Where the shipping address provided is incorrect or essential information is missing, resulting in additional difficulties for the carrier, we reserve the right to apply a €6 surcharge to the shipping cost. The surcharge will only be applied when we consider that the incorrect or incomplete address has generated additional costs during the delivery process. In such cases, we will notify you of the situation and provide details of the additional amount before proceeding with the shipment.

This additional charge will be applied to cover the costs associated with the new delivery attempt.
If, after the order has been returned to our premises because it was not collected from the collection point, you decide to cancel the order, we reserve the right to deduct the cost associated with returning the order from any corresponding refund or compensation. This additional charge of €12 will be applied to cover the costs of returning the order to our premises.
If, after the order has been returned to our premises because it was not collected from the collection point, you request that we send the order again to the delivery address, we reserve the right to charge €12 to cover the costs associated with the new shipment. KIT CAT reserves the right to modify the shipping conditions at any time, duly notifying customers of such changes. Any situation not covered by these conditions will be subject to negotiation on a case-by-case basis.

If you request cancellation after the order has been handed over to the transport service and subsequently refuse delivery, we reserve the right to deduct the costs associated with shipping from the refund to be issued. These costs will be deducted from the total refund due to you, and you will be informed of this deduction together with the specific details.

RETURNS AND REFUNDS POLICY
A
Right of withdrawal
You may exercise your right of withdrawal in accordance with applicable regulations, cancelling the contract entered into and returning the order received. The procedure to be followed when exercising this right of withdrawal is as follows:

4. If the products do not arrive in optimal condition due to actions attributable to the customer, KIT CAT reserves the right not to accept the withdrawal or to refund a reduced amount for the order, taking into account the depreciation in the value of the product. In this respect, by way of illustration but not limitation, KIT CAT will consider the following circumstances:
- Packaging or wrapping that does not correspond to the original.
- Noticeable use and/or wear of the product.
- Stains, scratches, damage or unpleasant odours on the products.
The direct costs of returning the products will be borne by the customer.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal shall not apply in the following cases:

- Products that may deteriorate or expire quickly.
- Sealed products that are not suitable for return for health protection or hygiene reasons and that have been unsealed after delivery.
The description of each product will provide detailed information as to whether the product is excluded from the possibility of exercising the right of withdrawal.
B
Defective products
If a product purchased through the KIT CAT Platform has manufacturing or quality defects, you will have the right to request the return of the product and its subsequent refund or replacement. A defective product shall be understood as one that does not provide the level of safety that may legitimately be expected, taking into account all circumstances and, in particular, its presentation, the reasonably foreseeable use of the product and the time at which it was placed on the market. The procedure in the case of defective products shall be as follows:
1. You must notify us of any defects in the product by email at info@kitcat.es within 24 hours of receiving the order. KIT CAT may contact you to request additional information or evidence clearly demonstrating the existence of the reported defects in the product.
2. You must then send the product concerned to the address we provide, in its original packaging, including all accessories and documentation that accompanied the product at the time of delivery.
3. Once we receive the product, you may choose between a refund of the amount paid for the defective product or replacement of the product with one in perfect condition or a repaired product. KIT CAT reserves the right to choose between repairing or replacing the defective product, depending on which option is more appropriate and feasible. The choice will depend on the nature of the defect and the availability of similar products. If repair or replacement of the defective product is not possible, we undertake to provide a full refund, including the shipping costs associated with the defective product. In the case of defective products, the direct return costs will be borne by KIT CAT.
