6.2. If no delivery date is specified, delivery must take place within a maximum of 30 (thirty) days of confirmation of order.
6.3. The rules set out in the previous paragraphs do not cover possible delays in the dispatch or delivery of the product(s), which may occur if you request customisation of the item(s) or wish to purchase an exclusive product(s).
6.4. Apart from the exceptional circumstances set out in the previous paragraph, any delays that are not caused by ‘Silvina Campos’ shall not give rise to any claim from the customer (in particular, cases of force majeure or impediments found in the delivery area itself).
6.5. In any event, if it is not possible to meet the delivery date - for reasons for which we are not responsible - we will inform you of this circumstance, giving you the option of continuing with your purchase, setting a new delivery date, or cancelling the order with a full refund of the amount paid, without prejudice to any other rights you may have under the terms of the applicable legislation.
6.6. The delivery of the product shall take place when the Customer - or a third party appointed by the Customer (other than the carrier) - acquires physical possession of the product. Delivery shall be evidenced, in particular, by the signature of the delivery receipt at the delivery address indicated by the Customer.


7. TRANSFER OF RISKS AND OWNERSHIP OF PRODUCTS

7.1. The risk of the product(s) shall be assumed by the customer upon delivery.
7.2. Ownership of the product(s) transfers once the product(s) have been paid for [see paragraph 6.6].


8. PRICE AND PAYMENT

8.1. The price of each product will be the one stipulated at any given time on our website, always quoted in EURO currency.
8.2. The prices indicated on the page already cover VAT at the applicable legal rate, but not the amount of postage to be charged for the dispatch of the order, which will only be displayed in the final amount of the purchase, before the ‘PAYMENT AUTHORISATION’.
8.3. If, due to a manifest error on the part of the website operator, the price indicated for the product selected is not the correct one, the customer must be informed. If the customer has already placed the order, the company must refund the difference between the amount actually paid and the amount corresponding to the product purchased, if applicable.
8.4. On the other hand, we shall not be obliged to supply you with any product at the incorrect lower price (even if we have sent you the Dispatch Confirmation) if the error is unequivocal and could reasonably have been recognised by the customer.
8.5. The prices displayed may be modified at any time, but the modifications will not be applied to orders already placed by the customer.
8.6. Payment can be made using ‘Visa’ and ‘Mastercard’ debit/credit cards, via a ‘PayPal’ account, ‘Mbway’, ATM reference and via the Klarna platform, with the exception of that provided for in paragraph 5.10.
8.7. 8.7 In order to prevent any risk of unauthorised access, we will request pre-authorisation of the card used for payment, guaranteeing that it will be possible to complete the transaction. In turn, if the payment method selected is Paypal, the debit will be made when we confirm the order.
8.8. By clicking on ‘’Complete Order‘’, the customer confirms that the card indicated for payment belongs to them.
8.9. Credit cards are subject to verification by the issuing entities, so if they do not authorise payment, we will not be held accountable for any delay or lack of delivery and we will not be able to conclude the Contract.
8.10. The invoice will be issued immediately after confirmation of stock.


9. EXCHANGE AND RETURNS POLICY

9.1. Returns

9.1.1. The Silvina Campos Brand, before dispatching the products ordered by its Customers, guarantees that they have undergone rigorous quality control and inspection of faulty garments.
9.1.2. We also ask the customer, after purchase, to handle the product in the same conditions as they would like to receive it.
9.1.3. Under the applicable legislation, the customer has the right to freely withdraw from the contract, which he may exercise within 14 (fourteen) days of its completion, without having to provide any reason for doing so.
9.1.4. To exercise this right, you must contact us at online@silvinacampos.pt expressing your free, informed and express wish to do so.
9.1.5. Revocation of the contract will result in the refund of the amount paid for the product(s) purchased as soon as we receive cancellation notice, as long as the deadline set out above (9.1.2) is respected. However, ‘Silvina Campos’ has the right to withhold the refund until the product(s) purchased and returned have been received or until the customer has provided a proof of dispatch.
9.1.6. The customer is also responsible for the contents and condition of the return packaging, and the brand may, in the event of an error or obvious damage to the product, charge the costs associated with the corresponding return to the customer.
9.1.7. It is the customer's responsibility to ensure that the ‘Silvina Campos’ brand receives the returned product(s) in due time.
9.1.8. The Customer must keep the product(s) in such a way as to be able to return them in the proper conditions of use, and is responsible for the depreciation of the product if it is not returned in the proper conditions of use. Therefore, it is not permitted to return any item that has been used, that shows any wear, that has been washed, that has been altered in its essential features or whose label has been removed. This aspect is validated by the brand upon arrival of the product, which then communicates its (non-)acceptance of the return.
9.1.9. As these items are made of delicate fabrics [and identified as such in their online description], the customer is advised to use them carefully and responsibly, avoiding objects or accessories that could pull on threads, knits or damage the fabrics, circumstances for which the Silvina Campos brand expressly declines any responsibility in advance.
9.1.10. With regard to the purchase of any products as a ‘guest’, the intention of return can be communicated through our available contact channels.
9.1.11. In circumstances where it is found, at the time of delivery, that the product(s) purchased do not fulfil the conditions set out in the contract, the customer must inform the brand of this fact within a maximum legal period of 2 (two) months, indicating the specific details of the product, as well as the defects detected. If the product purchased is found to be non-compliant, the customer has the right to return it in accordance with the procedure described above.
9.1.12. In accordance with the law, instead of terminating the contract and consequently returning the goods and the amount paid, the customer may opt for replacement of the product or an appropriate price reduction, either of which must take place within a maximum period of 30 (thirty) days.
9.1.13. The amount paid for products returned under these circumstances will be refunded in full (including the delivery costs incurred in sending the item and the costs of returning it).
Returns will be made using the same payment method as that used for the purchase.


9.2. Exchanges

9.2.1. Exchanges of product(s) for a different size of the same reference will only be accepted if the price has not changed, the item is in perfect condition and we have stock. The first exchange is free of charge; subsequent exchanges are at customer’s expense. Exchanges or returns will always be free of charge if the product(s) sent to you are faulty or not in conformity.
9.2.2. In the sense of the previous paragraph, the product is considered not to be in conformity if: (i) it does not comply with the description given in the Online Shop; (ii) it is not suitable for the uses normally given to goods of the same type; (iii) it does not offer the qualities and performance which are common to goods of the same type and which the Customer could reasonably expect, given the nature of the goods and the statements about their features made by Silvina Campos.
9.2.3. As stated in paragraph 9.1.8, the customer is responsible for the proper preservation of the product purchased and no exchange or return will be accepted for any item that has been visibly worn, that has been washed, that has been altered in its essential characteristics or whose label has been removed. Similarly, any damage caused by inappropriate use (e.g. tears, pulled threads) will not be exchanged. Customers are therefore requested after purchase to treat the product as they would like to receive it. The Silvina Campos brand will carefully prepare your parcel, hoping that you will enjoy it!
9.2.4. In the circumstances set out in the previous paragraph, the Silvina Campos brand expressly declines any responsibility, and this is not considered to be a situation of defect or non-conformity.
9.2.5. Once the defect has been reported and the product has been collected immediately, it will be analysed in the factory and the return will be formally (non-)accepted.
9.2.6. If you are registered on our website, you must access the private area by clicking on the ‘returns’ option and selecting the item purchased. If you made the purchase as a ‘guest’, you should contact us to facilitate the exchange.
9.2.7. Once you have requested the exchange and the method of return, you can deliver the original item via the distribution company used by the brand.
The item originally purchased must be returned without any delay, and not later than 14 days after the exchange request.
