you will receive a notice to pick it up at the post office. If your package is not picked up at the post office
in the allotted time, the price of the order remains due and will not be reimbursed. We are free to dispose of
Products that have not been picked up at the post office and that have been returned to us, and to sell them
to a third party without authorization. However, you have the option to request redelivery of Products of the
same type in the same quantities, as long as there is available inventory and you prepay the return costs and
the costs to redeliver the item.

Standard delivery charges in Switzerland are offered for orders of CHF 5.00 (five Swiss francs) or more.
We may change the values specified above at any time.

Order Retraction/Cancellation
You may cancel or return your order from the date you placed your order until 30 days after receipt of the items only if the Products are in their original packaging. We will not accept returns of HEETS packs unless they are intact and their plastic wrapping is unopened.
If you have already paid for your items, your reimbursement will not include delivery charges. You are responsible for all
costs to send back items that you return to us. If you choose to keep some items and only partially cancel your
order, delivery charges will not be reimbursed.
If you wish to cancel or return your order, please contact our toll-free customer service number 0800 050 000, which will
explain how to do so. You may also notify us by e-mail at the following address: contact.ch@iqos.com. We will
attempt to reimburse you using the same payment method that you used to pay for the items (or, if you have not
yet paid for the items, to show this item return in your account balance) as soon as possible and no later than
14 days after we receive your cancellation notice, provided that we have received the returned items or proof
that you have returned them within no more than 30 days after you receive the order. Another payment method may
be used to reimburse you if you give us your consent. In any case, you will not incur additional charges.
We guarantee reimbursement for any item returned in accordance with this "Order Retraction/Cancellation" clause,
provided that all items are returned in the same condition in which you received them. This means that Products
must be in their original packaging and must not have been used or damaged.
If the item that you received is defective, please inform us as soon as possible and return the item in accordance with the
"Warranty for defects" clause below.
