If the label and the outside of the jar has been soiled by the spilled content of another broken jar, it’s not considered as a breakage because it’s content is still good.

The refund will be made on the same payment method that has been used during your transaction. Damaged products only will be refunded. The amount refunded takes into account any shipping fees or discount if it was applied on the transaction. It will be reimbursed proportionally to the number of broken jars.
