When you purchase products and you are a consumer, you have a statutory right of revocation. If you buy the capsules for your commercial activity or self-employment as a contractor, you have no statutory right of revocation.
The first thing you should know is that if you decide to return products, you can use the return shipping label enclosed with your order. If you require a new return shipping label, you can contact Customer Care to request one (contact details below). Please help us to avoid unnecessary costs by always using the return shipping label when returning products.
You are entitled to revocate from this contract within fourteen days without stating any reasons. The deadline for revocation is fourteen days from the date in which you, or a third party appointed by you to that effect, which is not the shipper, take possession of the first goods. In order to exercise your right of revocation, you are required to inform us about your decision to rescind this contract by issuing an unequivocal statement to us (e.g. through a letter sent through the postal service, a phone call and an electronic mail message). You may, but must not, use the sample revocation form provided below to that effect.

Unless both parties agreed expressively on a different procedure, we use the same payment method to perform such payment refund that you used for the original transaction. Under no circumstances will we charge you with fees for such a refund of payment. We will be entitled to refuse to make the payment refund until we receive possession of the goods, or until you provide proof about having returned the goods, the earlier date of these two options.

We will carry the costs of the refund of goods, if you requested in advance to [email protected] a return label and used it.
