Exchange & Return Policy

At Fanoos AlHadeeth Trading Co., we aim to supply the correct products, specifications, and quantities required for every project. We understand that materials are often purchased based on technical specifications, project requirements, and approved product selections.

This explains the conditions and process for requesting an exchange, return, or refund for Products supplied by the Company.

1.1 General Policy

All exchange, return, and refund requests are reviewed by the Company based on the nature of the Product, the type of Order, the condition of the goods, and applicable KSA laws and regulations.

Products supplied against a confirmed quotation, purchase order, or project specification may be subject to specific commercial terms agreed with the Customer before the Order is confirmed — see Clause 1.4 (Procurement-Authorized & Contract Orders).

Nothing in this Policy affects any rights that cannot legally be excluded under the applicable laws and regulations of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

1.2 Return of Standard Products

For eligible standard Products, the Customer may request a return within seven (7) days of receiving the Product, provided that:

  • The product has not been used, installed, modified, or damaged.
  • The product remains in its original condition and packaging, where applicable.
  • All original accessories, documentation, labels, and components are included.
  • The product was not manufactured or modified specifically according to the Customer’s requirements.
  • The product is not otherwise excluded from return under applicable laws or regulations.

The return request must be submitted to the Company’s sales team together with the relevant order, invoice, or quotation details.

The seven (7)-day return right is subject to the applicable provisions and exceptions under KSA trade regulations.

1.3 Custom-Made & Fabricated Products

Products manufactured, fabricated, modified, or supplied according to the Customer’s specific dimensions, drawings, specifications, material requirements, or project requirements are generally not eligible for return or exchange due to a change of mind or a change in project requirements.

This includes custom-fabricated items such as:

  • Custom drain assemblies — floor drains, clean-outs, channel gratings, etc.
  • Custom bends & fittings — fabricated elbows, reducers, adaptors, etc.
  • Custom diameter/schedule — pipe and fittings having custom diameter or thickness.
  • Custom pipework — pipes cut to length, grooved, threaded, welded, etc.
  • Products with special coating or treatments.
  • PVC manholes or gully traps.
  • Products manufactured according to approved drawings or technical schedules.
  • Products with non-standard specifications and/or non-stock configurations.

KSA e-commerce regulations recognize an exception for products manufactured according to the consumer’s specifications.

Where a custom Product is supplied incorrectly due to an error on the Company’s part, the Company will review the matter and, where applicable, arrange correction, replacement, or another appropriate remedy.

1.4 Procurement-Authorized & Contract Orders

For Orders placed through a Request for Quotation (RFQ), purchase order, or other commercial agreement, the applicable exchange and return conditions may be specified in the relevant quotation, purchase order, sales agreement, or contract.

The Customer is responsible for reviewing product descriptions, quantities, dimensions, materials, technical specifications, and other requirements before confirming an Order.

Once an Order has entered production, fabrication, procurement, or dispatch, cancellation or return may be subject to additional conditions depending on the Product and the supplier.

Where the terms stated in a quotation, purchase order, contract, or project agreement conflict with this Policy, the terms of the signed commercial agreement shall prevail over this Policy to the extent permitted by applicable law, in accordance with the order of precedence set out in Clause 3.1.

1.5 Incorrect or Damaged Products

If the Customer receives a Product that is:

  • Different from the product ordered;
  • Incorrect in size, material, or specification due to the Company’s error;
  • Damaged before or during delivery;
  • Defective upon receipt; or
  • Missing required components,

the Customer should contact the Company as soon as possible.

The Company may request photographs, delivery information, order details, product specifications, or other documentation to assess the issue.

Where a Product is defective, adulterated, counterfeit, or otherwise does not meet applicable requirements, the Customer may have rights to return the Product and receive a refund under KSA consumer protection regulations.

1.6 Inspection of Returned Products

All returned Products may be inspected by the Company before an exchange or refund is approved. The inspection may include checking:

  • Product condition
  • Packaging
  • Product identification
  • Quantity
  • Accessories and components
  • Signs of installation or use
  • Damage or modification
  • Compliance with the original Order

Products that have been installed, altered, damaged through improper handling, or used contrary to their intended purpose may not qualify for return, where permitted by applicable law.

