Please ensure that you have read and understood these Terms and Conditions before placing an order. We reserve the right to change these Terms and Conditions from time to time without notifying you. The current version of the Terms and Conditions is always the version which is available in the Web Shop at the time when the order is placed.

The Terms and Conditions are governed by Swedish law. If you live in a country other than Sweden, there may be mandatory consumer protection laws which give you rights in addition to those in these Terms and Conditions and in Swedish consumer protection legislation.

We are entitled to refuse an order on the basis of the results of a validation process of this kind.


6. The right to cancel a purchase and the returns process

When Consumers purchase products from the Web Shop, they always have a 14-day cooling-off period under the terms of the Swedish Distance and Doorstep Selling Act. This means that you as a Consumer are entitled to cancel your purchase by informing VOLVO of this within 14 days of receiving the product. However, the right to cancel a purchase does not apply to products which have been manufactured or significantly modified to meet your specific requirements or which have clearly been personalized in other ways. In order for a return to be accepted, the product must be sent back in an essentially unchanged condition, which means that it must be unused, complete and clean. However, this does not apply if the product has been destroyed or modified as a result of a measure which was necessary in order to inspect it or because of some other circumstance outside your control. You are responsible for paying the shipping costs for products which are returned to VOLVO 's warehouse in Jönköping in Sweden and for ensuring that the products are returned in an essentially unchanged condition. The products must be returned within fourteen (14) days of the date when you sent the notification about exercising your right to cancel the purchase. VOLVO will inspect products that have been returned for faults and wear and, if VOLVO establishes that the product is in an essentially unchanged condition, the cost of the product will be refunded to the credit/debit card used to purchase the product. VOLVO will refund the amount within thirty (30) days of receiving the product. VOLVO reserves the right to refuse to accept a returned product, if the product is not in an essentially unchanged condition. Products which are being returned must be packed carefully in the original packaging, in order to prevent damage.
