You may cancel or modify an order placed with the Service prior to the shipment or placement of the order.

If an ordered product does not arrive to a destination within the continental United States within a month of the order without notice of justifiable delay on behalf of Mala Girl, or if an ordered product arrives damaged, broken, or otherwise defective, Mala Girl will work with you to address whatever issue you may have. Generally, Mala Girl will refund you the full price of your order or provide a replacement product, provided that you provide Mala Girl with (i) notice of the defect and (ii) a description of the defect, including as required, evidence of such defect, within a week of your receipt of the product.
