Right of complaint and returns
A two-year right of complaint is granted in accordance with the Danish Sale of Goods Act (købeloven). This right applies to defects in material and/or manufacture. Depending on the specific situation, you can have the product exchanged, your money returned or a reduction in the price. The right of complaint does not cover any errors or damage caused by incorrect handling of the product. You must complain in 'reasonable time' after you have discovered the defect/error. Aarhus University will cover return costs to a reasonable extent.
In the event of a complaint, return or if you invoke your right of cancellation, any products returned should be sent to the department/school from where they were purchased. Agreements on returns should follow the procedure on this page: https://auwebshop.au.dk/en/retur.
We do not accept packages sent as cash on delivery.
