6.4. The Buyer is responsible for the accuracy of the delivery information. Reasonable additional costs of resending caused by incorrect or incomplete contact or address information may be charged to the Buyer.
6.5. The risk of accidental loss of or damage to the goods passes to a consumer when the consumer or a third party designated by the consumer, other than the carrier, has physically received the goods.
6.6. Where possible, the Buyer should inspect the condition of the shipment upon receipt. The Buyer should photograph and notify the Seller as soon as possible at info@glowly.ee if a shipment is damaged, leaking, open or has a broken tamper-evident seal.
6.7. Failure to collect a shipment from a parcel machine or collection point by the stated deadline does not automatically constitute withdrawal from the contract. The Seller may require reimbursement of reasonable direct costs related to resending or the return of an uncollected shipment.
7. Consumer’s 14-day right of withdrawal
7.1. A consumer Buyer has the right to withdraw from a distance sales contract without giving a reason within 14 calendar days from the day on which the consumer or a third party designated by the consumer, other than the carrier, physically received the goods.
7.2. If goods from one order are delivered separately, the withdrawal period begins when the last item is received. For goods consisting of several parts, the period begins when the final part is received.
7.3. To exercise the right of withdrawal, the consumer must send an unequivocal statement before the end of the withdrawal period to info@glowly.ee or use the model withdrawal form at the end of these Terms.
7.4. The consumer is requested to include their name, order number, the product being returned, the date on which the goods were received and a clear statement of withdrawal. A formal defect in the notice does not remove the consumer’s right of withdrawal if the intention to withdraw is clearly expressed.
7.5. The consumer must return or hand over the goods to the Seller no later than 14 days after submitting the withdrawal notice.
8. Exceptions to the right of withdrawal: food supplements, vitamins and cosmetics
8.1. The right of withdrawal does not apply to sealed goods that are not suitable for return for health-protection or hygiene reasons after the seal or packaging has been opened.
8.2. The exception in the preceding clause may include, among other products, food supplements, vitamins, creams, serums, gels, lip and eye products, and other cosmetic or body-care products where the tamper-evident seal, foil, protective film, hygienic closure or sealed consumer packaging has been opened or damaged after delivery and the product cannot be safely offered for resale.
8.3. Opening the shipping package or outer delivery box does not exclude the right of withdrawal where the product’s own sealed packaging, tamper-evident seal and hygienic protection remain intact and the product has not been used.
8.4. The applicability of an exception to the right of withdrawal is assessed on the basis of the specific product and circumstances. The Seller does not automatically exclude the return of an entire product category solely because packaging has been opened where the product can still be resold in compliance with health-protection and hygiene requirements.
8.5. An exception to the right of withdrawal does not limit the Buyer’s rights where the product is defective, damaged, expired, leaking, incorrect or arrived with a broken tamper-evident seal.
9. Condition of returned goods and diminished value
9.1. A consumer may handle and inspect a product only to the extent necessary to establish its nature, characteristics and functioning, in the same manner as would normally be permitted in a physical shop.
9.2. Where possible, returned goods must be unused, undamaged and clean, and include the parts, labels and accessories supplied with the product. The absence of the original packaging does not automatically exclude the right of withdrawal, but the Buyer must package the goods securely for transport.
9.3. If the consumer has used the goods beyond what is necessary to establish their nature, characteristics and functioning, the consumer is liable for the resulting diminished value. The Seller must substantiate the existence and amount of any diminished value.
9.4. When an opened or used product is returned, the refund may be reduced by the amount of the product’s diminished value. If the product has become entirely unsuitable for resale for health-protection or hygiene reasons and a statutory exception applies, the right of withdrawal may not apply.
10. Return method and costs
10.1. Before sending the goods, the Buyer is requested to contact info@glowly.ee to receive return instructions. Exercising the statutory right of withdrawal is not subject to the Seller’s prior consent.
10.2. Goods must be returned to GlowlyDaily to a parcel machine or other return address communicated by the Seller in writing.
10.3. In the case of an ordinary withdrawal, the consumer bears the direct cost of returning the goods. The Seller bears reasonable return costs where the reason for return is an incorrect, damaged or non-conforming product.
10.4. The Buyer is responsible for the goods until they reach the Seller and must retain the return shipment receipt or tracking number.
