WITHDRAWAL, EXCHANGES AND RETURNS
The User, as a consumer and user, makes a purchase at https://andam.es If he/she is not satisfied with any of the products in his/her order, he/she has the right to withdraw from said purchase and request a refund.
In accordance with applicable law, you have a maximum period of 15 calendar days from the day on which the User or a third party authorised by the User, other than the carrier, acquired material possession of the goods purchased on the ANDAM website to notify your full or partial withdrawal from the purchase of the Product. In the event that the goods comprising your order are delivered separately, you have a maximum period of 15 calendar days from the day on which the User or a third party authorised by the User, other than the carrier, acquired material possession of the last of the goods comprising the same purchase order. Returns made within the time limit will not entail any penalty. However, the Customer must assume the shipping costs.
To exercise this right of withdrawal, the User must notify their decision to ANDAM through the contact spaces enabled on the website or through clientesonline@andam.es.
The User, regardless of the means chosen to communicate his decision, must clearly and unequivocally express his intention to withdraw from the purchase contract. In any case, the User may use the withdrawal form template that ANDAM makes available to him, however, its use is not obligatory. To comply with the withdrawal period, it is sufficient that the communication of the decision to withdraw is sent before the corresponding period expires.
In the event of withdrawal, ANDAM will reimburse the user for all payments received, including shipping costs, without undue delay and, in any case, no later than 14 calendar days from the date on which ANDAM is informed of the User's decision to withdraw.
ANDAM will refund the user using the same payment method that the user used to make the initial purchase transaction. This refund will not generate any additional costs for the user. ANDAM may retain said refund until it has received the purchased products, or until the user presents proof of the return of the same, depending on which condition is met first.
The user must return or send the products without any undue delay and, in any case, no later than within 14 calendar days from the date on which ANDAM was informed of the decision to withdraw.
We offer you the possibility of returning items purchased online. Once your order has been received, you have 15 calendar days from receipt of the order to return the products you wish to return. In addition, the user will be responsible for any decrease in the value of the products resulting from handling other than that necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods. Products must be returned properly protected in transit and with a copy of the invoice.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal, by way of example, but not exhaustively, would be the case of:
- Products that cannot be returned due to hygiene or health protection reasons, if they have been unsealed after delivery.
- Products that may deteriorate or expire quickly.
- Sealed audio or video recordings or sealed software, if you have unsealed them after delivery.
- Goods made to your specifications or clearly personalized.
- Digital content that would not have been delivered on a physical medium if you had consented to the execution at the time of delivery and without it being possible to withdraw from that moment.
- In any case, no refund will be made if the product has been used beyond its mere opening, for products that are not in the same condition as they were delivered or that have suffered any damage after delivery.
EXCHANGES AND RETURNS OF DEFECTIVE PRODUCTS OR SHIPPING ERRORS.
If you consider that, at the time of delivery, the product does not comply with the provisions of the Contract, you must contact us immediately and let us know the existing nonconformity (defect/error) in the form or at clientesonline@andam.es and provide us with your details, those of the product and the damage it has suffered.
The company will carefully examine the returned product and will inform you by email, within a reasonable period of time, whether or not the return or replacement of the product is appropriate. If this is the case, this will be done as soon as possible and, in any case, within 30 days from the date on which the company sends you an email confirming that the return or replacement of the non-conforming item is appropriate.
The amounts paid for products that are returned due to a defect or fault, when it actually exists, will be fully refunded, including the delivery costs incurred to deliver the item to you and the costs incurred by the user to make the return. The refund will be made using the same payment method that was used to pay for the purchase.

The rights recognized by current legislation are safeguarded.
