Terms of Service

Last updated: November 14, 2024

At +351 991 476 709, we are committed to ensuring customer satisfaction. If you are not satisfied with our products or services, we are here to help you with refunds or exchanges. This terms of service describes the terms and procedures for refund requests in accordance with Portuguese consumer protection laws.

1. Your Statutory Rights

As a consumer in Portugal, you have legal rights under the Portuguese Consumer Protection Law (Lei de Defesa do Consumidor) and EU Directives:

  • Right to quality goods: If your product is defective, not as described, or unfit for purpose, you have the legal right to demand repair, replacement, or refund.
  • Legal guarantee period: For consumer goods, there is a minimum 2-year legal guarantee period from the date of delivery.
  • Withdrawal right: For online, phone, or mail order purchases, you have 14 days from delivery to cancel your order for any reason (your "withdrawal period") and a further 14 days to return the goods.

The information below is our voluntary policy, which applies in addition to your statutory rights and never reduces them.

2. Refund Eligibility

To be eligible for a refund under our voluntary policy, you must request it within 30 days from the date of purchase and meet the following conditions:

  • The product must be in its original condition (for non-defective returns).
  • You must provide proof of purchase, such as a receipt, order confirmation, or order number.
  • For defective goods, you must describe the defect and, if possible, provide evidence such as photographs.

3. Refund Process

To request a refund:

  1. Contact our support team by email or phone.
  2. Provide your order details and the reason for the refund request.
  3. For statutory rights claims, specify which right you are exercising (e.g., legal guarantee, withdrawal right).
  4. Submit necessary documentation, such as receipts or photographs of defective products.

Our team will evaluate your request and notify you of the outcome within 7 business days. For cancellations during the withdrawal period, we will confirm receipt of your cancellation without undue delay.

4. Refund Timeframes

  • Withdrawal right cancellations: We will process your refund within 14 days of receiving the goods back or evidence that you have sent them back.
  • Defective goods: We will process your refund within 14 days of agreeing that you are entitled to a refund.
  • Voluntary policy returns: We will process your refund within 14 days of receiving the returned goods.

5. Partial Refunds

In certain cases, we may issue partial refunds:

  • If the product is returned with signs of use beyond inspection (for non-defective returns).
  • For items purchased with special promotional offers or discounts (subject to the terms of the promotion).

Note: Partial refunds do not apply to your statutory rights for defective, not as described, or unfit for purpose goods.

6. Exceptions

Refunds under our voluntary policy are not provided in the following cases:

  • Digital products that have been downloaded or accessed (unless defective).
  • Custom or made-to-order items (unless defective).
  • Items purchased during final sales or clearance events (unless defective).
  • Sealed items unsuitable for return due to health protection or hygiene reasons, once unsealed after delivery (unless defective).
  • Sealed audio, video or computer software, once opened (unless defective).

Important: These exceptions do not affect your statutory rights regarding defective goods or your right to withdraw during the withdrawal period for eligible products.

7. Refund Method

If approved, the refund will be processed as follows:

  • The refund will be issued to the original payment method used for the purchase.
  • Bank processing times may take 3-5 business days once we have issued the refund.
  • For refunds under the withdrawal period, we will refund the basic delivery cost of sending the item to you (excluding any expedited delivery charges you may have chosen).

8. Return Shipping Costs

  • Defective goods: We will reimburse the reasonable costs of returning the goods.
  • Withdrawal period returns: You are responsible for the return shipping costs unless the goods are defective or we have agreed otherwise.
  • Voluntary policy returns: Return shipping costs are the customer's responsibility.

9. Exchange Policy

If you wish to exchange a product:

  1. Contact our support team with your order details.
  2. State the reason for the exchange.
  3. Our team will guide you through the exchange process.
