If it is not possible to deliver a product by the estimated time, BabyBjörn will send an e-mail message with information to the Customer.

Notification may be made via SMS, the postal service, email or telephone. In the event of non-collection of a parcel, BabyBjörn reserves the right to invoice the Customer for return shipping, a service charge and handling fee.
7. Right of withdrawal
7.1 When purchasing products on the Website, if required by law, there is a 14-day right of withdrawal in accordance with applicable consumer protection legislation. This means that the Customer is entitled to withdraw from their purchase by informing BabyBjörn of this decision within 14 days of the Customer or the Customer’s agent receiving the ordered product (“the cooling-off period”).
7.2 The right of withdrawal does not apply to: (i) bespoke products that have been made to order or are clearly personalised; (ii) products that cannot suitably be returned with unsealed packaging for health or hygiene reasons, and which have been unsealed by the Customer; or (iii) products ordered in, and delivered to, a jurisdiction in which the cooling-off period does not apply at law.
7.3 When the Customer orders a product to which the right of withdrawal does not apply, the Customer receives clear information to this effect. If a product has been sealed, the Customer may not break the seal if they want to be able to exercise their right of withdrawal later. In other words, the right of withdrawal will be terminated if the Customer breaks the seal.
7.4 If the Customer wants to withdraw from a purchase made on the Website, before the cooling off period expires, the Customer should send a clear and unequivocal message to BabyBjörn containing the following information: (i) the order number and the product for which the Customer wishes to exercise the right of withdrawal, (ii) the Customer’s name, (iii) the Customer’s address, and (iv) any other contact details. The Customer should primarily use the “Return of Products to BabyBjörn Shop” form available here (“Withdrawal Notice“). BabyBjörn will then send e-mail confirmation to the Customer that BabyBjörn has received the Withdrawal Notice.
7.5 When exercising the right of withdrawal, the Customer pays the return shipping costs and is liable for the condition of the product after the Customer has received the product as well as during return shipping. The product should be returned to BabyBjörn within 14 days of informing BabyBjörn of the intention to exercise the right of withdrawal. The product should be sent well-packaged, undamaged, in good condition and in its original box.
Returns should be made to BabyBjörn in the way BabyBjörn has specified in its confirmation of the Customer’s decision to exercise the right of withdrawal. The description of the way the product should be returned is also available on the Website under the Returns section here.
7.6 If the Customer withdraws from their purchase, the amount the Customer has paid for the product is refunded to the Customer, including any delivery charges in connection with the purchase. Exceptions apply to any supplementary delivery charges as a result of the Customer selecting a delivery method than the standard delivery offered by BabyBjörn. When returning part of an order, the delivery cost is not refunded. BabyBjörn is entitled to deduct a sum from the amount to be refunded equivalent to the product’s depreciation compared to the product’s original value if and to the degree that such depreciation is due to the Customer having handled the product to a greater extent than is necessary to establish its qualities or function (or any other act or omission of the Customer).
7.7 BabyBjörn refunds the amount as quickly as possible and no later than 14 days after receiving the Withdrawal Notice. However, BabyBjörn is allowed to delay the refund until either (in its absolute discretion) BabyBjörn has received the product or the Customer has shown evidence satisfactory to BabyBjörn that the product has been sent back. The Customer will be refunded via the payment option selected by the Customer in the Withdrawal Notice, provided that no other agreement has been made or that there are no obstacles to such a refund (as reasonably determined by BabyBjörn).
8. Warranty and Complaints
8.1 Certain BabyBjörn products may be covered by a warranty which is more favourable than the Customer’s rights under applicable consumer protection legislation in the jurisdiction in which the products are ordered and delivered. In these cases, information about any warranty period and the specific warranty terms and conditions for any such product are specified in the product description contained on the Website.
The warranty only covers original manufacturing defects and not defects arising from the Customer’s alterations to the product’s function and appearance, accidents, misuse, deviations from care and servicing instructions, as well as normal use and wear and tear. A defect occurs if there is a material non-conformance with the specifications for the product as set out on the Website.
8.2 The right of complaint in accordance with applicable consumer protection legislation covers products that are defective in accordance with relevant consumer protection legislation. A Customer who wishes to complain about a defect in a product they have ordered should contact BabyBjörn’s Customer Service and notify them of the defect within a reasonable time after the Customer has noticed or should have noticed the defect (“Complaint“). Complaints made within two (2) months of the Customer noticing the defect are considered to have been made in the right time (“Defect Period“). The Customer has three (3) years’ right of complaint on products purchased on the Website, but the defect should always be reported within the Defect Period after the Customer noticed or ought reasonably to have noticed the defect. A defect that comes to light within six (6) months of the Customer receiving the ordered product is considered to have existed at the time the product was received, unless BabyBjörn can prove otherwise, or this is incompatible with the nature of the product or the defect.
8.3 BabyBjörn pays return shipping costs for approved Complaints.
8.4 Once the product that is the subject of the Complaint has been returned and the Complaint approved, BabyBjörn will compensate the Customer to the extent required by applicable consumer protection legislation. BabyBjörn will endeavour to do so within 30 days of the date on which BabyBjörn received the complaint, but it may take longer depending on the nature of the product. BabyBjörn reserves the right to reject a complaint if the product turns out not to be defective in accordance with applicable consumer protection legislation. In the event of complaints, BabyBjörn follows guidelines from an ADR entity. To find out more, please visit: arn.se or http://ec.europa.eu/odr
9. Changes to these Terms
9.1 BabyBjörn reserves the right at any time and at its own discretion to make changes to these Terms without giving any prior notice, subject to all applicable laws. When BabyBjörn makes changes to these Terms, BabyBjörn will post the new Terms on the Website. Changes apply from the time the Customer accepts the Terms (by making a new purchase or by visiting the Website), or 30 days after BabyBjörn has informed the Customer about the changes (in respect of new or future orders). BabyBjörn recommends that the Customer checks the Website regularly to find out about any changes to these Terms.
9.2 Each purchase that the Customer has made, however, will be governed by the Terms in force at the time each respective order was placed.
10. Invalidity
10.1 If any provision or part thereof in these Terms should be held by any court to be invalid or unenforceable, this will not invalidate the Terms in their entirety. Reasonable adjustment of the invalid provision should be made instead, so that it becomes valid and enforceable to the extent that the applicable law allows OR TO THE EXTENT THIS IS NOT POSSIBLE THE INVALID TERM should BE SEVERED FROM THESE TERMS AND THE REMAINING PROVISIONS WILL APPLY.
11. Applicable law and disputes
11.1 If any dispute arises between the Customer and BabyBjörn arising out of or in respect to these Terms (“Dispute“), the Customer and BabyBjörn must use reasonable endeavours and act in good faith to resolve the Dispute by amicable agreement after discussion with BabyBjörn’s Customer Service. In the event of a Dispute, BabyBjörn follows decisions from an ADR entity.
11.2 A dispute involving the construction or application of these Terms should be construed in accordance with Swedish law and be decided by a court of law in Sweden.
11.3 In addition, the Customer may instead choose to settle the Dispute by ADR procedure by submitting a complaint to the ODR platform http://ec.europa.eu/odr. More information about the ADR procedure is available on the ODR platform. BabyBjörn accepts that a Dispute is decided by the ADR entities that are competent to deal with the complaint.
