Returns policy

PRODUCT RETURNS

The Company is supportive of e-Commerce and through the full descriptions of the products on the site it gives you the opportunity to enjoy direct contact with the products available on your computer screen, quickly and easily. Due to the nature of e-shopping, it is not unusual for the chosen product not to meet the final recipient’s expectations as they have not been able to see the product before purchasing.

However, we want to offer our customers more and, to highlight the benefits of using the internet for our everyday purchases, we give customers the opportunity to return products. The terms and conditions for returning defective or non-defective products are given below.

Product Returns due to delivery error

In all cases where items other than those purchased are delivered, whether the type of item or the quantity is incorrect, the customer should return the products so that they can be inspected and the error can be confirmed. In this case, the costs of returning the products to the company and the costs of returning them to the customer are borne by the Company provided the items are returned using the method proposed by the company.

Return of defective products

If it is established that there is a manufacturing defect in the sold item and the defect is in a replaceable part of the product, if this is confirmed by the authorised repairer who provides the guarantee of good operation, or when the Company itself provides the guarantee of good operation directly, then these parts will be replaced and the product will be returned to you free of charge.

The product to be replaced should be returned together with all the documents that accompanied the product (eg Retail Receipt Etc.) and it should be returned in its full packaging. Please note that products must be returned within 14 calendar days. If this deadline has expired the Company reserves the right to refuse to accept a product that has been returned at the expense of the Company without prior consultation.

The products should be returned by a courier company. The costs of returning the products to the company, as well as the costs of return to the customer, are borne by the Company, providing products to be replaced or repaired are returned using the method proposed by the company.

If the returned products are damaged or incomplete, the Company has the right to request compensation from the customer, the amount of which will be determined by the condition of the products, and to proceed unilaterally and without any other party, to offset of this claim fully or partially against the customer.

Return of non-defective products – Customer’s right to withdraw without justification

The CUSTOMER has the right to withdraw from the purchase contract within a period of 14 calendar days from the date of delivery, even when there are multiple products in the same order and then within 14 days from the delivery of the last product, or, when there is an obligation to deliver products at regular intervals, within 14 days from the delivery of the first product.

The customer can withdraw under the following conditions:

This withdrawal is free of charge and does not have to be justified. If the item has already been delivered, the customer must return the product exactly in the condition in which it was received, with all its parts, the accompanying forms and with its packaging in excellent condition.

The return of the item will only be accepted if the buyer has first paid any amount paid by the company for delivering the item to the customer and the shipping costs for the return of the item.

The declaration of withdrawal is exercised in writing or electronically and the Company is obliged to send a confirmation of receipt of the declaration of withdrawal as soon as it receives it.

Following the declaration of withdrawal, the Company is obliged to return the price paid by the consumer within a maximum of 14 days from receipt of the products. Shipping/delivery costs are non-refundable.

The refund to the customer will be made by the same means by which the initial payment was made. Specifically, in the case of debit by credit card,  the refund is made as follows: if by the time the customer withdraws and returns the item the cost of the item has been paid to the Company by the Bank, the Company will be obliged to inform the Bank about the cancellation of the transaction and the bank will proceed on the basis of the contract concluded with the client. After informing the bank, the company does not bear any responsibility for the time and manner in which the return is made as this is regulated by the aforementioned contract between the customer and the bank.

If payment was made by bank transfer the return will also be made by bank transfer to the same customer account.

The customer is responsible for compensating the company if they used the product in any way other than that  necessary to determine the nature, characteristics and function of the goods before making the withdrawal declaration.

The determination of the nature, characteristics and function of the goods should be made on the basis of the information provided on the outer packaging of each product, as well as the additional information provided by the company and, in all cases, without opening the product packaging or using the goods.

The company is willing to give the customer information on any questions about the nature and operation of the products and will provide additional information electronically or in another manner.

If the packaging has been opened or the product has been used, its value is automatically reduced as the product is characterised as used and the customer must compensate the company for reducing the value of the product.

The reduction in value caused by the packaging being opened, and the reduction in value caused by the product being characterised as used, is examined on a case by case basis and is determined by the company. It is usually in the range of 20% -30%.

The Company is entitled to agree the compensation it is entitled to with the customer and this can be offset.

If the products are returned damaged or incomplete the Company has the right to request compensation from the customer. The amount of compensation due will be determined by the condition of the products and the company may proceed unilaterally and without any other party to fully or partially offset this claim against the customer.
