Returns & Refunds Policy

MarsLED, Mars Lighting and Electrical Distribution

This Returns & Refunds Policy applies to eligible purchases from MarsLED, Mars Lighting and Electrical Distribution. Because lighting and electrical products can be installed, altered, opened, special ordered, safety-sensitive, or affected by handling and packaging condition, all returns must meet the conditions below and must be approved by MarsLED before being shipped or brought back.

7-Day Return Window

Our return policy lasts 7 days. If 7 days have gone by since your purchase or delivery, MarsLED may not be able to offer a refund, exchange, or return approval, except where required by applicable law or confirmed in writing by MarsLED.

To be eligible for a return, the item must be unused, uninstalled, unopened where applicable, in the same condition that you received it, and in its original packaging with all parts, accessories, manuals, labels, and packaging materials included.

Important: Please do not send products back to the manufacturer. Please contact MarsLED first for return review and instructions.

• Payment-card refunds may depend on your bank or payment provider.
• Cheque refunds may require additional mailing time through Canada Post.

Shipping responsibility: You are responsible for paying your own shipping costs for returning your item unless otherwise confirmed in writing by MarsLED. Shipping costs are non-refundable. If you receive a refund, return shipping or original shipping costs may be deducted from your refund where applicable.

If you are shipping an item over $75, you should consider using a trackable shipping service and purchasing shipping insurance. MarsLED does not guarantee that we will receive your returned item.

Gifts

If the item was marked as a gift when purchased and shipped directly to you, MarsLED may issue a gift credit or store credit for the approved return value once the returned item is received and approved.

If the item was not marked as a gift when purchased, or if the gift giver had the order shipped to themselves to give to you later, MarsLED may issue any approved refund to the original purchaser or original payment method.

Warranty Claims Are Separate From Returns

Manufacturer warranty coverage is separate from MarsLED’s return policy. Products that are outside the 7-day return window, installed, used, or not eligible for return may still be subject to manufacturer warranty terms if applicable.

Warranty claims may require product photos, proof of purchase, model numbers, serial numbers, manufacturer review, and troubleshooting steps. MarsLED may help guide the process where possible, but warranty decisions may be made by the manufacturer or supplier.

Policy Updates & Limitations

MarsLED may update this Returns & Refunds Policy from time to time without prior notice. Nothing in this policy limits rights or remedies that cannot be limited under applicable consumer protection laws.

This policy should be read together with MarsLED’s Shipping Policy, Local Pickup & Delivery page, product pages, checkout terms, manufacturer warranty terms, and any written communication provided by MarsLED regarding a specific order.
