Dear Customer,
I have checked your itemized bill. I have found that, the model of shades that you have
purchased is actually made for a place where there is less humidity. This information was already
provided in the tags attached with the shades. According to the information printed on the tag,
the shade is 64 inches long by 32 inches wide. Moreover the tags attached with these types of
shades contain a warning message. It is evident from the warning message that, the fabric used in
these shades is imported. The warning message states that, the fabric is of good quality and may
get damaged, if used in the areas of high humidity, for example- bathroom windows. Hence, it is

clear from the warning message printed on the tags that, these shades are not suitable for
bathroom windows. Bathroom windows are smaller as compared to other windows in a house.
Hence, bathroom windows will require a smaller shade. You should have realized that at the time
of purchasing such a larger window shade. Also, it would be better, if you would have read the
instructions provided on the tag attached with the shades, before making purchasing decisions. It
is true, that you had no intention to damage the product, but the colors of the shades have been
faded due to the existence of a high level of humidity in your bathroom. As you are our loyal
customer for several years, we will love to see you satisfied and happy as well. Hence, the
company values your problem more than the damage in the product caused unintentionally. This
is the reason why we have decided to refund the amount you have paid for the model of shades.
The amount which will be refunded to you is $74.32.
