8. RETURNS

In cases where the User purchases products on or through the Website of the Owner, the User is entitled to a number of rights, as listed and described below:

Right of withdrawal

The User, as a consumer and user, makes a purchase on the Website and therefore has the right to cancel the purchase within 14 calendar days without giving any reason.

This withdrawal period shall expire 14 calendar days after the day on which the User or a third party authorised by the User, other than the carrier, acquired material possession of the goods purchased on the GUBOSA TIENDA ONLINE Website, or in the event that the goods making up the order are delivered separately, 14 calendar days from the day on which the User or a third party authorised by the User, other than the carrier, acquired material possession of the last of those goods making up the same purchase order, or in the case of a service contract, 14 calendar days from the day on which the contract was concluded.

In order to exercise this right of withdrawal, the User must notify GUBOSA TIENDA ONLINE of his/her decision. You may do so, where appropriate, through the contact spaces provided on the Website.

The User, regardless of the means he chooses to communicate his decision, must express clearly and unequivocally that it is his intention to withdraw from the purchase contract. In any case, the User may use the model withdrawal form that GUBOSA TIENDA ONLINE makes available as an annexed part of these Conditions, however, its use is not obligatory.

In order to comply with the withdrawal period, it is sufficient that the communication unequivocally expressing the decision to withdraw is sent before the expiry of the withdrawal period.

In the event of withdrawal, GUBOSA TIENDA ONLINE shall reimburse the User for all payments received, including shipping costs (with the exception of the additional costs chosen by the User for a shipping method other than the least expensive method offered on the Website) without undue delay and, in any event, no later than 14 calendar days from the date on which GUBOSA TIENDA ONLINE is informed of the User’s decision to withdraw.

GUBOSA TIENDA ONLINE will reimburse the User using the same payment method used by the User to make the initial purchase transaction. This refund will not generate any additional cost to the User. However, GUBOSA TIENDA ONLINE may withhold such reimbursement until it has received the products or items of the purchase, or until the User provides proof of their return, depending on which condition is met first.

The User can return or send the products to GUBOSA TIENDA ONLINE at: Avenida Principal 45 Poligono Industrial Can Clapers 08181 Sentmenat Barcelona

This must be done without undue delay and, in any case, no later than 14 calendar days from the date on which GUBOSA TIENDA ONLINE was informed of the withdrawal decision.

The User acknowledges being aware that he/she shall bear the direct cost of returning (transport, delivery) of the goods, should any be incurred. Furthermore, he shall be liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.

The User acknowledges that there are exceptions to the right of withdrawal, as stated in article 103 of Royal Legislative Decree 1/2007, of 16 November, which approves the revised text of the General Law for the Defence of Consumers and Users and other complementary laws. By way of example, and not exhaustively, this would be the case for: personalised products; products that may deteriorate or expire quickly; music or video CDs/DVDs without their packaging, as sealed at the factory; products that for hygiene or health reasons are sealed and have been unsealed after delivery.

The same applies to the provision of a service that the User may contract on this Website, as this same Law establishes that Users shall not have the right of withdrawal when the provision of the service has been fully executed, or when it has begun, with the express consent of the consumer and user and with the acknowledgement on their part that they are aware that, once the contract has been fully executed by GUBOSA TIENDA ONLINE, they will have lost their right of withdrawal.

In any case, no refund will be made if the product has been used beyond the mere opening of the product, of products that are not in the same condition in which they were delivered or that have suffered any damage after delivery.

The products must also be returned using or including all their original packaging, instructions and other accompanying documents, as well as a copy of the purchase invoice.

You can download the model withdrawal form at the following link: http://gubosa.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/Modelo-formulario-desistimiento-Gubosa.pdf

Return of defective products or delivery error

These are all those cases in which the User considers that, at the time of delivery, the product does not conform to what was stipulated in the contract or purchase order, and should therefore contact GUBOSA TIENDA ONLINE immediately and inform them of the existing non-conformity (defect/error) by the same means or using the contact details provided in the previous section (Right of Withdrawal).

The User will then be informed on how to proceed with the return of the products, and these, once returned, will be examined and the User will be informed, within a reasonable period of time, whether the refund or, if applicable, the replacement of the product is appropriate.

The refund or replacement of the product will be made as soon as possible and in any case within 14 days from the date on which we send you an e-mail confirming the refund or replacement of the non-conforming item.

The amount paid for those products that are returned because of a defect, when it really exists, will be refunded in full, including delivery costs and the costs that the User may have incurred in order to return the product. The refund will be made by the same means of payment that the User used to pay for the purchase.

In any case, the rights recognised in the legislation in force at any given time for the User, as a consumer and user, shall always apply.

Guarantees

The User, as a consumer and user, enjoys guarantees on the products that can be purchased through this Website, in the terms legally established for each type of product, responding GUBOSA TIENDA ONLINE, therefore, for the lack of conformity of the same that is manifested within a period of two years from delivery of the product.

If this is not the case with regard to the products delivered to the User, the User must proceed as indicated in the section Return of defective products or delivery errors. However, some of the products marketed on the Website may have non-homogeneous characteristics as long as these derive from the type of material from which they have been manufactured, and are therefore part of the individual appearance of the product, and are not a defect.

On the other hand, it may be the case that the User purchases on the Website a product of a brand or manufactured by a third party. In this case, and considering that the User is dealing with a defective product, the User also has the possibility of contacting the brand or manufacturer responsible for the product to find out how to exercise his legal warranty rights directly against them during the two years following the delivery of such products. For this purpose, the User must have retained all information relating to the guarantee of the products.
