POLICY

Refund Policy

This Refund Policy explains when refunds may be available for purchases made through Tunog Kalye. Refund eligibility depends on what you bought, how it was delivered, and whether the order was fulfilled by a seller or by Tunog Kalye.

Policy Details

Eligibility & requests.

1. Digital Purchases

Digital purchases are eligible for refunds only in limited cases. This may include failed delivery, corrupted files, missing tracks, duplicate charges, or another verifiable issue that prevents normal use of the purchase. Refund requests for digital purchases must be submitted within 180 days of the original purchase date.

If your digital purchase has a problem that may be fixed by re-uploading files or restoring missing audio, please contact the artist, label, or seller first so they can correct the issue. If the issue cannot be resolved, contact support with the purchase details and a clear explanation of the problem.

2. Physical Merchandise

For physical items such as vinyl, cassettes, CDs, apparel, or other merchandise, contact the seller first if the item is damaged, missing, or incorrect. Include your order number, the item name, a description of the issue, and photos if possible. We may ask for additional information before approving a refund or exchange.

If a physical item was shipped by a seller registered as a trader or professional seller, additional consumer rights may apply depending on your location. Where required by law, eligible items shipped to the EU or UK may include withdrawal or return rights. Custom-made and perishable goods are generally excluded unless otherwise required by law.

3. Duplicate or Unauthorized Charges

If you believe you were charged twice or did not authorize a payment, contact support as soon as possible. Include the transaction date, order number if available, and the payment method used. We may need time to review the payment record before we can issue a refund.

We take unauthorized charges seriously and will work with you and the payment processor to investigate and resolve the issue promptly. In cases of confirmed unauthorized charges, we will process a refund as quickly as possible, subject to payment processor timelines and requirements.

4. How to Request a Refund

To request a refund, send us: your order number or transaction ID; the item name or release title; the email address used for the purchase; a short explanation of the issue; and photos or screenshots if relevant. The more complete your request, the faster we can review it.

For physical merchandise, contact the seller first whenever possible. For digital purchases or unresolved cases, contact Tunog Kalye support directly. We will acknowledge receipt of your refund request within 2 business days and provide an estimated timeline for resolution.

Decisions & Disputes

Outcomes & exceptions.

5. Refund Decisions

Refunds are reviewed case by case. We may offer a refund, replacement, re-download, re-delivery, or another reasonable remedy depending on the issue. Approved refunds are normally issued to the original payment method when possible. Processing time depends on the payment provider and your financial institution.

We aim to reach a decision on refund requests within 5 business days of receiving all necessary information. Complex cases may take longer, and we will keep you informed of the progress throughout the review process. If a refund is denied, we will provide a clear explanation of the reason.

6. Non-Refundable Items

Unless required by law or approved as an exception, the following are generally non-refundable: digital products that have already been downloaded and delivered successfully; custom-made or personalized physical items; items returned without prior approval where approval is required; and fees that cannot be reversed by the payment processor, unless required by law.

We understand that exceptions may sometimes apply, particularly in cases of defective or misrepresented products. If you believe your situation warrants an exception to these non-refundable categories, please contact support with a detailed explanation and we will review your case on its merits.

7. Chargebacks and Disputes

If a payment dispute or chargeback is filed, we may pause the refund process while we review the case. A chargeback may affect seller payouts or fulfillment status. In some cases, we may ask both the buyer and seller for supporting records before making a decision.

Filing a chargeback with your bank or credit card company before attempting to resolve the issue through our support channels may delay the resolution process. We strongly encourage you to contact us first so we can work together to find a fair and timely resolution to any payment dispute.

8. Contact

For refund help, contact support through the Platform and include your order details. The more complete your request, the faster we can review it. You can reach us at support@tunogkalye.net or through the contact form on the Platform.

When contacting support about a refund, please include as much detail as possible about your order and the issue you are experiencing. This helps us process your request more efficiently and reach a resolution faster. Our support team is available Monday through Friday and aims to respond within 2 business days.
