Extended rules, Policy Right of Withdrawal:

Requesting cancellation
In accordance with the EU Consumer Rights Directive’s right of withdrawal, you must let us know you want to cancel within 14 days of receiving the order.

Confirmation of cancellation request
Once you’ve informed us an written formal request,  that you want to cancel your purchase, we’ll assess your request. If we approve your request, we’ll send you the seller’s return address as soon as possible. If cancellation under the CPA policy is not applicable, we’ll explain why.

Cancellation policy
The purpose of our cancellation policy is to explain the cancellation rights of buyers as stated in the EU Consumer Rights Directive (2011/83/EU) (‘the Directive’). This policy forms an integral part of our Terms of Use. We’re providing this information on behalf of all professional sellers who use our platform to sell to buyers living in the European Economic Area (EEA).

The CPA gives buyers the right to cancel and return any purchase bought from a Professional seller (indicated by the ‘Pro’ icon next to their name on a object page), as long as (i) the buyer doesn’t purchase objects professionally and (ii) the buyer lives in a country within the EEA, including the UK.

The policy gives eligible buyers (‘Consumers’) a ‘cooling-off’ period of 14 days to decide whether they want to keep their purchase. Within the cooling-off period, a buyer can cancel the purchase without giving a reason for the cancellation. However, we do recommend giving a reason. This gives us a chance to try and solve the problem or prevent the same problem from happening in the future. If you qualify as a consumer (buyer) under the Directive, the following is applicable to your orders:

The start of the 14-day cooling-off period
The cooling-off period starts on the day that you receive the purchase or:

• If the object is delivered in more than one shipment or is composed of multiple parts, it will start on the day of the last shipment or the day the last part is delivered.
• For agreements about the regular delivery of objects during a set term, it will start on the day you received the first object.
• You can also request to cancel your purchase before receiving it.

Your obligations during the cooling-off period

During the cooling-off period, you need to handle the object and its packaging with care. You are allowed to evaluate the object in a way similar to how you would evaluate it in an offline store.

Handling the object with care is very important, because the seller can hold you liable for any decrease in value beyond what would be caused by this careful handling. Careful handling is defined as only handling the object in a way that is acceptable to establish the nature, characteristics, and functioning of the lot. If the seller claims your handling has decreased the value of the object, we will not mediate this claim. You’ll need to reach a solution directly with the seller.

Returning the order
The object, including all related accessories that were delivered with it, must be returned to the seller within 14 days of us approving your request. If possible, you should return the object in the original condition and packaging. If the object is not returned to the seller within 14 days of us approving the cancellation request, your right to cancel is void and the seller will be paid.

If the object is returned to the seller within the 14 days and there are no issues relating to shipping or damage, you’ll be refunded the purchase price and the costs for delivery will be for your account. If the seller already received payment for that object, they will be obliged to reimburse you for the purchase price and except the costs for delivery to you.

Costs of return shipping

If you cancel and return a purchase you will bear the direct costs, risk, and burden of return shipping.

We highly recommend packing the object properly and securely, make detailed foto’s and send them true the message centrum in your account to the seller and using insured shipping. This is because, if the seller can show that the object is damaged or lost during return shipping, we are entitled to pay the seller. If this happens, you will need to (i) contact the seller directly to arrange any (partial) refund and/or (ii) contact the shipping company to claim damages.
