This form is provided in compliance with mandatory pre-contract information requirements under EU and UK consumer protection law. Consumers who prefer to exercise the right of withdrawal without using this form may do so through any clear, unequivocal written statement — including an email to withdrawals@aqnova.co — communicated within the applicable withdrawal period.
IMPORTANT: This document covers the right of withdrawal / cancellation — the right to return goods purchased at a distance without giving any reason, within the statutory period. It is separate from AqNova's returns policy for defective or misdescribed goods. If your item is faulty, damaged, or not as described, please contact buyers@aqnova.co — additional rights apply independently of this withdrawal right.
| Before You Complete This Form — Please Read The right of withdrawal allows you to cancel a purchase without giving any reason. You must exercise this right within the statutory period from the date you received your order. The right of withdrawal does NOT apply to all products. Exceptions include (see Part C.3): — Perishable goods (food, fresh flowers) — Sealed goods opened after delivery (hygiene / health reasons) — Custom-made or personalized products — Digital content downloaded with your consent — Goods you have begun using that cannot be returned in original condition If your item arrived damaged, faulty, or not as described, you have ADDITIONAL rights under consumer guarantee law — contact buyers@aqnova.co for those cases. |

Your rights by jurisdiction — all countries where AqNova operates
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
The following table summarizes the key right of withdrawal / cooling-off / cancellation rights available to consumers purchasing from AqNova in major operating jurisdictions. These rights are statutory minimums — they apply regardless of any Vendor's individual return policy. Nothing in AqNova's Platform Terms or any Vendor's listing may reduce or exclude these rights.
| Jurisdiction | Withdrawal / Cancellation Right at a Glance |
|---|---|
| European Union (all 27 member states) | 14 calendar days from day after receiving goods — unconditional right of withdrawal under EU Consumer Rights Directive (2011/83/EU). No reason required. Full refund including standard delivery costs within 14 days of receiving goods or proof of return. |
| United Kingdom | 14 calendar days from day after receiving goods — cancellation right under Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 (SI 2013/3134). UK Consumer Rights Act 2015 additionally provides: 30-day right to reject faulty goods; 6-month right to repair/replace. |

EU consumers have an unconditional 14-calendar-day right of withdrawal from any distance sale contract — including all AqNova purchases — under the EU Consumer Rights Directive (2011/83/EU) as transposed into the national law of each EU member state. "Distance contract" means any contract concluded without the simultaneous physical presence of the trader and the consumer.
When Does the Withdrawal Period Begin?
| Type of Purchase | Withdrawal Period Start Date |
|---|---|
| Single item delivery | Day after the day on which you (or a third party you nominated, other than the carrier) acquire physical possession of the goods. |
| Multiple items in one order, delivered separately | Day after the day on which you acquire physical possession of the last item. |
| Regular delivery of goods over a defined period | Day after the day on which you acquire physical possession of the first goods in the series. |
| Service contracts (where offered) | Day after the date the contract is concluded. |
| Combination of goods and services | Day after the day on which you acquire physical possession of the goods. |
Extended Withdrawal Period — When AqNova Fails to Inform You
If AqNova or a Vendor fails to provide the required pre-contract information about the right of withdrawal before you place your order, the withdrawal period is extended to 12 months from the end of the initial 14-day period. If the information is subsequently provided during that 12-month period, the withdrawal period expires 14 days after you receive the information.
To exercise your right of withdrawal, you must inform AqNova of your decision to withdraw from the contract before the withdrawal period expires. You may do this by:
Completing and submitting Part A of this form online at aqnova.co/returns/withdrawal — the fastest method; confirmation is immediate.
Emailing the completed Part A form (or any clear statement of your decision to withdraw) to withdrawals@aqnova.co.
Printing and posting the completed Part A form to: AqNova Returns Team, C/O Arivon Holding Corporation, 2571 Saturn Avenue, Unit #265, Huntington Park, CA 90255, USA.
It is sufficient to dispatch your notification before the withdrawal period expires. You do not need to receive AqNova's acknowledgment before the deadline — the date of sending is what counts. AqNova will send an acknowledgment of receipt promptly upon receiving your withdrawal notice.
