ORDERS
KURU does not sell products to children. KURU only sells products to adults, ages 18 years and older, who can purchase them with a credit card. KURU reserves the right to refuse service, terminate accounts, remove or edit content, or cancel orders in its sole discretion, including, without limitation, if KURU believes that user conduct violates applicable law or is harmful to the interests of KURU or its affiliates.
KURU does not guarantee that product on the webstore is in stock. All orders are subject to product availability. A product SKU, Style, and/or color that is listed on the Site, and available to add to the shopping cart, is not guaranteed in stock. All orders are subject to available inventory after the order is placed.
Once submitted, an order cannot be cancelled. All order returns and exchanges require an RA number. Product that has been worn, is not in brand new condition, or cannot be re-sold, cannot be returned for a refund or exchange. If an item ordered through the Site is out of stock, on backorder, or no longer available, KURU reserves the right to cancel the order with no recourse.
Orders are subject to product availability. Product in the store is not guaranteed in stock. The pricing listed on this Site includes the resale of all packaging including the inner box and shipping box to you, the customer.

Should you want to return or exchange a purchase, you may do so per the terms of the KURU Exchange & Return Policy. KURU is not responsible for the cost of return shipping. Product that is returned for refund or exchange must be returned in brand-new, re-saleable condition and must not show any signs of wear.
