RETURN AND REFUND POLICY

Effective Date: February 1, 2026

1. POLICY OVERVIEW

This Return and Refund Policy explains the conditions under which customers may return products purchased from the TobiTribe online store and request refunds, replacements, or exchanges.

This policy is designed to comply with:

Directive 2011/83/EU on Consumer Rights
Directive 1999/44/EC and related EU consumer protection rules on defective goods
EU e-commerce transparency obligations

Customers purchasing goods through the TobiTribe website are entitled to specific consumer rights regarding returns and refunds, as described below.

2. RIGHT OF WITHDRAWAL (14-DAY EU CONSUMER RIGHT)

Consumers located within the European Union have the legal right to withdraw from a purchase contract within 14 days without providing a reason.

The withdrawal period begins:

on the day the customer receives the goods, or
when a third party designated by the customer receives the goods.

To exercise the right of withdrawal, the customer must inform TobiTribe of the decision to withdraw from the purchase contract.

Notification must be sent via email to:

info@tobitribe.com

The notification must clearly state the intention to withdraw from the purchase.

Customers may use a written statement including:

order number
customer name
product being returned
date of receipt

3. EXTENDED RETURN WINDOW

In addition to the legally required 14-day withdrawal period, TobiTribe provides an extended return window of up to 30 days from the date of delivery for eligible products.

This extended return option allows customers additional time to return products under the conditions described in this policy.

4. RETURN CONDITIONS

To qualify for a return, the following conditions must be met:

the product must be returned within the applicable return period
the item must be unused or only tested to the extent necessary to determine its functionality
the product must be returned in its original packaging where reasonably possible
all accessories, manuals, and components must be included
the item must not show signs of misuse or damage caused by the customer

TobiTribe reserves the right to reduce the refund amount if the returned product shows signs of excessive handling beyond what is necessary to verify its nature and functioning.

5. PRODUCTS NOT ELIGIBLE FOR RETURN

Certain products may be excluded from the right of withdrawal where permitted by law.

These may include:

products that have been used extensively
items damaged due to improper handling by the customer
products with missing parts or accessories
items returned after the return window has expired

Additionally, specific categories may be excluded where required for hygiene, safety, or technical reasons if clearly stated at the time of purchase.
