Refund Policy
Slotwagen White Scratch Build Kit – Refund & Returns Policy
​
At Slotwagen, our White Scratch Build Kits are designed for hobbyists and model builders who enjoy assembling, modifying, tuning, sanding, painting, and finishing their own models. Because every builder's techniques, tools, modifications, and assembly methods differ, we are unable to determine whether damage or defects occurred during the building process or through product misuse.
White Scratch Build Kit Policy
​
Our White Scratch Build Kits are supplied as unfinished scratch build products and require assembly, preparation, fitting, sanding, painting, tuning, and other modelling procedures by the customer.
For this reason, Slotwagen does not accept returns or offer refunds for:
-
Parts damaged during assembly or the building process.
-
Parts that have been modified, sanded, drilled, glued, painted, trimmed, or altered in any way.
-
Products that have been incorrectly assembled or fitted.
-
Damage resulting from user error, incorrect tools, excessive force, accidents, misuse, racing incidents, or improper installation.
-
Performance issues resulting from modifications or customisation by the customer.
Â
Once assembly or modification has commenced, the product is considered accepted by the customer and is no longer eligible for return or refund.
Returns for Unopened Products
If you wish to return an unused product, please contact us prior to returning any items to obtain a Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) number.

The customer is responsible for all return shipping costs unless the item supplied was incorrect.

If the returned item complies with this policy, a refund will be processed after inspection.
Unless otherwise requested, refunds will be issued to the original payment method used for the purchase (including PayPal or credit card where applicable).
You should expect to receive your refund within 10 calendar days after Slotwagen has received and approved the returned item.
