The refund of the payments made will be made as soon as possible and at the latest within 30 days from the receipt of the notice of withdrawal.

In the event of withdrawal from the contract where the delivery was charged, only the amount that includes the items will be returned to the buyer. The cost of delivery is borne by the buyer. In case of withdrawal from the contract where the discount code was used, only the paid amount is returned to the buyer.
