7. Refund and Return Policy
7.1 Right of withdrawal
You have the right to terminate this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period expires after 14 days from the day on which you, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you, obtains physical possession of the goods.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, you must inform us of your decision to withdraw via a clear statement (for example a letter sent by post, fax or email). You may use the model withdrawal form attached, but this is not mandatory.
You may also complete and submit the withdrawal form or any other clear statement electronically on our website. If you do so we will communicate without delay an acknowledgement of receipt of such withdrawal on a durable medium (such as by email).
In order to meet the withdrawal deadline it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
7.2 Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw this contract, we will reimburse all payments received from you, including delivery costs (except for additional costs resulting from your choice of a delivery type other than the least expensive standard delivery we offer), without undue delay and in any event no later than 14 days from the day on which we are informed of your decision to withdraw the contract. We will carry out such reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
You must return the goods or hand them over to us or to a person authorised by us to receive them, without undue delay and in any event no later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from the contract. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You will bear the direct cost of returning the goods.
You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Please note that there are certain legal exceptions to the right of withdrawal, and some items cannot therefore be returned or exchanged. We will let you know if this applies to your particular case.
8. Submission of Ideas
Do not send any idea, invention, copyrighted work or other information that may be considered your own intellectual property unless we have previously signed an intellectual property agreement or a non-disclosure agreement. If you disclose it to us without such a written agreement, you grant us a worldwide, irrevocable, non-exclusive and royalty-free licence to use, reproduce, store, adapt, publish, translate and distribute your content on any existing or future media.
