8. Returns

8.1 
You may return products purchased from milaura.com, without any penalty and without specifying the reason, within fourteen (14) days of receiving the products purchased on milaura.com, using the Return Form (in conformity with the standard form pursuant to Art. 49, Subsection 4 of the Consumer Code), which may be filled out and sent directly online through the website, or you may draft and send the Vendor another declaration explicitly stating your decision to withdraw from the contract.
If you choose to use the Return Form to send the form directly online through the website, the Vendor will send you an e-mail confirming receipt of the withdrawal request.
Should you instead choose to send another type of withdrawal statement, you will be responsible for proving that you exercised your withdrawal right in a proper, timely manner.


8.2 
Once you have exercised your right to withdraw from the contract, you must return the products to the Vendor, sending them to the shipping agent for shipment within fourteen (14) days of when you informed the Vendor of your decision to withdraw from the contract.  

8.3 
If returning only some products purchased together using a single order form (partial return) and provided you use the courier stated by MILAURA on the Return Form, shipping is free. Barring any another, more advantageous temporary offer stated on our Home Page or in newsletters, should you decide to return the only product purchased using an order form, or all of the products purchased using a single order form (total return), the only costs at your own expense are those for return shipping 

8.4 
Should you decide to use the courier indicated by MILAURA in the online Return Form, MILAURA will pay for the return shipping costs for you and will relieve you from direct payment to the courier. MILAURA will withhold a flat rate as payment for the return shipping, which will correspond to the original costs paid for the shipping and delivery of the order. Additionally by using this courier indicated by MILAURA in the online Return Form, the Vendor relieves you from any responsibility for any loss or damage to the products during transport. 

8.5 
Should you decide to use a different shipping method than the one indicated by the Vendor in the Return Form, you must instead pay upfront for the costs you have incurred for returning the purchased products. In that case, you will also be refunded an amount equal to the cost of the standard shipping of the purchased products, although you will not be refunded for any additional costs you incurred due to having chosen another kind of shipment and delivery or one that is faster than the standard method. In this case you will still be able to be held liable if the products are lost or damaged during transport, whether due to your negligent choice of carrier and/or the shipment methods. 

8.6 
Except in certain specific circumstances, duly specified in the Returns section, you are not permitted to exchange or to replace purchased products with other products. Exchanges are allowed in certain circumstances if requested not later than fifteen (14) days of the date of delivery of the products by using the online return or exchange form on our website which can be accessed by inputting your order number (the "Return Form"). You may only request the replacement of one or more purchased products from a single order with products that are the same model but a different size and/or colour. The available replacement options will be indicated in the online Return Form on our website. 

8.7 
The return right - besides compliance with the terms and procedures described at par. 8.1, 8.2 and 8.3 above - shall be deemed correctly exercised once the following conditions have been fully met:

·  Return Form directly transmitted online via the website, or another declaration explicitly stating your decision to withdraw from the contract must be correctly completed and submitted within fifteen (14) days from receipt of the products

·  the products must not have been used, worn or washed

·  the identification tag must still be attached to the products with the disposable seal

·  the products must be returned, complete and unused, in their original packaging (in the case of hi-tech gadgets, funny gagdets, agendas, note books and toys, the packaging must include its original seal; if you want to return a kit, it must include all of its components)

·  the returned products must be sent to the shipping agent within fourteen (14) days of when you informed the Vendor of your decision to withdraw from the contract;

·  the products must not be damaged.

Whenever the conditions indicated in letters b), c) and d) of previous paragraph 8.8 are not respected, you will not be entitled to a full refund of the amounts already paid to the Vendor. You will indeed be responsible for the decrease in value of the returned products, following a use other than the one authorized by the Vendor with the intent of allowing you to assess the nature, features and functioning of the products themselves. In this case, between 10 and 90 percent of the amounts you paid to the Vendor to purchase the returned products will be deducted from the provided refund, whereby you will be specifically informed, via e-mail, by the Vendor. Within 15 days of sending the e-mail informing you of the amount deducted from the refund, you may choose to have the products redelivered to you, at your expense, and in the condition in which they were returned to the Vendor, informing the Vendor thereof according to the procedures of which you will be advised. Otherwise, the Vendor may retain the products and an amount corresponding to the percent deducted from the refund.
 
In the event that the checks do not have a positive outcome, the Vendor takes steps to inform you, via e-mail, that a decrease in value of the returned products has been detected, deriving from your failure to comply with the conditions indicated in letters b), c) and d) of paragraph 8.8 above. The Vendor simultaneously sees to it that you are also informed of the amount that will be deducted from the amounts you paid to purchase the returned products; without prejudice, in the alternative, to the possibility of your having the products redelivered to you, at your expense, and in the condition in which they were returned to the Vendor, pursuant to the terms provided for in paragraph 8.9
  

8.8 
If the return right is exercised in conformity with the provisions set forth in this section, MILAURA shall refund the amounts paid for the returned products according to the methods and times of our standard refund procedure. 

8.10 
The refund procedure will be initiated by MILAURA within thirty (30) days of when MILAURA was informed of your decision to return. The procedure will begin after checking to ensure that the customer's return is in accordance with the Return Policy and that the returned products have been accepted as indicated in par. 9. 

8.10 
In the event that your return does not comply with the terms and conditions set out in section 7 of these General Terms and Conditions of Sale, you will not be entitled to any refund of sums already paid to MILAURA; nevertheless, you shall be entitled, at your own expense, to receive the products in the conditions in which they were sent back to MILAURA. If you do not wish to receive the products in the conditions in which they were sent back to MILAURA, MILAURA shall be entitled to keep the products and withhold the sums already received. 

9. Refund Times and Procedures

9.1 
After the products have been returned, MILAURA shall check the conformity of the products with the conditions indicated in section 8 above. When MILAURA is able to confirm that such conditions have been met, MILAURA shall send you an e-mail confirming the acceptance of the returned products. 

9.2 
Whatever payment type you used, the refund procedure shall be started by MILAURA within thirty (30) days of when MILAURA was informed of your decision to exercise your return right, after checking that the return right has been correctly exercised and that the returned products have been accepted. 

9.3 
If the recipient of the products indicated in the order form is different from the individual who made the payment for such products, the amount paid for returned items shall be refunded by MILAURA to the individual who made the payment. 

9.4

You may return products to MILAURA without having to pay for return shipping costs by using the pre-printed DHL label enclosed in original order. According to the terms and conditions stated in our Return Policy, this option allows MILAURA to pay the return shipping costs for you and will relieve you from direct payment to the courier. Additionally by using UPS, the Vendor relieves you from any responsibility for any loss or damage to the products during transport. 

9.5 
If you decide to return products using a different shipping company other than the one indicated by MILAURA, you will have to pay the return shipping costs upfront and you will be responsible for any loss or damage to the products during transit, according to the terms and procedures stated in our Return Policy.
