7.2. Effects of cancellation 

a) We shall reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by Us (i.e. if you choose to have the product delivered at a higher cost, then We will only refund what you would have paid for the least expensive type of standard delivery offered).

b) We will reimburse in the same means of payment as for the initial transaction; in any event you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement. Please note that if you pay fully by Gift Card, the amount paid can only be reimbursed as a Gift Card. If partial payment is made by Gift Card, the amount paid via your chosen payment method will be reimbursed first via the same payment method. Any remaining amount will then be reimbursed to your Gift Card. 

(c) Y Your refund will be made within fourteen (14) business days from the day on which We receive the Product back from you or, if earlier, the day on which you provide Us with evidence that you have sent the Product back to Us.

(d) We may reduce your refund of the price (excluding delivery costs) to reflect any reduction in the value of the Product(s) if this has been caused by your handling them in a way which would not be permitted in a Swarovski Store. If We refund you the price paid before We are able to inspect the Product(s) and later discover you have handled them in an unacceptable way, you must pay Us an appropriate amount.

(e) Please retain your delivery note until you have received your refund. 

(f) It is not currently possible to return Products purchased in Swarovski Stores through the website: Swarovski Official | Jewellery, Watches and Crystal Decorations .

(g) Please note that if you decide to return only part of an order that has been purchased with a discount/promotion offer applied, the discount/promotion offer will be re-calculated.

(h) If you decide to return only part of an order that has been purchased with a discount/promotion offer applied, the amount refunded will be subject to the minimum purchase amount placed on the offer, the value of the discount will be adjusted accordingly, and only the amount relevant to the returned item will be refunded. If the items returned bring the remaining total below the minimum purchase level of the offer, then the discounted amount will be deducted from the refund amount. . 

For example, a 10% discount (with a minimum purchase amount of EURO 100) will be removed if the returned product(s) brings the total order value below EURO 100. In case of a promotion with staggered prices, always the lowest amount will be refunded.

For items which come in a single box (“normal set”), if you wish to return any of the items within the normal set, you will have to return all the items that were part of the normal set. Swarovski will not accept returns of individual items within the normal set and will only accept returns of the entire normal set.

For bundle-promotional sets, where you enjoy a promotion or discount as a result of purchasing one or more items (e.g. buy 3 items and get 10% off each item or where savings for each product are stated), you can return any of the items purchased separately. However, in case you choose to return any items purchased as a bundled set, kindly note that Swarovski will adjust the promotional price by charging you the regular price for the remaining items that you purchased as part of the bundle. Accordingly, Swarovski will deduct from the amount to be refunded to you (i.e. the discounted price paid for the item(s) in the bundle that you have returned) the difference between the regular price and the discounted price of the remaining items in the bundle that you do not return. 

We warrant the Products are of merchantable quality and free from material or workmanship defects, provided they are subject to normal use. No additional guarantee is provided.

The warranty period is two years from receipt of the Product(s).

This warranty does not cover damage to Products caused by accident, misuse and abuse, modification, attempted repair, negligence after purchase, ordinary wear and tear and/or failure to follow the Product’s care advice.

In the unlikely event your Product(s) are found to be defective under this warranty, please contact customer_relations.gb@swarovski.com or visit your nearest Swarovski Store. You will be asked for proof of purchase (e.g. your purchase or gift receipt), so please ensure you retain this. You will have the option of receiving a replacement Product, if available, or a full refund. 

For After Sale Services, please contact: customer_relations.gb@swarovski.com. 

Nothing in these GTCs shall have the effect of excluding or limiting in any way Our liability to you where it would be unlawful to do so. This includes liability for death or personal injury caused by Our negligence or the negligence of Our employees, agents or subcontractors; for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation; and for breach of your statutory rights in relation to the Product(s).

We are responsible to you for foreseeable loss and damage caused by Us. If We fail to comply with these GTCs, We are responsible for loss or damage you suffer that is a foreseeable result of Our breaking these GTCs or Our failing to use reasonable care and skill. Loss or damage is foreseeable if either it is obvious that it will happen or if, at the time the contract was made, both We and you knew it might happen (for example, if you discussed it with Us during the sales process). 

We are not liable for business losses. We only supply the Products for domestic and private use.

Your personal data will be processed in accordance with applicable law and Our Privacy Policy. Please refer to Our Privacy Policy if you wish to receive more information on the manner in which We use cookies, the type of information We collect, how and for what purpose We use your information, and under what circumstances We disclose information.

We may transfer Our rights and obligations under these GTCs to another Swarovski legal entity or third party with whom We have a legal relationship with. We will always ensure that the transfer will not affect your rights under these GTCs.

You may only transfer your rights or your obligations under these GTCs to another person if We agree to this in writing.

These GTCs are between you and Us. No other person shall have any rights to enforce any of its terms.

Each of the sectionss of these GTCs operates separately. If any court or relevant authority decides that any of them are unlawful, the remaining sections will remain in full force and effect.

If We do not insist immediately that you do anything you are required to do under these GTCs, or if We delay in taking steps against you in respect of your breaking these GTCs, that will not mean that you do not have to do those things and it will not prevent Us taking steps against you at a later date.

T These GTCs are governed by English law and you can bring legal proceedings in respect of the Products in the English courts. If you live in Scotland, you can bring legal proceedings in respect of the Products in either the Scottish or the English courts. If you live in Northern Ireland, you can bring legal proceedings in respect of the Products in either the Northern Irish or the English courts.

Alternative dispute resolution is a process where an independent body considers the facts of a dispute and seeks to resolve it, without you having to go to court. If you are not happy with how We have handled any complaint, you may want to contact the alternative dispute resolution provider of the European Commission via their website at http://www.netneutrals.eu. The alternative dispute resolution provider will not charge you for making a complaint and if you are not satisfied with the outcome you can still bring legal proceedings

This Purchase Order only becomes effective, if any export control and sanctions relevant screenings made by Swarovski at the time of dispatch of the ordered goods do not lead to a match. In case of any breach of this clause or any breach of trade law or export control regulations or sanctions, particularly in case that any screenings made by Swarovski lead to a match, this Purchase order will not come into force and Swarovski will neither be obliged to deliver any goods nor any compensation for non-performance will be due. Open orders shall be rescinded immediately. Notwithstanding the aforementioned, Swarovski shall be entitled to stop any delivery of goods, if any export control regulations and trade restrictions so require. Any compensation for non-performance shall be excluded.
