The voucher will be usable on the site within one year from the date of issue and can be used on all neeDesign products excluding promotional items.

To complete the return, an invoice or proof of purchase is required.

The law applies to the product in its entirety, it is not possible to exercise the withdrawal only on a part of the product.

Customer shipping information:

The shipment for the return of the material, up to the certificate of receipt at the needesign site, is under the complete responsibility of the Customer.In the event of damage to the goods during the return transport, neeDesign will notify the Customer of the event (within 5 working days from the receipt of the asset at its headquarters) to allow the Customer to promptly file a complaint against the courier chosen by him and obtain a refund of the value of the asset (if insured); in this case, the product will be made available to the customer for its return and at the same time will cancel the request for withdrawal and therefore a refund.

neeDesgin is not liable in any way for damage or theft/loss of goods returned with uninsured shipments by the Customer. Upon arrival at the headquarters, the product will be examined to assess any damage deriving from transport. If the original packaging and/or packaging is excessively ruined, neeDesign will withhold from the refund due the costs incurred for the restoration of the same.

In the event of forfeiture of the right of withdrawal, the goods will remain at the needesign premises available to the customer, for collection at his own expense.

11.Gift vouchers

A gift neeDesign is a special type of product. Its value can be used as a payment for future orders at neeDesign. It can be sold like any other product or it can be issued as a form of prize, incentive or refund. When a voucher is issued gift, the customer receives an email containing a unique code that he can use at check-out to redeem his value.

During the purchase phase, the customer can redeem the value of a gift voucher by entering the unique code at the time of check-out. This code does not take into account the difference between upper and lower case. Gift certificates have a balance that can be spent for more than one order. Gift voucher balances apply to the total value of an order, which includes taxes and shipping.

When a customer redeems a gift certificate, checkout shows one of the following options:

If the balance available on the gift voucher is greater than or equal to the total of the order, the customer can click on Complete order.

If the balance available on the gift voucher is less than the total of the order, before submitting the order, the customer is asked to choose a second payment method for the difference.

Customers cannot check the remaining balance of a gift neeDesign , but they can contact neeDesign to receive this information

Most discount codes cannot be applied to gift vouchers. The only exception is when it is a specific discount code for a product, where the product is a gift voucher.

Gift vouchers can be used in conjunction with a discount code.

Gift voucher codes are considered as currency, therefore only the customer can view the entire code.

The voucher is not nominal, it can therefore be transferred to third parties, vice versa the loss, loss or theft of the aforementioned cannot be refunded in any way.

The voucher cannot be used beyond the expiry of its validity, however the customer has the right to contact neeDesign to negotiate its extension.

neeDesign is in no way obliged to guarantee this extension.

12. Warranty and defects, replacement or refund

If a product is defective or does not conform to what was purchased, the buyer can assert his warranty right for two years.

The customer is entitled to one of the statutory warranty claims (refund, price reduction, replacement delivery)
