Updated: 06/20/2024

For individual products’ applicable return, refund, & cancellation policy, please click “Warranty Policy” found on each specific product page.

Welcome to the TorqueForm (Luxauro, Gold Metal Guild, and TF Empires) (“we,” “us,” “our”), your reliable Tribrid online marketplace for shoppers, Merchants, Professionals, and Founders to work together and advance each other. For more information, see our Returns and Refunds FAQs. We understand that sometimes a product or service may not quite meet expectations. In line with our goal and mission, Merchants, Professionals, and Founders are responsible for ensuring the quality of the products they sell, services they offer, and projects they found. We make no representations, warranties, or guarantees regarding the truthfulness, accuracy, reliability, validity, quality, safety, morality, or legality of any of the products sold, services offered, or projects or associated rewards founded on our platform. We are not liable for any damages or losses related to your use of the Site or Platform Services. We will not become involved in any dispute between Users, Merchants, Professionals, Founders, Contributors, or between Users and any third party relating to the use of the Site or Platform Services.

Should an item(s) arrive damaged, degraded, destroyed, unusable, not as depicted or described, or where the item did not arrive at all, please first contact the Merchant regarding any return, refund, or product replacement request and consult individual Merchants’ return, refund, and cancellation policies found on each specific Merchant’s store page and on each individual Product page. If a Professional Service does not meet up to your expectations in any way, please first contact the GMG Professional regarding any refund and consult the GMG Professional’s Professional Service Contract. If you have already contacted the Merchant or GMG Professional in regards to a potential return, refund, or product replacement and you have not received a response from the Merchant or GMG Professional within seventy-two (72) hours, you may contact us at Luxauro.com/contact. We make no representations, warranties, or guarantees that any Merchant or GMG Professional will accept a return or issue a refund or product replacement. Unless otherwise defined in this Returns, Refunds, and Cancellations Policy, terms used in this Returns, Refunds, and Cancellations Policy have the same meanings as in our Tribrid Terms of Use.
