You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving reasons. The deadline begins on the day you or a third party designated by you, other than the carrier, have taken possession of the goods.
The right of withdrawal does not apply to goods that are not prefabricated and for whose manufacture an individual selection or determination by you is decisive, or that are clearly tailored to your personal needs, as well as goods not suitable for return due to health or hygiene reasons if the seal has been removed after delivery.
We will refund all payments, including the cheapest standard shipping costs, immediately and at the latest within 14 days of receiving your withdrawal declaration. We may refuse the refund until we have received the goods or until you have provided proof of return. Refund will be made using the same payment method.
Please return the goods within 14 days of withdrawal via the RMA process to the return address communicated to you (EU warehouse Italy/Netherlands; alternatively CH address). You bear the direct costs of return.
You only have to pay for any loss in value of the goods if this is due to handling that is not necessary to examine the nature, properties, and functioning of the goods.
