After receiving the order, the buyer has the right to withdraw from the contract concluded in the online store within 14 days. Depending on the products, the buyer may not have the right of withdrawal; see the conditions listed in § 53, subsection 4 of the Law of Obligations Act.
The right of withdrawal does not apply if the buyer is a legal person.
To use the 14-day return right, the ordered product must not be used in any other way than necessary to verify its nature, characteristics, and functioning, similar to the way it is done in a physical store for testing purposes.
If the product has been used for purposes other than necessary to verify its nature, characteristics, and functioning or if it shows signs of use or wear, the Online Store has the right to reduce the refundable amount based on the decrease in the product’s value.
To return the product, the buyer must submit a statement of withdrawal from the purchase and send it to info@riverrope.com no later than 14 days after receiving the product.
The buyer must return the product within 14 days after submitting the withdrawal statement or provide evidence that they have handed over the product to the carrier within that period.
Upon receiving the returned product, the Online Store will refund the buyer without delay, but no later than 14 days after receiving the withdrawal statement, all fees received from the buyer under the contract.
The Online Store may withhold the refund until the item subject to the contract has been returned or until the buyer has provided evidence of returning the item, depending on which occurs first.
If the buyer has explicitly chosen a delivery method other than the least expensive standard delivery method offered by the Online Store, the Online Store is not required to refund the excess cost beyond the cost associated with the standard delivery method.
The Online Store has the right to withdraw from the sales transaction and demand the return of the goods if the price of the goods in the online store has been marked significantly below the market price due to an error.
