The consumer’s right to withdraw from the contract

The consumer (the above applies only to natural persons who purchase an article for purposes outside their gainful employment) has the right to inform the seller within 14 days of receipt of the article that he is withdrawing from the contract without having to justify his decision. The period begins one day after the date of receipt of the items.

The consumer must notify the withdrawal from the contract to the e-mail address of the seller: support@bioteca.eu

Product contract withdrawal form is for users available here.

In case of cancellation of the contract, the consumer returns the article or returns it by mail to the address of the seller: Bioteca d.o.o., Velika pot 15, 5250 Solkan or brings it personally to the specified address of the seller.

The consumer must return the item to the seller without damage and in unchanged quantity, unless the item is destroyed, defective, lost or its reduced quantity without the consumer being at fault. The consumer of the articles may not use freely until the termination of the contract. The consumer may inspect and test the articles to the extent necessary to establish the actual situation. It is the consumer’s responsibility to reduce the value of the goods if the reduction is the result of behaviour not strictly necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.

The only cost to the consumer in relation to the cancellation of the contract is the cost of returning the items (which, if shipped, is charged according to the price list of the delivery service and depends on whether it is a shipment / parcel / goods). In the case of sales contracts, the company may withhold the refund of payments received until the return of the goods or until the consumer has proven that he has returned the goods, unless the company offers the opportunity to accept only the returned goods.

The consumer does not have the right to withdraw from the contract in the case of contracts whose subject matter is an article made according to the exact instructions of the consumer, which has been adapted to his personal needs, which by its nature is not suitable for a refund that is perishable or has expired.

Payments will be refunded as soon as possible and in any case within 14 days of receipt of the notice of withdrawal. The company will return payments to the consumer using the same payment method used by the consumer (which is more common with a payment to a transaction account) unless the consumer has explicitly requested the use of a different payment method and the consumer incurs no costs.

When you withdraw from a contract where a bonus, discount code or promotional code has been used, these funds are considered a discount and will not be returned to you. Only the amount returned to the user is refunded.

In exceptional cases, when items are not returned in accordance with regulations, we may offer the consumer the purchase of the item with adequate compensation, which is determined by the record at the time of return. The reduced refund is taken into account when the consumer confirms by e-mail. The consumer uses this redemption only when ordering another item of equal or greater value.

The right to a refund in the event of warranty claims and material errors is more strictly regulated by the provisions of the Consumer Protection Act.

Withdrawal of the consumer from the contract for bundled articles

If the consumer chooses to withdraw from the contract for the items that make up the kit, he may request a replacement for the entire kit for the same kit or a refund. The consumer can replace the item in the kit in case of a material defect or damage to the item and cannot claim a refund.

Complaints

All products are inspected and shipped intact before delivery. We will carefully pack your items in the delivery box to ensure that they arrive intact and in their original packaging.

In accordance with Section 37 of the Consumer Protection Act, the purchaser has the right, in the event of a product defect, to require the company to replace the defective product with a new defective product either to return the amount paid or to rectify the defect in the product or to return part of the amount paid in proportion to the error.

If the packaging is damaged, the buyer must notify its request to Bioteca d.o.o. within 8 days of receipt of the goods.

You can place your orders online from 0.00 to 24.00 every day. Delivery time is 7 business days. Orders received on Saturdays, Sundays or public holidays will be shipped the first following business day. In case there is no stock, the order is dispached in the next three days.

Delivery
