The procedure will begin after checking to ensure that the customer's return is in accordance with the Return Policy and that the returned products have been accepted as indicated

In the event that your return does not comply with the terms and conditions set out in General Terms and Conditions of Sale, you will not be entitled to any refund of sums already paid to Big Fish; nevertheless, you shall be entitled, at your own expense, to receive the products in the conditions in which they were sent back to Big Fish. If you do not wish to receive the products in the conditions in which they were sent back to Big Fish, Big Fish shall be entitled to keep the products and withhold the sums already received.

9. Refund Times and Procedures

After the products have been returned, Big Fish shall check the conformity of the products with the conditions indicated in section above.
