The Seller, in its capacity as distributor of the Products on the Site disclaims all liability, without exclusions and/or exceptions, indicating, on receiving such request from the damaged Consumer, the identity and domicile address of the manufacturer of the Product concerned.
10. Right of Withdrawal
10.1. Subject to the exceptions provided for in Article 59 of the Consumer Protection Code, the Consumer shall have the right to withdraw from any contract concluded pursuant to these Conditions for any reason, without having to provide any explanation and without incurring any penalty, within 14 (fourteen) days from (i) the day on which the Product is delivered or (ii) if several Products on one order are delivered separately, from the date the last Product was received.
10.2. To exercise a right of withdrawal, the Consumer shall notify the Seller, before the deadline indicated in paragraph 10.1 above, of his intentions by sending an explicit declaration to B2Vibe, using the email address rominas@b2vibe.com.
10.3. On completing the requirements of paragraph 10.2 above, the Consumer will receive a withdrawal confirmation email, containing the RMA number, along with the instructions on how to return the Product, to be sent within and no later than 14 days to:
B2Vibe S.r.l. - Via santi 11/13 20037 Paderno dugnano MI
10.4. If the Consumer has received the Product, he is required to return it to the address indicated in the previous paragraph (10.3) without undue delay and, in any event, within 14 days from the day that notice of such withdrawal was given. The deadline shall be met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. All shipping risks and direct costs incurred when returning the products shall be borne by the Consumer.
10.5. If the Consumer withdraw from this contract, we shall refund all payments received from the Consumer, including the costs of delivery (with the exception of the supplementary costs resulting from the choice of a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us), without undue delay and in any event no later than 14 days from exercising the right of withdrawal. The Seller will carry out such refunds using the same means of payment used by the Consumer for the initial transaction. The Seller may withhold the refund until the Seller have received the returned goods or the Consumer has supplied evidence of having despatched the goods, whichever is the earliest.
10.6. The Consumer is liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from handling beyond what is necessary to establish their nature, characteristics, and functioning. Accordingly, if the returned goods are found to be damaged (for example: authenticity label or safety seal removed; signs of wear such as abrasions, nicks, scratches, deformation; incomplete with any parts or accessories; missing original instructions/manuals; or lacking original packaging and warranty), the Consumer shall be responsible for any loss in value and shall be entitled to receive a refund corresponding only to the residual value of the Product.
Furthermore, pursuant to Article 59(e) of the Italian Consumer Code (D. lgs. 206/2005)—implementing Directive 2011/83/EU—the Consumer cannot withdraw from the purchase for sealed goods that are not suitable for return for hygiene or health protection reasons if those goods have been opened after delivery. Cosmetics such as creams, perfumes, lotions, or other sealed personal care items fall under this exclusion and are considered as opened if their packaging seal is broken or the product has been opened in any way, once delivered.
Consequently, given the hygienic nature of cosmetic products, the right of withdrawal is strictly excluded if the sealed packaging has been opened, tampered with, or the product used—even partially. Only cosmetic Products delivered in intact, unopened, and unused condition, with the original seal and packaging fully intact, may be accepted for return.
Consumers are therefore strongly advised not to open or use the Products unless they intend to keep them, and to use the original Product packaging plus suitable protective secondary packaging when returning items to preserve their resalable condition, free from any external markings or labels.
