Right to withdrawals & Returns

9.1 General. In accordance with applicable laws on distance selling transactions, we offer our customers a right of withdrawal without giving any reason.

9.2 Exercising your withdrawal right. You have the right to withdraw from purchasing a Product within 14 days without giving any reason. The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you, or a third party, other than the carrier and designated by you to receive the goods, acquires physical possession of the Product.

To exercise your right of withdrawal, you can directly contact our Customer Support through the Help Center / FAQ page available on our website.

Timely submission of the notice of withdrawal before the end of the withdrawal period is sufficient for observing the withdrawal deadline.

Refusal of delivery or the return of a good without a declaration of withdrawal does not suffice to express your wish to withdraw.

9.3 Exceptions to the right of withdrawal for medical products. In accordance with applicable laws, exemptions to the right of withdrawal apply in several circumstances, in particular for sealed medical devices opened by the consumer that cannot be returned for health or hygiene reasons.

As a result, if you have unsealed the medical device, you will not be eligible to the right of withdrawal (and its various consequences).

9.4 Returns. It is important to follow the return process, which begins by making a withdrawal request through our Customer Support Team, as detailed in section 9.1. Any Product returned without following the return process will not qualify for a refund (including returns made directly to our headquarters which will not qualify for a refund).

You are responsible for the shipping and return costs, and may return your Product after obtaining a pre-filled return label from our customer support team to facilitate the return process, which we strongly recommend. In this case, a €/CHF/£ 10 deduction will be applied on your refund to cover the costs of issuing this return label.

Alternatively, you may choose to directly return and ship your Product using the courier of your choice. In this case, our Customer Support Team will share the address to be used to return the Product. The Products are your responsibility until they reach our warehouse. As a result, before returning the Product, you must ensure that it is properly protected and sealed so that it does not suffer any damage during transport. We recommend you obtain a proof of postage. Any foreign taxes or customs charges paid by Aktiia upon a return initiated by the Customer will be deducted from the refunded amount.

To qualify for a refund in accordance with this section 9, returned goods must be in their original packaging. We will then refund the full amount of the Product, including delivery costs (with the exception of any additional costs incurred by your optional choice of another mode of delivery other than the least expensive standard delivery offered by us).

You shall return or deliver the Product to us promptly and in any event no later than 14 calendar days after the date on which you inform us that you are withdrawing from this agreement. This deadline is deemed to have been respected if you return the goods before the expiry of the 14-day period.

In case where you cannot meet this delay, please inform the Aktiia Customer Support Team. After this period, with no return from your side, we will automatically close your return request. You are liable for any diminished value of the Product resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the Products’ nature, characteristics, and functioning. In any case, you are obliged to bear all upcoming costs for shipping due to your withdrawal.

9.5 Refunds. When you make a qualifying return, we will process the refund using the same payment method that you used for the original transaction.

We will withhold the refund until the Products have been returned to us, and inspected.

We will credit the full amount you paid, less the return shipping deductions (as stated in section 9.4) and other deductions, if applicable, without undue delay and, in any event, no later than 30 days from the day we receive the returned Product.

Product Warranty

10.1 Warranty. Subject to Section 10.2, Products are warranted for two years unless a mandatory law applicable to you provide for a more extended warranty period (in which case such period will apply). The warranty start date is the delivery of the Products, which must be evidenced by the original invoice for the Product in question, issued by Aktiia or one of our partners. The foregoing is without prejudice to more extended statutory limitations periods. This warranty period continues to be valid irrespective of the fulfilment of possible warranty or replacement services.

Aktiia explicitly excludes warranty for wear and tear parts such as batteries, straps and for software problems. Otherwise, liability exclusion pursuant to section 12 applies.

Any valid warranty on Aktiia Products is passed on to potential buyers of second-hand devices (e.g. resale platforms), upon presentation of the original invoice evidencing the date of initial purchase.

10.2 Exclusions. Excluded from the warranty under Section 10.1 of these T&C are, in particular, damages resulting from improper use of the Products, any use contrary to the instructions of Aktiia or for a purpose which is not indicated, negligence, modifications, attempted repair via unauthorised party, improper storage, submersion in water or conservation of the Products, accident, defects resulting from the transport of the Products, as well as normal loss or wear and tear.

10.3 Effect. To determine if your Product is eligible for a replacement under warranty, please contact Aktiia Customer Support Team through the Help Center / FAQ page available on our website. Based on the information provided, Aktiia Customer Support Team may request for you to return the Product, or to destroy it. If a return is required, Aktiia Customer Support Team will provide you a return shipping label to be used for return of the item. Only items shipped utilizing the provided label will be accepted. Please do not ship your item to any other address or utilizing any other method than as instructed by Aktiia Customer Support Team. Once your device has been received, it will be inspected to determine if your item meets the conditions under warranty. If the warranty conditions are met, we will replace the defective Product. Product warranty as well as Product Support is only applicable and effective in the territories where Aktiia’s Products are or have been commercialized. Replacement devices may only be shipped to countries where the Product is marketed.

When we replace a defective Product, the original warranty period continues to apply for the replaced device.
