Important for returns from territories subject to customs procedures, such as the Canary Islands, the United Kingdom, or other countries outside the customs territory of the European Union:
The shipment must be correctly declared as return of goods / “returned goods”, indicating that these are previously purchased products being returned to the seller and that, therefore, this is not a new sale or a commercial import.
The customer is responsible for correctly completing the necessary documentation to ensure that the return does not incur taxes, duties, import charges, or customs handling fees for ROOTS BAREFOOT SL.
Any return that incurs customs charges, taxes, duties, or handling fees payable by ROOTS BAREFOOT SL may be rejected and returned to the sender.

ROOTS BAREFOOT SL has up to 14 calendar days to issue the refund in accordance with the applicable conditions.
2.5 Clarification on refunds with discounts applied
Refunds will always be based on the amount paid by the customer, not the original product price.
If the product was purchased with a discount, promotional code, or during a sale, the refund amount will be exactly what the customer paid for the order.
2.6 Returns due to a manufacturing or handling error:
- If the return is due to a defect in the product or an error in shipping by Roots Barefoot, we will cover the return costs in full, provided the product has not been used.

2.9 Policy on exchanges/returns for discounted items
Products in this category include clearance items, last sizes, or products with a discount of 30% or more. Due to the nature of these products (limited stock and no restocking), the following specific terms apply:
- Under no circumstances will refunds be issued to the original payment method.
- The customer may request a size exchange, subject to stock availability in the same model. As these are the last units, availability for exchanges is not guaranteed.
- If the requested size is unavailable for exchange, or if the customer prefers, they may request a return as store credit, with no expiration date.
- Both exchanges and returns for store credit will be processed at no additional cost to the customer.
- These special terms apply exclusively to products identified as:
- Last sizes
- Clearance products
- Products with a discount of ≥ 30%
2.10 Refunds after using store credit
When a customer chooses to receive a refund as store credit, they agree that the refund amount will be converted into credit for future purchases. This credit may include more favorable terms, such as faster refunds or additional benefits.
Once this method has been selected, any subsequent returns of products purchased using that credit will again be processed as store credit. A refund to the original payment method will not be possible.
This measure is intended to ensure fair use of the exchanges and returns system, preventing repeated use that would allow products to be used at no cost.
By purchasing any of these products, the customer expressly accepts these terms.
