8. Condition of Sale (U.S. & International)

8.1 U.S. Sales Terms

Returns: We offer a 30-day return policy from the date of delivery for customers in the United States. To qualify for a full refund, products must be returned unused, in original packaging, and with all accessories included. Items returned incomplete or showing signs of wear may be subject to a 15% restocking fee or may be refused. Return shipping is the responsibility of the customer unless the product is defective or was shipped in error. We strongly recommend using a trackable and insured shipping method.

Warranty: All SYC and Musilia cases sold in the U.S. are covered by a 2-year limited warranty from the date of purchase. This warranty covers manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship. It does not cover normal wear and tear, misuse, accidental damage, or any damage to instruments stored in the case. Warranty claims must include valid proof of purchase and supporting photos. SYC reserves the right to repair or replace the item at our discretion.

Shipping: Ground shipping is free within the contiguous United States. Orders are typically processed within 1–2 business days (Monday through Friday, excluding holidays). All shipments include tracking, and some may require a signature upon delivery. Expedited shipping is available by request and may incur additional charges.

8.2 International Sales Terms

Returns: International orders are eligible for return within 14 days of delivery. Items must be returned in new and unused condition, with original packaging and all accessories. Incomplete returns may incur a 20% restocking fee. Customers are responsible for return shipping and any applicable customs or import duties. We recommend choosing a trackable and insured carrier.

Shipping: International shipments are fulfilled via DHL or UPS. Duties, taxes, and fees are calculated at checkout where applicable. Delivery times vary based on destination and customs processing. SYC is not responsible for delays caused by inaccurate shipping information or customs clearance.

Cancellation: Orders may be canceled free of charge within 24 hours of placement. To cancel an order, please email info@syccase.co.uk with your name, order number, and reason for cancellation. Orders that have already shipped cannot be canceled.

Warranty: All international sales are covered by the same 2-year limited warranty as U.S. orders. This includes manufacturing defects only. Damage caused by misuse, heat exposure, impact, or wear is not covered. After the warranty period, repair services may be offered at a minimal cost, excluding shipping. Customers are responsible for warranty shipping charges unless otherwise arranged.

Disclaimer: Product images shown online are for reference and may vary slightly due to batch differences or manufacturing improvements. SYC strongly recommends customers insure their cases as part of their instrument protection plan. We may revise these Terms at any time. Updated Terms will be posted on this page.
