In accordance with applicable law, once you have exercised your right to withdraw from the sale contract, the products to be returned must be handed over to the courier within fourteen (14) days of the date you notified YOOX of your decision to withdraw.
In accordance with applicable law, the right to return is excluded in the event that you purchased customised or personalised products, or sealed items that were opened after delivery and that cannot be returned for health or hygiene reasons.
1. Conditions for exercising the right to withdraw
The right to withdraw from the sale contract shall be deemed correctly exercised if the following conditions have been fully met:
a. The right to withdraw has been correctly exercised within fourteen (14) days of receiving the products following the procedures set out above
b. The products returned must be the same identical items purchased and/or be listed in the YOOX catalogue;
c. the products must not have been purchased for resale purposes.
d.The products have not been used, worn or washed and, in any case, are compliant with the requirements detailed in the section on compliance checks for returned products below;
e. The identification tag with the disposable seal is still attached to the products as it constitutes an integral part of the product
f. The products are returned with their original packaging (if you want to return a kit, it must include all of its components);
g. The products are handed over to the courier within fourteen (14) days of the date you notified the Vendor of your decision to withdraw from the sale contract
h. The products are not damaged
If you have complied with the relevant conditions, YOOX will, in accordance with applicable law, fully reimburse the price of the products purchased. The only expenses borne by you will be those for returning the products, unless YOOX expressly exempted you from those expenses when you made your purchase, and under the condition that you use the courier and shipping methods indicated below in section 2.
2. Procedure for returning products to YOOX - UPS
YOOX recommends you use the courier UPS (www.ups.com) for returning products. If you use UPS and the pre-printed label – which carries the return address – enclosed in the original order, you will not have to pay the return costs upfront. YOOX will pay the courier UPS on your behalf and will deduct from your refund a fee equal to the cost incurred for delivering the purchased products to your home. Contact UPS to organise a return. The possibility of tracking each package sent at any time using this shipping method relieves you from any responsibility for loss or damage to the products during transit. If you decide to return products using a courier other than UPS, 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. In this event, you will also be refunded an amount equal to the standard shipping cost of the purchased products although, in accordance with applicable law, you will not be refunded for any additional costs incurred due to choosing another kind of shipment and delivery that is different to or faster than the standard method.
If you are based in one of the following countries Sweden, Denmark and Finland please visit our Customer Care area where you will find information on product shipping, delivery and return procedures.
3. Compliance checks for returned products
Your return cannot be accepted if it does not comply with the conditions set out under this section ("Return Policy").
All products must be returned unused, in perfect condition, inclusive of all protective materials and with the identification tags and stickers attached to the products (if originally provided), in addition to their packaging, accessories and documentation. YOOX will check the conformity of returns, if necessary, using photographic and video means. If a product is returned showing signs of use or if it has been utilized or altered with respect to its original condition, YOOX reserves the right not to accept the return or, alternatively, to reduce the amount of the refund accordingly. If on the basis of the inspections carried out YOOX decides not to accept your return, a notice will be sent to you stating the reasons why the return cannot be accepted.
Click here and read the section “Return Policy” to learn the grounds on which YOOX reserves the right not to accept your return or to issue only a partial refund. In the nonacceptance of return notice, YOOX will inform you that the products returned will be shipped back to you at the expense of YOOX, unless you have mistakenly returned products not purchased on the website and therefore not listed in the YOOX catalogue and/or in any case different from the items purchased. In this case, you will be provided with details to pick up the products at your own expense.
YOOX declines all liability for personal items mistakenly placed inside the return parcel shipped to YOOX.
4. Refund times and procedures
After YOOX has received your return and checked that all the return conditions have been fulfilled, you will receive an email message confirming that the return has been accepted and that YOOX will proceed with a full refund. Alternatively, if the value of the products returned is found to be impaired under the provisions of the foregoing section, you will receive an email informing you of the amount deducted from the full refund and YOOX will proceed with the refund of the remaining amount. Irrespective of the payment method you choose out of the options offered, YOOX will process your refund as quickly as possible and, in any case, within fourteen (14) days from the notification of your decision to exercise your right of withdrawal, or from the date of acceptance of the return by YOOX, once it has checked that your return fulfils the conditions set out above.
The time period for refunding the amount paid for purchasing the returned products depends on the form of payment used:
• Purchase by credit/debit card: refund time will depend on the card company, but will normally take place within two billing cycles. The credit's value date will be the same as the original debit. You will not, therefore, suffer any losses in terms of bank interest.
• Payment by PayPal (if available): refunds will be credited to your PayPal account and will be visible immediately. The actual reimbursement of the credit card associated with your PayPal account will depend on the company that issued the card.
• Payment made by cash on Delivery (if available): the refund will be sent to the bank account indicated by you, so the time taken for the refund will depend on the accuracy of the information provided by you; the refund will usually take fourteen (14) days.
In the case of gifts, the refund of the sum paid for purchases will be made to the individual who made the payment.
As an alternative to having your credit/debit card, PayPal or bank account refunded for returned products, you can choose to receive store credit ("Moneyoox").
Moneyoox can be used towards purchases on yoox.com according to article 10 of the General Terms and Conditions of the Sale.
5. Items returned because they are damaged, defective or incorrect
Notwithstanding legal rules protecting consumers, if you are returning a product because of an error on our part or because it is damaged or defective, you shall notify YOOX within thirty (30) days of receipt using the online Return Form on the website; if a product becomes faulty after the thirty (30) days, please contact Customer Care to obtain further return information.

In the event that YOOX finds no fault with the returned products, you will be notified that the returned products cannot be accepted and you may elect to have the products re-delivered to you. If you do not accept re-delivery YOOX reserves the right to retain the products and the purchase price and recover YOOX's fees and expenses
