Refund and Return Policy
-Right of Withdrawal
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire 14 days from the day of the conclusion of the contract.
To exercise your right of withdrawal, you must inform us of your decision to withdraw from this contract by means of an unequivocal statement (e.g., a letter sent by post, fax, or email). Our contact details can be found below. You may use the attached model withdrawal form, but it is not obligatory.
If you use this option, we will promptly acknowledge receipt of your withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g., by email).
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
-Effects of the Return
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse all payments received from you, including delivery costs (with the exception of any additional costs resulting from your choice of a delivery method other than the least expensive standard delivery option offered by us), without undue delay and in any event no later than 14 days from the day on which we are informed of your decision to withdraw from this contract. We will make such reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
If you requested the provision of services to commence during the withdrawal period, you will have to pay us an amount proportional to the services provided up to the date you notified us of your withdrawal from this contract, compared to the total coverage of the contract.
Please note that there are some statutory exceptions to the right of withdrawal, and therefore some items cannot be returned or exchanged. We will inform you if this applies to your particular case.
