We will confirm our acceptance of your order as soon as possible by sending you a communication that confirms that your order has been processed ("Order Acceptance").

The price of the Products you pre-order will be quoted to you at the time you submit your pre-order and will include applicable taxes and shipping costs.

Your normal statutory withdrawal period is 14 days, but we offer you, as a commercial gesture, a 30 days withdrawal period for most Products:
You can withdraw from the contract and return a Product without giving any reason within 30 days from the date of your receipt of such Product (excludes gift cards and digital content). The easiest way to do this is to contact Customer Care in accordance with the instructions listed at https://www.meta.com/help/. Once you have connected with Customer Care, you will be able to attach the cancellation form shown below if you would like to do so. You can also send us an unequivocal statement of your intention to withdraw from the contract by any other means.
Your right of Withdrawal does not apply to any Products for which the law excludes withdrawal rights such as any Products that have been personalized or modified in accordance with your instructions. Should this be the case, these Products are described on the Site to be non-returnable prior to the placement of the order. Your right of withdrawal for gift cards can be found in the Gift Card Terms. Your right of withdrawal for digital content can be found in the Meta Quest Content Refund Policy (“Content Refund Policy”).
The Products should be fully returned in their original packaging with the applicable proof of purchase (i.e. a copy of your receipt) and you will be responsible for the cost of returning the Products to us. In any case, we will also accept the Products without their original packaging. However please note that returning the Products without the original packaging or with significant damage to the packaging could be considered as damage to the Products and may reduce your refund as described below.
If, on return to us, it is reasonably determined that the Products have been used in excess of what is necessary to determine their nature, properties or functions, or if they are damaged or missing components, we may set off any claims for compensation we may have against you against your claim for refund of any payments made. We may therefore reduce the amount of your refund to take account of this use, damage or any missing components. If you return a Product bought as part of a bundle but do not return all of the bundled Products, we will reimburse you for the Product you do return minus the value of the applicable bundle discount.
