Return and refund policy

2. Refund method
The refund will be made using the same payment method used for the purchase, unless technically impossible or expressly agreed otherwise with the customer.
In accordance with applicable law, the refund will be processed within a maximum of 14 days after one of the following events occurs, whichever occurs first:
a) Physical receipt of the returned products; OR
b) Clear and valid proof of shipment of the returned products by the customer.
Refunds will only be made after verification of compliance with the return conditions, namely the integrity, non-use, and original condition of the products.

- Not collected at the collection point;
- Unjustified refusal to accept delivery;
The customer can choose between:

EVAN Care may withhold the refund until the returned products have been received and verified or until valid proof of their shipment has been provided, as provided for by law.
