Read more about the return process and fees
here

In order to receive a full refund, items must be returned in the same condition as they were received by you. Items must be in new, unused condition for returns to be approved. This means that the returned items must be free of damage and may not be soiled, washed, altered or worn (other than to try on the product) and that any labels, tags and original packaging are intact and that shoe boxes are returned in the condition in which they were received.

We will not grant a full refund for returns that do not meet the requirement for items to be in an unaltered condition. If we do not grant a full refund, we will inform you of the reason by email. As a customer, you can decide whether you would like us to send such product back to you or discard it. If you would like the product returned to you, you will have to pay for the additional shipping costs. If we do not receive a response from a customer within 30 days, the returned product will be discarded.

You may try on the product very carefully, however, the product must not be altered in any way. Products excluded from the above policy which may not be tried on are underwear and swimwear bottoms, for hygiene reasons.

NOTE: We do not accept packages that are sent cash on delivery, registered packages/letters or similar.

Please contact us immediately if you discover a defect on any item you have purchased. Read more about how to submit a product complaint and the complaints process here

We process complaints on a case-by-case basis, therefore, the process can take up to 4 weeks from the date you first notified us of the defect. We will get back to you by email as soon as we have made an initial assessment; we will then inform you how we will proceed in the process. Save your packing slip/receipt until the complaint process is complete. If your complaint is approved, we are responsible for shipping, return shipping and additional costs relating to the product for which you have submitted a complaint.

Zoovillage AB complies with the Swedish Consumer Sales Act; this law gives you the right to submit a complaint about a product within 3 years, provided the product was defective at the time of delivery.

§
 10 Payment

Klarna Checkout

Zoovillage offers Klarna Checkout as a secure payment option for private customers.


Klarna Checkout presents specific information about you as soon as your identity is verified. The information that must be entered to verify your identity can vary depending on the purchase, market and customer.
Once your identity is verified, Klarna Checkout shows all the payment options that are available to you. Available payment options may vary from time to time.

We are not responsible for any additional fees that may apply to your order when you complete your purchase through Klarna.
No immediate credit check is made when you use Klarna Checkout, but credit checks may be made, if necessary, depending on the payment option you have chosen. Credit checks performed by Klarna do not affect your credit rating and cannot be seen by other parties who request access to your credit information, for example, banks.

You can choose to protect your purchase when using Klarna Checkout by using a PIN code.

Read the Terms and Conditions for Klarna Checkout
here

If you have any questions regarding payment, you should contact Klarna directly.

Zoovillage is unable to answer questions about your payment since after your purchase is confirmed, all payment questions are handled by Klarna.
You can reach Klarna customer service here

COD (Cash on delivery)

Cash on delivery is the ideal payment method for customers who wish to pay for their order at the time of delivery. Payment is made to UPS at the time you receive your order. UPS accepts cash and credit card payments.


§ 11 Deliveries

Zoovillage strives to always provide the best shopping experience possible with quick and easy delivery options.

Zoovillage currently delivers to Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Finland and selected countries within EU as well as outside of Europe. Read which countries we deliver to and each country's terms and conditions of delivery
here

Our third-party payment provider determines which countries we are able to deliver to.

Zoovillage is not responsible for delivery delays caused by the carrier.


§ 12 Damaged packages

All packages leaving our facilities are insured. If your package and/or contents are damaged when you receive your delivery, you should report it to the carrier/agent at the time of delivery, then contact Zoovillage immediately. If you have already retrieved and opened the package and discover damage to your items, contact Zoovillage. Complaints for transport damage must be submitted to us within a reasonable period of time after the damage was discovered or should have been discovered. A “reasonable time” for notification to UPS is 15 days from the scheduled/estimated delivery date or within 7 days from the date of delivery.

All product packaging and external packaging must be retained for inspection and evidence as needed. If transport damage is discovered upon delivery, the package must be kept in the condition it was received and photographed. You must then contact Zoovillage for further instructions on how to proceed with your complaint.

We will advise you on whether to send back the package or discard the packaging. This ensures compensation can be collected from the carrier for the complaint.

§ 13 Colors

To the furthest extent possible, we always strive to realistically represent the properties and colors of our products in our product images. However, the color you see at Zoovillage.com depends on your computer screen, and we cannot guarantee that your computer can reproduce the colors in our images accurately or in the same way as these appear in our system.

§ 14 “Abnormal shopping behavior” clause

We always guarantee a 14-day exchange and return period when you shop at Zoovillage.

Unfortunately, we have discovered that some of our customers exhibit abnormal shopping habits and a buying culture where Zoovillage's right to return is utilized to the fullest extent possible. We have therefore introduced an “abnormal shopping behavior” clause. Under this clause, we reserve the right to stop selling to a customer due to abnormal shopping behavior. If Zoovillage has reasonable grounds to suspect abuse, fraud, harassment, compulsive/pathological shopping behavior on the part of the customer or that the customer is acting as a reseller of the items being purchased, we will reject the order with reference to the clause on abnormal shopping behavior.

In this context, suspicion is based on a number of objective, non-discriminatory criteria including: consideration of the frequency of purchases, composition of the orders and/or returns, delayed returns/unclaimed orders, reports of missing items at the time of delivery or return, multiple returns of identical items or attempts to circumvent a previous refusal with false identity or alternate identity. At the same time, we emphasize that the clause refers to behavior that is systematic and does not refer to random/single cases.

The identification of a shopping pattern that we deem to be abnormal and beyond what we consider to be “acceptable purchasing behavior and acceptable shopping culture” is done using an algorithm based on a number of different parameters. If a customer is identified by the algorithm, we will evaluate whether it is appropriate to reject a customer’s order from Zoovillage - either temporarily or permanently - on a case-by-case basis. If you have an order rejected, you are considered a suspended/blocked customer. We will always notify you by email or verbally if we invoke this clause.

If we detect unacceptable shopping behavior as described above, we reserve the right to refrain from entering into transactions with the customer(s) concerned and/or to put the customer(s) in question on hold.

As is always the case, a purchase/agreement with Zoovillage is not finalized until we have sent an order confirmation and receipt.

The “Abnormal shopping behavior” clause does not prevent customers from returning orders that have already been approved but may prevent customers from making a purchase in some cases.

§ 15 Minors

Persons under the age of 18 must have the permission of a guardian to place an order.

§  16 Personal information

Zoovillage and Klarna process your personal information in order to be able to offer you a simplified payment process through Klarna Checkout and to further simplify the payment process the next time you use Klarna's services. Zoovillage and Klarna process personal data in order to verify your identity, manage the customer relationship, prevent the improper use or abuse of the payment service, perform customer analyses, credit assessments, risk analysis, risk management, business development, for commercial and marketing purposes for our own benefit and the benefit of selected partners, and for general compliance with applicable legal requirements.
