CAVIAR PETROSSIAN will make the reimbursement via the same payment method used by the Customer for the initial transaction, unless the Customer expressly agrees to a different method. Regardless of the circumstances, the Customer will not be charged any additional expense for a change in the refund method.

CAVIAR PETROSSIAN reserves the right to defer reimbursement until the returned goods have been received or, at the very least, has received proof of the dispatch of the goods, whereby the reference date shall be the earlier date of the two.
