DEFECTS & REPAIRS:

On rare occasions, items may develop problems that appear AFTER you have danced in them. As explained above, there are NO REFUNDS for used shoes.  That said, WORLDTONE does its best to protect its clients by providing its own internal warranty coverage.  Please note neither WORLDTONE nor its manufacturers will consider an easily repairable, non-structural problem to be indication of a manufacturer defect. But, if a problem should occur within the first 90 days of purchase, WORLDTONE will do its best to remedy the problem, but reserves the right to:

  • Repair the product locally – at no cost to you
  • Return the product to the original manufacturer for repair or replacement
  • Issue a partial or full Store Credit at WORLDTONE’s discretion
  • Reject the request if WORLDTONE believes the problem was caused by normal wear & tear or customer misuse

NOTE: Acceptance of the item by our staff does not constitute agreement to repair or replace the item.  Repairs or other resolutions may require management and/or manufacturer approval or may require repairs that are NOT done on the premises & CANNOT be done instantly. Do not expect to get instant exchanges/repairs; the process can take several days.
