3. Eligibility and Account Security
You must be at least 18 years old, or the age of legal majority in your jurisdiction, to use our services. By creating an account, you confirm that you meet this requirement.

Our services are intended for personal and non-commercial use unless explicitly agreed otherwise. You must provide accurate and complete information when creating an account or placing an order. You agree not to misuse our services, including but not limited to attempting unauthorized access to our systems or using our platform for unlawful activities.

8. Returns and Refunds
Due to the hygienic nature of reeds, ReedFinder does not accept returns or exchanges, except in cases where the product is damaged during shipping or arrives defective.

To analyze, measure, and recommend reeds accurately, any seals or protective packaging elements of the original manufacturer’s packaging may be removed prior to resale. For this reason, reeds are not considered factory-sealed upon delivery.

If your item arrives damaged or defective, you must notify us within 14 days of delivery by contacting info@reedfinder.com. Upon verification, we will offer a replacement or refund at our discretion.

This policy is in accordance with EU Directive 2011/83/EU, Article 16(e), regarding hygiene-sensitive goods.

12. Service Modifications and Termination
