This Refund & Returns Policy explains how returns, refunds and complaints work when you buy from Refura.pl (the "Store"). It is based on your rights under EU and Polish consumer law and our internal processes.

Nothing in this policy limits your statutory consumer rights.

This policy should be read together with our Terms & Conditions. If there is any inconsistency between this Refund & Returns Policy and our Terms & Conditions, the Terms & Conditions shall prevail to the extent permitted by law. In any case, your statutory consumer rights always apply.

1. Types of Returns

There are two main ways you can return products:

Change of Mind (14-Day Right of Withdrawal)

  • You changed your mind or are not satisfied for any reason
  • Applies to most online purchases by consumers

Defective or Not as Described (Lack of Conformity)

  • The product stops working properly or is not as described
  • Covered by our legal guarantee (1 year for refurbished/used goods)

2. 14-Day Right of Withdrawal (Change of Mind)

This Section applies only to Consumers and Entrepreneur-Consumers.

Business Customers are not entitled to a statutory 14-day withdrawal from the contract. We may accept returns from Business Customers purely as a matter of goodwill, subject to our prior written consent and on individually agreed conditions.

2.1 Who Can Use It?

If you are a consumer or an entrepreneur-consumer (sole trader buying for non-professional purposes), you can withdraw from a distance contract without giving any reason within 14 days.

2.2 When Does the 14-Day Period Start?

  • For a single product: on the day you (or a person you indicate) receive the product
  • For an order with multiple products delivered separately: on the day you receive the last item in the order

2.3 How to Exercise Your Right of Withdrawal

Within 14 days:

Send us a clear statement that you wish to withdraw, for example:

  • By email to [email protected], or
  • Via the withdrawal/returns form in your Refura account or order page (if available), or
  • By post to our registered address

You may (but do not have to) use the model withdrawal form available on our website.

Your notice is on time if you send it before the 14-day period expires.

2.4 Returning the Product

After sending your withdrawal notice, you must send the product back to the return address indicated in our instructions:

  • Deadline: within 14 days from the day you told us you are withdrawing
  • You are responsible for packaging the product safely so it is not damaged in transit
  • Proof of shipment: We recommend using a tracked shipping service. Proof of shipment (e.g. tracking receipt) is sufficient to show you returned the goods on time

2.5 Condition of the Product

You may handle and inspect the product only as you would in a physical store:

Normal Handling (no deduction):

  • Opening the packaging carefully
  • Powering on the device and testing basic functions
  • Using the product for a short time to check it works as described

Excessive Handling (we may deduct for diminished value):

  • Intensive or extended use (e.g. using a laptop for many hours of work or gaming, using a phone as your main phone for a week)
  • Scratches, cracks, dents, water damage or other visible damage
  • Missing original accessories (e.g. charger, cables) that were included with the product. We may reduce the refund by a reasonable value for missing accessories
  • Attempting to repair or modify the device

Note: Original packaging is not required for returns, but please pack the product safely so it is not damaged in transit.

For refurbished goods, normal wear and tear consistent with the stated grade on the product page is acceptable and will not result in a deduction.

If the product is returned with diminished value due to excessive handling, we may reduce your refund accordingly, as allowed by EU law.

2.6 Return Shipping Costs (Change of Mind)

For 14-day change-of-mind returns by Consumers and Entrepreneur-Consumers, you pay the direct cost of return shipping, unless we explicitly offer free returns for that product or promotion.

You are free to choose any carrier, but we recommend using a tracked shipment.

In the case of returns by Business Customers accepted by us as a matter of goodwill, the Business Customer bears the full cost and risk of returning the goods, unless we explicitly agree otherwise in writing.

3. Refunds for 14-Day Withdrawals

When you withdraw within 14 days:

  • We refund all payments received from you for the product, including the initial delivery cost up to the cost of the cheapest standard delivery option we offered
  • We do not refund any extra fees for premium delivery services you chose (e.g. express or weekend delivery)

3.1 Refund Timing

We will refund you without undue delay and in any event within 14 days of being informed of your decision to withdraw.

We may withhold the refund until we have received the goods back or you have provided proof of having sent them back, whichever comes first.

3.2 Refund Method

Refunds are made using the same payment method you used for the original transaction, unless we agree otherwise.

You will not incur any fees for the refund itself.

4. Returns and Complaints for Defective / Non-Conforming Products

The rules in this Section concerning lack of conformity of goods with the contract apply to Customers who are Consumers or Entrepreneur-Consumers, in accordance with the Polish Consumer Rights Act.

In relations with Business Customers, the provisions of the Civil Code apply, and we may limit or exclude statutory liability to the extent permitted by law. In contracts concluded exclusively with Business Customers, our statutory liability for defects (rękojmia) is excluded to the maximum extent permitted by the Civil Code. Any liability for defects will arise only from an expressly agreed commercial warranty (if granted).

Apart from the 14-day withdrawal right, you also have a legal guarantee if the product is not in conformity with the contract (e.g. it stops working properly, is not as described, has hidden defects).

4.1 Warranty Period

All products sold by Refura are refurbished goods. The statutory warranty period is 1 year from delivery, as permitted by Polish law for used goods.

During this period, you have the right to repair, replacement, price reduction, or refund if defects are discovered.

