The information on the credit card (number of the card, expiry date etc.) are forwarded automatically via a coded security system to the payment provider without ELITES or any third party having any kind of access to this data. Even in the event of a possible refund, the complete credit card details cannot become known. This is why a refund is only possible on the card with which the purchase was originally made. The financial information connected with credit card transactions (number of the card, expiry date etc.) are automatically forwarded with a coded message without ELITES or a third party having any access to them. Except in the event of a refund on possible returns, this information will never again be used.

Please note that the credit card account is directly debited but the payment is under review by our service provider. We are not allowed to send out the order until the payment is verified.

Please be also aware that with credit card payments the billing address and the delivery address must be both either within or outside EU.

Online security

www.elites.shop uses the security software SSL (Secure Socket Layer). This is an asymmetrical encoding method in the Internet that protects your credit card data from being overheard or manipulated whilst your credit card data is being transmitted. It is therefore impossible for any unauthorized person to read this data whilst it is being transferred in the Internet.

With Sofort banking, you will have to select your country and with the help of the bank’s sort code, you will also have to choose the bank that will carry out the transfer. Then you will be directed in the login section of the Sofort banking secure payment form. Please login with your own online banking details. The information will be sent to your bank in an encrypted form and you will be asked for a confirmation code. Each confirmation code can be used only once and for your security cannot be entered a second time. After that, you will receive a summary of your transfer in the order confirmation E-Mail from our online shop. This will give you all the information about your purchase in one place.

Please be aware that this payment method is only available in certain countries.

When you select Bancontact as the payment method, you fill in your card details. You are then redirected to your usual internet banking environment. You insert your Bancontact card into the card reader, enter the relevant details online, and complete the transaction.

Selecting iDEAL as your payment method, you will have to select your bank and you will be forwarded to the online banking offered by your bank, where you login as you are used to. Your payment details are already filled in and all you have to do is approve the payment. You will receive immediately a confirmation from your bank. Please be aware that this payment method is only available in certain countries.

Follow the instructions on your screen to complete your payment when you select a payment method other than Credit Card, Bancontact, Sofort Banking or iDeal.

All orders are shipped from our warehouse in Europe to your delivery address.

Estimated transit time after dispatch:

European Union: 1-5 working days. As soon as the parcel leaves our warehouse, you will receive an automatic E-Mail with a tracking number to follow the status of the delivery.

Other Countries: 5 to 10 working days. Please be aware that in case of deliveries outside European Union orders are processed but they are not shipped on the same day. The parcels have to pass customs before we can send them out. This usually takes around 3/4 days. For this reason, it usually takes more or less 10 days before the parcel gets to you.

• Please note that orders with more than one item might be delivered from different warehouses. As a result you could receive more than one parcel.
• Orders that come from different warehouses will be processed as fast as possible, but there might be short delays.
• Please note that shipments to post office boxes will generally not be delivered.

Orders are processed from Monday to Friday, but please notice that orders which are placed Friday afternoon, Saturday and Sunday will be processed on Monday morning. Since postal services are not working during the weekend, these orders will generally reach you after the weekend.

Our purpose is to guarantee your full satisfaction. If, for any reason whatsoever, you are not satisfied with your order, you may exercise your right to return purchased products within fourteen (14) days from the date on which you received them from the Vendor. Returned items must be shipped back to the Vendor within fourteen (14) days from the date on which you informed the Vendor of your decision to withdraw from the contract. The products may be returned by dispatching the package through the shipping agent indicated by the Vendor, or through another shipping agent. We also invite you to complete the Return Form* available on the web site in the Customer Care area, in order for us to provide you with a Return Number (the Vendor will send you an e-mail confirming receipt of the withdrawal request sent through the Return Form), or after having drafted and sent the Vendor another declaration explicitly stating your decision to withdraw from the contract, without prejudice, in this latter case, to it remaining your responsibility to prove that you exercised your withdrawal right in a proper, timely manner. It is not possible to return an item in exchange for another.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF RETURN

