Refund policy
We offer an exchange or refund within seven (7) days of receiving your purchase.
After 7 days of receipt of purchase, we cannot accept returns.
Please email us at info@maaracollective.com within this time period (7 days) with any questions or issues, so that we can resolve them asap.
Items purchased from a retail outlet must be returned to the retailer from where the item was purchased. Only items purchased through the MAARA online store can be returned to MAARA Head Office.
This refund policy does not apply to goods which have been worn or used, soiled, damaged after delivery, or if any attempt has been made to alter the product.
You must provide proof of purchase and follow our Returns Process (including completed Returns Authorisation Form) and have contacted MAARA Head Office before sending any items back.
ALL products must be returned in their original condition, unworn, unwashed, free of damage and with all original packaging and garment tags in place.
For this reason, we ask that you please try on your purchase straight away, so that we can arrange a suitable replacement if an alternative size or style is required (pending availability).
Returns that are damaged, soiled, altered or show signs of being worn will not be accepted and may be sent straight back to the customer.
Please note that we do not accept returns on swimwear, underwear or jewellery (earrings) for health and hygiene reasons.
No refunds on sale items. We offer an exchange within the online store only for sale items.
Should you wish to return your MAARA order, please note that original shipping charges are non-refundable. MAARA does not provide complimentary return shipping, and customers are responsible for the cost of returning or exchanging items.
Incorrect size
If you require an alternative size, please contact us immediately (no more than 7 days) at info@maaracollective.com with your requested size option, and we will arrange a replacement for you. If your requested size is unavailable, you may choose another suitable item from the online store (of the same value).
Exchange of style
If you are not happy with the style – or it is just not right for you, please contact us immediately (no more than 7 days) at info@maaracollective.com and you may choose another suitable item from the online store (of the same value).
If you wish to exchange for a different style (and different price) we recommend returning your purchase for a full refund and placing another separate order.
Faulty or damaged items
Please note that items are only considered faulty if they are received damaged.
Items damaged as a result of wear and tear are not considered to be faulty.
If you receive an item that is faulty or damaged, please contact us immediately (no more than 7 days) at info@maaracollective.com and we will arrange a replacement for you.
If a replacement is unavailable, you may choose another suitable item.
If an item is faulty and there is not suitable replacement, you may be refunded.
Items purchased at full price are eligible for full refund on the amount (not including shipping).
Items purchased on sale are final and cannot be returned for a refund or exchange unless deemed faulty.
Item Availability
Please note that stock items are not updated in real time, therefore items may be sold out at the time of purchase. If this happens, you will be notified by the Customer Care team as soon as possible and offered a suitable replacement or full refund.
Changes to your order
If your order has already been processed and sent out, we are unable to adjust delivery details. However, if you have entered an incorrect email address, please email us immediately at info@maaracollective.com with the adjustments and we will endeavour to correct them if the order has not yet been processed. Best to contact us straight away in this case – as we will always aim to get your orders on their way to you as quickly as we can!
Returns Process
All items must have contacted Head Office, have been provided with an RAN, and completed a MAARA RETURN AUTHORISATION FORM (printed and included with the garment when sent back to Head Office).
Please email Head Office at info@maaracollective.com to request the RETURN AUTHORISATION FORM. At this point you will be provided with an RAN (Returns Authorisation Number) which you must include on your form for return.
When you receive this form (via email), please print it out and complete it as best you can.
Missing information will obviously hold up the returns or refunds process.
Place the completed form with returning item (all original tags in place) in a post satchel to the Head Office address (supplied on your Returns Form).
We do recommend using an express post service to return, so that the item reaches us within the 7 day time-frame.
Please note that MAARA does not cover your return postage costs.
Within Australia it will generally take our team 2-5 days to receive a return package.
Once the returned item is received at Head Office, it will undergo a quality assessment by our Customer Care team.
If cleared for return, you will either receive your new item/s (for exchange) or a refund on the cost at purchase (excluding original shipping cost) directly to the credit card or Paypal account that was used for the original purchase. We cannot refund to a different card.
Refunds are processed within 1-2 days of assessment, however please be aware that funds can take up to 10 business days to appear in your bank account.
You will receive email notification of this process.
All postage and insurance costs are to be paid by the customer. We recommend that you return the product via Registered post and that you pre-pay all postage.
MAARA will not be responsible for parcels lost or damaged in transit if you choose not to insure.
You assume any risk of lost, theft or damaged goods during transit.
