Returns

Given the custom nature of all of our products, orders cannot be canceled and refunded once the order has been placed. We are a small business, making everything by hand, donating a percentage of each sale to local rescue efforts. Thank you for your support & understanding. 

If the order is canceled, the customer will receive store credit for the amount of the purchase. The store credit will be automatically sent to the email address in the customer's account from "Rise".

All heat-stamped items are final sale.

Due to the handmade nature of every item, we do not accept returns. Should there be an issue of craftsmanship or functionality, please do reach out via email at beauandnora.com. 

Given a unique situation where we accept your return request, a 20% fee will be applied for every exchanged item. Buyer will also be responsible for return shipping to & from for the exchange. This will be in the form of the buyer paying the invoice for a return label and associated fees sent by Beau & Nora. Once the invoice is paid, the buyer will receive a return label to their email within 24-48 hours. The buyer is to print out the label, package the item in the same condition it was in at delivery, and drop it off to USPS. 

Items will only be accepted within 7 days of date of delivery, in the same condition as it was received. 

In the event the item is returned used, the item will not be accepted and the exchanged item will not be sent.

It is best to hand wash the BioThane products with mild (bleach-free) soap and water as needed. If there is a peculiar scent, you may use a diluted white vinegar solution to rinse the gear with, then mild soap and water.

We recommend letting the gear air dry completely before placing back on your dog. This will ensure the dog's neck doesn't become exposed to an opportunistic microbes. It will also extend the life of certain metals used for the hardware.

Please note, martingales, metal buckles, etc are not solid brass; This means they likely contain a metal alloy (likely mixed with iron) that is susceptible to corrosion. Proper maintenance with gentle cleaning with mild soap, warm water and proper drying with a cloth will help extend the life of these items.
These items will not be replaced due to corrosion, normal wear and tear, etc. Please be sure this type of metal is best for you and your dog.

Lemon juice is an excellent cleaner for solid brass hardware to help prevent the inevitable patina. The discoloration will wash off (if it occurs), and can be avoided again with regular cleaning. 

UV light may fade the colors if they are left out in the sun for extended periods. 

Please note any insect repellents (especially DEET containing products, heartworm preventative, etc) may stain the materials; It is recommened to take the gear off before putting on these susbstances.

We recommend using a DEET-free/all natural insect repellent to ensure your gear does not become stained.