4.2 What Counts as a Defect / Lack of Conformity?

A product has a defect or lacks conformity if:

Examples of Defects (Covered by Guarantee):

  • The device does not power on or frequently shuts down unexpectedly
  • Critical functions stop working (e.g. touchscreen unresponsive, camera fails, Wi-Fi/Bluetooth doesn't work)
  • Battery drains abnormally fast or performs significantly worse than described in the product listing
  • The product is different from what you ordered (wrong model, colour, or storage capacity)
  • The condition is clearly worse than the grade described on the product page (e.g. Grade A with deep scratches)
  • Software issues that prevent normal use and cannot be resolved by standard troubleshooting

Examples of Normal Wear (Not Defects):

  • Minor cosmetic marks on Grade B products (light scratches, small scuffs consistent with description)
  • Moderate cosmetic wear on Grade C products (visible scratches, dents as described)
  • Battery capacity slightly lower than new (normal for refurbished devices; we list battery health percentage)
  • Minor discoloration of plastic/metal consistent with the stated grade
  • Wear on accessories like charging cables after normal use

If you're unsure whether an issue is a defect or normal wear for your product's grade, please contact us with photos and we'll assess it.

4.3 Your Rights if the Product is Defective

If the product is not in conformity, you may request, in this order:

  1. Repair or replacement (primary remedies), and only if these are impossible, disproportionate or not done within a reasonable time, you may request:
  2. Price reduction or contract termination (refund)

We will always follow the order and conditions set by applicable EU and Polish law when handling your complaint.

4.4 How to Make a Defect Complaint

Please contact us as soon as you notice the problem:

Email: [email protected] (or use the complaint form in your account, if available)

Include:

  • Your name and contact details
  • Order number
  • Product name and serial/IMEI (if applicable)
  • Description of the defect and when it appeared
  • Your preferred solution (repair, replacement, price reduction, or refund)
  • Attach photos or videos if they help to show the issue

We will respond without undue delay, usually within 14 days. If we do not respond within 14 days, your complaint may be treated as accepted under applicable law.

If You Disagree with Our Decision

If you are not satisfied with how we handle your complaint, you have the right to:

  • Contact the Office of Competition and Consumer Protection (UOKiK) at www.uokik.gov.pl
  • Use alternative dispute resolution (ADR) services available through national consumer organizations
  • File a complaint with the Provincial Inspectorate for Trade Inspection (WIIH)
  • Pursue your claim through the courts

Nothing in this policy affects your right to seek resolution through these channels.

4.5 Return Shipping Costs (Defective Goods)

If the product is defective or not as described, we provide and pay for return shipping (for example, by sending you a prepaid label or arranging a courier pickup).

If you choose another return method on your own initiative, we will refund reasonable and documented shipping costs.

5. Processing of Defective Returns and Refunds

Once we receive the returned product:

Our technicians will inspect and test the device.

If the defect is confirmed and your complaint is accepted, we will:

  • Repair the product and send it back, or
  • Replace it with an equivalent product, or
  • If repair or replacement is not possible or disproportionate, offer a partial refund (price reduction) or a full refund in line with your statutory rights

If a full refund is due, we will:

  • Refund the product price and the initial delivery costs (up to the cheapest standard delivery option you chose)
  • Refund return shipping costs we agreed to cover

If the inspection shows that:

  • The product is working properly, or
  • The defect is due to misuse, physical damage, or unauthorised modification

We will inform you. In such cases, we may:

  • Reject the complaint
  • Return the product to you at your own cost, and
  • (If you agree) offer a paid repair if possible

6. Exceptions to the 14-Day Right of Withdrawal

In line with EU consumer rights law (Directive 2011/83/EU), the 14-day withdrawal right does not apply in particular to the following types of products:

  • Custom-made or clearly personalised products: Devices that have been customized or engraved specifically for you
  • Sealed hygiene items once unsealed: Products that cannot be returned for health protection or hygiene reasons once unsealed by you (e.g. in-ear earbuds, certain personal audio accessories)
  • Digital content not on a tangible medium: Downloadable software, digital licenses, or apps supplied immediately after you have given your express consent to begin delivery and acknowledged that you lose your right of withdrawal

If any of these exceptions apply to a product, we will clearly state this on the product page before you purchase.

These exceptions do not affect your legal guarantee rights for defective or non-conforming products under Section 4.

This policy applies to consumers and entrepreneur-consumers as defined by Polish law. Business customers who do not qualify as consumers may have different return conditions governed by our commercial agreement.

7. How Refunds Are Paid

Refunds are made to the same payment method you used for the original transaction (card, online payment, bank transfer, etc.), unless we agree otherwise with you.

You will not incur any fees for the refund itself.

If a refund cannot be processed to the original payment method (for example, an expired or closed card), we will contact you to request alternative payment details so we can complete the refund.

You will receive an email confirmation once we issue the refund. Please note that your bank or payment provider may need several days to process it and show it in your account.

7A. Application of Consumer Rights

Nothing in this Policy extends any statutory consumer rights to Business Customers beyond what is expressly required by applicable Polish and EU law.

Where Polish law grants certain Consumer rights also to Entrepreneur-Consumers, those rights apply regardless of this Policy.
