10.6 Right to cancel the purchase agreement
Your rights specified in this section 10.6 are in addition to your rights under the consumer guarantees in the Consumer Protection Act of Taiwan. 
Items purchased from the Website (with the exception of gift cards, used pierced earrings, Active Crystal headphones) may be returned within 7 days after the date of their receipt by you. To take advantage of this return policy you must notify Swarovski by contacting customer service hotline at +886 0800 777 647 (within 7 days of the date goods are received by you) of your intent to return your item(s), and our designated courier will be arranged to collect the items(s) from you. In this case, items must be packed in their original condition.
If you choose to take advantage of this return policy, Swarovski will refund the full cost of your order once the items have been received.
You may also return goods in accordance with any rights you may have under the consumer guarantees in the Consumer Protection Act of Taiwan.
You can obtain further information and assistance with respect to the return of goods by choosing Customer Service Returns Policy from the website menu.

If you decide to return only part of an order that has been purchased with a discount/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 NTD 1000) will be removed if the returned product(s) brings the total order value below NTD 1000. 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.

10.7 Liability in relation to goods

10.8 Prohibition of assignment
You may only assign, or transfer your rights under any purchase agreements to a third party with Swarovski Hong Kong Ltd prior written consent.

And the Taiwan Taipei District Court shall be the court of competent jurisdiction for the first instance. 

10.10. Export control and sanctions
