Order Cancellation Rights, Returns

The cancellation of an order is subject to the terms and conditions and applicable statutory provisions for the return of goods.

For the return of goods purchased under a distance or off-premises contract, Article 43.č of the Consumer Protection Act (ZVPot) stipulates that the consumer has the right to notify the company within 14 days of the receipt of the goods, and express the desire to withdraw from the contract, without the need for them to state the reason for their decision. A message is deemed timely if the consignment is submitted within the time limit. The only cost to the consumer in respect of cancellation is the direct cost of returning the goods. The latter must be returned to the company no later than thirty days after the notice of withdrawal. The return of goods within the cancellation deadline shall be considered a notice of withdrawal. The right of withdrawal is the right of the consumer, due to the very nature of the distance contract.
The consumer sends his complaints or comments to the e-mail address info@capucinne.com. The consumer has the right to be refunded the purchase price and shipping costs. The only cost to the consumer is the cost of returning goods.

The service provider will refund the entire purchase price to the consumer as soon as possible, and at the latest within 14 days from the receipt of the returned goods.

The consumer must return the goods unused, undamaged and in the unchanged quantity as received, unless the goods have been destroyed, lost or their quantity decreased, for which the consumer was not responsible. The items must be packed in original packaging. A copy of the invoice must be attached.

The consumer cannot return the goods if:

  • the items have been customized (example: changed the type, size or shape of the stone from the original design),
  • the items have been personalized (example: items engraved per customer’s request),
  • the items have been made according to their specifications and instructions (example: If we are provided with an incorrect ring size, the rings can not be returned or exchanged based on this premises),
  • the items were purchased during sales or other types of discounts,
  • the items have been made in for an expedited (rush) request. 

Customized orders can refunded or canceled up to 3 business days after being ordered.
