In accordance with articles VI.47 to VI.53 of the Code of Economic Law, the Customer has a period of 14 calendar days from receipt of the order to exercise their right of withdrawal, without having to state a reason and without penalty.
The period starts from the day the Customer (or a third party designated by the Customer, other than the carrier) takes physical possession of the product.

- unopened, in their original undamaged packaging;
- in perfect resalable condition;
- accompanied by proof of purchase.
Products opened or unsealed after delivery cannot be returned for hygiene and health protection reasons, in accordance with article VI.53, 5° of the Code of Economic Law.
This exclusion is brought to the consumer's attention before placing the order, in accordance with the pre-contractual information obligation (article VI.45, § 1, 11°).
Any product returned incomplete, used, damaged, or unfit for resale may be refused.

GUST CARE reserves the right to refuse a refund if the return conditions are not met.
8. Non-refundable products
For hygiene and health protection reasons, in accordance with article VI.53, 5° of the Code of Economic Law, products opened or unsealed after delivery cannot be refunded or exchanged.

In Belgium, all consumer goods benefit from a 2-year legal guarantee of conformity (articles 1649bis to 1649octies of the former Civil Code, transposing Directive (EU) 2019/771).
If a lack of conformity appears within the first 12 months, it is presumed to have existed at the time of delivery. The Customer is entitled to repair, replacement, a price reduction, or a refund.
