In the case of an order for several goods delivered separately or in the case of an order for a good composed of lots or multiple parts whose delivery is staggered over a defined period, the deadline runs from the receipt of the last good or lot or the last part. For contracts providing for the regular delivery of goods over a defined period, the deadline runs from the receipt of the first good.

If applicable, the professional will process the refund using the same payment method as that used by the Client for the initial transaction, unless the Client expressly agrees to the use of another payment method and provided that the refund does not incur any costs for the Client. However, the professional is not obliged to refund the additional costs if the Client has expressly chosen a more expensive delivery method than the standard delivery method offered. 

The direct return shipping costs of the Product are the responsibility of the Client. These costs are estimated to a maximum of 1 euros yes, due to its nature, the Product cannot normally be returned by mail.
