SPECIAL NOTES
a. Calendar days = any day of the calendar, regardless of whether it is a public holiday or weekend (Saturday, Sunday).
Example: If you received a parcel today and you have a 14-calendar-day return period, and the next 5 days are non-working days (public holidays or weekend), these 5 days are still counted within your return period.
b. Business days = Monday to Friday, except when these days are public holidays.
Example: If you received a return confirmation today and we specify a 3–5 business-day refund period, and the next 5 days are non-working days (public holidays or including a weekend), these 5 days are not counted, as they are not part of the regular working schedule. We cannot guarantee the availability of our services or support during these days.
c. Any changes to this policy will be announced by publishing the date on which the latest modifications were made. This date also becomes the effective date from which the updated policy applies.
d. You have the right to request a previous version of this policy, provided you present a valid and justified reason.
