1.2. Returns in storestore

Alternately, the customer may return the products directly to any Stone Island store, among those available in the country where delivery was made, and listed on the website, presenting the products to a sales assistant in their original packaging if possible and if still intact, together with the delivery receipt contained in the original packaging and the garment bag, if included inside the package at the time of delivery of the Order, within twenty (20) days of the date in which the products were received. In this case, the customer shall not incur any cost. It will be sufficient to present the products to the sales assistant of the Stone Island store selected, in the original packaging and together with the delivery receipt contained in the original parcel within twenty (20) days of receipt of the products. The sales assistant will complete the return form and check that the products comply with the conditions indicated in this Return Policy as well as the Terms and Conditions of Sale. Delivery of the products to the sales assistant is thus equivalent to acceptance of the return by Stone Island.

The right to return products shall be deemed to have been correctly exercised once each of the following conditions have been fully met:

• as specified under article 1., the customer (a) has correctly filled in and submitted the online form available at the following link or (b) has contacted the Client Servicess within twenty (20) calendar days from the date he/she receives the purchased product (or for purchases of multiple products, the date on which each single product was received) or, if at the time of the purchase the “Pick Up In Store” option was selected, within twenty (20) days of the date on which the order was collected at the Stone Island store;
• the products shall be returned new, undamaged, unworn - save for the consumer’s right to try on the product to ascertain its characteristics - and not washed; Stone Island reserves the right to refuse the return of products that are damaged, dirty or in a condition that unequivocally suggests that they have been used for purposes other than the customer’s verifications that are strictly necessary to ascertain their characteristics. In any case, the Customer shall be held liable for the reduction in value of the Products; the Vendor reserves the right, at its own discretion, to take legal action against the Customer to ascertain such reduction and, in subordination to the hypothesis of refusal of the return, to withhold from the refund due to the Customer the sum corresponding to the damage caused to the returned Product.
• the identification tag, the Certilogo tagand any label are still attached to the products, as well as the disposable seal;
• the products shall be returned in their original packaging, if possible and if still intact, together with the delivery receipt contained in the original packaging and the garment bag, if included inside the package at the time of delivery of the Order;
• the returned items must be shipped back to Us within fourteen (14) calendar days from the date the customer informed Us of the decision to withdraw from the purchase contract, to the address indicated on the pre-paid and pre-stamped return label included in the packaging (please follow the instruction on the Return Form to use our free-collection service) or should the customer choose to return the products by going directly to any Stone Island store listed on the Website among those available in the country where the products were delivered, the same shall have to be delivered to a sales assistant within twenty (20) days from the date on which they were received.

Once all requirements set forth above have been fulfilled, We shall refund the entire price for the purchased products.

2.1. Identification tag and Certilogo tag

All products sold by Stone Island include an identification tag and the Certilogo tag. Products shall be tried on without removing the tag. Returned products without the tag will not be accepted. To return damaged, defective or incorrect products the identification tag and the Certilogo tag should still be attached to the products, as long as possible and where still available.

2.2. Non-Acceptance of Returns by Stone Island

Should the product not be accepted, the customer will be notified by e-mail as soon as practicable, within a reasonable period of time. In this case, the customer may choose to have the products delivered at his/her expense. Please note that returns refused and re-delivered may not include the original packaging (garment bag, [-]). Should the customer refuse the above delivery, Stone Island reserves the right to retain in a definite manner the products as they shall be deemed to have been refused and abandoned by the customer, as well as the amount paid for the purchase of the products.

2.3. Exceptions to the exercise of the right of withdrawal

Without limiting the provisions of the above paragraph, the right of withdrawal does not apply to the following:

• sealed products unsealed by the customer following delivery, where return of such products is unsuitable due to health protection or hygiene reasons;
• products comprising sealed audio or video recordings or computer software or other digital elements, if the product becomes unsealed after delivery;
• products which are made to the customer’s specifications or clearly personalised;
• products which have become inseparably mixed with other items after delivery; or
• digital service or content that the customer has started downloading, so expressly waiving the right of withdrawal. 

