Nevertheless, in the event that a Purchaser wishes to return the product we sent to him, this is possible if the following conditions are met:
i. Return of defective products
Our Shop is a reseller of products and as a reseller we are not personally liable for any product defects. Many of our products are handmade which makes them unique. This means that there may be slight differences between the same products and the product you will receive, compared to the image shown on the website.
Our Shop checks every product before sending it so that it does not have obvious defects. In the event, however, that the product proves to be defective upon receipt, the following product return policy shall be observed: In order for this return policy, for defective products, to apply, the Purchaser must inform the Shop within five (5) calendar days of receiving the product by e-mail to the email address info@marejewellery.gr, describing the defect of the product and if possible, attaching photographic material. After contacting our Shop, the Purchaser must have returned the product within a reasonable time, which should not exceed fourteen (14) calendar days from the date of receipt, in its complete original packaging and with all documents that accompanied the product. If it is a defect discovered later after delivery and the packaging is not present, packaging of the product is not required. Upon receipt of the product, our Shop will check for the defect reported by the Purchaser and then contact the Purchaser either to confirm the defect or to inform them that there is no defect.
If the defect is confirmed, our Shop will arrange for the replacement or repair of the product. In case the product is provided with a guarantee and on the condition that the return is made within the limits of the above guarantee, our Shop will refer you to its supplier or importer, in order for him to undertake its repair.
In the event that it is not possible to repair it and no other product of similar characteristics or equivalent value can be found for replacement, the money paid will be returned to the Purchaser. In case of cancellation of the transaction, the refund of the initial purchase is made in the same way as the initial payment of the Purchaser to the Shop.
In particular, in the event of a charge via credit card, the Shop will be obliged to inform the issuing Bank of the cancellation of the transaction and the Bank will then proceed with every act provided for in the contract it has drawn up with the Purchaser, without any further liability of the Shop. Following this information, the Shop does not bear any responsibility for the time and method of execution of the offsetting, which is regulated by the Bank's procedures. In case of cash on delivery, the amount of the refund will be credited to a bank account that the Purchaser will indicate in writing by electronic mail (e-mail) to the electronic address info@marejewellery.gr.
In any case, the Purchaser should be aware that as long as it is possible to correct the defect or replace the defective product, it is not possible to refund the price.
In case of returning a defective product, the Purchaser will not be charged with the shipping costs if he chooses a) the courier with which the Shop cooperates, b) the most economical shipping option, c) the shipment is made within Greece and d) it is the first return of the specified product.
