Returvillkoren

Returvillkoren is a term used in Swedish and Norwegian to describe the terms and conditions a seller sets for returning goods or canceling a purchase. They are typically presented on a retailer’s website, in receipts, or in product catalogs and outline what is required for a return, who pays for return shipping, and how a refund or exchange is processed. The purpose is to inform customers about their rights and the seller’s obligations in the event of a return.

A typical set of returvillkoren includes the return window (how many days the customer has to initiate a return), the condition of items eligible for return (unused, with original packaging, intact tags), what documentation is needed (order number, receipt), and the process to initiate a return (how to request an RMA, where to send the package). They also specify who bears the cost of return shipping, whether a restocking fee is charged, and whether refunds are issued to the original payment method or as store credit. Some items may be excluded from returns, such as customized products, perishable goods, or digitally delivered content after access.

Legal context generally influences returvillkoren. In the EU/EEA, consumer protection rules give a minimum withdrawal right for distance selling (often around 14 days), and sellers may offer more generous terms. Terms must be clear, easily accessible, and not misleading. If a product is defective or not as described, consumer rights may override standard return terms, entitling a remedy beyond the stated policy. For both consumers and retailers, returvillkoren provide a framework for handling exchanges, refunds, and disputes in a predictable manner.
