Thus, according to GEO no. 34/2014 on consumer rights within contracts concluded with professionals, as well as for the amendment and completion of certain normative acts, the withdrawal period expires within 14 calendar days starting from:
the day on which the User takes physical possession of the Good that is the subject of the Order;
the day on which the User takes physical possession of the last Good – in the case where the User orders, through a single Order, multiple Goods which shall be delivered separately;
the day on which the User takes physical possession of the last lot or the last piece – in the case of delivery of a Good consisting of several lots or pieces.
6.2 In order to exercise the right of withdrawal, the User must inform us, indicating the name, postal address, order code, so that it may be identified by ANCEIN, and, if applicable, the telephone number and e-mail address, regarding the decision to withdraw from this Contract. For this purpose, the User may complete and send electronically from the Site the return form found at the address, or any other unequivocal statement. If the User uses this option, we shall send him without delay, by e-mail, confirmation of receipt of the withdrawal request.
6.3 In order to meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for the User to send the communication regarding the exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
6.4 If the User requests withdrawal from the Contract within the legal withdrawal period from the contract, he must also return any gifts that accompanied the respective product, and for products constituting a kit/set they must be returned as a kit/set.
6.5 If the User withdraws, if the Order is paid, the Seller shall reimburse the amount within a maximum of 14 (fourteen) calendar days from the date of informing the Seller by the User of his decision to withdraw from this Contract.

6.8 Since, in the case of distance sales, the User does not have the possibility to check the Goods before concluding the contract, he has the right to withdraw from the contract. For the same reason, the User is allowed to test and check the Goods he has purchased to the extent necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the Goods.
6.9 In order to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the Goods, the User must handle and inspect them in the same way as he would be allowed to do in a real physical store. For example: the User must only try on an item of clothing, not wear it on various occasions.
6.10 In order to be returned, the Goods must be in the same condition in which they were delivered, unworn, without stains, scratches, dents, cuts or tears. The User is responsible only for the diminished value of the Goods resulting from handling other than what is necessary to determine the nature, qualities and functioning of the Goods.
6.11 The accessories (laces, protection bag, etc.) found in the box of the Good, the labels, as well as its original packaging are an integral part of the Good. Consequently, we recommend that, when exercising the right of withdrawal from the contract, the User return it in the original undamaged packaging, packaged, if applicable, in the protective box used by ANCEIN for its delivery, overprinted with the ANCEIN logo (see art. 5.15 above), or in a similar protective box (without labels stuck on it, without cuts, tears, etc.) and together with all its accessories and labels.
6.12 If a Good ordered by the User cannot be delivered by the Seller, regardless of whether or not the respective Order has been confirmed according to the procedure in point 5.11 above, the Seller shall inform the User of this fact and shall return to the User’s account the countervalue of the Good, received from the User, within a maximum of 7 (seven) calendar days from the date on which the Seller became aware of this fact or from the date on which the User expressly expressed his intention to terminate the Contract.

10.2 General conditions for granting the warranty
ANCEIN STUDIOS S.R.L., having the identification data at point 1 above, as seller, is liable towards you, as consumer, for any lack of conformity existing at the moment of delivery of the Goods.
Please take note of the provisions of this warranty and keep the purchase invoice, for any complaints regarding the lack of conformity of the Good.
Please send any complaint, in writing, to the e-mail address customercareancein@gmail.com or to the address Romania, Timisoara, Timis, Johann Heinrich Pestalozzi 22 Street, 300115, room 208.
The information and pictograms regarding the composition and the cleaning and maintenance instructions of the Goods are found either on the inner label of the Goods, or on the cardboard tag attached thereto. These are specific to each type of Good.
Please consult the meaning of the pictograms, in order to identify the maintenance/cleaning methods specific to each type of Good. For the granting of the warranty, please also consult and comply with the cleaning and maintenance instructions specific to each Good.
The warranty is not applicable and ANCEIN cannot be held liable in any way for defects that may occur due to:
the cleaning/washing/maintenance process that does not comply with the specific instructions of each Good, indicated according to the above;
storage or use of the Goods in humidity conditions;
fading as a result of exposure to sun or other strong sources of heat;
repair or modification made by unauthorized persons;
normal wear and tear of the Good;
use in improper, incorrect conditions, by the User, other than those for which the Good was designed.
ANCEIN grants the consumer a legal warranty of conformity of two years, in accordance with the provisions and limitations of Emergency Ordinance no. 140/2021 on certain aspects relating to sales contracts for goods and those of Government Ordinance no. 21/1992 on consumer protection, for deficiencies not attributable to the consumer, provided that the recommendations for use and maintenance are complied with.
Corrective measures in case of lack of conformity
In the event of lack of conformity of the Good, the consumer has the right to request that ANCEIN bring it into conformity (repair or replacement of the Good) or, as the case may be, a proportional reduction of the price or reimbursement of the price paid for the Good which implies termination of the Contract.
According to the provisions of Emergency Ordinance no. 140/2021 on certain aspects relating to sales contracts for goods, any lack of conformity that is found within one year from the date on which the Goods were delivered is presumed to have already existed at the moment of delivery of the Goods, until proven otherwise or except where this presumption is incompatible with the nature of the Goods or the nature of the lack of conformity.
In order for the Good to be brought into conformity, the consumer may choose between repair and replacement, except where the chosen corrective measure would be impossible or, compared to the other available corrective measure, would impose on ANCEIN costs that would be disproportionate, taking into account all circumstances, including the following:
the value of the Good if there had not been a lack of conformity;
the seriousness of the lack of conformity; or
whether the alternative corrective measure could be carried out without any significant inconvenience for the consumer.
