Our purpose is to guarantee your full satisfaction. If, for any reason whatsoever, you are not satisfied with your order, you may exercise your right to return purchased products within thirty (30) days of the date on which you received them from www.valentino.com. Returned items must be shipped back to the Vendor within thirty (30) days of the date the package was delivered to you. The products may be returned by dispatching the package through a shipping agent of your choice. For more information about couriers and expenses read the below Return Shipping section.

It is necessary to complete the Return Form available on the web site in the Customer Care area, in order for us to provide you with a Return Number. It is not possible to return an item in exchange for another.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF RETURN

The right to return products shall be deemed correctly exercised once the following conditions have been fully met:

• the online Return Form must be correctly completed and submitted to the Vendor within thirty (30) days of the date of your receipt thereof;
• the products have not been used, worn, washed, modified or damaged;
• the identification tag is still attached to the products with the disposable seal;
• the products are returned in their original packaging;
• the products must be returned within thirty (30) days from the date the package was delivered to you.

If you have fulfilled all requirements set forth above, the Vendor shall refund the entire price for the returned purchased products.

In this case, you may choose to have the products delivered to you at no expense to the Vendor. If you refuse the above delivery, the Vendor reserves the right to retain the products and the amount paid for your purchase of the products.

CUSTOMIZED PRODUCTS

Please note that the right of withdrawal is expressly excluded for customized items, in accordance with the provisions under Art. 59 paragraph 1 letter c) of the Consumer Code and with Valentino’s Terms and Conditions of Sale. Once the relative purchase order is sent to and accepted by Valentino, the customization may no longer be changed, no returns and/or refunds are possible and the customised items cannot be replaced.

RETURN SHIPPING

The return shipping is free if you use UPS or you can ship your returns to the Vendor with a shipping service of your choice and the return shipping will be at your own expense. Please verify that you have accurately completed and included with your package all the necessary documentation for Customs clearance. Please make sure to print and fill out 3 copies of the Returns Proforma Invoice that came with your parcel. Without all the copies the package will be rejected at Customs and will be returned to you.

Customs authorities require that all such documentation be written in English so that it can be used both by the authorities of the country you are shipping from (for export) and the Honk Kong authorities (for import). We recommend that you consult with local authorities and/or your selected shipping service to ensure that the documentation is sufficient. The Vendor cannot be held responsible for parcels that are detained at Customs because of lacking or insufficient documentation.

The Vendor therefore highly recommends that you choose a shipping service that permits you to trace it at any time.

REFUND TIMES AND PROCEDURES

After the Vendor has received the returned products and checked that the products meet all requirements, you will receive an email that the returned products have been accepted. Whatever the form of payment you used (Credit/Debit Card, PayPal where available), the refund procedure will start within 30 days of when the Vendor was informed of your decision to exercise your right to return the purchased products and once the Vendor has checked that the return was carried out in compliance with the above conditions.

The time period for refunding the amount you paid for purchasing the returned products depends on the payment type used:

• purchase by Credit/Debit Card: refund time will depend on the credit card company’s policies. We would like to assure you, however, that the value date for the credit will coincide with the date of the original payment; therefore you will not suffer any interest loss;
• payment by PayPal: refunds will be credited to your PayPal account and will be visible immediately. The actual reimbursement to the credit/debit card associated with your PayPal account depends on the company that issued the card.

IDENTIFICATION TAG

All products sold by the Vendor include an identification tag with a disposable seal. Please try on the products without removing the tag and seal. Returned products without the tag or seal will not be accepted.
