REKLAIM Limited Authenticity Guarantee
We understand having a guarantee of authenticity is a major concern when purchasing a pre-owned luxury good. Indeed, the most critical factor in a customer purchase of a pre-owned luxury good is TRUST in the retailer, that is trust in the reputability of the retailer and their ability to guarantee authenticity and the sale of a non-counterfeit item.
REKLAIM is committed to selling only authentic items and stands behind the items by providing its REKLAIM Certificate of Authentication. Authenticity of any item certified by REKLAIM is backed by its Financial Guarantee for one-year from the initial date of purchase.
REKLAIM Certificate of Authentication services for purchased items (Items) are undertaken by third party authenticators and REKLAIM. The authenticators are highly qualified independent experts who conduct a strict multi-point inspection and thoroughly assess the Item’s authenticity and conformity to the Item’s listing details. More particularly, the authenticator performs a rigorous multi-point physical authentication inspection which is undertaken focusing on assessment of all elements and components of each luxury good. Notwithstanding, the Item is covered by this Limited Authenticity Guarantee against defects in authenticity.
Original brand manufacturers do not endorse, sponsor or have any connection to REKLAIM or the REKLAIM authentication process. The authenticators do not have
any connection with and are not sponsored or endorsed by the original brand manufacturer.
If a written determination has been made that a REKLAIM Item protected by a REKLAIM Certificate of Authentication may not be authentic, please open a request per our dispute process detailed below.
Once your dispute request is approved, we will complete the dispute process as promptly as possible, typically within ten (10) business days after the disputed Item is received by REKLAIM.
REKLAIM Item Eligibility Requirements:
In order for any item to be eligible for a financial refund through the REKLAIM Certificate of Authentication program, you will be required to present the following:

REKLAIM Dispute Process:

Once the dispute is accepted, REKLAIM will supply you with a shipping label for you to return the Item to us.
During the dispute process, REKLAIM will re-authenticate the Item and will also have the Item authenticated by one, or multiple (depending on the claim value of the Item being disputed), independent authenticators.
If the Item is deemed authentic as a result of the dispute process, you will be charged the cost of shipping both to REKLAIM and from REKLAIM back to you.
If the Item is deemed non-authentic as a result of the dispute process, REKLAIM will issue a Financial Guarantee Payment to you in the full amount paid for the Item in the original purchase receipt. REKLAIM will then retain possession of the Item if payment on the claim is made.
