We offer a 14-days free return policy in Finland for unused, salable normal priced products that are in their original packaging. The product (s) must be in the condition in which they were delivered. The product may be inspected in the same way as it would be possible in a normal stationary shop. Returns must be notified within 14 days from receipt of the ordered products (excluding the date of receipt) and the goods must be returned not later than 14 days after the cancellation notice. To prove the return time and return shipment, you should request from your shipper a receipt. If there is no receipt available and the shipment is lost en route, we cannot refund the return at all.

The right of free return does not apply to outlet / discounted products or partially refundable orders. See Outlet / Refund Returns and Refunds. Return costs must be paid by the returner / we will deduct them from the refundable amount. Please note: Business customers have no right of return.

You have the right to return purchases made in our Webshop within 14 days for a full refund. You can do so for any reason – even if you simply changed your mind.

If only possible, please return the product in the same package that you received it. Do not ship the product only in its own sales package without the outer package. Soften the contents of outer package so that the products and products’ original sales packages are not damaged on the way. Use even a newspaper or other suitable material if the original protection pads are not available. Add a receipt / an order confirmation to the shipment, if possible. If the receipt or the order confirmation is not available, write down your personal contact information (name, address, telephone number, e-mail), the name of the product(s) to be returned, and your order number, which can be found on your order confirmation.

Returned product unsalable

If the returned product proves to be unsalable, it is used, soiled, broken, or the sales packaging is missing its essential parts, the product will not be refunded in full amount. Each case is individually considered and the compensation is agreed on a case-by-case basis. Products containing animal hair are not accepted as the return products as their resale is impossible due to risk of allergies.

Refund of payment

Mavaja is obliged to refund your payment promptly or at the latest within 14 days from the receipt of your notification of cancellation. We do have the right to delay refunding until return shipment is received by us and the condition of returned products is checked. If the returned product proves to be unsalable, the refund of payment will be agreed separately on case-by-case basis.

When orders delivered in Finland are returned in full, we refund the return shipping costs according to the cheapest delivery method. As a rule, it is Matkahuolto’s local package € 7,90, unless a cheaper XXS package or Pikkupaketti has been chosen as the delivery method. For example, if you have chosen Matkahuolto’s home delivery Kotipaketti package as an additional service, which is worth € 14.90, we will not refund it.

Non-refundable are also costs of “Cash on delivery” return shipments as well as return shipment costs if only the part of order products is returned.

Sometimes, despite of careful packing, packages can be damaged during transport. If the package has been damaged during transport and if the ordered product (s) has also been damaged, a damage report must be made to the transport company and to Mavaja. Then you are asked to contact our customer service to agree on the delivery of the new product. Please also provide us with images of the damaged parcel and the damaged products.

Complaints

If a product has a manufacturing defect or does not work as it should, you have the right to complain about the product.

Please note that the warranty does not cover normal wear and tear and misuse of the product. Products that are overheated or brittle from the sun are also not covered by the warranty.

For example, if you push the net spreading sticks or tent pegs into the bag and the fabrics of the hammock or tent tear, this is not a defect that qualifies for a complaint. Or if you cut the product when you open the package, there is no warranty.

Preferably contact us by e-mail, of course you can call, but we will very likely ask you for pictures / written explanation of the defect. Let us first clarify things in writing before we ask you to return the product for our inspection.

In warranty matters we follow the Consumer Protection Act and of course we also use our own common sense. In general, our primary responsibility is to repair the product, if it is possible. If repairing is not possible, the customer has the option of having a replacement with the new product or the refunding of the product’s price.

Please note that when you send us the product you are complaining about, it must be clean and dry.

Resolution of disputes

The Finnish law shall apply to disputes and disagreements arising from this distance sales agreement.
