Exchange, Repair or Return

As defined by (Dutch) law, the provisions in the law “Buying at a distance", (‘Wet Kopen op Afstand’) apply on our products. Distance selling protects consumers who purchase goods and services at a distance, in other words with no face-to-face contact. The so-called “cooling off period”, 14 days, which is legally termed “distance purchase” also applies on our products. During this period you can judge by yourself if the product(s) measures your wishes.

If you want to revoke or cancel your order, you are obliged to return the product, in a reasonable state, to us with all accessories and in its original state and packing. Return costs are for your own account.

Warranty.

You can count on us in case your purchase becomes defective within the warranty period. If applicable the defective product will be repaired or if necessary replaced by Chaya handpan. If the warranty period has expired, don’t worry we are also there for you, to find a suitable solution.

Regarding Handpans.

Handpans are very sensitive instruments. They have to be handled and played properly and correctly. When handled and played correctly, a HandPan should not go and remain “out of tune”.
We offer 12 months warranty on “tuning” under normal use and circumstances. When the warranty period is expired we are also there for you, acting as a reasonable and fair company.
Retuning a HandPan is part of normal maintenance, just like a piano needs to be tuned once in a while. How often a HandPan needs to be retuned depends on various factors. For example the type of metal it is made of. However, the owner and player of the HandPan is the most crucial factor. Proper maintenance and how and at what frequency the HandPan is played. Neither the manufacturer of the HandPan or we can’t do anything if maintenance is improper.
