EU Returns & Refunds Policy
Last updated: January 2026
This Returns & Refunds Policy applies to customers located in the European Union (EU) and is written in accordance with EU consumer protection laws, while also reflecting the made-to-order nature of products sold on ortolanaa.store.
Ortolanaa.store operates using print-on-demand fulfillment partners, primarily Printful and Wooacry. All physical products are custom-made after an order is placed.
Made-to-Order & EU Right of Withdrawal

-
The EU right of withdrawal does not apply to our products
-
We do not accept returns or exchanges for change of mind, wrong size selection, or personal preference
