Complaints and returns
RETURNS
The primary condition for a seamless exchange or return of products purchased at PATINE is to return them in their original, unchanged condition. The returned goods should be returned to the store in exactly the same condition in which they were delivered.
Therefore, we kindly request that you:
- Try on shoes on a soft surface (carpet, blanket) to avoid scratching the leather sole.
- Avoid bending your foot while trying them on to prevent "creases" on the leather upper.
- Use a shoehorn when putting on the shoes to avoid damaging the heel counter.
- Include the full contents of the packaging (shoes, cotton bag(s), any additional items).
Any signs of wear (scratched sole, creased leather) or incomplete packaging contents may prevent an exchange or a full-value return. Please return the shoes in the same condition you would expect when receiving a new pair.
COTTON BAGS
Not every pair includes the same number of cotton bags, as each brand has its own policy:
- PATINE SHOES - 2 cotton bags for Boots / 1 cotton bag for low shoes
- TLB MALLORCA / TLB ARTISTA - 2 cotton bags for Boots / 2 cotton bags for low shoes
- YANKO - 2 cotton bags for Boots / 1 cotton bag for low shoes
SIZE MARKINGS ON BOXES - 8M TO 8.5
Our brand boxes do not show the traditional marking for half sizes. All you need to know is that "M" represents a half size, so our sizing on boxes appears as follows: 5 - 5M (meaning 5.5) - 6 - 6M - 7 - 7M - 8 - 8M ..., and so on. Therefore, if you ordered a UK size 8.5 on our website and see UK 8M on the box, everything is in perfect order.

Dear Customer,
We care much about your rights, including the right to make a complaint. Below you will find detailed information concerning our liability for the defect of the product sold by us and your rights related to the complaint on the statutory basis - due to the warranty.

The guarantee also defines the scope of your rights each time. Remember that the guarantee entitlement does not affect our liability under the warranty and that the guarantee does not exclude, limit or suspend your rights under the warranty for defects in the item sold
The basis and scope of our liability for product defects under the warranty is determined by the generally applicable provisions of law, in particular the provisions of the Civil Code.
We have an obligation to provide a product without defects. We are responsible, due to the warranty, if the physical defect of the product is found before the expiry of two years from the date of its delivery to the buyer. Important!

The basic rights of the buyer in relation to the complaint of the product |
For sales contracts concluded from December 25, 2014. |
In this case, the rights are, in principle, of an equivalent nature, which means that you have the chance to immediately use both the first and second group of rights: 1) Group: price reduction / refund If the product sold has a defect, you can submit a statement of price reduction or withdrawal from the contract, unless you immediately and without undue inconvenience to you, replace the defective Product with a defect-free one or remove the defect. Important! This limitation does not apply if the product has already been replaced or repaired by us, or if we have not fulfilled the obligation to replace the product with one that is free from defects or to remove the defect. >> If the Customer is a consumer, instead of the removal of a product proposed by us in accordance with the above provisions, request replacement of the product free of defects, or instead of replacing the product, demand removal of the defect, unless it is impossible to bring the product into conformity with the sales agreement or would require excessive costs compared to the proposed method by us. Important! The customer can not withdraw from the contract if the defect is irrelevant. 1) Group: repair / replacement If the product sold has a defect, you can request replacement of the product for one free from defects or removal of the defect. However, we may refuse to comply with your request if it is impossible to bring the defective product into conformity with the contract in the manner you have chosen or would require excessive costs compared to the second possible way to bring it into compliance with the contract. |
Remember that a customer who exercises warranty rights is obliged to deliver a defective product to us at DANIEL GŁOWACKI, DANIEL ZIĘTEK DANBIS SPÓŁKA KOMANDYTOWA Kicko 2E/A, 73-112 STARA DĄBROWA. If, however, due to the type of product or the method of its installation, its delivery would be excessively difficult, the customer is obliged to provide us with the product in the place where the product is located.
We will respond to your complaint promptly, no later than within 14 calendar days from the date of its submission. Important! Failure to respond in the aforementioned period in the event of a demand for repair, replacement or reduction of the price means that we considered the complaint justified.
