If the products ordered have not been delivered within 30 days after the indicative delivery date, for any other reason than force majeure or the Customer’s fault, the sale may be cancelled at the Customer’s written request under the conditions provided for in Articles L 216-2, L216-3 and L241-4 of the French Consumer Code, by registered letter or e-mail with acknowledgement of receipt.

The Customer is required to check the condition of the products delivered. He has a period of 10 days from delivery to make claims by e-mail, accompanied by all relevant evidence (including photos). After this period and failing to comply with these formalities, the Products shall be deemed to be in conformity and free of any apparent defect and no complaint may be validly accepted by the Seller.

The Seller shall reimburse as soon as possible and at its own expense the Products delivered for which the Customer has duly proven the lack of conformity or the apparent or hidden defects, under the conditions set forth in Articles L217-4 et seq. of the French Consumer Code and those set forth in these Terms and Conditions of Sale.

The transfer of the risks of loss and deterioration relating thereto will only take place when the Customer takes physical possession of the Products. The Products are therefore at the Seller’s risk.
