ARTICLE. RIGHT TO RETURN
The Buyer shall bear the cost of returning Products to the Seller. Additionally, the Buyer will have to pay compensation for any loss of value of the Products if such loss is attributable to improper handling of the Products when examining the quality, properties and way of functioning of the Products.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Seller may, from time to time, offer to bear the return shipping costs or offer the return of the Products at a fixed return shipping rate, provided that Buyer uses the return shipping label provided by the Seller within the country of delivery and provided that Buyer meets any other conditions for eligibility for this offer, as communicated by the Seller from time to time. Such conditions may include, without limitation, the purchasing of full price Products. If the Buyer chooses to return Products at a fixed return shipping rate offered by the Seller, the return shipping rate will be deducted by the Seller from the refund of the price of the Products paid by the Buyer or will be invoiced to the Buyer, if the Buyer has not paid the price of the Products in full. The Buyer remains free, at all times, to select a different return shipment method and return the Products at Buyer’s own cost. .
In the case referred to in the preceding subsection, the Seller will refund the Purchase Price as quickly as possible, but in any event within 30 days after G-Star received the returned product. If not all the Products that form part of the Agreement are returned, the Seller will be entitled to deduct the original shipping costs from the Purchase Price to be refunded because the same amount of shipping costs will be due for the Products that have not been returned.
The Seller is not liable for any damage as a result of a delay in the delivery or a failure to deliver that has been caused by circumstances that impede the Seller from complying with its obligations, and that cannot be attributed to the Seller because they cannot be blamed on the Seller, and cannot be deemed to be for the Seller’s account in accordance with the law, a legal act or in accordance with generally accepted standards, such as - but not restricted to - war, threat of war, civil war, riots, a day of national mourning announced by the government, strikes, transport problems, trade limitations, problems with customs authorities, fire, flooding, earthquake or the bankruptcy of third parties engaged by the Seller, a failure on the part of the Seller’s suppliers to supply goods or a failure on the part of the Seller’s suppliers to supply goods in a timely manner, interruptions in the supply of goods to be delivered by third parties, including water and electricity, and other serious interruptions in the business operations of the Seller or third parties that it engages.
If as a result of a situation involving force majeure the Seller fails to comply with its obligations under the Agreement or fails to do so in a timely manner, the Seller will be entitled to perform the Agreement within a reasonable term or – if compliance within a reasonable term is not possible – to dissolve the Agreement in whole or in part, without the Seller being obliged to pay the Buyer any compensation in that respect.
