Returns & Refunds Policy
Vela Nova GmbH

At VELA NOVA, every product is boldly designed and crafted with you in mind. While we hope your purchase aligns with your unique journey, we understand that returns may sometimes be necessary. We’ve made our returns and refund process as effortless as possible, ensuring your experience remains seamless from start to finish.

CHANGE OF HEART? HERE’S HOW TO RETURN WITH EASE
Have 30 Days To Decide?

Absolutely! We want you to feel great about your choice. That’s why you have 30 days from your purchase to start a return, whether you’ve had a change of heart or received a product that wasn’t quite right. Simply Contact Us, and we’ll take care of the details. Once we approve your return, you’ll have 7 days to send it back to us in its original condition—no stress, just a smooth and straightforward process.

For non-defective returns, items should be unused, in their original packaging, and as pristine as when they arrived.

Products purchased through a retailer: Please return these directly to the store where they were bought. Unfortunately, we can’t process returns for items purchased from other retailers, but their customer service teams are ready to assist you.

Custom orders and sale items: Due to the personalized nature and exclusivity of custom orders and sale items, these purchases are final and cannot be returned. Thank you for your understanding.
