In most cases, upon request NGI will inform you of the tracking number you may use to track your shipment. You are responsible for any duty, tax or VAT that may be charged in your country, but NGI at its sole discretion may offer you assistance in providing information or documentation to any competent customs authority making such a request.

5.1.2. Defective Tangibles: If you find within 30 days of delivery of a Tangible that it is defective, you should contact NGI at service@vstroker.com. You will have two options: (1) If you wish to continue to use the Vstroker, NGI will resolve the issue if possible and may elect at its sole discretion to replace the Tangible with a new one. (2) If you wish you may return the defective Tangible to NGI at an address NGI will provide to you, but you must ship the Tangible back to us within 30 days of the date it was delivered to you. If you return a defective Tangible to us, NGI will test the Tangible and if NGI can confirm that it is defective, NGI will refund to your credit card the purchase price of that item and the Shipping Cost of that item. A Vstroker will not be considered defective if your computer, operating system, hard drive or any other aspect of your system’s setup does not meet the minimum requirements to use the Vstroker as noted on NGI’s web site and in the instruction pamphlet provided in your Vstroker box.

5.1.3. Return of Tangibles: If you have not opened a Tangible, you may return it to us within 30 days of the date it was delivered to you and NGI will refund to your credit card the purchase price of that item but not the Shipping Cost.
