Refund Policy

The provisions of this article apply only to customers who, in their capacity as consumers, purchase items online from Velvet. The customer has the right to return the goods within a period of 14 calendar days without providing reasons. The return period expires 14 calendar days after the day on which the customer or a third party designated by the customer, who is not the carrier, physically takes possession of the goods. The direct costs of returning the goods are the responsibility of the customer. The customer can use the enclosed shipping label, but is not obliged to use it. When the customer uses the enclosed label, the return shipping costs, amounting to 6 euros (for returns from Belgium and The Netherlands), will be deducted from the refund amount. To exercise the return, the customer must notify their return via email to webshop@velvetstore.be. The customer can use the attached return form for this purpose, but it is not mandatory. To comply with the return period, the customer must send their notice regarding the exercise of the right of withdrawal before the return period expires. The customer must return the goods no later than 14 calendar days after receiving the goods, to Vrijheid 106A, 2320 Hoogstraten. The customer is on time if they return the goods before the 14 calendar days period expires. The customer is requested to return the items in their original condition and packaging, with all accessories and instructions included. If the returned product has decreased in value in any way, Velvet reserves the right to hold the customer liable and demand compensation for any decrease in the value of the goods resulting from the use of the goods by the customer beyond what is necessary to determine the nature, characteristics, and functioning of the goods. All returned items are carefully examined, with the assumption that the consumer may only inspect the item as they would in a store. Returned items may be tried on but must not be used. If an item has decreased in value due to the customer's use, this will be charged to the customer. If the customer returns the agreement, Velvet will refund all payments received from the customer up to that point within a maximum of 5 calendar days after Velvet has received the goods back. Velvet will refund the customer using the same payment method used for the original transaction, unless the customer expressly agrees otherwise; in any case, the customer will not be charged any fees for such a refund.

Delivery and Execution of the Agreement

After ordering, Velvet prepares the goods for shipment. If goods are ordered before 11 am (GMT+1), delivery can be expected within 2 working days (for deliveries to Belgium). Items ordered through this webshop are delivered throughout Europe by Bpost. Shipping costs for purchases under €99 are charged at €6 (to Belgium and The Netherlands). Deliveries are free for orders over €99 (to Belgium and The Netherlands). Additionally, customers can choose to pick up the goods for free in the store. Any visible damage or qualitative deficiency in an item or other deficiency in the delivery must be reported to Velvet immediately by the customer. The risk of loss or damage passes to the customer from the moment they (or a third party designated by them, who is not the carrier) physically takes possession of the goods. However, the risk already passes to the customer upon delivery to the carrier if the carrier has been instructed by the customer to transport the goods, and this choice was not offered by Velvet.
