Exchanges and Returns

PUREWATER works daily to provide excellent service to its customers. This premise obviously includes our demanding and rigorous service policy, where all efforts are channeled to respond to the customer’s requirements. When purchasing equipment in our online store at www.purevapo.pt or in our physical store, the customer is automatically covered by the satisfaction guarantee, which allows him to return or exchange equipment within the first 14 days (except for the exceptions described in point b). We remind you that, with regard to the resolution of contracts (commonly called returns), there are elements in Portuguese legislation that differentiate online purchases (at a distance with shipping via courier) from purchases made or collected directly in a physical store.

Returns for purchases made in the online store

For purchases made in an online store and subsequent delivery via courier, Portuguese legislation determines a period of 14 days, after physical receipt of the items, during which it is possible to return them without the need to indicate a reason to the seller. In these cases of free termination of the contract, the postage and fees resulting from this return will be borne by the consumer, as stipulated in n. º 2 of article 13 of Decree-Law n. º 24/2014, of 14 February.

Returns for purchases made in a physical store

For purchases made in a physical commercial space, Portuguese legislation does not establish the obligation of the seller (in this case PUREWATER) to accept the contract resolution (commonly known as return), if the respective item is in conformity. In these cases, although Portuguese legislation does not oblige the seller to accept the return of the item purchased by the consumer, PUREWATER, as a courtesy to the customer, may, after rigorous analysis, accept this return within the first 14 days after purchase. However, and if PUREWATER accepts the same return, the refund can only be made through a credit note. This credit note can be partially or completely discounted on new purchases at PUREWATER, both in the online store at www.purevapo.pt or in our physical store. These credit notes resulting from contractual resolutions are valid for 1 year from the date of issue. We draw attention to the fact that in cases of online purchases, in which the customer chooses to pick up in our physical store, they will be subject to the legislation that regulates purchases made directly in physical commercial space and not by the legislation that governs purchases. performed online.

Advice and Tips

PUREWATER understands and respects the purpose of the legislation that allows the customer to enjoy the so-called “reflection period”. However, this does not mean that the customer can carry out intensive research and be duly informed before making an online purchase. It is very important to make sure that the item you are buying meets all your expectations and that it will solve your problem or satisfy your needs. It is for this reason that we try to provide as much information and explanations as possible on the respective pages of each item available in our store. In addition, the Internet is nowadays a powerful tool for information and clarification of doubts. Unfortunately, many of the processes for returning online purchases result from some precipitation on the part of some customers, processes that end up entailing high associated costs and that force the allocation of employees and resources to deal with them. These are all expenses that could be avoided and whose financial margin could be applied in even more advantageous prices for our customers. For this reason, PUREWATER recommends the following measures before making any purchase: E.1 – Always contact our services, we will be happy to provide you with clarification. E.2 – If you go to our physical store, ask all questions to our employee. E.3 – Make sure that the item you are purchasing really matches what you want. E.4 – Do research on search engines and watch videos of this product on Youtube. E.5 – Look for friends, colleagues or relatives who may have the same item. E.6 – After purchase, open the package carefully, as it is essential if you need to return it. E.7 – Always confirm the condition of the equipment, accessories and manuals inside the package. Points E.6 and E.7 are extremely important in cases of returns and/or exchanges, since the more you respect these conditions, the easier the resolution will be for all parties involved (not applicable in the items mentioned in points B .1 and B.2).