After Stone Island has received the returned products and checked that the products meet all requirements, the customer shall receive an e-mail that the returned products have been accepted. Whatever is the form of payment used (Alipay, Amex, Apple Pay, Diners, Discover, Google Pay, JCB, Klarna Pay Over Time, Mastercard, Maestro, Paypal, China Union Pay, Visa, WeChat), Stone Island will refund the customer all payments received for such cancelled purchase, excluding shipping costs, gift wrapping and other additional expenses deriving from options selected by the customer. We will process the refund due as soon as possible and, in any event, except otherwise provided for under mandatory local legislation of the Customer’s place of residence, within: 

• if the customer uses our free collection service: fourteen (14) calendar days from the day on which our warehouse receives and verifies the returned products; or
• if the customer returns the products autonomously: fourteen (14) calendar days (i) from the date in which Stone Island has received the products returned by the customer or (ii) from the moment in which the Customer provides evidence of having sent the products back, whichever is the earliest;
• if the customer returns the products to one of our stores, immediately after the sale assistant completes the procedures to verify that the returned products comply with the return conditions set forth under section above.

The customer shall be liable for any diminution to the value of the returned products arising from the use for purposes other than the Customer’s verifications strictly necessary to ascertain the characteristics, functions or nature. Stone Island reserves the right to retain from the refund the sum corresponding to the damage caused to the returned Product, and in any case to take legal action against the Customer in order to protect its rights. 

Without prejudice to the above, once Stone Island has checked that the return was carried out in compliance with the above conditions, the time period for refunding the amount paid by the customer for purchasing the returned products depends on the payment type used. As a way of example:

• purchase by Credit/Debit Card: refund time will depend on the Credit Card company’s policies;
• payment made by bank transfer, where available: the customer will be refunded the amount paid for the products returned to the Bank account used for the purchase; the time needed for refunding depends on the information provided in the order. Please remember it is necessary to have a Bank account in order to receive a refund for bank transfer orders.

Alternatively, where the customer wishes so, he/she may to exchange the purchased products (other than personalised products) with other products, in place of receiving a refund of the relative sum, subject to the following conditions:

• the customer must select on the Website, in the Order Management page, the exchange online option (“Make an Exchange”) and specify the reason for the exchange;
• the customer may request the replacement of one or more purchased products with products of a different model, or of the same product in a different size and/or colour. The available replacement options will be indicated in theOrder Management page/“Make an exchange”.;
• the customer may request to exchange one or more purchased products within and no later than twenty (20) days of the day he/she received the products, by filling in the Exchange form and sending it electronically to Stone Island within the aforementioned deadline;
• the customer may only submit a single replacement request for each product purchased; only one single exchange for the same product is allowed;
• the products for which the customer requests the replacement must be returned to Stone Island in their original packaging together with the delivery receipt, they must be new, undamaged, unworn (save for the right to try on the same to ascertain their characteristics) and not washed, and they must still have their identification tag and any label attached with the disposable seal.

If all the above conditions are correctly fulfilled, once the customer has filled in and sent the Exchange form containing the request for goods replacement, Stone Island shall process said request by sending the customer a relevant confirmation e-mail. If such conditions are not met, Stone Island will inform the customer by e-mail and, if already dispatched, will return the product at his/her expenses. 

Once received the products to be exchanged, Stone Island will inspect the products to check that all the above requirements have been fulfilled; Stone Island will then verify the actual availability of the products to be replaced in its warehouses to ensure that the size and/or colour selected are available. If the selected products are not available, Stone Island will not be able to accept the request for exchange and will refund the customer the price of the products originally purchased in accordance with the procedures specified in this Return Policy, by informing the customer accordingly via e-mail. If the selected products are available in the warehouse, Stone Island will accept the request for exchange and will send the customer an e-mail confirming the shipment of the replaced products. Shipment will occur as soon as the item exchanged will be accepted in the warehouse. The costs for shipping the replacement products shall be borne by Stone Island who will choose the courier to which shipping shall be entrusted.

In case the value of the exchanged product is the same as the original, no payment shall be made by the customer. In case the exchanged product’s value is higher than the original, a new payment should be made for the difference only. In case the exchanged product’s value is lower than the original, no payment should be made and the customer will receive a refund of the residual amount.
