Right of withdrawal
Herroepingsrecht
You have 14 days to change your mind, counted from the day after delivery, without giving a reason.
One exception applies on this site, and it applies to most of what we sell: sealed hosiery, once the seal is open.
Last updated 15 August 2026
01The withdrawal period
The period is 14 days. It begins on the day after you, or a third party you named who is not the carrier, takes physical possession of the goods.
Where an order is delivered in several parcels, the period begins on the day after the last item arrives.
To meet the deadline it is enough that you send your statement before the period expires. You do not have to have returned the goods by then.
If we fail to tell you
If we had not informed you of this right, the period would be extended by twelve months. This page, the checkout page and the order confirmation email each carry the notice, so that extension does not arise here.
02The sealed-hosiery exception
Stated in three places
Whether an item is delivered sealed is stated on the product page, repeated on every cart line, and confirmed by you at checkout before payment.
Hosiery is worn against the skin. Where an item is supplied sealed for reasons of hygiene, the right of withdrawal does not apply to it once the seal has been opened. That is the exception in Article 6:230p of the Dutch Civil Code.
What you can still do before opening
- Hold the sealed pack against your leg.
- Check the size chart against the pack markings.
- Compare the denier and the composition label against the product page.
Once the seal is open, the exception applies. If a sealed item arrives with the seal already broken, that is not your doing — contact us and we will treat it as a faulty delivery.
Items that are not sealed
Where an item is not delivered sealed, the full 14-day right applies without qualification. The product page says which is which.
03How to withdraw
Tell us clearly, before the period expires. Any of these is enough:
- Email support@harcosocks.pics with your order reference.
- Call +31 13 5340553.
- Use the contact form.
- Complete and send the model form below. You are not obliged to use it.
We confirm receipt of your withdrawal without delay, in writing, so you have a record of the date.
04Sending the goods back
Send the goods back without undue delay and no later than fourteen days after telling us you are withdrawing.
Who pays the return postage
You pay the direct cost of returning the goods. This is stated here before you buy, as it must be. If we had not told you, we would have to bear that cost ourselves.
Where a return is because the item is faulty or not what you ordered, we pay the return cost. Contact us first and we will arrange it.
Handling
You may handle the goods as you would in a shop — enough to establish their nature, characteristics and functioning. You are liable for any reduction in value beyond that.
05What we refund, and when
We refund all payments received from you, including the standard delivery cost, no later than fourteen days after the day we are informed of your withdrawal.
- Standard delivery is refunded. If you chose a more expensive delivery option than our standard one, we refund the standard cost, not the upgrade.
- Return postage is not refunded unless the return is because of a fault or an error on our side.
- We may withhold the refund until we have the goods back, or until you have supplied evidence of sending them, whichever is the earlier.
Refunds are made using the same means of payment you used, in US dollars, unless you expressly agree otherwise. You will not incur any fee from us for the refund. Your bank or card issuer may take a few working days to show it.
06Model withdrawal form
You are not obliged to use this form, but it is here if you want it. It is also included in your order confirmation email.
