4 | Refund Amounts

4.1 Return in original, unused condition

If the returned item arrives in original, unused condition, you will receive a refund of the product price.

For Norway, Switzerland & the UK, the €150 return shipping fee applies and will be deducted from the refund (or paid prior to collection if agreed).

4.2 Damage during return transit due to inadequate packaging or mishandling

If the product is damaged during return shipment due to inadequate packaging or mishandling, the refund may be reduced to reflect the loss in value.

In such cases, OAKO may apply a deduction and refund an amount up to 85% of the purchase price, depending on inspection.

4.3 Used / assembled / marked products

Products showing assembly marks, wear, scratches, or misuse are not eligible for a refund.

Cancellations become valid only after written confirmation from OAKO Denmark.

OAKO reserves the right to decline cancellation for custom-made and personalised orders if production or final packaging has begun, even if the order has not yet been dispatched.

Once an order has been dispatched, cancellation is no longer possible.

After dispatch: If you wish to withdraw from the purchase, the order must be received and returned under this Return Policy.

If a shipment is returned to OAKO due to refusal, the refund may be reduced by all outbound and return shipping charges incurred.

7 | Legal Framework

This policy is prepared in accordance with Danish consumer law and the EU Consumer Rights Directive (2011/83/EU), including provisions that allow:

  • reasonable return conditions and safe handling requirements for large or fragile goods,
  • deduction of loss in value caused by handling beyond what is necessary to verify the product, and
  • exclusion of custom-made / made-to-order products from the right of withdrawal.

Mandatory consumer rights in the customer’s country of residence remain unaffected.

By placing an order with OAKO Denmark, the customer acknowledges and accepts these terms.
