RETURNS, EXCHANGES, & REPLACEMENTS
Returns, exchanges & replacements may be granted at the sole discretion of ASCEND. Clients have 30 days from the date of receiving their product to request a refund and 14 days from the date of starting the program to request a refund. To be eligible for a return, your item must be unused and in the same condition that you received it. It must also be in the original packaging. The refund for returns will be for the value of the returned items, less the cost of your return shipping label, which will be deducted from your refund. If your item arrived damaged, please email us a photo of the damage, and we will issue a replacement.
ASCEND reserves the right to refuse to issue returns or exchanges for any reason at its sole discretion. ASCEND is not responsible if users are sent duplicate products due to having multiple accounts with ASCEND. Returning a product to ASCEND without authorization will not result in a refund, and you will be responsible for any additional shipping charges that are incurred by ASCEND as a result. Users agree not to refuse shipments from ASCEND. Refusing a shipment for any reason will not result in the cancellation of an order or a program, nor will it trigger a refund. ASCEND assumes no responsibility and liability for any refused shipments, and additional shipping charges may apply.

We are unable to update address information once a shipment is in transit. It is the responsibility of the clients to follow up with the carrier to update address information once a shipment is in transit.

No waiver by ASCEND of any term or condition outlined in these Terms of Service shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or condition or a waiver of any other term or condition, and any failure of ASCEND to assert a right or provision under these Terms of Service shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.
