3.2. If you have not purchased the “Easy Return Service”

• Check your e-mail - you will receive the shipping instructions and the generated shipping label there.

• Hand over the parcel with this label at a Balikovo.sk branch and keep the proof of dispatch.

4. We already have your parcel

• As soon as we receive the parcel from you, we will inform you by e-mail.

• The replacement of goods depends on current stock availability. If we no longer have the product for replacement, we will automatically refund your money.

UNDER WHAT CONDITIONS CAN THE GOODS BE REPLACED OR RETURNED?

1. The goods must be returned within 30 days from their receipt.

2. The goods must be unworn and fit for further sale.

3. The goods must be wrapped in the original packaging, which must not be damaged. Any use of adhesive tape, inscriptions, stickers, holes, dirt, grease, moisture, etc. is not acceptable.

4. Try on the goods only in a clean and dry indoor environment, because we can settle your request for a complaint or for the return of goods favourably only if the returned goods are clean, undamaged, unwashed, dry and with their original labels.

5. Try on purchased shoes only on a clean and dry surface, for example at home on a carpet, floor tiles, etc. If you decide to return the shoes or file a complaint about them and the soles show signs of wear (even slight), we cannot accept your request. The shoe box is part of the product and, when returning or replacing goods, you must send it with the shoes inside and in perfect condition.

6. If we find during the processing of the return that the goods are damaged in a way that could not have occurred during their manufacture (scratches, stains, torn-off zipper pulls, etc.), please note that we will return the goods to you at your expense.

HOW TO PROCEED WITH A COMPLAINT ABOUT GOODS?

Before you decide to file a complaint about goods, please read our Rules of Complaints. You will find there all the information you will need when filing a complaint about goods, as well as all the rights and obligations of the seller and the buyer.

Complaint procedure:

1. Wash the goods thoroughly and remove all dirt from the goods you are complaining about.

2. Pack the cleaned goods properly so that they cannot be damaged during transport. Enclose a copy of the invoice and the completed complaint form, which can be downloaded HERE.

3. Send the goods you are complaining about according to these instructions:

• Generate a return label by filling in the form at this link. Enter the order number as the “reference number”.

• Check your e-mail - you will receive the shipping instructions and the generated shipping label there.

• Hand over the parcel with this label at a Balikovo.sk branch and keep the proof of dispatch.

As soon as we receive the goods you are complaining about, we will inform you by e-mail and the 30-day period for processing the complaint begins (or a longer period, if agreed). We will also inform you by e-mail or by phone about how the complaint is resolved. We reserve the right to remedy the defect primarily by repair (remediable defect) or by replacement of the goods (irremediable defect) or by a refund (if neither of the previous options is possible).

Main principles of complaints

1. A complaint must be filed without undue delay, immediately after the defect was discovered during a timely inspection and with due care. If the defect is not reported immediately and you continue to use the product, the goods may be devalued, which may be a reason for rejecting the complaint.

2. You can file a complaint within 24 months of receiving the goods.

3. You can file a complaint if the product does not have the properties stated by the seller or if the goods do not correspond in quality or workmanship.

4. If the buyer discovers a defect already when receiving the goods, the buyer is obliged to notify the seller without undue delay.

5. The seller is not liable for defects corresponding to wear and tear of the goods caused by their ordinary use, nor for defects arising from failure to follow the instructions in the care instructions for the given goods, in particular if the item is damaged, for example, by washing at an incorrectly set temperature, washing together with goods of a different colour, washing in an automatic washing machine in the case of goods that may only be hand-washed, dry cleaning or ironing in the case of goods that cannot be dry-cleaned or ironed, etc.

6. For the proper handling of a complaint, it is necessary to prove that the goods were purchased from the seller and that the period for filing a complaint has not yet expired. The goods handed over for assessment within the complaint must be clean, washed and free of all dirt, must meet the requirements for the hygienically safe handover of goods for the complaint procedure and must be protected against damage during transport.

7. The complaint, including the removal of the defect, will be handled without undue delay, at the latest within 30 days of the day it was filed, unless a longer period is agreed with the customer.
