Refund and Returns Policy

Last Updated: 13 May 2025

1. Overview

Thank you for supporting the Narcissistic Abuse Foundation (“NAF”). Every purchase you make — whether merchandise, an event ticket, or a donation — directly supports our mission to raise awareness of narcissistic abuse and support those affected by it.

This policy sets out our approach to refunds and returns. Your statutory consumer rights under the laws of your jurisdiction are not affected by this policy.

2. Merchandise — Online Store

2.1 Damaged or Defective Items

If your item arrives damaged, defective, or materially different from its description, please contact us within 14 days of receiving your order. To process your claim, please:

  • Email us at the address listed in Section 6 of this policy
  • Include your order number
  • Provide a brief description of the issue
  • Attach photographs of the damage or defect where possible

Upon verification, we will either send a replacement at no additional cost or provide a full refund to your original payment method via Stripe, at our discretion.

2.2 Incorrect Orders

If you receive the wrong item, please contact us within 14 days of delivery with your order number and details of the discrepancy. We will arrange for the correct item to be sent at no extra charge, or offer a full refund if the correct item is unavailable.

2.3 Change of Mind

As a non-profit society, we are generally unable to accept returns or issue refunds for change of mind. We encourage you to review product descriptions and sizing information carefully before purchasing. If you have questions about a product before buying, please get in touch — we are happy to help.

2.4 Non-Delivery

If your order has not arrived within the estimated delivery window, please contact us and we will investigate with our fulfilment partner. If the item is confirmed lost in transit, we will issue a replacement or full refund. Estimated delivery windows from dispatch are:

  • Canada: 5 to 10 business days
  • United States: 7 to 14 business days
  • United Kingdom: 7 to 14 business days
  • Mexico: 10 to 21 business days

These are estimates only and may be affected by factors outside our control, including customs clearance and postal disruptions.

2.5 Return Shipping

Where a return is required (e.g. for a defective item), we will provide return instructions and cover the cost of return shipping in most cases. We will not ask you to return an item where the cost of return shipping would be disproportionate to the item’s value.

3. Event Tickets

3.1 Event Cancelled by NAF

If NAF cancels an event, you are entitled to a full refund of the ticket price. Refunds will be issued to the original payment method via Stripe within 14 business days of the cancellation being announced. We will notify all ticket holders as soon as possible after a cancellation decision is made.

3.2 Event Rescheduled or Significantly Changed

If an event is rescheduled or its format changes significantly (e.g. change of venue city, or a change from in-person to online), we will notify ticket holders promptly and offer the choice of:

  • Retaining your ticket for the rescheduled or amended event
  • Receiving a full refund to your original payment method

3.3 Customer Cancellation

Tickets are non-refundable if you are unable to attend. However, you may transfer your ticket to another named individual. To arrange a transfer, please contact us at least 48 hours before the event with your booking reference and the name and contact details of the new attendee.

In exceptional personal circumstances, please contact us and we will consider your request on a case-by-case basis. We will always try to be reasonable.

4. Donations

All donations to NAF are final and non-refundable, in keeping with standard non-profit practice.

If a donation was made in clear error (for example, a duplicate transaction or an unintended amount), please contact us within 7 days of the transaction with the date, amount, and a brief explanation. We will review all such requests in good faith and, where an error is confirmed, will arrange a refund where possible via Stripe.

5. Processing Times

Approved refunds are processed within 10 business days of our confirmation to you. The time for the funds to appear in your account depends on your bank or card provider, but is typically 3 to 5 additional business days following our processing.

6. Your Statutory Consumer Rights

This policy is in addition to, and does not limit, your rights under applicable consumer protection legislation in your country, including:

  • Canada: Consumer protection legislation of the applicable province or territory
  • United States: Federal Trade Commission regulations and applicable state consumer protection laws
  • United Kingdom: Consumer Rights Act 2015 and Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013
  • Mexico: Ley Federal de Protección al Consumidor (Federal Consumer Protection Law)
