6. RIGHT OF WITHDRAWAL AND RETURNS
6.1. Right of withdrawal. If you are a consumer (i.e. a natural person who is acting for purposes which are outside his/her trade, business, craft or profession), you have the right to withdraw from a sales contract with a Seller, without giving any reason, within 14 days from the day on which you acquired, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquired, physical possession of the Products. You cannot exercise the right of withdrawal in situations listed in section 6.6 of the Terms.
6.2. How to exercise your right of withdrawal. To exercise your right of withdrawal, you must inform us within 14 days from the day on which you acquired, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquired, physical possession of the Products of your decision to withdraw from the sales contract by an unequivocal statement. You can use the following email address to exercise your right of withdrawal: help@thegoodapparel.com.
6.3. If you are a business client, the right of withdrawal may not apply to you. Please contact us for more information.
6.4. Effects of withdrawal. If you withdraw from a sales contract with a Seller and/or return the Products that meet the return criteria (e.g., are not customised or made to order, unworn, in an impeccable state, contain original labels, and are in their original packaging) and are not subject to section 6.6 of the Terms, we will reimburse to you all payments, including a part of the costs of delivery that you paid (with the exception of the supplementary costs resulting from your choice of a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered on The Good Apparel), without undue delay and in any event no later than 7 days from the day on which the Seller has received the Products back from you. We will not reimburse you the fees incurred by you as a result of shipping the Products back to the Sellers. You will need to pay all shipping fees associated with returning the Products. We will carry out reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly requested that we use a different payment method. In any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement. The reimbursement may be withheld until the Seller receives the returned Products and the Products are assessed as being properly returned back (e.g., the Products are in an impeccable state, unworn, and labelled).
6.5. Returns. If you would like to withdraw from a sales contract, you have to return the Products to the Seller without undue delay and in any event no later than 14 days from the day on which you acquired, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquired, physical possession of the Products. The deadline is met if you send back the Products before the period of 14 days expires. The shipping costs to return the Products shall be paid fully by you and are non-refundable. If you have ordered the Products from a few different Sellers, you have to return the Products to each Seller separately and, as a result, you may incur multiple shipping costs. The Products should be sent back to the Seller after having been validated on The Good Apparel return portal. To be entitled to a refund, the Products must be (i) unworn, (ii) in an impeccable condition, (iii) with the original tags on, and (iv) in their original packaging. If any of these conditions are not met, we will not refund you for the returned Product(s). Your right of withdrawal cannot be exercised and the Products cannot be returned in the situations listed in section 6.6 of the Terms.
6.6. Exceptions to the right of withdrawal. The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- the Products that are made to your specifications or are clearly personalised (e.g., clothes made to order or customised clothes);
- the Products which are liable to deteriorate or expire rapidly;
- the Products which are not suitable for return due to health protection or hygiene reasons (e.g., cosmetics without any seal, underwear and swimwear with removed hygiene stickers) or were unsealed after delivery;
- the Products which are, after delivery, according to their nature, inseparably mixed with other items;
- the Products that are worn, dirty, damaged, do no have original labels, or are not in their original packaging; and
- non-consumers.
