Transaction cancellations without cancellation fees
Discrepancy - a user who requests to cancel the transaction due to a defect in the product, a discrepancy between the product that was received and the product that was described in the proper disclosure form or another contractual violation. Even if the package of the product has already been opened, the seller will reimburse the user within 14 days from the day on which the cancellation notice was received and will make sure that the product is returned from his home on account of the consumer without charging cancellation fees.
In any event in which a user claims “discrepancy” about a product that was provided thereto, he must prove that there indeed is a discrepancy between the ordered product and the supplied product.
This claim is not the Company’s justification or approval of the transaction cancellation without receiving an explicit proof for the alleged discrepancy.
Transaction cancellations without cancellation fees
In the event of a cancellation which is not a result of a discrepancy as defined below, that part of the transaction price that was paid by the user will be reimbursed within 14 days from the date on which the cancellation notice was received. It will cancel the debit due to the transaction; it will provide a copy of the cancellation notice of the debit; and it will collect cancellation fees which will not exceed 5% of the price of the product or the service which is the subject of the contract or the transaction, or NIS 100, whichever lower. In this case, the user will return the product to the seller on his account.
Special cases in which it is impossible to cancel a transaction
Special products according to the law. The right to cancel the transaction will not apply to products which are specified in the law, to products that do not correspond with the details of the order confirmation and to pieces of jewelry that were personally assembled.
No refunds on gifts. No refund will be given for items for which no financial consideration has been paid, such as gifts.
A consumer has no right to cancel a transaction in order to infringe GEMS’ right to claim its damages if products whose value declined as a result of significant worsening in their condition while they were in the consumer’s possession are returned, excluding if a product which was used, whose package was opened or damaged, which was damaged, harmed and/or received any blow whatsoever was returned.
The shop will be subject to the Company’s decisions about the return of products, and it will be obligated to realize its decisions with respect thereto.
