Refund Policy · Startoner

At Startoner we want your purchase to be perfect. If for any reason you're not satisfied, you have two routes to return the product: your statutory right to withdraw and our extended 30-day commercial policy.

1. Your right to withdraw / cancel (14 calendar days)

Under Article 102 of the Spanish Consumer Protection Act (LGDCU) and Article 9 of the EU Consumer Rights Directive 2011/83, you have the right to cancel within 14 calendar days from receipt of the goods, without giving any reason.

To exercise the right, simply notify us by e-mail (info@star-toner.com), phone (+34 651 78 80 90) or using the model cancellation form below.

2. Extended commercial policy (30 days)

As an additional commitment, Startoner extends the statutory period to 30 calendar days. That means even after the 14 statutory days have passed, you can still return the product for a further 16 days under the same conditions, provided the item is in its original state.

3. Condition of the product

For the return to be accepted, the product must:

  • Keep its original packaging and seals intact.
  • Show no signs of use or installation.
  • Include the original invoice or delivery note.

4. Exceptions to the right to cancel

Under Article 103 LGDCU / Article 16 of Directive 2011/83, the right to cancel does not apply where:

  • Goods that are sealed for health protection or hygiene reasons have been unsealed after delivery (toner and ink cartridges with broken vacuum seal, by analogy).
  • Goods are made to your specifications or clearly personalised: special bespoke orders.

5. Return windows and costs

  • You have 14 calendar days from notifying us of cancellation to send the goods back (Art. 108 LGDCU).
  • If the return is due to our mistake (defective, wrong or transit-damaged product), Startoner covers all shipping and collection costs.
  • If the return is due to change of mind (cancellation without defect), the direct costs of return are at your charge. Indicative estimate: 4-9 € depending on weight and carrier; on request we provide a prepaid label and deduct the cost from your refund.

6. Refund

Under Article 76 LGDCU / Article 13 Directive 2011/83, we will refund all payments received (including initial delivery costs, except supplementary costs arising from your choice of a delivery type other than the cheapest standard delivery) without undue delay and at the latest within 14 calendar days from the day we receive notice of your cancellation.

We may withhold the refund until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent the goods back, whichever is the earliest (Art. 76.1 LGDCU).

The refund will be made using the same payment method you used for the original transaction, unless you expressly agree otherwise.

7. Statutory rights and consumer guarantees

Independent of the right to cancel, all our products carry the statutory guarantee of conformity of Articles 114 to 120 LGDCU (Royal Decree-Law 7/2021, transposing Directive (EU) 2019/771): goods must match the description, be fit for purpose and be of the expected quality. The conformity guarantee runs for 3 years from delivery, and Article 117 LGDCU entitles you to repair, replacement, a price reduction or termination of the contract. If you live in another EU country you keep the mandatory guarantee rights of your own country, which are never below the two-year minimum of Directive (EU) 2019/771.

8. How to start the process

  1. Send an email to info@star-toner.com with the subject "Withdrawal · Order no. ___" or use the form in section 1.
  2. You'll receive shipping instructions and, if applicable, a prepaid label within 24 working hours.
  3. We process the refund within the statutory 14-day window.

9. Dispute resolution

If you're not satisfied with our resolution, you can turn to:

  • Andalusia Consumer Arbitration Board (Junta Arbitral de Consumo de Andalucía): Startoner undertakes to take part in the arbitration procedure whenever it is started by the consumer.
  • European Consumer Centre (ECC-Net) for cross-border purchases within the EU: www.eccnet.eu · in Spain, cec.consumo.gob.es. The European Online Dispute Resolution (ODR) platform was discontinued on 20 July 2025; the list of accredited alternative dispute resolution bodies is published at consumer-redress.ec.europa.eu.
