If the Customer chooses to exchange for a more expensive item via the standard exchange (not instant exchange) and requests a refund for another item from the same order, the price difference between the two items will be deducted from the amount refunded.

If the item to be refunded is returned in poor condition and cannot be resold, the exchange for the other item will be canceled. The item intended for exchange will then be refunded, and the defective item will not be refunded and may be returned to the Customer at their expense.
