11.1 Withdrawal

You have a 14-days legal right of withdrawal according to the Distance and Off-Premises Contracts Act (SFS 2005:59). This means that you are entitled to cancel your purchase your product by submitting or sending notice thereof to Past Tense within 14 days of the date on which you have received the product. The notice may be sent in different ways. Preferably, you can use Past Tense’s return form.

Please note that you of course do not need to use the special forms but may send us an e-mail to the above-referenced e-mail addresses including information that you will withdraw or exchange your purchase. If you send us an e-mail, we will send you a confirmation upon receiving your notice. Please always refer to your order number in your communication with us.

If you choose not to use Past Tense’s return form, please send the notification to our address at:

FAO - PAST TENSE STUDIO RETURNS

Ålandsgatan 10

504 41 Borås

Sweden,

or e-mail it to info@past-tense-studio.com.

You may wish to keep a copy of your withdrawal notification for your own records.

11.2 Refund relating to the right of withdrawal

If you choose to withdraw your purchase in accordance with the terms set forth in this section 11, Past Tense will issue a refund of the amount paid to Past Tense including any shipping charges you have paid for the delivery from Past Tense to you. Past Tense will pay the refund as soon as possible and within 14 days at the latest of the date on which we have received your notice of withdrawal, under the condition that Past Tense has received the product/s from you or if Past Tense has obtained proof that the products have been sent back to Past Tense. The refund is made using the same payment method you used at the purchase if you do not explicitly accept another method. You will not be charged extra if another payment method is used.

If you have chosen invoice via Klarna as your payment method and wish to withdraw only a part of an order, please contact Klarna and they will put your invoice on hold. Once your partial withdrawal is accepted by Past Tense, a new invoice will be sent to you with the products you wish to keep. If you paid the invoice prior to your withdrawal, the amount relating to your withdrawal will be refunded.

Please note that Past Tense will not refund additional duties, taxes or additional charges that may apply to your order.

Please note that Past Tense only issues a full refund if the product/s is in the same condition as at the time of delivery. If the products’ value has diminished due to your handling of the products to a greater extent than is necessary in order to ascertain their characteristics or function, you have an obligation to reimburse us. Thus, Past Tense then has the right to withhold such an amount of the refund.

To avoid a deduction, please make sure the product you wish to refund is in the exact same condition as when you received them, with the tag and seal still attached. For example, shoes must not be used at all or on a carpeted surface until you have decided to keep them and clothes may not be used or washed. Any original box must be fully intact and shoes must be returned in their undamaged original shoe box which is considered to be a part of the product.

11.3 Exchanges

Please note all products are non-exchangeable but can be returned with a full refund.

11.4 Shipping charges for returning the products

Please note that you have to pay for the shipping charges when you return the products in accordance with your withdrawal and exchange right. Past Tense will not refund additional duties, taxes or any additional charges that may incur in relation to a return.
