(I) within 30 (thirty) days of receipt of the Products, the Client shall contact a Gucci Client Advisor ;

To return the Products, the Client shall contact the carrier at the number located on the return request email or in the return thank you page that appears when the Client completes the online return process. The Client can also arrange pickup by visiting “MyDHL+” at the following link https://mydhl.express.dhl. Save as otherwise stated on the Website, delivery costs for returning the Product shall be borne by the Client.
12.2 The Products shall be returned in their original condition, unaltered, unused, undamaged and with original tags and labels attached. In the event of any diminished value of the Products resulting from the handling of the goods by the Client other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods, Gucci reserves the right to refuse the exchange of the Products. The Client shall only be liable for any diminished value of the Products resulting from the handling of the goods other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.

In particular, if the Products that the Client wishes to exchange have been initially paid by credit card, Gucci will first refund the price initially paid by the Client and then will charge the price of the new requested Products pursuant to Section 6.3 above. If the initial payment was made by bank transfer and the price of the new requested Products is the same as the price paid by the Client for the Products he/she wishes to exchange, Gucci will withhold the initial sum paid by the Client; if the price is different, Gucci will refund - or request the Client to pay - the difference, as the case may be.