After communicating your withdrawal, you must return the goods to the Vendor within 14 calendar days of the date of withdrawal notification. AqNova will provide return instructions and a return shipping label in the acknowledgment email following your withdrawal notification. You bear the direct cost of returning the goods unless:
The Vendor has agreed to bear the return costs (as stated in the product listing).
The Vendor failed to inform you that you would bear the return costs (in which case the Vendor bears all return costs).
The goods are faulty, damaged, or not as described (in which case the Vendor bears all return costs under separate statutory guarantee rights).
AqNova will process your refund within 14 calendar days of either: (a) receiving the returned goods; or (b) receiving evidence that you have dispatched the goods — whichever is earlier. The refund will cover:
The full purchase price of the goods.
The standard delivery cost of the original order (AqNova will not refund any premium paid for express or same-day delivery).
The refund will be issued using the same payment method used for the original purchase unless you have expressly agreed to a different method and you will not incur any fees as a result. AqNova may withhold refund until it has received the goods or evidence of return.
AqNova or the Vendor may deduct from your refund an amount representing any diminished value of the goods resulting from handling beyond what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics, and functioning of the goods. You are only responsible for diminished value if you have handled the goods in a manner that would not be permitted in a physical store — for example, wearing apparel for extended periods, using cosmetics, or significantly assembling furniture.
Examining the goods in the way you would be permitted to examine them in a physical shop — removing packaging, trying on clothing briefly, inspecting the product's features — does not constitute handling beyond what is necessary and will not result in a deduction.
The right of withdrawal / cancellation does not apply to all products or services. The following exceptions apply under EU law (Article 16, CRD) and are reflected in AqNova's Platform policies. Equivalent exceptions apply in most other jurisdictions with withdrawal rights. Products to which exceptions apply are clearly labeled as "Non-Returnable" or "Withdrawal Exception Applies" on their product listing pages.
| Exception Category | Description & Conditions |
|---|---|
| Perishable Goods | Goods that may deteriorate or expire rapidly — including food products, fresh flowers, and other time-sensitive consumables. Cannot be returned under the right of withdrawal. Note: statutory guarantee rights for non-conforming goods remain applicable. |
| Sealed Hygiene / Health Goods | Goods sealed for health protection or hygiene reasons that are not suitable for return after the seal has been broken. Includes: underwear, swimwear, earrings, cosmetics, skincare products, and medical devices. Exception applies only where seal has actually been broken. |
| Custom-Made & Personalized Goods | Goods made to the consumer's specifications or clearly personalized — including: custom engraving; made-to-measure items; personalized gifts; custom blend products; and any product modified per the consumer's specific instructions. |
| Sealed Audio, Video & Software | Sealed audiovisual or computer software where the seal has been broken after delivery. Applies to physical media such as DVDs, CDs, and sealed software packages. |
| Digital Content (Immediate Download) | Digital content not supplied on a tangible medium (downloads, streaming licenses, digital codes) where: (a) the consumer gave prior express consent to performance before the withdrawal period expired; AND (b) the consumer acknowledged the loss of the right of withdrawal. Both conditions must be met for this exception to apply. |
| Goods Inseparably Mixed After Delivery | Goods that, after delivery, are by their nature inseparably mixed with other items — for example, a wine kit that has been opened and mixed. |
| Newspapers, Periodicals & Magazines | Newspapers, periodicals, or magazines, except for subscription contracts. |
| Accommodation, Transport & Events (Time-Specific) | Services linked to accommodation, transport, car rental, catering, or leisure activities where a specific date or period of performance is provided. Not applicable to standard AqNova product purchases. |
| Urgent Repair or Maintenance | Contracts for repair or maintenance that the consumer has specifically requested and the trader has made an emergency visit for. |
| Completed Service Contracts | Services fully performed within the withdrawal period with the consumer's prior express consent and acknowledgment that the right of withdrawal is lost upon full performance. |
| IMPORTANT — Non-Returnable Product Labeling All products to which a withdrawal exception applies are labeled on their AqNova listing with a 'Non-Returnable' or 'Cancellation Exception Applies' badge BEFORE purchase. If a product is not labeled as non-returnable, the right of withdrawal or cancellation applies. If you believe a product was incorrectly labeled as non-returnable, contact buyers@aqnova.co. Mislabeling does not extinguish your statutory rights. |

UK consumers purchasing from AqNova have a 14-calendar-day right to cancel any distance contract without giving any reason, under the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013 (SI 2013/3134). These Regulations were derived from the EU Consumer Rights Directive and continue to apply as retained UK law following Brexit, with modifications introduced by the UK Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers Act 2024.
