Article IX. Consumer's Right to Return Goods Without Providing a Reason and Consumer Information
- Under the Consumer Protection Act no. 102/2014 Coll. on the protection of consumers in the sale of goods or provision of services based on contracts concluded remotely or outside the seller's business premises, and on the amendment and supplementation of certain laws (hereinafter referred to as the "Act"), according to the provisions of § 7 and following, the consumer has the right to withdraw from the purchase contract within 14 calendar days from the day of receipt of the goods, provided the seller has fulfilled their information obligations under this law. In other cases, § 2 or § 3 of the Act applies. If the subject of the purchase contract is the delivery of goods, the consumer has the right to withdraw from the contract even before the goods are delivered.
- If the consumer wants to exercise this right, they must submit a written withdrawal from the purchase contract to the seller's contact address no later than the last day of the specified period during the seller's business hours or send the withdrawal via mail no later than the last day of the period to the address listed in the contacts. Alternatively, this right may also be exercised by submitting the withdrawal in a durable medium. The consumer must return or deliver the goods subject to withdrawal along with any documentation (e.g., the original invoice, manual, and other documentation received with the goods) no later than 14 days from the day of withdrawal (§10(1) of the Act). We recommend that customers make a copy of the invoice for their own use and send the goods by registered mail or as an insured shipment. You can use the following form to withdraw from the purchase contract: Withdrawal from the Purchase Contract.
- Please do not send goods by cash on delivery. Such shipments will not be accepted.
- The e-shop operator will refund the payment for the goods within 14 days from the day of receiving the withdrawal from the contract.

In the case of a refund for shipping costs, the seller is only required to refund the costs of the least expensive shipping method offered.

- The right to withdraw from the contract does not apply to goods and services specified in § 7(6)(a) to (l) of Act no. 102/2014 Coll.
- The consumer is responsible for any reduction in the value of the goods caused by their use beyond what is necessary to determine the nature, characteristics, and functioning of the goods.
- The consumer's right to return goods does not apply to orders with personal collection at the store. In the case of personal pickup with payment upon receipt of the goods, no remote contract is concluded, and the seller is not obliged to accept the return of goods.
- The buyer acknowledges that if gifts are provided with the goods, the gift agreement between the Seller and the Buyer is conditional on the fact that if the right to withdraw from the purchase contract is exercised within 14 days, the gift agreement will lose its effect, and the consumer must return the gifts received, including all benefits gained, along with the returned goods. If these gifts are not returned, their value will be considered as unjust enrichment. If the return of the subject of unjust enrichment is not possible, the Seller has the right to a monetary compensation equivalent to the usual price. In the case of withdrawal from the gift agreement, the purchase contract does not terminate, and the contracts are considered separately in this regard.
