If the buyer is absent on the day of delivery, the delivery person will leave a notice in the mailbox, which will allow the parcel to be collected at the place and within the time indicated.

If, at the time of delivery, the original packaging is damaged, torn or opened, the buyer must check the condition of the items. If they have been damaged, the buyer must refuse the parcel and note a reservation on the delivery slip (parcel refused because opened or damaged).

The buyer must indicate on the delivery slip, in the form of handwritten reservations accompanied by their signature, any anomaly concerning the delivery (damage, product missing compared with the delivery slip, damaged parcel, broken products…).

This check is considered to have been carried out once the buyer, or a person authorized by them, has signed the delivery slip. The buyer must then confirm these reservations to the carrier by registered letter no later than two working days after receipt of the item(s), and send a copy of this letter by fax or regular mail to the seller at the address indicated in the website's legal notice.

If the products need to be returned to the seller, a return request must be made to the seller within 14 days of delivery. Any claim made after this period cannot be accepted. Product returns can only be accepted for products in their original condition (packaging, accessories, instructions…).

In the event of a delivery error or exchange, any product to be exchanged or refunded must be returned to the seller in its entirety and in its original packaging, by Colissimo Recommandé (registered), to the following address: 54 RUE GRENETA, 75002 PARIS.

The photographs must not have been modified, retouched or generated by an artificial intelligence tool.

The buyer must also provide the batch number shown on the product. The seller reserves the right to ask the buyer for a short additional video of the product, in particular if there is doubt about the authenticity of the photographs provided.

In case of suspected falsification or if the authenticity of the evidence provided cannot be verified, the refund or the sending of a replacement product will be conditional on the prior return of the product concerned, at the buyer's expense.

Consumer Code (French Code de la consommation)

Appendix:

Article L. 217-4: “The seller delivers goods that conform to the contract and is liable for any lack of conformity existing at the time of delivery.

The seller is also liable for any lack of conformity resulting from the packaging, the assembly instructions or the installation when the latter was the seller's responsibility under the contract or was carried out under the seller's responsibility.”

Article L. 217-5: “The goods conform to the contract:

• If they are fit for the purposes for which goods of the same type are usually used and, where applicable:
• if they correspond to the description given by the seller and possess the qualities that the seller presented to the buyer in the form of a sample or model;
• if they have the qualities that a buyer can legitimately expect, having regard to the public statements made by the seller, the producer or their representative, in particular in advertising or labeling;
• Or if they have the characteristics defined by mutual agreement of the parties or are fit for any special purpose sought by the buyer, brought to the seller's attention and accepted by the latter.”

Article L. 217-6: “The seller is not bound by the public statements of the producer or their representative if it is established that the seller was unaware of them and was legitimately not in a position to be aware of them.”

Article L. 217-7: “Lack of conformity that appears within twenty-four months of delivery of the goods is presumed to have existed at the time of delivery, unless proven otherwise. For second-hand goods, this period is set at six months. The seller may rebut this presumption if it is not compatible with the nature of the goods or the lack of conformity invoked.”

Article L. 217-8: “The buyer is entitled to demand that the goods conform to the contract. However, the buyer may not dispute conformity by invoking a defect that they knew of or could not have been unaware of when they contracted. The same applies when the defect originates in materials that the buyer supplied themselves.”

Article L. 217-9: “In the event of a lack of conformity, the buyer chooses between repair and replacement of the goods. However, the seller may decline to proceed according to the buyer's choice if that choice entails a cost that is manifestly disproportionate compared with the other option, taking into account the value of the goods or the significance of the defect. The seller is then required, unless impossible, to proceed according to the option not chosen by the buyer.”

Article L. 217-10: “If repair and replacement of the goods are impossible, the buyer may return the goods and be refunded the price or keep the goods and be refunded part of the price. The same option is available: 1° If the solution requested, proposed or agreed pursuant to Article L. 217-9 cannot be implemented within one month of the buyer's claim; 2° Or if this solution cannot be implemented without major inconvenience to the buyer, taking into account the nature of the goods and the use sought. However, termination of the sale cannot be ordered if the lack of conformity is minor.”

Article L. 217-11: The application of the provisions of Articles L. 217-9 and L. 217-10 takes place at no cost to the buyer. These same provisions do not preclude the award of damages.

Article L. 217-12: “The action resulting from a lack of conformity is time-barred two years after delivery of the goods.”

Article L. 217-13: “The provisions of this section do not deprive the buyer of the right to bring an action for redhibitory defects as provided for in Articles 1641 to 1649 of the Civil Code or any other contractual or non-contractual action recognized by law.”

Article L. 217-14: “A recourse action may be brought by the final seller against successive sellers or intermediaries and the producer of the tangible movable property, according to the principles of the Civil Code.

Article L. 217-15: “A commercial guarantee means any contractual commitment by a professional to the consumer to refund the purchase price, replace or repair the goods or provide any other service in connection with the goods, in addition to the professional's legal obligations to guarantee the conformity of the goods. The commercial guarantee is the subject of a written contract, a copy of which is given to the buyer. The contract specifies the content of the guarantee, the terms of its implementation, its price, its duration, its territorial scope and the name and address of the guarantor.

In addition, it states clearly and precisely that, independently of the commercial guarantee, the seller remains bound by the legal guarantee of conformity referred to in Articles L. 217-4 to L. 217-12 and by the guarantee relating to defects of the thing sold, under the conditions provided for in Articles 1641 to 1648 and 2232 of the Civil Code.

The provisions of Articles L. 217-4, L. 217-5, L. 217-12 and L. 217-16 as well as Article 1641 and the first paragraph of Article 1648 of the Civil Code are reproduced in full in the contract.

In the event of non-compliance with these provisions, the guarantee remains valid. The buyer is entitled to rely on it.”

Article L. 217-16: “When the buyer asks the seller, during the commercial guarantee granted at the time of the purchase or repair of a movable good, for a repair covered by the guarantee, any period of immobilization of at least seven days is added to the remaining duration of the guarantee. This period runs from the buyer's request for intervention or from the making available of the goods in question for repair, if this is later than the request for intervention.”

Civil Code (French Code civil)

Article 1641: “The seller is bound by the guarantee on account of hidden defects in the thing sold which render it unfit for the use for which it is intended, or which so diminish this use that the buyer would not have acquired it, or would have paid a lower price for it, had they known of them.”

Article 1648: “The action resulting from redhibitory defects must be brought by the purchaser within two years of the discovery of the defect. In the case provided for by Article 1642-1, the action must be brought, on pain of foreclosure, within the year following the date on which the seller may be discharged from the apparent defects or lack of conformity.”
