Refund policy
Docas Return, Refund & Warranty Policy
Last updated: September 11, 2026
At Docas, we stand behind everything we sell. If you're not fully satisfied with your purchase, you may request a return or refund within 30 calendar days of your delivery date, subject to the conditions outlined below. By completing a purchase on docas.us, you acknowledge and agree to the terms of this policy in full.
Return Eligibility
To be eligible for a return, your item must meet all of the following conditions at the time it is received back at our facility:
- Item is unused and unopened
- Item is in its original packaging, intact and undamaged
- Item shows no visible wear, scratches, or damage of any kind
- All accessories, components, cables, and included parts are present and accounted for
- Receipt or proof of purchase is included
Items that do not meet every condition above will not be accepted for return and will be shipped back to the customer at their expense, or forfeit the refund at our discretion.
How to Start a Return
To initiate a return, email support@docas.us with the subject line:
"Return Request – Order #[your order number]"
Include your order number, the item(s) you wish to return, and the reason for your return. Our team will respond within 2 business days with return instructions and a prepaid shipping label.
Once you receive your label, ship the item back within 14 calendar days. Failure to ship within this window will void the return request.
Do not ship items back without receiving written return authorization from Docas. Unauthorized returns will not be accepted or refunded.
Return Shipping & Fees
We want to be transparent: returning a product has real costs. The following fees will be deducted from your refund automatically.
Shipping & Handling Fee A prepaid return shipping label will be provided by Docas. The cost of this label — based on package weight, dimensions, and destination — will be deducted from your refund. The exact fee is available upon request at any point during the return process. Original outbound shipping and handling fees paid at checkout are non-refundable.
Restocking Fee A restocking fee of 3.5% of the item's purchase price (excluding taxes) will be deducted from all eligible returns. This fee covers inspection, reprocessing, and inventory handling.
Example If you purchased an item for $100.00 and the return label costs $8.50, your refund would be: $100.00 − $3.50 (restocking) − $8.50 (return shipping) = $88.00 refunded to your original payment method or as store credit.
Refund Method & Timeline
We will notify you once we've received and inspected your return. If approved, refunds are issued to your original payment method or as Docas store credit, at your selection.
- Original payment method: processed within 5–10 business days of receiving and inspecting the returned item. Please allow additional time for your bank or card issuer to post the credit.
- Store credit: applied within 1–2 business days.
If more than 15 business days have passed since your return was approved and you have not received your refund, please contact us at support@docas.us.
Damages & Issues
Please inspect your order upon receipt and contact us immediately if your item is defective, damaged, or incorrect. Email support@docas.us with your order number and clear photos or video of the issue so we can evaluate and make it right as quickly as possible.
Damage claims reported more than 7 days after delivery may not be eligible for a full replacement or refund at our discretion.
Non-Returnable Items
The following are not eligible for return or refund under any circumstances:
- Items returned after the 30-day window has elapsed
- Items that do not meet the condition requirements above
- Items marked Final Sale at the time of purchase
- Gift cards
- Personal care goods and hygiene-sensitive items (including earbuds/headsets that have been worn or unsealed, where local law permits)
- Items damaged due to customer misuse, negligence, or improper handling
If you have questions about whether your specific item qualifies, contact us at support@docas.us before initiating a return.
The Docas Green Initiative — Keep It, Give It Forward
At Docas, we're committed to reducing waste and keeping products out of landfills. If you'd prefer not to ship your item back, you're welcome to keep it and donate it or gift it to someone who can use it — and we'll reward you for it.
Customers who choose this path may be eligible to receive up to 50% of their original purchase price back, issued as a refund to your original payment method or as store credit, subject to the following:
- Your return request is submitted within the 30-day guarantee window
- The item is in a condition reasonably suitable for donation or gifting, as represented honestly by the customer
- Your stated reason for return is reviewed and approved by our team
- Docas reserves the right to determine eligibility and refund amount at its sole discretion
To request a Green Initiative refund, email support@docas.us and indicate that you are opting into the Green Initiative and will not be shipping the item back. Our team will respond within 2 business days with a decision and refund amount.