1.7 Exchange

Where an exchange is approved, the replacement Product will be subject to availability.

If the requested replacement Product has a different price, the difference may be payable by, or refundable to, the Customer, as applicable.

For project-specific or custom-fabricated Products, exchanges will be assessed individually based on the approved specifications and the reason for the exchange.

1.8 Refunds

Where a refund is approved, the Company will process the refund in accordance with applicable law and the payment method used for the transaction, where applicable.

Where a refund is approved and Value Added Tax (VAT) was charged on the original transaction, the refunded amount will include the applicable VAT, in accordance with KSA VAT regulations.

Refund timing may depend on:

  • Completion of the return inspection
  • Receipt of the returned Product
  • Payment method
  • Bank or payment-provider processing times
  • Any circumstances outside the Company’s reasonable control

For eligible cancelled transactions, KSA e-commerce regulations provide for the return of amounts paid within the applicable regulatory timeframe and through the same payment method, subject to the relevant provisions.

1.9 Delivery & Return Costs

Where a return or replacement is required because the Product supplied was incorrect, defective, or damaged before delivery, the Company will review the circumstances and determine the appropriate delivery or return arrangement.

Where a return is requested for reasons unrelated to a product defect or supplier error, all costs and expenses arising from or relating to any approved return or replacement — including but not limited to transportation, handling, loading, unloading, inspection, repackaging, and any applicable administrative charges — shall be borne exclusively by the Customer, where permitted by law and the agreed commercial terms.

For procurement Orders, delivery and return costs may also be governed by the relevant quotation, purchase order, or contract.

The Company’s liability in connection with any return, exchange, or refund under this Policy is, in all cases, subject to the general limitation of liability set out in Clause 3.5.

1.10 Non-Returnable Products

Subject to applicable KSA laws and regulations, Products may not be eligible for return where they:

  • Were manufactured specifically according to the Customer’s specifications;
  • Were custom fabricated or modified for a particular project;
  • Have been installed or used;
  • Have been altered or damaged after delivery;
  • Were ordered specifically for a project and cannot reasonably be resold; or
  • Are excluded from return under applicable laws or regulations.

This does not affect the Customer’s statutory rights regarding defective, counterfeit, or non-conforming Products.

1.11 Cancellation Before Dispatch

The Customer may contact the Company’s sales team to request cancellation before an Order is processed, fabricated, procured, or dispatched.

Whether a cancellation can be accepted will depend on the status of the Order and the applicable quotation, purchase order, or sales agreement.

For custom-made Products, once a drawing, sample, or product specification has been approved and production has started, no change, modification, or cancellation to the Order will be accepted.

Where the Company has incurred costs before a cancellation is accepted (for example, materials ordered or fabrication work performed), those costs may be charged to the Customer.

1.12 How to Request a Return or Exchange

To request a return, exchange, or refund, please contact the Company’s sales team and provide:

  • Customer name
  • Company name, where applicable
  • Order or quotation number
  • Product name
  • Quantity
  • Reason for the request
  • Photos or supporting documents, where relevant
  • Delivery details

The Company’s team will review the request and, on receipt of a complete request, aims to respond within 2–3 Business Days.

1.13 Product Availability & Replacement

Replacement Products are subject to availability.

If the original Product is no longer available, the Company may discuss an alternative product with the Customer where appropriate, subject to technical suitability and Customer approval.

For technical Products, the Customer should not substitute a product without confirming that the replacement meets the project’s required specification.

1.14 Customer Responsibility

The Customer is responsible for reviewing its product requirements before confirming an Order, including:

  • Product type
  • Quantity
  • Dimensions
  • Material
  • Technical specification
  • Applicable standards
  • Delivery location
  • Project requirements

For BOQs, drawings, schedules, and other technical documents submitted through an RFQ, the Customer is responsible for ensuring that the information provided is accurate and complete.
