ARTICLE 7 – RIGHT OF WITHDRAWAL

The Customer has a legal period of 14 clear days as of the date of receipt of the products to exercise their right of withdrawal, without having to provide a reason or pay any penalty. The withdrawal period expires fourteen days after the day on which the Customer, or a third party other than the carrier and designated by the Customer, physically takes possession of the products.

The products must be unused, in perfect condition suitable for resale, and must be returned in their original packaging.

To exercise their right of withdrawal, Customers may contact us via our contact form, selecting the subject: "I want to return my product within 14 days". The Customer may also notify their withdrawal decision by means of a clearly worded statement (for example, a letter sent by post or an email) specifying the reference number of the order, their contact details, and their return request. Regardless of the means of withdrawal used, the Seller will send them a return slip by email, to be printed. It is essential that this return slip is enclosed with the package, along with a copy of the invoice. The Customer must retain proof of postage of the package. In the event of loss of the package, no refund will be provided without this proof of postage.

The Seller will refund the Customer the price of the returned product and the postage costs charged to the Customer, within 14 days of the date on which the right of withdrawal was exercised, using the same means of payment as used by the Customer for the original transaction, unless the Customer and Seller expressly agree a different means; in any event, this refund will not entail any charges for the Customer.

The Customer must return the product to the address provided on the return slip without excessive delay, and under all circumstances, fourteen days at the latest after the Customer has communicated their withdrawal decision. Return charges resulting from exercising the right of withdrawal shall be borne by the Customer. Consequently, sufficient postage must be paid to avoid any penalty to the Seller on receipt, failing which this penalty shall be deducted from the refund. Cash-on-delivery packages are systematically refused.

ARTICLE 8 – LIABILITY

Legal guarantee - All products supplied by the Seller benefit from the legal guarantee of conformity provided for under Articles L.211-4 to L.211-14 of the French Consumer Code and the legal guarantee against hidden defects provided for under Articles 1641 to 1649 of the French Civil Code.

The Customer benefits from a deadline of two years as of delivery of the product in which to act. They may choose between repair or replacement of the goods. They are not required to provide proof of the product’s conformity defect.

The Customer may decide to implement the guarantee against hidden defects as set out in Article 1641 of the French Civil Code, in which case they may choose between annulment of the sale or a reduction in the sale price, pursuant to Article 1644 of the French Civil Code.

 

The Seller is accountable to the Customer for the proper implementation of the sales agreement.
