If the price of the product requested in exchange is different from that originally purchased, the Customer must return the product according to the return procedure described above to receive a refund and make a new purchase.
Furthermore, if the Customer opts for a return with exchange but fails to return the product within fourteen (14) days from the date of withdrawal, the exchange option may no longer be available, in which case, FENDI will proceed with a refund of the amount paid by the Customer.
