Criteria to Return an Item

A return must be logged within 30 days from the date of order delivery. All products can only be accepted if they are in re-saleable condition, with the original label or hangtag still attached and the product in its original packaging. Any free promotional gift or accompanying item must also be included in the return. Due to hygienic reasons, swimwear, face masks, face coverings, underwear, and modesty items cannot be returned or exchanged unless there is a material fault or a manufacturing defect. Should your item be defective, please refer to Section 1.2.

What Is the Return Policy?

Returns and withdrawal policy for items purchased at the Paragon Sports Online Shop and/or American Man Sportswear. To return your products, please contact Customer Services to request a return and ensure that you follow these instructions on how to return a product. We kindly ask you to also meet the following conditions:

The product is in its original state and packaging.
Apparel must have the original tags attached.
Accessories must include all parts of the original packaging.
Footwear must be in the original shoe box.

What is the return policy for face covers?
If the face cover package is not opened, our normal return policy applies to this product. However, if the product package has been opened, it is not returnable, exchangeable, or refundable due to health protection reasons, unless there is a manufacturing defect. We accept returns within 30 days from the date of order delivery.

Requests for refunds of any article bought at a wholesale partner or other Paragon Sports authorized resellers will not be accepted or approved. If you purchase products from one of our authorized resellers, please get in touch with them, as they have their own return policies. Should your item be defective, please refer to Section 1.2.

1.1 Exchange/Returns Policy

Paragon Sports may exchange or refund products that have been bought, provided that the product is returned in its original packaging, has not been worn, damaged, or used in any manner whatsoever. Products must be returned within a period of 30 days from the date of purchase with the original receipt accompanying the product as proof of purchase.

Refunds will only be processed if the product is returned in accordance with the above specifications, and the refund will be allocated in the same manner the transaction transpired, i.e.:

If the item was purchased with a card, it will be refunded to the same card used to purchase the item. Under no circumstances will we refund any purchase price to a different card than the one used for payment in the original transaction.
If the payment was made in cash, it will be refunded in cash.
If the payment was made by debit card, it will be refunded in cash.

1.2 Damaged or Defective Products

For Paragon Sports, quality is paramount. We thoroughly test all our products in real-life conditions to ensure they are fully capable of standing up to the uses for which they were designed. It is extremely rare for our products to be damaged or defective. Paragon Sports has a legal obligation to ensure that our products conform to the sales contract.

Returned products are inspected by the Paragon Sports Quality Assurance Department and refunded/exchanged if the damage is the result of a manufacturing defect or is considered unsafe or inferior quality insofar as the product is damaged during normal wear within 6 months from the date of purchase. We undertake to fully refund the cost of any defective or damaged product, provided that the aforementioned terms are complied with.

If the problem was caused by reasons other than materials quality or the assembly process, the original product is returned to you. We do not refund products that were:

Obtained from a source other than Paragon Sports and/or American Man Sportswear.
Damaged by abuse or negligence (exposure to chemicals, caustic substances, open flame, high heat, sharp objects, etc.).
Damaged by misuse or activities other than the intended purpose (use of running shoes for court sports or hiking footwear as work boots, etc.).
Not cared for according to the wash/care instruction labels.
Damaged during the inflation process, be it the inflating valve being dropped inside the ball or due to incorrectly inflating the product (relating to all sports balls).
Punctured by any external force (relating to all sports balls).

Please note that the life expectancy of any Paragon Sports product depends on the individual using the product, the conditions of use, and the characteristic wear patterns of the user. Our products damaged by normal wear and tear or that have exceeded the reasonable lifespan of the product are not replaced.

1.3 Returns of Defective/Faulty Products Process

Defective products can be returned in-store within a period of 6 months from the date of purchase. Alternatively, you can contact our team, who will facilitate a return or exchange as circumstances allow at the time. A “Defective Product” is one that contains a material imperfection in the manufacture or design that renders the product less acceptable, useful, or safe than reasonably expected, under the circumstances. A product is in a defective condition if it is dangerous to the user or to the consumer when used in the prescribed way and/or for the purpose for which it was manufactured or designed to be used. The product must be defective in itself (due to manufacture or design fault) and not damaged due to inappropriate use.

When returning a product after the 30-day standard returns period, a customer must provide full reasons for alleging that the product is defective, including stating how the product was utilized during the period that it was in the customer’s possession. Please note that the life expectancy of any Paragon Sports product depends on the individual using the product, the conditions of use, and the characteristic wear patterns of the user. Our products damaged by normal wear and tear or that have exceeded the reasonable lifespan of the product are not replaced.
