A number of conditions are attached to returning products, which are listed below. Furthermore, we ask that you handle our products with care and not damage the packaging, and return all items of clothing in the original plastic bag to prevent damage to the material.

* The returned item is unused and must be returned unworn and in the original packaging. The article’s tags must still be attached to the product and there must be no traces that indicate that the product has been worn.
* By law, products such as briefs may be excluded from the right of return for hygienic reasons. This means that these items cannot be returned. This way, we assure all our customers that the product is new and that we handle our products with care.
* Peter Domenie does not ship briefs sealed, the law applies the rule that you as a customer can always fit / view clothes, and can break a seal for this. This means that sealing clothes (briefs) has no extra value.
The responsibility and costs for the return lie entirely on the customer. We do not take any responsibility for returns that are lost on their way back to us. If a package arrives after the 14 day return period, we have the right to refuse the return.
