Exchange & Returns Policy

At Zeemed Instruments LDA, we want you to be completely satisfied with your purchase. We carefully inspect and package our medical scissors and instruments before dispatch. However, if you receive an incorrect, damaged, defective, or otherwise non-conforming product, we are here to help.

This Exchange & Returns Policy applies to purchases made through the Zeemed Instruments LDA online store and is intended to operate in accordance with applicable Portuguese and European Union consumer-protection legislation.

1. Right of Withdrawal for Online Purchases

If you are a consumer purchasing products online, you generally have a legal right to withdraw from the purchase within 14 days, without having to provide a reason, subject to the exceptions provided by applicable law.

The withdrawal period normally begins when you, or a person designated by you other than the carrier, receives the product.

To exercise your right of withdrawal, you must notify Zeemed Instruments LDA of your decision before the applicable withdrawal period expires.

You may contact us using the contact details provided at the end of this policy.

2. How to Request a Return

To request a return, please contact us before sending the product back.

Please provide:

  • Your full name
  • Order number
  • Date of purchase
  • Product name
  • Reason for the return, where applicable
  • Photographs, if the product is damaged or defective

Our customer-service team will provide the appropriate return instructions.

Please do not send products to an address that has not been confirmed by Zeemed Instruments LDA.

3. Condition of Returned Products

For a voluntary return under the statutory withdrawal right, products should be returned in the condition required by applicable law.

We ask customers to:

  • Keep the product unused where possible
  • Return the product with its original packaging where reasonably possible
  • Include all accessories and documentation supplied with the product
  • Avoid unnecessary handling or damage
  • Package the product securely to prevent damage during transportation

A consumer may be responsible for a reduction in the value of goods resulting from handling beyond what is necessary to establish their nature, characteristics, and functioning, where permitted by law.

4. Medical and Hygiene-Sensitive Products

Because Zeemed Instruments LDA supplies medical scissors and professional medical instruments, hygiene and safety are particularly important.

Certain products may not be eligible for withdrawal after opening where the applicable legal exception for sealed goods that are unsuitable for return for health-protection or hygiene reasons applies.

Where this exception applies, the product must remain sealed and unused for the withdrawal right to be preserved.

This does not affect your statutory rights concerning products that are defective, damaged, incorrectly supplied, or not in conformity with the contract.

5. Exchanges

If you would like to exchange a product for another model, size, finish, or variation, please contact us before returning the product.

An exchange may be possible where:

  • The requested replacement is available
  • The product is eligible for return
  • The product has not been used or damaged
  • Any applicable legal requirements have been satisfied

For products that are defective or incorrectly supplied, Zeemed Instruments LDA will provide the remedy required by applicable law.

For a simple change of preference, the exchange may be handled as a return followed by a new order, depending on product availability and the circumstances of the request.

6. Incorrect Product Received

If you receive a product that is different from the product you ordered, please contact us as soon as possible.

Please provide your order number and photographs of the product and packaging where possible.

After verification, we will arrange an appropriate solution, which may include:

  • Replacement with the correct product
  • Return of the incorrect product
  • Refund
  • Another remedy required by applicable law

You should not be required to bear costs resulting from our error.

7. Damaged Products on Delivery

If your order arrives visibly damaged, please inspect the package as soon as possible.

If the product has been damaged during transportation, contact Zeemed Instruments LDA promptly and provide photographs of:

  • The external packaging
  • Shipping label
  • Internal packaging
  • Damaged product
  • Any visible damage

We will investigate the matter with the relevant delivery service and provide an appropriate solution in accordance with applicable law.

8. Defective or Non-Conforming Products

If a medical instrument or other product purchased from us is defective or does not conform to the contract, please contact us.

Depending on the circumstances and your applicable legal rights, you may be entitled to remedies such as:

  • Repair
  • Replacement
  • Price reduction
  • Refund
  • Another remedy provided by applicable law

We may request photographs, videos, product information, or other reasonable evidence to help us assess the issue.

Nothing in this policy limits mandatory statutory consumer rights.

9. Normal Wear and Tear

Returns or warranty claims do not generally cover damage caused by circumstances such as:

  • Normal wear and tear
  • Incorrect use
  • Improper handling
  • Improper cleaning
  • Improper disinfection
  • Improper sterilization
  • Corrosion caused by unsuitable chemicals or environmental conditions
  • Accidental damage
  • Unauthorized modifications
  • Use outside the product’s intended purpose
  • Failure to follow applicable care or maintenance instructions

Where a product is supplied with specific care or maintenance instructions, customers should follow those instructions carefully.

10. Return Shipping Costs

Where you exercise a statutory right of withdrawal, the allocation of return-shipping costs will be handled in accordance with applicable Portuguese and EU law and the information provided to you before purchase.

Where a product is defective, incorrect, damaged due to our handling, or otherwise requires a remedy for which Zeemed Instruments LDA is legally responsible, we will handle the applicable costs in accordance with the law.

11. Refunds

Where a refund is legally due, Zeemed Instruments LDA will process the refund using the original payment method where possible.

For a statutory withdrawal, applicable law determines when the refund must be made and the circumstances in which reimbursement may be withheld until the goods have been received back or the customer has provided evidence of return.

Depending on the applicable circumstances, original standard delivery costs may also be refundable as required by law.

Additional delivery costs resulting from a customer’s choice of a more expensive delivery option may not necessarily be refundable.

12. Return Inspection

Returned products may be inspected after receipt to verify their condition and the reason for the return.

Where a product is returned because it is defective, damaged, incorrect, or non-conforming, our team may assess the product to determine the appropriate remedy.

Inspection does not remove or restrict any mandatory rights available to consumers under applicable Portuguese or EU law.

13. Business and Wholesale Customers

Different return and exchange arrangements may apply to business customers, distributors, clinics, hospitals, medical professionals, and wholesale customers.

Business-to-business orders may be subject to specific commercial terms agreed between Zeemed Instruments LDA and the customer.

If you are purchasing products for professional or business purposes, please contact us before placing a large or customized order if you require specific return or exchange conditions.

14. Customized or Special Orders

Products specially manufactured, customized, engraved, configured, or ordered according to a customer’s specific requirements may be subject to different return conditions where permitted by applicable law.

Before placing a customized order, customers should carefully verify the requested specifications.

Any mandatory statutory rights concerning defective or non-conforming products remain unaffected.

15. Products Purchased as Part of a Set or Bundle

Where a product is sold as part of a set, bundle, or promotional package, the return of individual items may be subject to specific conditions.

Please contact us before returning any item from a bundle so that we can provide the correct instructions.

16. Return Address

Returns should only be sent to the address provided by Zeemed Instruments LDA after your return request has been reviewed.

Return Address:
Zeemed Instruments LDA
R. Braamcamp 52, 1250-048 Lisboa Portugal

Please do not send returns to our registered office unless we specifically instruct you to do so.

17. How Long Does a Return Take?

Once we receive your returned product, we will inspect it where necessary and process the return, replacement, or refund as quickly as reasonably possible.

The exact processing time may depend on:

  • The reason for the return
  • Product condition
  • Availability of replacement products
  • Payment method
  • Delivery and return times
  • Any investigation required for defective products

Statutory deadlines applicable to consumer refunds and remedies will always take precedence over any estimated processing time stated on this page.
