The terms "Handpan 360" or "Handpan360.com" or "we" or "us" or "our" refer to Handpan 360, the owner of this Site and our affiliates. The term "you" or "customer" refers to the viewer or user of the Site and our services. If you don't agree with our terms of use, please don't use the Site. Let's get started with our return policy:
Return Policy
At Handpan 360, we strive to provide our customers with high-quality handpans and exceptional customer service. Our goal is for you to be completely satisfied with your purchase. We understand that our customers may need to return their handpan purchase for various reasons. If you are not satisfied with your purchase, you can return your handpan within 14 days of the original purchase date.
Please note that a restocking fee of 15% will be charged on all returns. This includes handpans, handpan accessories or any other product purchased from Handpan 360. Additionally, the customer is responsible for paying the shipping charges for returning any product. We are happy to provide the customer with a return shipping label for convenience. If we create a return label for the customer, that return shipping label cost will be deducted from their refund. Please ensure that the product is returned in its original condition with all its accessories and packaging intact to be eligible for a refund.
Please note that certain items are exempt from being returned, including but not limited to custom handpans and handpans that have been altered or damaged due to misuse or neglect. We reserve the right to refuse refunds at our discretion, such as in cases where a handpan has been altered or damaged due to misuse or neglect, or is not returned in its original condition. We will communicate any reasons for denying a refund to the customer in a timely manner.
Refunds will be issued to the original payment method once the handpan has been received and inspected by our team. We reserve the right to refuse a refund if the handpan is not returned in its original condition or if it has been damaged due to improper handling during shipping. It is the customer's responsibility to ensure that the handpan is returned safely and without damage during shipping. Any repair fee or tuning fee incurred for any reason, including but not limited to damage during return shipping, damage caused by mishandling, improper packaging, alteration or damage due to misuse or neglect, will be deducted from the customer's refund. The customer will be notified of the fee before it is deducted from their refund.
Once the handpan has arrived back to our warehouse and has been inspected by our team, a refund will be issued to the original payment method. Please note that it may take up to several business days for the refund to show up in your bank account, Venmo account, PayPal account, credit card account, or other form of payment account. Please allow up to 10 business days for the refund to be processed and appear in your account.
If you have any questions or concerns about our return policy, please don't hesitate to contact us by phone or text at (352) 316-7919 or by email at handpan360@gmail.com. We hope that our return policy makes it easier for you to shop with confidence.

Upon receiving the damaged shipment, please immediately take pictures and videos of the damaged box, handpan, or other product.

If you choose to accept the damaged shipment, please contact us by phone or text at (352) 316-7919 or by email at handpan360@gmail.com within 24 hours of receiving the package to report the damage.

Any unresolved dispute shall be settled, using the English language, by binding and confidential arbitration, notice of which must be sent to us by you, per the Notice provision set forth herein, and describe the nature of the claim and relief sought. If resolution is not reached within sixty (60) calendar days, you or Handpan 360 may commence an arbitration proceeding. The arbitration will be conducted in the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of Gainesville, Florida, and if the claims involved total less than US$10,000, then will be conducted through document submission or telephonic hearing unless in-person arbitration is legally required.
