RETURN Policy

Effective Date: March 13, 2021

Last Updated: June 23, 2025

At Cassar Performance & Design, every product we offer—whether a piece of branded merchandise or a precision-engineered performance part—is a reflection of our values: quality, legacy, and craftsmanship. We stand firmly behind everything we build and sell, and we inspect all items carefully to ensure they meet the high standards our name represents. That said, we recognize that there may be rare occasions when a return or exchange is necessary—whether due to an issue with sizing, an unexpected defect, or shipping-related damage. This policy has been created to clearly outline the conditions under which returns or exchanges are accepted, how to initiate the process, and what to expect from our team. We’ve crafted these guidelines to be fair, firm, and helpful—designed to protect both our customers and the integrity of our brand. By purchasing from CPD, customers agree to the terms below, which ensure a consistent, transparent, and respectful experience for all parties involved.
