Return and Refund Policy – Bigtoysworld.com
Effective Date: 03/02/2024 (Last updated: 05/06/2025)
In accordance with Article VI.47 of the Belgian Code of Economic Law, you have a 14-calendar-day withdrawal period from the date of receipt of your order to exercise your right of withdrawal, without needing to provide any reason or incur penalties.
Return Conditions
Returns are accepted under the following conditions:
- The return is reported within 14 days of receiving the order.
- The product has not been used beyond normal inspection and remains in good condition.
- The product is returned complete (accessories, manuals, packaging) along with a copy of the invoice.
Important: Opening the packaging does not invalidate the right of withdrawal. However, if the product shows signs of wear, damage, or missing components, Bigtoysworld.com reserves the right to apply a reduction to the refund amount, as permitted by Article VI.50 §2 of the Code of Economic Law.
Depreciation and Proof
If a returned product is damaged or incomplete, a proportional deduction from the refund may be applied. This evaluation will be based on objective criteria, including internal photographs and inspection reports.
Non-Returnable Products
According to Article VI.53 of the Code of Economic Law, the following products are excluded from the right of withdrawal:
- Used or clearly deteriorated products
- Customized or made-to-order items
- Used gift cards
- Products purchased as part of a conditional offer or partially returned bundles
- Digital content downloaded after purchase (files, PDF guides, etc.)
Note: For partial returns on promotional orders, the refund will be adjusted based on the revised discount applicable to the retained products.