10.5. The Seller is not required to accept cash-on-delivery shipments or shipments involving costs that have not been agreed in advance.
11. Refunds
11.1. In the event of withdrawal, the Seller will refund all payments received from the consumer under the contract, including the cost of standard delivery, without undue delay and no later than 14 days after receiving the withdrawal notice.
11.2. If the consumer selected a delivery method more expensive than the least expensive standard delivery offered by the Seller, the Seller is not required to refund the additional cost resulting from that choice.
11.3. The Seller may withhold the refund until the returned goods have been received or the consumer has supplied evidence of having sent the goods back, whichever occurs first.
11.4. The refund will normally be made using the same payment method used for the original transaction, unless the parties expressly agree otherwise. The consumer will not incur an additional fee for the refund.
11.5. If the value of the returned goods has diminished due to the Buyer’s actions, the Seller may set off the substantiated diminished value against the amount to be refunded.
12. Defective, incorrect or damaged goods
12.1. The Seller is liable for a lack of conformity in goods sold to a consumer that becomes apparent within two years after delivery. Statutory presumptions and rules on the burden of proof apply in accordance with the law in force.
12.2. The Buyer must notify the Seller of a defect within a reasonable time, and a consumer no later than two months after discovering the defect.
12.3. A complaint must be sent to info@glowly.ee and should include the Buyer’s name and contact details, order number, a description of the defect, when the defect was discovered, the requested remedy and, where possible, photographs of the product, tamper-evident seal and packaging.
12.4. The Seller will respond in writing to a consumer’s written complaint within 15 days. If the complaint cannot be resolved within that period, the Seller will explain the delay and provide a new reasonable deadline.
12.5. In the event of defective goods, a consumer is entitled primarily to have the goods brought into conformity free of charge, including by replacement, where this is possible and proportionate. In cases provided by law, the consumer may request a price reduction or withdraw from the contract.
12.6. The Seller is not liable for a defect that arose after delivery due to the Buyer’s actions, failure to follow the instructions for use or storage conditions, normal wear and tear, improper use or an external circumstance unrelated to the product, unless mandatory law provides otherwise.
13. Liability and force majeure
13.1. The parties are liable for damage caused to the other party by a breach of their obligations on the grounds and to the extent provided by law.
13.2. The Seller is not liable for damage resulting from use of the product to the extent that the damage was caused by the Buyer’s failure to observe the product ingredients, allergies, contraindications, directions for use, dosage or storage conditions. This provision does not limit mandatory consumer rights or the statutory liability of the manufacturer or Seller.
13.3. The Seller is not liable for a breach of an obligation where the breach results from force majeure, meaning a circumstance beyond the Seller’s control that the Seller could not reasonably have been expected to prevent or overcome.
14. Processing of personal data
14.1. The Seller processes the Buyer’s personal data to fulfil orders, arrange payments, deliver goods, provide customer service, prevent fraud and comply with statutory obligations.
14.2. To fulfil an order, the Seller may disclose necessary data to a payment service provider, carrier, accounting service provider, IT service provider or another authorised processor, but only to the extent necessary.
14.3. More detailed terms governing the processing of personal data are set out in the online store’s Privacy Policy. Marketing communications are sent only where consent or another valid legal basis exists.
15. Complaints and dispute resolution
15.1. The Buyer may send questions and complaints to info@glowly.ee. The parties will attempt to resolve disagreements through negotiation.
15.2. If a consumer Buyer and the Seller are unable to reach an agreement, the consumer may refer the dispute to the Consumer Disputes Committee operating at the Estonian Consumer Protection and Technical Regulatory Authority. Proceedings before the Committee are free of charge for the consumer, and the consumer must first have submitted a complaint to the Seller.
15.3. The parties may also refer a dispute to a court. The contract is governed by the laws of the Republic of Estonia, without prejudice to any mandatory protection granted to the consumer by the laws of the consumer’s country of residence where applicable.
16. Amendments to the Terms
16.1. The Seller may amend these Terms where necessary due to changes in legislation, services, payment or delivery methods, or the organisation of the online store.
16.2. The version of the Terms in force when the order is submitted applies to the order. The current version is published in the online store together with its effective date.