The 14-day cancellation period begins on the day after you receive the goods (or the last item, for multiple deliveries). You must communicate your cancellation within this period, but you then have a further 14 days from cancellation to return the goods.
In addition to the 14-day cancellation right, UK consumers benefit from the following statutory rights under the Consumer Rights Act 2015, which are independent of and additional to the right of cancellation:
30-day short-term right to reject: If goods are faulty, not as described, or not fit for purpose, you have a 30-day right to reject them and receive a full refund.
Right to repair or replacement (30 days to 6 months): After 30 days but within 6 months of delivery, you are entitled to one repair or replacement attempt. If this fails, you may claim a full or partial refund.
Final right to reject (6 months to 6 years): Beyond 6 months, you must show the fault existed at delivery. If proven, you may claim a repair, replacement, or price reduction. The right to reject (full refund with possible deduction for use) may also be available.
These rights are against the Vendor, exercised through AqNova's dispute resolution process. AqNova's Buyer Protection Program (Section 2.1) provides additional coverage where vendors fail to honor statutory obligations.
While there is no federal statutory model cancellation form for Canada equivalent to the EU or UK forms, AqNova provides Canadian consumers with a standard cancellation request form consistent with the requirements of applicable provincial consumer protection legislation. Canadian consumers may submit their cancellation request using either the EU/UK forms in Parts A and B above, or the following simplified form:
| CANADIAN CONSUMER CANCELLATION NOTICE For internet agreement cancellations under applicable provincial consumer protection law To: AqNova Marketplace — withdrawals@aqnova.co I hereby give notice that I am cancelling the following internet agreement pursuant to the applicable provincial consumer protection legislation of my province of residence: Order Number / Reference: Description of goods: Date of purchase: Date received (if applicable): My province of residence: (Ontario / Quebec / British Columbia / Alberta / Other) Full name: Mailing address: Email address: Date of this notice: Ontario residents: Consumer Protection Act, 2002, s. 44 — 10-day cancellation period.

Brazilian consumers have a statutory 7-calendar-day unconditional right of regret (Direito de Arrependimento) under Article 49 of the Codigo de Defesa do Consumidor (CDC — Lei 8.078/1990) for all purchases made outside a physical store — including all AqNova online purchases. This right begins from the moment of the purchase or the date of receipt of the product or service, whichever is later.

Below is AqNova's complete withdrawal / cancellation processing workflow. All timelines comply with applicable statutory minimums for each jurisdiction.
| Step | Action & Timeline |
|---|---|
| Step 1 — Choose your submission method | ONLINE PORTAL (fastest): Log in to aqnova.co/returns/withdrawal, find your order, and click 'Request Withdrawal' — follow the on-screen instructions. Confirmation is immediate. EMAIL: Email withdrawals@aqnova.co with the completed form from Part A, B, C, or any clear written statement of your withdrawal decision. Include your order number. PAPER POST: Print and complete the form, sign it, and mail to: AqNova Returns Team, C/O Arivon Holding Corporation, 2571 Saturn Avenue, Unit #265, Huntington Park, CA 90255, USA. Post before the withdrawal deadline. |
| Step 2 — AqNova Acknowledgement | AqNova will send an acknowledgment email within 24 hours of receiving your withdrawal notice (or immediately for online portal submissions). The acknowledgment will include: confirmation your withdrawal notice was received; the date it was received (important for statutory deadlines); return instructions; a prepaid return label (where AqNova bears return costs); and the estimated refund timeline. |
| Step 3 — Return the Goods | Return goods within 14 calendar days of the date you sent your withdrawal notice (EU/UK) or within the equivalent period under your jurisdiction's law. Use the return label or instructions provided by AqNova. Retain your proof of posting/dispatch — this is your evidence that you returned within the required period. Goods must be returned in original condition with all components, accessories, and original packaging where reasonably possible. |
| Step 4 — Refund Processing | EU / UK: Refund processed within 14 calendar days of AqNova receiving returned goods, or 14 days from receipt of evidence of return (proof of dispatch), whichever is earlier. Brazil: Within 10 business days of receiving returned goods. Argentina: Within 10 days of receiving returned goods. Korea: Within 3 business days of receiving returned goods. All other jurisdictions: Within 14 business days of receiving returned goods, or as required by applicable law. Refund issued to original payment method. AqNova will confirm the refund by email. |
When exercising your withdrawal right, please return:
The product(s) being returned — in the condition in which they were received, or as reasonably handled to assess suitability.
