Please ensure that all items are returned clean, unworn, with their tags, and in the original packaging. Any faulty item can be returned. Any non-faulty items that are not in a condition suitable for resale (i.e. used or damaged), will not be refunded and be sent back to you at your own expense
When returning, please include the packing note received with your order. As soon as we have received the return, the item(s) will go through a quality control check.

Once the return has been accepted, all successfully returned items will be credited to the credit card used to originally purchase the item(s). The original shipping charges will not be refunded. You will receive an email notification once the refund has been initiated. Please note that it can take up to 10 business days for the refund to appear on your account

Exchanges
Unfortunately, a direct exchange is not possible. If you would like to exchange an item, please return it for a refund and place a new order for the correct item. The purchase price for the returned item will be refunded using the same payment method as used for the order.

Refund
When you regret your purchase, all payments received from you will be refunded.
The amount will be refunded within 8-10 working days of the date the returned purchase has been received. We will refund the amount by the payment that you used in the original transaction, unless you have explicitly agreed otherwise. In any case, you will not be charged any fees as a result of the refund.

Colors and shapes
Colors and qualities are shown as accurately as possible, but the colors and the screen resolutions of computers may vary. Minor color deviations are therefore not considered a defect within the meaning of the Sale of Goods Act. Each item is handmade and unique, as a consequence the shape will slightly differ from the images. The diameter is always measured at the widest point of the object. 

Notification of defects and complaints
Irrespective of whether any errors or defects are ascertained upon receipt or at a later date, all products are subject to the Danish Sale of Goods Act, which gives you 24 months to complain about a product. However, if the errors or defects are due to your negligence, abuse or other incorrect use, your right to complain will lapse.

In case of a complaint or a missing delivery please contact us at: studio@akuaobjects.com. If the complaint is valid, we will provide a shipping label for your return that covers all return expenses.

You can also submit a complaint about an item that you have purchased from us to the Danish Competition and Consumer Authority's Center for Complaint Resolution, Carl Jacobsens Vej 35, 2500 Valby.

Prices, customs and Sales Tax/VAT
Import duties, taxes, and charges are not included in the item price or shipping charges. These charges are the buyer's responsibility. Please check with your country's customs office to determine what these additional costs will be prior to purchasing. These charges are normally collected by the delivering freight (shipping) company or when you pick the item up - do not confuse them for additional shipping charges.

For international orders outside of Europe, a customs duty will be charged to you depending upon the country in which you reside. The carrier will contact you in case of any extra charges or customs clearance. This might delay the delivery

Akua Objects is not responsible for payment of this duty, all charges or customs clearance adhere to international import/export laws. If you decide to refuse your shipment, you are responsible for the original shipping charges, any duties, taxes and/or customs charges that are incurred (on both the original and return shipments), as well as the cost of returning the package. This amount will be subtracted from your merchandise refund.

If your order is placed within Europe the Danish sales taxes and VAT are included in the price. Additional duties will not be added upon arrival in the country of destination. This is according to customs policies regarding sales within the EU. If, however, your order is placed outside the EU, you will not have to pay the Danish sales Taxes and VAT but you will have to pay additional tax and duties in the country of destination. Akua Objects is not responsible for these or for any fees charged by customs.

Please be aware, if you choose to refuse the shipment due to local import duty & tax, the parcel will automatically be returned to Akua Objects. In this case, we reserve the right to charge a $30 administration fee.
