9. RIGHT OF WITHDRAWAL FROM THE CONTRACT BY LAW
9.1 If the Customer is contracting as a consumer, he or she will have the right to withdraw from the Contract within 14 (fourteen) days without having to provide any reason. The withdrawal period ends 14 days after the day on which the Customer or a third party designated by the Customer, other than the carrier, acquires physical possession of the Products.
9.2 To exercise the right of withdrawal, the Customer, before the expiry of the withdrawal period, must:
1. give express notice of your intention to withdraw from the Contract through an explicit declaration – via the return form available in your user area
2. Prepare the package using the original packaging or, if this is not possible, packaging of equivalent size and resistance and carefully seal with tape. Print the return label contained in the return authorization email you will have received from Teddy and attach it to the box so as to cover the information from the first shipment.
3. return the Products by shipping them via post or courier to the following address : TEDDY SpA, Via dei Lanaioli – Blocco 4, 40050 Funo di Argelato, Bologna (Italy) . Teddy's address is also shown on the return label included in the return authorization email referred to in point 2 above.
Shipment must be made without undue delay and, in any case, within 14 days from the day on which the Customer communicates withdrawal from the Contract in the manner set forth in this article. The deadline is considered met if the Customer returns the goods before the 14-day period expires. The costs of returning the Products are entirely borne by the Customer.
9.3 The Customer is only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from handling other than that necessary to establish the nature, characteristics, and functioning of the goods. Therefore, the right of withdrawal applies only if the Products to be returned are intact and unworn, complete with their original packaging, wrapping, tags, stickers, and labels. For some Products, due to their special characteristics, the following return conditions must also be met:
- Swimwear: must include a hygienic sticker.
- Underwear: can be exchanged or returned as long as it is in the same condition as purchased and still has the protective bag or sticker it was shipped in.
The Customer may not exercise the right of withdrawal from the Contract which has as its object the supply of customized Products or Products which do not satisfy the aforementioned conditions.
9.4 In the event of withdrawal from the Contract, the Customer will be refunded for all payments made for the returned Products, without undue delay and in any case no later than 30 (thirty) days from the day of receipt of the Customer's notice of withdrawal from the Contract. Any costs, other than ordinary costs, will not be refunded to the Customer if the Customer has requested additional delivery services with the Order (such as, by way of example and not limited to, more expensive shipping methods than the least expensive ones offered on the Site) or payment services or other services that involve additional costs (such as, by way of example and not limited to, payment by cash on delivery).
9.5 Refunds will generally be made using the same payment method used by the Customer for the Order. However, if the Customer paid for the Order by cash on delivery, the refund will be made by bank transfer to the Italian bank or postal account indicated by the Customer (transfers to postal savings books are always excluded).
9.6 Teddy will withhold the refund until the returned Products are actually received by the Customer. In any case, the refund will only be made if the Products returned by the Customer are in good condition. The Customer is responsible for the contents of the returned package. Teddy will not issue a refund if:
1. the package received contains an incorrect item and/or different from the product ordered or to be returned
2. the product has been used beyond simple opening and iii) the products are not in the same condition in which they were delivered, are damaged or in any case the conditions set out in Article 9.3 have not been respected. In this case, Teddy will in turn return the Products to the Customer and will not refund the amounts paid; any costs incurred by Teddy for the return will be charged to the Customer.
9.7 Without prejudice to the provisions of the previous art. 9.6, refunds for Products returned following withdrawal from the Contract will be made within 15 days of their receipt by Teddy.
