RETURN POLICY

Pursuant to Article 52 of the Italian Legislative Decree 206/2005, as amended by Legislative Decree 21/2014, the Customer has the right to withdraw from the General Terms and, consequently, from the purchase contract for any reason, without the need to provide explanations or incur penalties, within 14 (fourteen) working days from the date of receipt of the products.

To exercise the right of withdrawal, the Customer must send a written communication to the email address customercare@elvaquero.it or use the dedicated button in the My Orders section of the website, within the specified timeframe. Once the request is sent, the Customer must await explicit authorization from the company to proceed with the return.

The products must be returned intact, complete with all their parts, and in their original packaging (bags and boxes). Products may only be used for the time strictly necessary to verify their nature, characteristics, and size.

Customized items, made-to-order products, or modified products are not eligible for return or exchange, as they are specifically created based on the Customer’s preferences.

Return or exchange shipping costs are the responsibility of the Customer, except in cases where the Customer has purchased EV Care insurance at the time of order. This option guarantees a free exchange, providing greater flexibility without additional costs to the Customer.

VGC will reimburse the Customer for the full amount already paid, minus the shipping costs, which vary by country and are indicated in the following section, within 14 (fourteen) days of the withdrawal. The refund will be processed using the same payment method used for the purchase unless otherwise agreed. The refund may be withheld until the returned product is received or until the Customer provides proof of having shipped it correctly.

The right of withdrawal is subject to the following conditions:

·       The return must pertain to the entire product; it is not possible to exercise the right of withdrawal on only part of the purchased product (e.g., accessories or components).

·       The product must not show signs of wear or dirt and must be returned intact and in its original packaging, complete with all parts (including any documents and accessories such as labels, tags, seals, etc.).

·       The shipment is under the Customer's responsibility until the product is received at the following address:
El Vaquero, Via Falciano 36 – 51011 Buggiano (PT) - Italy.

·       In the event of damage to the product during transportation, VGC will inform the Customer to enable them to file a claim with the courier and obtain a refund. The product will then be made available to the Customer, and the withdrawal request will be canceled.

·       VGC is not responsible for damages, theft, or loss occurring during the return shipment.

·        

The Customer will lose the right of withdrawal if:

·       The returned product and/or its accessories and/or packaging are not intact.

·       The product lacks the original external and/or internal packaging.

·       The product is missing essential elements and/or accessories (e.g., closures, laces, buckles, etc.).

In such cases, VGC will return the product to the Customer, charging the shipping costs and retaining the product price.
