6.2. When your order leaves our warehouse, we'll send you a shipment confirmation email with the tracking number and a link to our service provider's website for real-time tracking of your order.
6.3. The Customer is responsible for the accuracy of the address communicated to Mirka for delivery and invoicing purposes and undertakes to indicate any difficulties the carrier may encounter in delivering the order, in particular due to its volume or weight.

In this case, each delivery constitutes a separate delivery contract and the fact that Mirka fails to deliver one or more packages in accordance with these Terms and Conditions or any complaint by the Customer concerning one or more packages does not entitle the Customer to call into question the order as a whole.
7. Right of withdrawal and return policy
7.1. In accordance with regulation 29 of the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013/3134 ("CCRs"), the Customer has a right of withdrawal. The Customer may exercise his/her right of withdrawal, without having to justify his/her/their decision, up to fourteen (14) days from receipt of the item concerned by the Customer or by the third party designated by him/her/them other than the carrier.
If the Customer has ordered several items in a single order, or if the delivery of the items has been made in several parts, the withdrawal period does not begin until the Customer, or the third party designated by the Customer other than the carrier, takes physical possession of the last item or the last part of the delivery.
In accordance with regulation 28 of the CCRs, the right of withdrawal cannot be exercised for orders for the supply of personalised goods or goods made to the Customer's specifications.
7.2. To notify his/her/their decision to withdraw, the Customer must send an unambiguous statement before the expiry of the 14-day period:
o either by email to shop.uk@mirka.com ,
o or by post to Mirka's customer service at:

7.3. In accordance with regulation 38 of the CCRs, the exercise of the right of withdrawal from a main distance contract (i.e. the product purchase contract) automatically terminates any accessory contract (i.e. related options: commercial warranty).
7.4. The Customer will promptly receive an acknowledgement of receipt of his/her/their request for retraction, which will be sent by email. Mirka will arrange collection of the Products and email a UPS label. The Customer will take the parcel containing the Products with the label to a drop-off point of their choice and must do so without undue delay and so that, at the latest, they arrive within fourteen (14) days of communication of the return form.
7.5. We will cover the shipping costs through UPS for items returned to us under your right of withdrawal, and our customer service department will send you a UPS label by e-mail.
No returns will be accepted from outside the mainland United Kingdom (excluding the Scottish Highlands).
7.6. Regardless of the return method, Products must be returned in their original condition and packaging. Any product returned incomplete, used, damaged or soiled, or with all or part of the labels removed or damaged and/or with packaging damaged will not be accepted for return, exchange or refund.
7.7. All accepted returns will result, at the Customer's discretion, in either a credit note or a refund, after verification of the quality and quantity of the returned Products.
Any refund will be made by the same method of payment you used to pay for your Products.
Refund will be made no later than fourteen (14) days following the date on which you received confirmation of acceptance of the return. We will withhold the refund until we have received the returned Products. You should keep a receipt or other evidence from the delivery service that proves you have sent the Products and when you sent them. If you do not do this and we do not receive the Products at all or within a reasonable time, we will not process your refund.
7.8. In the case of orders relating to the provision of a service, in accordance with regulation 36 of the CCRs, the Customer may expressly waive the right of withdrawal if he/she/they requires/require a service to be performed before the end of the period specified in regulation 30(1) of the CCRs. Any service which has begun to be performed can no longer be subject to the right of withdrawal.
8. Transfer of risk
8.1. All risk of loss or damage to the Product is transferred to the Customer at the time the Customer or a third party designated by the Customer takes physical possession of the Product.
It is therefore the Customer's responsibility, upon delivery and before the carrier's departure, to carry out all examinations to detect any damage, shortages, defects or other apparent defects or non-conformity of the Products ordered, and to check the condition of the packaging, the number of packages and the Products delivered in their quantities, references, condition and characteristics.
8.2. If the Customer considers that the Products delivered are not in conformity with the order, in the event of an anomaly concerning the parcel or in the event of a missing or damaged item, the Customer must follow the procedures below in order to submit a complaint:
a) refuse to accept the order or indicate, on the delivery note with the date and his/her/their signature, reservations in a precise and motivated manner;
b) send Mirka their reservations within fourteen (14) days from the date of delivery by email to shop.uk@mirka.com or by the means of the complaint form accessible at www.mirka.com/en-gb/support/returns-process/, specifying the order number concerned and justified by means of photographs of the anomalies noted;
c) specify the desired solution, i.e. return, exchange or refund of the Products concerned.
Non-compliance with the above procedure excludes any recourse against the carrier and Mirka. Any claim not complying with these Terms and Conditions cannot be processed by Mirka.
8.3. In the event of a proven anomaly or if Mirka agrees, on a commercial basis, to take back the Product(s) concerned, Mirka will proceed as soon as possible to cancel the order relating to the damaged or missing Products and to reimburse the amount of the Products concerned and any return costs, in which case no other compensation may be claimed against Mirka.
Any refund will be made by the same method of payment you used to pay for your Products.
8.4. In the absence of reservations or in the event of insufficient information from the Customer, Mirka reserves the right to refuse the request for return or reimbursement of the Products concerned.
Once the Customer has signed the delivery, collection or transport note or accepted the delivery without a signature and without any specific reservations, the carrier and/or Mirka, as the case may be, will not be liable for any damage caused during delivery.
8.5. Notwithstanding the provisions relating to delivery and transfer of risk, Mirka reserves ownership of the Products delivered until full payment of the price, including costs, taxes and compulsory contributions.
9. Legal and commercial warranties

9.1.1. Mirka warrants that all Products sold on the Online Shop are of a satisfactory quality, in accordance with section 9 of the CRA. The Customer may return Products which are not compliant with the provisions of section 9 of the CRA. Returns in these circumstances will be free of charge.
9.1.2. However, Products modified, repaired, integrated or added by the Customer are excluded from the warranty. The warranty will not apply to defects that are apparent, or that the Customer was aware of or could not have been unaware of at the time of ordering, in particular with regard to the information provided by Mirka. Nor will the warranty cover Products damaged after the transfer of risk to the Customer, or as a result of misuse.
9.1.3. Terms and conditions of legal warranties
When the Customer acts under the warranty at Article 9.1.1 above, he/she/they has/have a period of two (2) years from the date of delivery of the item to take action and in accordance with section 19 of the CRA may choose between:
a) a short-term right to reject in accordance with sections 20 to 22 of the CRA;
b) a right to repair or replacement of the item in accordance with section 22 of the CRA; or
c) a right to a price reduction or the final right to reject in accordance with section 24 of the CRA.
The Customer is exempted from proving that the lack of conformity of the Product concerned was caused by Mirka.
The legal warranty of satisfactory quality applies independently of any other warranty that may have been granted by Mirka.
These provisions are not exclusive of the right of withdrawal defined in Article 8 above.
9.2. Commercial warranty
9.2.1. Products sold by Mirka are guaranteed for two (2) years from the date of purchase. To obtain an additional year (1) of warranty, register your Product within 30 days of purchase.

If a Product encounters a problem covered by the terms of the warranty and this problem is due to a manufacturing or material defect, Mirka will repair it free of charge, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the warranty defined here.

Mirka's warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship.
