Effects of withdrawal

Upon withdrawal you shall send back the products to AARKE, together with its original packing, inserts, accessories, etc.

Where you have exercised the right of withdrawal via email or regular mail, the return is to be shipped to the address provided to you by AARKE’s customer service without undue delay and in any event no later than 14 days from the day on which you communicated your withdrawal to AARKE. The deadline is met if you send back the products before the period set out above has expired. All products sent by you to AARKE are at your risk and you will have to bear the cost of returning the products.

For withdrawals where AARKE provides free returns via a pre-printed return label, please see above the requirements for such free returns, the return is to be shipped within 30 days from the day on which you receive the ordered product. All products sent by you to AARKE are at your risk.

In case a product subject to a withdrawal is not returned to AARKE in due time as specified within these Terms for Purchase, AARKE reserves the right to decline the withdrawal.

With the exception of (i) any supplementary cost resulting from your choice of a type of delivery other than the standard delivery offered by AARKE, for example costs for express delivery, and (ii) any diminished value of the product(s) subject of withdrawal resulting from the handling of the same other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the product(s), for example if a product is damaged or dirty, AARKE will refund to you the payment received from you for the purchase of the product without undue delay and in any event no later than 30 days from the day on which AARKE has received the return. AARKE will refund the amount using the same method used for payment, if possible. If an alternative method of refund for any reason is necessary, you will be contacted by AARKE to arrange the refund.

Please note that AARKE will not accept a return of sealed goods, e.g. syrups and essences, which upon return either are without seal or with broken seal or otherwise not suitable for return due to health protection or hygiene reasons.

If you have received a free gift/bundle as a part of your purchase of the product, you must also in case of withdrawal from the purchase of the product, return the free gift/bundle to AARKE without undue delay and no later than 14 days from the date on which you informed us of your wish to withdraw from the purchase. The reason for this is that the free gift/bundle was conditioned on the original purchase of the product(s).

You are liable for any deterioration of the value of the free gift/bundle resulting from the handling of the same other than what is necessary to establish its nature, characteristics and functioning. If the value of the free gift/bundle is deteriorated or in case of broken seal, etc., or if you do not return the free gift/bundle within the period set out above, AARKE will from the refund deduct the value of the free gift/bundle.

Damaged or defective products

If, upon your receipt, the product or its packing is damaged, or if the product otherwise is or becomes defective you are kindly asked to contact AARKE as soon as possible – via the online contact form. Please include in such notice information about the damage or defect, including photos.

After receipt of such notice, AARKE may request you to return the damaged or defective product whereby AARKE will help you arrange the return shipment. Upon such request you shall return to AARKE the damaged or defective product together with the courier’s packing, the product’s original packing, inserts, accessories, etc. to an address provided to you, without undue delay. Please note that AARKE is not able to refund or compensate you for any costs you incur by arranging your own return of the product.

As concerns defective products, AARKE abides by all statutory guarantee regulations.

The provisions set forth herein do not limit any applicable statutory rights.

In case of AARKE being in breach of these terms and conditions, AARKE’s liability is limited to losses that are a reasonably foreseeable consequence of such breach. AARKE is never responsible for indirect or consequential losses or damages that are a side effect of the main loss or damage, for example loss of profits or loss of opportunity. AARKE is furthermore not responsible for any losses that are due to an event that is beyond AARKE’s reasonable control, including but not limited to fire, flood, storm, riot, civil disturbance, pandemics, war, nuclear accident and terrorist activity.

AARKE’s maximum liability to you for any loss or damage arising in connection with your order shall be limited to the total price of your order.

Please note that the availability of third-party products and any product’s compatibility with the same as set out in each relevant product description, is subject to the respective third-party’s supply of such products, which may be terminated or where such third-party may make changes to such third-party products, resulting in the product not being compatible with such third-party product. Such un-availabilities or changes are without any liabilities for AARKE.

Assignment

AARKE reserves the right to assign or pledge to third parties any claim(s) for payment including any payment instalments that have arisen in connection with the delivery of products.

Governing law, ODR platform

These Terms for Purchase are governed by Swedish law and any dispute shall be settled in a Swedish public court. However, if you are a consumer residing in an EU country you additionally enjoy the protection afforded to you by mandatory provisions of the law of your country of residence.

Furthermore, if you are a consumer residing in an EU country and you and AARKE are not able to settle a complaint you have related to a product that you have purchased from AARKE’s Website, you may submit your complaint to EU’s online dispute resolution platform (the “ODR platform”). Please note however that AARKE is not obliged to participate in the process for online resolution within the framework of the ODR platform.

The ODR platform offers consumers and traders within the EU with the possibility to try and reach an out-of-court settlement for complaints arising from online purchases. This single entry point is designed to be a user-friendly and interactive website, available in all EU official languages and free of charge. Using the ODR platform you and AARKE may find a dispute resolution body and then go through the process of finding a solution to your complaint. The ODR platform is available here: ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr/
