Return Policy
Last updated: June 2026
1. Right of withdrawal
1.1. In accordance with Romanian Emergency Ordinance no. 34/2014, you have the right to withdraw from the sales contract within 14 calendar days, without invoking any reason, starting from the day you take possession of the products.
1.2. The right of withdrawal applies exclusively to consumers (individuals).
1.3. The right of withdrawal DOES NOT apply to purchases made for professional purposes (B2B), according to EGO 34/2014.
1.4. Placing an order automatically forms a distance sales contract. In this policy, the terms "contract" and "order" refer to the same purchase — withdrawing from the contract means, in short, cancelling your order and returning the products.
2. How to return a product
2.1. Withdrawal notification
To exercise your right of withdrawal, notify us with an unambiguous statement:

In the notification, please mention:
- Order number

- Full name and address
- Products you wish to return
- Reason for withdrawal (optional)
2.2. Standard withdrawal form
You can use the standard form below or any other unambiguous declaration:

I hereby inform you that I withdraw from the sales contract (order no. ________) for the following products:

2.3. Product shipment

3. Conditions for returned products
3.1. Required condition
Products must be returned in the condition you received them:
- ✅ Intact seal (unopened)
- ✅ Bottle, labels and original packaging undamaged
- ✅ With all received accessories (if any)
- ✅ In appropriate packaging for safe transport
3.2. IMPORTANT exception for alcoholic beverages
According to art. 16 lit. e) of EGO 34/2014, the right of withdrawal DOES NOT apply to unsealed products that cannot be returned for reasons of hygiene or health protection.
This includes wines and alcoholic beverages once the seal has been broken. Unsealed products CANNOT be returned, except in cases of non-conformity found upon receipt.
3.3. Value reduction through handling
The customer is responsible for any reduction in the value of products resulting from handling beyond what is necessary to determine the nature, characteristics and functioning of the products.
If the product reaches us in an inappropriate condition due to shipping fault or customer handling, we reserve the right to:
- Proportionally reduce the refunded amount
- Refuse the return in serious cases
4. Return costs
4.1. The direct cost of returning products is borne by the customer.
4.2. Exception: Return costs are borne by the Seller if:
- The product is non-conforming
- The product was delivered in error
- The product arrived damaged
4.3. We recommend using a courier service with delivery confirmation, for shipping safety.
5. Refund
5.1. Refund term
We will refund all amounts received, including standard delivery cost, within a maximum of 14 calendar days from the date we receive the returned products or proof of their shipment (whichever is earlier).
5.2. Refund method
The refund is made using the same payment method used for purchase, without additional costs for you, unless you expressly agree to another method.
5.3. Exception regarding additional delivery costs
If you chose a more expensive delivery method than the standard one, we are only obligated to refund the standard delivery value.
5.4. Orders with a discount code
If you used a discount code on your order, the amount actually paid for the returned products is refunded, not their catalogue price.
For a partial return, the discount is recalculated proportionally for the products you keep: in practice, you keep the discount attributable to them.
The SGR deposit is refunded in full, being unaffected by the discount (see Terms and Conditions, 4.7).
6. Damaged or non-conforming products
6.1. Verification at receipt
Please check the integrity of the package and products at the time of delivery, in the presence of the courier.
In case of visible damage:
- Refuse the package or note the damage on the delivery report
- Photograph the products/package
- Contact us within 48 hours: contact@gourmetdivino.com
6.2. Non-conformities discovered later
If the product arrives damaged or does not match the order, contact us as soon as possible, preferably with:
- Photographs of the issue
- Order number
- Description of non-conformity
We will resolve the situation by:
- Replacing the product with a suitable one
- Or full refund of the value, including transport costs
6.3. Legal conformity warranty
According to Romanian Law no. 449/2003, you have the right to the legal warranty of conformity for a period of 2 years. For alcoholic beverages, this applies to manufacturing defects and not to natural organoleptic changes.
7. Exclusions from the right of withdrawal
In addition to unsealed products (see 3.2.), the right of withdrawal DOES NOT apply to:
- Personalized products or products made to customer order
- Products that, by their nature, cannot be returned