The right to return products shall be deemed correctly exercised once the following conditions have been fully met:

a) Return Form* sent directly online through Elites.shop or another declaration explicitly stating your decision to withdraw from the contract must be correctly completed and sent to the Vendor within fourteen (14) days after receiving the products;
b) the products must not have been used, worn or washed;
c) the identification tag must still be attached to the products, along with the disposable seal, which constitutes an integral part of the item;
d) the returned products must be in their original packaging;
e) the returned products must be delivered to the shipping agent within fourteen (14) days of when you informed the Vendor of your decision to withdraw from the contract;
f) the products must not be damaged.

If you have fulfilled all requirements set forth above, the Vendor will fully refund the price of the returned purchased products. You will only be charged for the return shipping cost, unless the Vendor expressly exempt you from these costs at the time of purchase, and on the subsequent condition that you use the shipping agent indicated in the Return Form. Should you decide to use the courier indicated by the Vendor in the online Return Form, you will not have to directly take care of the return shipping costs, which are at your expense. In this case, the Vendor will pay the return shipping costs for you and will withhold a flat fee as payment for the return shipping. The fee will correspond to the original cost of shipping for the order. If an alternative courier is used for your return, you will have to pay for the return shipping cost upfront and at your own expense. You will be notified if the returned products cannot be accepted because they do not comply with the conditions indicated in letters a), e) and f) of the previous paragraph. In this case, you may choose to have the purchased products redelivered to you at your expense. If you refuse the above delivery, ELITES reserves the right to retain the products and the amount paid for your purchase of the products. You will also be contacted if your return cannot be accepted because it does not comply with the conditions indicated in letters b), c) and d) of the preceding paragraph. In this case, you may choose to accept a decrease in the refund, of which you will be informed, due to the decrease in value of the returned products, or to have the purchased products redelivered to you at your expense. Should you refuse this delivery, ELITES reserves the right to retain the products and the amount indicated for the decrease in refund, due to the decrease in value of the returned products.

Important: please note that any duties, taxes and fees you have paid for the delivery of the purchased products shall not be refunded.

REFUND TIMES AND PROCEDURES

After the Vendor has received the returned products and checked that the products meet all requirements, you will receive an e-mail that the returned products have been accepted, or, if a decrease in value of the returned products has been detected, you will receive an email informing you of the amount being deducted from the refund. Whatever form of payment you used (Credit/Debit Card), the refund procedure will start within fourteen (14) days from when the Vendor was informed of your decision to exercise your right to return the purchased products and once the Vendor has checked that the return was carried out in compliance with the above conditions.

REFUND TIMES AND PROCEDURES

After the Vendor has received the returned products and checked that the products meet all requirements, you will receive an e-mail that the returned products have been accepted. Whatever form of payment you used (Credit/Debit Card, Sofort, Bancontact, iDeal), the refund procedure will start within fourteen (14) days from when the Vendor was informed of your decision to exercise your right to return the purchased products and once the Vendor has checked that the return was carried out in compliance with the above conditions.
The time period for refunding the amount you paid for purchasing the returned products depends on the form of payment used:

• purchase by Credit/Debit Card: refund time will depend on the Credit Card company’s policies. We would like to assure you, however, that the value date for the credit will coincide with the date of the original payment; therefore you will not suffer any interest loss;
• payment by Sofort, Bancontact, iDeal: the refund is issued to the checking account you have indicated, therefore the refund time is dependent on you correctly entering the data; normally the credit occurs within fourteen (14) days.

IDENTIFICATION TAG

All products sold by the Vendor include an identification tag attached complete with a disposable seal. Please try on the products without removing the tag and seal. Returned products without the tag or seal will not be accepted.

RETURN SHIPPING

You will have to pay for the cost of return shipping upfront and you will be responsible in case of loss or damage to the products during transport.

Withdrawals, cancellations, exchanges or returns are not accepted for orders of customised products.
