(i) Promotions:
Unless otherwise stated, any MagikFlame product purchased or obtained through an applicable promotion shall be subject to all terms and conditions stated within this Terms of Sale, with particular attention to: Customer Freight Inspection Obligations (Section 3 above) and Non-Defective Product Returns Policy and Procedure (Section 4). Please review these sections and these Terms of Sale carefully to understand your obligations and our expectations when interacting with our products and services.
(ii) Non-Defective Product Returns Policy and Procedure:
If you are not completely satisfied with your purchase from MagikFlame for any reason, subject to the aforementioned 20% restocking fee and other such provisions, we will accept a return of the products for a refund of your purchase price, less the shipping and handling costs, provided such return is made within 30 days of delivery with valid proof of purchase and provided such products are returned in their original condition (a “Non-Defective Return”) and in their original packaging. Our evaluation of the condition governs this policy provision.
(a) Returns will only be accepted after our evaluation of product condition confirms that (a) products returned are in their original saleable form, and (b) is packed only in original packaging.
(b) Items must be placed back in the packaging using the same materials and methods as we used when we shipped the product to protect against possible damage in transit back to our facility.
(c) We are not responsible for items that arrive broken due to improper packing or damage by you or the freight company. You are liable for all return shipping costs.
(d) To initiate a Non-Defective Return, you must call 615-844-3330 or email our Returns Department at support@magikflame.com to obtain a “return authorization” before shipping your product back. No returns of any type will be accepted without prior written authorization. If you choose to email us, write “REFUND REQUEST” (without quotation marks) in the email subject line so that we can identify and process the request. Please include your order number and a copy of your invoice with the returned merchandise to ensure that you receive credit.
(e) You are responsible for all shipping and handling charges on returned items. You bear the risk of loss during shipment. We therefore strongly recommend that you fully insure your return shipment against loss or damage and that you use a carrier that can provide you with proof of delivery for your protection. We recommend shipping with FedEx (not UPS) for Inserts and a reliable freight company (LTL) for mantle purchases. You can use the websites freightquote.com or uship.com to find a carrier in your area. Note that when shipping back mantel packages the boxes must be secured to the pallet using shrink wrap, and the original pallet must be used (i.e. Our pallets are custom-built for the size of the shipping boxes). We are not responsible for damages if you or the freight company do not use or use the wrong pallet or do not shrink-wrap the contents.
(f) All orders must be returned in the original packaging (including all accessories: hardware, glass, remotes, brackets, etc.) and in “like new” re-saleable condition, with no exceptions. Please keep the boxes and foam packing materials for reuse. Products returned in anything other than the original packaging will be refused and shipped back to you at your expense. MagikFlame is not responsible for any damage that may occur while products are in transit back to us. Damaged products will not be refunded.
- Returning a Fireplace Mantel Package: Mantels cannot be returned once opened and/or assembled. Customer will incur a $500 fee for any opened or assembled mantels. MagikFlame reserves the right to refuse open mantel shipments. We recommend FedEx Freight LTL Economy for the best service.
- Returning a Fireplace Insert: We recommend FedEx Ground (NOT UPS) for the best service [with insurance].
(g) Any product returned to us damaged (either by you or the freight company) is not eligible for a refund and will not be issued. In the case of damage by the freight carrier, it is your responsibility to file a freight claim with the carrier. We will at our discretion provide photographic evidence of the damage to the shipping box and of the product itself to you, so that you can file a freight claim directly (as the shipper).
(h) Our claim as to the condition of the returned merchandise will govern this policy provision. You will need to provide your original commercial invoice from us to the carrier and notify them that the product is a “total loss”. You will need to collect your refund from the freight carrier directly, as we only offer refunds on units that are sent back to us in the same “like new” condition as we sent it to you.
(i) At your discretion we can 1) ship the damaged item back to you at your expense 2) dispose of the item. Please notify us which option you would like by writing to support@magikflame.com.
“Items returned in non-resellable condition will be held for 30 calendar days from the date of receipt. After that period the item will be discarded, recycled, or otherwise disposed of at MagikFlame’s sole discretion. Title reverts to MagikFlame once the 30-day period expires.”
(j) If a chargeback is filed outside of the 30-day return window, no refund will be issued.
(k) Refunds will be granted according to policy within 30 days. If a chargeback is filed and you lose, you will be outside of the return window and we will not issue a refund. You will be responsible for 50% of the total order value plus any legal and chargeback fees.
(iii) How To Pack A Return Freight Shipment:
(a) The mantel, log set, and insert must be re-packed in the original packaging material the same way it was received. The glass must go back in its original box (with foam) and be secured to the back of the insert using the included “cardboard box holder” as provided. Do not put loose parts inside the insert or log box without securing them (IE: remote control), as this could cause damage to parts or accessories in transit back to us.
(b) Repack the items using clear packing tape only; use of duct tape or other packaging materials will incur a $100 surcharge.
(c) Use tie straps and/or plastic shrink wrap to secure all boxes to the pallet to prevent shifting in transit, just as it was shipped to you.
(d) Mantels must contain all panels and assembly hardware to be considered complete. Be sure to re-pack the mantel as it was shipped to you with foam in between each layer (to prevent scratching in transit) and be sure to include all hardware accessories and the mantel manual inside the mantel box and not inside the insert box. If parts are missing or damaged upon return, we may refuse to issue a refund in accordance with Section 4(a) of this Terms of Sale.
(e) Unless otherwise specified, all non-defective returns are subject to a 20% Restocking Fee. This is calculated based on the total order value, including shipping (E.g. Total Order Value – 20% – Shipping = Return Value). The fee covers the costs we incur by testing all returned non-defective units and replacing packaging materials. After the products (including all accessories) are returned undamaged, they are inspected and tested, and a refund will be issued via the original method of payment (minus shipping and restocking fees).
