warranty coverage provides for repair or replacement of defective parts for 12 months from the date of shipment. Refer to our Terms and Conditions for complete warranty details.

11. Dispute Resolution

If buyers disagree with our assessment of a quality complaint, we encourage open communication to reach a fair resolution. Unresolved disputes will be handled according to the dispute resolution procedures outlined in our Terms and Conditions.