ANCEIN may refuse to bring the Good into conformity if repair or replacement is impossible or would impose on it costs that would be disproportionate, taking into account all circumstances, including those provided under letters a) and b) above.
The consumer has the right either to obtain a proportional reduction of the price (the price reduction is proportional to the diminished value of the Good received by the consumer compared to the value the Good would have if it were in conformity), or to obtain termination of the Contract, which implies reimbursement of the price paid for the Good, according to the below, in any of the following cases:
ANCEIN has not completed the repair or replacement or, as the case may be, has not completed the repair or replacement according to the provisions below regarding the repair or replacement of the Good or ANCEIN has refused to bring the Good into conformity according to the above-mentioned;
a lack of conformity is found, despite ANCEIN’s efforts to remedy it;
the lack of conformity is of such gravity as to justify a price reduction or the right to immediate termination of the Contract which implies reimbursement of the price paid for the Good;
ANCEIN has declared that it shall not bring the Good into conformity within a reasonable time or without significant inconvenience for the consumer or this clearly results from the circumstances of the case.
The consumer does not have the right to obtain termination of the Contract which implies reimbursement of the price paid for the Good if the lack of conformity is minor. The burden of proof regarding the minor character of the lack of conformity rests with ANCEIN.
The consumer may choose a certain corrective measure if the lack of conformity of the Good is found shortly after delivery, without exceeding 30 calendar days.
Repair or replacement of the Good
Repairs or replacements are carried out in compliance with the following conditions:
free of charge;
within a reasonable time that may not exceed 15 calendar days from the moment ANCEIN was informed by the consumer of the lack of conformity and which is established by mutual written agreement between ANCEIN and the consumer, taking into account the nature and complexity of the Good, the nature and seriousness of the lack of conformity and the effort necessary to complete the repair or replacement;
without any significant inconvenience for the consumer, taking into account the nature of the Good and the purpose for which the consumer requested the Good in question.
If the lack of conformity is to be remedied by repair or replacement of the goods, the consumer shall make the Good available to ANCEIN.
ANCEIN takes over the replaced Good at its own expense.
If the lack of conformity is remedied by replacement, for the Good replacing the non-conforming Good, the two-year term provided above starts to run from the date of replacement.
Termination of the Contract which implies reimbursement of the price
The consumer exercises his right to obtain termination of the Contract by a statement to ANCEIN, by which he expresses his decision to obtain termination of the Contract.
If the lack of conformity concerns only some of the Goods delivered and there is a reason for termination of the Contract pursuant to the provisions above from the chapter called “Corrective measures in case of lack of conformity”, the consumer may obtain termination of the Contract in relation to the respective Goods, as well as any other Goods purchased together with the non-conforming Goods, where the consumer cannot reasonably be expected to agree to keep only the conforming Goods.
If the consumer obtains termination of the Contract as a whole or, according to the above paragraph, in relation to some of the Goods delivered under the Contract:
the consumer returns the Goods to the Seller, at the latter’s expense;
the Seller reimburses the consumer the price paid for the Goods, into a bank account indicated by the consumer for this purpose, within 15 calendar days upon receipt of the Goods or of proof presented by the consumer that the goods have been returned.
Damage to the Goods, such as, for example: scratches, stains, tears, which were not brought to ANCEIN’s attention at the moment of receipt of the Good by the consumer, for the purpose of granting the warranty, are not covered by the warranty. Unauthorized interventions on the Good, failure to comply with maintenance and cleaning instructions, as well as its use under conditions other than those for which it was designed lead to cancellation of the warranty.
In the specific case of footwear, discomfort, injuries or deformations of the foot and damage to the footwear resulting from wearing footwear of a size or shape unsuitable for the foot, as well as improper use or maintenance, are exclusively the responsibility of the consumer and cancel the warranty. Excessive, abnormal use, improper or lack of care, negligence, improper use lead to the loss of the warranty.
Excessive wear of heels due to abrasion and damage to uppers or soles, occurring as a result of impact or rubbing against other materials, surfaces or exposure to the sun or high temperatures, are not covered by the warranty. Washing footwear with water or in the washing machine, cleaning with laundry detergents or bleaching products is done at one’s own risk and results in the loss of the warranty.
The Seller cannot be held responsible for defects occurring as a result of contact with pavement, terrain asperities and neither for defects resulting from snagging or stepping on blunt objects, metals, stones, glass, etc. Damage occurring as a result of contact with water, snow, solvents, fuels, sand, tar, soft bitumen or other corrosive materials is not covered by the warranty. The exception is footwear equipped with TEX membranes or rubber footwear.
Coloring of leather or textiles that have come into direct contact with colored footwear is due to excess dye and does not constitute grounds for complaint. For this reason, we recommend the use of impregnation products and dark-colored socks. Footwear may be made partially or entirely by hand and, as a result, may show small differences or irregularities. These do not constitute manufacturing defects and are an indication of authenticity. Excessive filling of bags, backpacks and bum bags (waist bags) and exceeding the maximum allowed weight leads to their deterioration and, implicitly, to the loss of the warranty.
Attention! Do not cut the inner label of the Goods! The lack of the inner label automatically leads to the loss of the warranty.
10.3 Instructions for use and maintenance for clothing items (from materials other than leather)
The Good shall be washed or cleaned according to the instructions indicated on the Good’s label. For washing the Good, only detergents that comply with the quality standards imposed by EU legislation regarding the safe use of such products shall be used. Do not use industrial cleaning products for washing or cleaning the Goods, as these may irreversibly damage the quality of the material.