By choosing the Green Initiative option, you confirm that the item will be donated or gifted and not resold. Docas reserves the right to deny or reduce the refund if information provided is found to be inaccurate or inconsistent.
Docas Limited Warranty
Docas products purchased on docas.us are covered by our Limited Warranty. If your product is covered and suffers a qualifying defect, we will replace it — subject to the terms below. Warranty eligibility is confirmed at the time of purchase and indicated in your order confirmation.
What Is Covered
- Manufacturing defects — flaws in materials or workmanship present at or arising from the time of production
- Hardware malfunctions — failures of internal components (battery, transducers, microphone, buttons, charging port) under normal and intended use conditions
What Is Not Covered
- Physical damage — cracks, breaks, or damage from drops, impacts, or crushing
- Water or liquid damage — exposure to rain, submersion, sweat, or any liquid beyond the product's stated rating
- Unauthorized modifications — any repair, alteration, or disassembly not performed by Docas or a Docas-authorized party
- Normal wear and tear — cosmetic deterioration and gradual battery-capacity decline from regular use over time
- Misuse or negligence — use contrary to product instructions or outside of intended purpose
- Products purchased from unauthorized resellers or third-party marketplaces
- Products with removed, altered, or illegible serial numbers
Replacement Terms
- Replacement Fee — A non-refundable $9.00 processing fee + shipping & handling is required to fulfill all warranty replacements. The shipping & handling amount is calculated based on your delivery address and communicated before the replacement is processed. No replacement will be shipped until payment is confirmed.
- One Replacement Per Product — Each product is eligible for one (1) warranty replacement. Once a replacement has been issued, the warranty for that product is considered fulfilled and no further replacements will be provided.
- Non-Transferable — This warranty applies solely to the original purchaser as verified by proof of purchase from docas.us. It is void upon resale or transfer of the product.
- Duration — This warranty is valid solely for the duration of Docas's active business operations. In the event that Docas ceases operations, is dissolved, or is otherwise no longer conducting business, all warranty obligations shall be considered fulfilled and no further claims will be accepted or honored.
How to File a Warranty Claim
- Email support@docas.us with the subject line: "Warranty Claim – Order #[your order number]"
- Include your original order number, a description of the defect, and clear photos or video demonstrating the issue
- Our team will review your claim and respond within 2–3 business days
- If approved, you will receive a payment link for the $9.00 processing fee plus shipping & handling
- Upon payment confirmation, your replacement will be dispatched within 1–5 business days
Warranty claims submitted without photos or video documentation of the defect will not be processed. Docas's assessment of the submitted evidence is final. Filing a chargeback or payment dispute of any kind — regardless of outcome — automatically and permanently voids this warranty with no possibility of reinstatement.
Updated or Newer Versions
Docas reserves the right to release updated, revised, or newer versions of any product at any time. The purchase of a product does not entitle the buyer to future versions, upgrades, or iterations unless explicitly stated at the time of purchase. A newer version of a product being released after your purchase date does not constitute grounds for a refund or exchange of any kind.
European Union — 14-Day Cooling Off Period
If merchandise is being shipped into the European Union, you have the right to cancel or return your order within 14 days for any reason and without justification. Your item must be in the same condition as received — unused, with tags, and in its original packaging — and you must provide the receipt or proof of purchase. Standard return fees and conditions outlined in this policy apply.
Chargeback & Dispute Notice
By purchasing from Docas, you agree to contact us directly at support@docas.us to resolve any dissatisfaction before initiating a chargeback or payment dispute with your bank or card issuer.
Docas maintains detailed records of all transactions, communications, delivery confirmations, and policy agreements. In the event of a chargeback, we will submit this policy — along with all available order and communication records — as evidence to the payment processor. Chargebacks filed on orders that are eligible for resolution under this policy may be disputed in full.
Policy Updates
Docas reserves the right to modify this policy at any time. The version in effect at the time of your purchase governs your order. We encourage customers to review this page before completing a purchase.
