If your country uses a currency other than Euro or GBP, the refund will be made at the prevailing rate of exchange. We are not liable for any exchange rate fluctuations that occur between the time of purchase/payment and the time of refund.
We will refund you the full purchase price within 14 days after we receive the goods back or until you provide evidence that you have returned the goods, whichever comes first.
