The customer may, within a 14 day-period, after receiving the product, return it. Within the same period, the customer may complain of any defects or inadequacy of the product in relation to the one ordered, for which COSTA VERDE is responsible.

In accordance, the complaint must be made formal, by using the form available on the website, for this purpose, or by email sent to [email protected].

COSTA VERDE reserves the right to request photographic support relating to defective items or goods wrongly sent, before authorising the return, for the purposes of reimbursement of transport costs and import duties.

The support team at https://costa-verde.com/en/ will coordinate with the customer how to return the goods, should this be justified, in which case COSTA VERDE will assume the costs of returning the goods and the costs of a new delivery.

For situations in which the reasons for the return are not the responsibility of COSTA VERDE, the return will be accepted, after checking the good condition of the returned items and their packaging, with a refund of the amount paid by the customer, less the costs of transport of the delivery (even if these have been accepted by COSTA VERDE) and the costs of transport of the return, in accordance with the values defined in point 4 of this document. Consequently, COSTA VERDE reserves the right not to accept returns of products without prior notice, as mentioned above, and that do not meet the same conditions of conformity as on the date of their delivery to the purchaser, namely products that have undergone any kind of use, processing, damage and/or lack of original packaging/accessories/complements.
