You must obtain prior approval from our Customer Service department if you choose to retract an order you have received.

In case you choose to exercise your right of retraction, you may either request the reimbursement of paid expenses, excluding shipping charges, or an exchange representing an amount equivalent to that already paid, accompanied by additional payment to cover any difference in price if necessary.

This right of retraction may be exercised without penalty. Nonetheless, return shipping costs are at the Client\'s expense. You must ensure that the Order that you are retracting is returned to Patch e-store in its entirety, respecting the terms described below in this Article.

The bank transfer fees are charged to the customer.

Please note that reimbursement will be made by check or by crediting the Client\'s bank account, depending on the original payment method, within fifteen (15) days following reception of returned products, and after quantitative and qualitative confirmation of the original condition of said products upon reception.

In case the Client exercises his or her right to retraction, Patch e-store will, after verification of the returned products, reimburse the amount paid by the Client (minus shipping charges, as described in Article 6 below) within a maximum period of 15 days by wire transfer or by crediting the Client\'s credit card.

If the Client requests an exchange or reimbursement, a return authorization number must be provided by Patch e-store. The return procedure is described on the return authorization.

If the Client pays for shipping, he or she must declare the product value as it is written on the purchase invoice, and ensure that said product(s) is/are properly insured for return with respect to the amount indicated on the invoice.