All components, accessories, cables, manuals, and free gifts included with the product.
Original manufacturer packaging — where this can be reasonably preserved. AqNova will not refuse a return solely because original outer packaging has been opened or discarded.
Any labels, tags, or stickers — where these are part of the product's original condition (e.g., garment tags). Note: removing tags from apparel you are otherwise returning is not grounds for refusing the withdrawal right.
You are not required to return original outer AqNova or carrier packaging. If original product packaging cannot be returned (for example, where it was destroyed on opening), AqNova will not refuse your withdrawal — but a deduction from your refund for diminished value may be applied in accordance with applicable law.
| Payment Method | Expected Refund Settlement |
|---|---|
| Credit Card (Visa, Mastercard, Amex) | 5–10 business days from refund initiation, subject to card issuer processing. AqNova initiates the refund within the statutory deadline. |
| Debit Card | 3–7 business days from refund initiation. |
| PayPal / Digital Wallets | 1–3 business days from refund initiation. |
| Bank Transfer (Wire) | 5–10 business days from refund initiation. International transfers may take longer. |
| AqNova Platform Credit (if elected) | Credited within 24 hours. Note: refunds to Platform Credit are at your election — AqNova's default is to refund to original payment method. |
| Mobile Money (Africa: M-Pesa, MTN MoMo, etc.) | 1–5 business days from refund initiation. |
| PIX (Brazil) | 1–2 business days from refund initiation. |
| UPI / Net Banking (India) | 3–7 business days from refund initiation. |
You may exercise your withdrawal right for one or more items in an order without returning all items. For a partial withdrawal:
Complete the withdrawal form indicating the specific items you wish to withdraw (including the product name, description, and quantity for each item).
AqNova will issue a partial refund covering the purchase price of the withdrawn items plus a proportionate share of the original standard delivery cost (unless the remaining items qualify for free delivery, in which case the full delivery cost will be refunded for the returned items).
AqNova will provide a return label for the specific items being returned.
If you believe AqNova or a Vendor has wrongly refused your withdrawal, misapplied an exception, or failed to process your refund within the applicable statutory timeframe, you have the following escalation options:
Step 1: Contact AqNova's Buyer Resolution team at buyers@aqnova.co with your order number, withdrawal confirmation email, and a description of the issue. AqNova will respond within 5 business days.
Step 2: Submit a formal complaint through the Platform's complaint portal at aqnova.co/complaints. AqNova will issue a final decision within 15 business days.
Step 3 — EU consumers: Access the European Online Dispute Resolution (ODR) platform at ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr. AqNova participates in ODR proceedings.
Step 3 — UK consumers: Escalate to AqNova's designated ADR body [to be designated] or contact Citizens Advice at citizensadvice.org.uk.
Step 3 — All other jurisdictions: Contact the applicable national consumer protection authority listed in Section C.1 of this document.

This form and the rights described herein are provided pursuant to mandatory consumer protection law. Nothing in AqNova's Platform Terms, Vendor Agreements, or any other contractual document may reduce, limit, or exclude the rights described in this document for consumers in the relevant jurisdictions. Where AqNova's Platform policies provide broader consumer protections than applicable local law requires, those broader protections apply in addition to statutory rights.
Consumers are advised that this document sets out statutory minimum rights. Individual Vendor return policies on AqNova may provide additional protections — check the Vendor's listing for their specific return policy. Platform minimum standards require all Vendor policies to meet or exceed these statutory rights.
