🧾 Withdrawal and Refund Policy
(pursuant to Articles 52 and following of the Italian Consumer Code – Legislative Decree 206/2005)
In accordance with current consumer protection regulations, customers purchasing as consumers have the right to withdraw from the purchase contract within 14 (fourteen) days from receipt of the products, without providing any reason and without incurring any penalty, except for return shipping costs.
📦 Products Excluded from the Right of Withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply in the following cases:
- Perishable food products or those with a short expiration date
- Products that have been opened, tampered with, or even partially consumed
- Sealed products that are not suitable for return for hygiene or health protection reasons and that have been opened after delivery
For this reason, most of our food products are NOT eligible for return, unless they are defective or received damaged.
📨 How to Exercise the Right of Withdrawal
To exercise the right of withdrawal, the customer must send a written notice within 14 days of receiving the product. The notice can be sent:
- by email to: info@amicearth.it
- or via the contact form available on the website
The communication must include:
- Customer’s full name
- Order number
- Date of purchase and date of receipt
- Description of the products to be returned
- Optional reason for the return (not required but helpful to improve our service)
📦 Conditions for Return Acceptance
To qualify for a refund, the returned products must:
- Be intact, unopened, unused, and in their original sealed packaging
- Be accompanied by a copy of the invoice or order confirmation
- Be returned within 14 days from the date the withdrawal notice was sent
Products that are returned damaged, opened, or do not meet these conditions will not be refunded.
💸 Return Shipping Costs
Return shipping costs are the responsibility of the customer, except in the following cases:
- Products were received damaged
- An incorrect product was sent
In these cases, AmicEarth will cover the cost of replacement or a full refund, including return shipping expenses.
💳 Refund Timing and Method
Once the returned products are received and verified, we will process the refund within 14 business days using the same payment method used by the customer at the time of purchase (unless otherwise agreed).
For payments made via bank transfer, the customer must provide bank details (IBAN and account holder’s name) to enable the refund.