(f) Effect of Promotions and Discounts on Non-Defective Returns:
From time to time, MagikFlame may offer promotional discounts, coupon codes, or other incentives that reduce the total purchase price. These discounts may appear on your invoice to offset, in whole or in part, the listed shipping charge (for example, a $250 discount that coincides with a $250 shipping fee).
Please note that for all non-defective returns, any promotional discounts or coupon codes applied to the original purchase become null and void.
Shipping and handling are non-refundable third-party services that have already been rendered once your order is delivered. Therefore, the full, original, non-discounted shipping cost—for example, $250 for an MagikFlame Insert or $500 for a DragonBlaze Insert or $500 for a MagikFlame mantel package—will be deducted from your refund, regardless of any discount or promotion applied at the time of your original purchase.
(g) Returned items will be tested for functionality, returned parts and damage before a credit is issued. Refunds will not be issued if original parts are missing as this would constitute a “non-complete” return. Be sure to include all original hardware when returning.
(h) Refunds are processed within approximately five (5) business days of our receipt and inspection of your merchandise. Your refund will be credited back to the same payment method used to make the original purchase on the Website. We do not offer refunds via check or bank transfers, only to your original payment method.
(iv) Defective Part Return Policy and Procedure
(v) If you believe a MagikFlame part is defective, you must contact technical support first so that we may identify any potential issue(s). If technical support determines that further inspection is required, we will send you a return label to return the part(s) in question at our expense. Upon receiving the part(s), the technical team will diagnose and determine whether the part is defective. If determined defective, we reserve the right to replace the defective part(s) free of charge. It is your responsibility to notify us in writing including photo images within five days of delivery regarding any broken parts (e.g. glass). After this time period, we are not responsible for replacing broken parts. Replacement parts can be purchased at customer’s expense.
(a) We provide phone tech support, free of charge, to guide you in swapping out any potential defective part(s). Our fireplaces do not require a professional to work on. MagikFlame will not replace entire units for a simple defective part that can be swapped out by the end user. MagikFlame will not do onsite repairs.
(b) If you do not want defective parts replaced and would rather return the MagikFlame product, we will, at our discretion, waive the 20% Restocking Fee. You are still responsible for the cost of shipping the order to you (even if it was purchased with a free shipping promotion) and for the cost of return shipping via our recommended shipping methods (it is recommended that you insure your shipments): FedEx Ground for Inserts or LTL freight for mantels.
(vi) Important Information about the HoloFlame Insert:
(a) MagikFlame’s HoloFlame 28″ insert uses holographic glass with a special optical coating that makes it highly reflective. Please be aware that bright ceiling lights and light from windows may be visibly reflected on the glass. The HoloFlame insert looks best in dim lighting, and away from bright light sources. Like any electric fireplace, MagikFlame is best viewed from straight on; it does not look as realistic when viewed from a diagonal or side angle. Enjoy your MagikFlame from a seated position, 6-8 feet away from the firebox, and facing directly towards the insert to reduce the reflections from other light sources. We recommend elevating the Insert up, off of the floor by several (5-9″) inches for best performance. Do not place the Insert directly on the ground as this affects the desired viewing angle. Standing above the Insert looking down on it, and/or viewing from extreme side angles will not result in optimal appearance. It’s best viewed from a couch or seated position several feet away from the viewable area. Please consider the reflective nature of the glass and your interior lighting scheme before ordering and call us if you have any questions.
(b) Due to the nature of the optical holographic technology, some customers have reported the flames appear to be coming from “behind” the logs and not “on them” as pictured on the site. This cannot be reproduced in photographs/video and does not constitute a defective unit. The glass in which the video is projected is physically in front of the log set, and therefore the flames cannot be behind the logs. Please note that there is a mechanical light effect that does emit from the back of the log set to the interior of the fireplace insert, but this is not part of our holographic technology and is there to create ambiance only for realism.
(c) Furthermore, there is some text that will appear both backward and upside down when initially turning the fireplace on and off and sometimes while selecting different “input” modes or “scaling” options. Normally this text is not meant to be read, as all controls from the touchscreen/app are NOT written backward. This is due to the reflective nature of glass and our technology, and any text written backward/upside down is not considered defective, as this is an optical effect (IE: The reason why the word “Ambulance” is written backward on the vehicle so it can be read in your rear-view mirror when driving; it’s the same thing and is the nature of bouncing and reflected light.
(d) Any returns requested due to a customer’s dissatisfaction or change of mind regarding the cosmetic/reflective nature of an otherwise fully functioning HoloFlame Insert glass are considered Non-Defective Product Returns and may only be returned in accordance with Section 4(a) of this Terms of Sale.
(e) MagikFlame does not ship replacement or additional instruction manuals. Please keep your original document.
(f) Do not remove any warning labels from the unit as it could void any return.
(g) A MagikFlame fireplace has 30 unique flame settings that offer a variety of styles and effects. Some flames may not appear to be coming from in front of the logs; others appear to be coming from behind the logs. For the most realistic experience, choose flame effects that come from in front of and on top of the logs (in accordance with the “Flame optimization” steps in the instruction manual). We suggest setting the fireplace as follows:
- Make sure the logs turn on and off completely when you press the orange circle on the power menu from the touchscreen or app. If the logs do not turn on and off completely when you press the orange circle, call tech support for assistance in syncing the logs, or refer to the troubleshooting section of your printed instruction manual.
- Find the campfire flame style that has flames coming only from the center of the logs, and has smoke blowing from left to right (not straight up; there is only one flame like this.)
- On the menu, choose the next flame to the right of the campfire flame. This is the flame shown on the website/cover of the instruction manual and in most videos and images on the website.
