Returns and Exchanges

If the customer wishes to return one or more items, they may do so within 14 days of receiving the order, provided the products are intact, sealed, complete, and in their original packaging, which must not be damaged, altered, or scratched. The customer must ensure that the returned item(s) arrive at our facilities within 28 days from delivery.

To exercise the right of return, contact Customer Support specifying the order number, product description/reference, and preferred refund method.

2450-195 NAZARÉ, Portugal

Incomplete, damaged, or scratched products, products without original packaging/labels, or products showing signs of use will not be accepted. If returned under these conditions or with courier labels applied directly onto the product box, the customer forfeits the right to a refund and has 10 days to collect the items at their own expense.

EXCHANGES

To exchange an item, the customer must process a return for a refund and place a new order.

REFUND METHODS

Global 7 Lda. will process refunds within a maximum period of 15 days from receiving the returned items at our warehouse.

Credit Card: Refunded via bank transfer.

Cash on Delivery / Multibanco: The customer must provide bank account details (IBAN) for the transfer.

REFUND OF SHIPPING COSTS

If the return is due to an error by Global 7 Lda. (e.g., defective or incorrect items), shipping costs will be fully refunded. However, if only one product from a multi-item order is affected, shipping costs will not be refunded.

UNDELIVERED ORDERS

If a prepaid order is returned for reasons not attributable to Global 7 Lda. or the carrier, the refund will be processed minus shipping and return handling costs.

If non-delivery is due to a carrier error, the customer must submit a written claim with proof of address attached if caused by address disputes. Resolution depends on the carrier's investigation:

If the carrier accepts full responsibility, a free replacement will be shipped (or a full refund offered for prepaid orders).

If the carrier rejects responsibility, standard return rules apply.
