In order to comply with the withdrawal period, the customer must send his notice of exercise of the right of withdrawal before the end of the withdrawal period.

The customer must return the goods to Studio AMA forthwith, but in any case no later than 14 calendar days after the day on which he has informed Studio AMA of his decision to withdraw from the contract.

The direct costs of returning the goods shall be borne entirely by the customer.

3.

If the returned product is depreciated in any way, Studio AMA reserves the right to hold the client liable and to claim compensation for any depreciation of the goods resulting from the use of the goods by the client that goes beyond what is necessary to determine the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.

4.

Only items that are in their original packaging, together with all accessories, instructions for use and invoice or proof of purchase can be returned.

  • the delivery of goods which, after delivery, are irrevocably mixed by their nature with other products or odours.
