If we do not receive evidence that the products have been dispatched back to us, we will reimburse the fourteen (14)-day period will start from the date we receive the products.
Before we proceed to reimbursement, we will review the products returned to assess your request, in particular:
- if you return the products and request the reimbursement within the fourteen (14)-day period, we will assess whetherthe products are in the conditions that we delivered them to you. If we find that your handling of the product has diminished its value, due to handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the products, we may detract the corresponding amount to the final reimbursement.
- if you request a price reduction as a consequence of a lack of conformity, we will assess the decrease in value by determining the difference between the value that the products would have had at the time of delivery had it been in accordance with the contract and the value that the products actually delivered had at the time of the conclusion of the contract.
- if you request reimbursement as a consequence of a lack of conformity, we will assess whether the lack of conformity is minor, in which case we will provide another more suitable remedy of those explained above.
We shall carry out the reimbursement using the same means of payment that you used for the initial transaction, unless otherwise agreed with you. We shall reimburse all costs associated with the lack of conformity process. In the return process, we shall reimburse all costs except for (i) the direct cost of returning the goods; and (ii) the supplementary costs derived from your choosing of a type of delivery for return other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by Baseus.
