Legal area

This return policy (hereinafter, the “Return Policy”) shall govern the manner in which the customer may return products purchased on the www.stoneisland.com website (hereinafter, also the “Website”).

The products purchased on the Website are sold directly by Sportswear Company S.p.A. (hereinafter, “Stone Island” or the “Vendor” or “We” or “Us”), a company subject to the direction and coordination of Moncler S.p.A., with registered office in Bologna, Galleria Cavour, n. 4, VAT and Fiscal Code n. 0104647037.

Stone Island’s purpose is to guarantee the customer’s full satisfaction. If, for any reason whatsoever, the customer is not satisfied with the order, he/she may exercise the right to cancel the purchase and return the purchased products.  

The customer must inform us of his/her decision to return the order within twenty (20) calendar days from the date on which he/she received the product purchased on the website (or from the date on which he/she received the last shipment in the case of multiple purchases), or, if the “Pick up in store" option (where available) was selected at the time of purchase, from the date on which the product was collected at the Stone Island store (such notice shall be deemed to have been sent, in the event of failure to collect the Products within the term of 15 days from their availability at the store), according to one of the following methods: 

a) filling out the online Return Form available on the website in the Client Services area/Order Management/Returns

or  

b) Contacting us free of charge at our free toll number (a)*.

1.1 Online Returns 

Returned Products under the right of withdrawal shall be shipped back to Stone Island from the same Country they were delivered to within fourteen (14) calendar days from the date the Vendor is notified of the decision to exercise the right of withdrawal, 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). The products may be returned by dispatching the package through the shipping agent indicated by Us, or through another shipping agent or postage method. 

If the customer decides to use the courier indicated in the Return Form, he/she shall not have to bear the return shipping costs, which will be entirely borne by Stone Island, and it will be possible to track the parcel at any time. In this case, the customer is requested to follow the instructions in the Return Form included in the package and contact UPS to organise the pick-up. 

If the customer decides to use a different courier or other postal delivery method to return the products, he/she shall bear the cost of shipping the items in advance, in accordance with our return instructions, and shall be responsible for any loss or damage to the products during transport. To protect the customer, We recommend that returned items always be sent back by courier, even if the customer decides not to use the pre-paid method with the courier recommended by Us. 

1.2. Returns in store  

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. 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. 



1.3. Right of withdrawal and “Tax Free” option (if available) 

If, at the time of submission of the order, the customer selected the “Tax Free” option, if available: 

a) withdrawal shall be subject to the same conditions set forth under this Return Policy as long as the customer has not obtained any tax refund (and therefore before he/she leaves the country where he/she purchased the item). In this case, the customer shall be entitled to the full refund of the products price (including sale taxes) and shipping/delivery costs (if any); 

b) if the customer already left the country of purchase and already obtained a sale taxes refund before the expiration of the 20 days to exercise his/her right of withdrawal, the customer shall still be entitled to do so and return the item to obtain the refund of the price net of sale taxes (VAT and similar), which have been already refunded to him/her. In any event, the customer accepts and acknowledges that he/she shall be solely responsible for compliance with any customs requirements and payment of any customs charges required to return the products to the country where they shall be returned. Stone Island reserves the right not to accept products for which these formalities and charges have not been previously fulfilled.

Once all requirements set forth above have been fulfilled, We shall refund the entire price for the purchased products (save for sale taxes in cases where the customer has selected the “Tax Free” option, if available, and already benefited from the refund of sale taxes, in which case the refund of the price shall be net of said taxes).  

Please note that products returned under the right of withdrawal shall be shipped from the same country in which they have been dispatched, except for returns made by customers that were granted the “Tax Free” option, if available.

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 tags. Returned products without the tags 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;
• 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, Carte Bleue, Diners, Discover, EPS, Google Pay, Ideal, JCB, Klarna Pay Later, Klarna Pay Now, Klarna Pay Over Time, Mastercard, Maestro, Paypal, Postepay, China Union Pay, Visa, WeChat Pay), 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 under mandatory local legislation of the Customer’s place of residence (b)*, 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. 

(b)*For Customers based in the following countries, the different refund periods indicated below shall apply:

Belgium within fourteen (14) days after notification by the Customer of the intention to exercise the right of withdrawal;

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.
