If the buyer is absent on the day of delivery, the delivery person will leave a delivery notice in the mailbox, allowing the package to be collected at the location and during the time period indicated.
If, upon delivery, the original packaging is damaged, torn, or open, the buyer must check the condition of the items. If they are damaged, the buyer must refuse the package and note this on the delivery slip (for example, "package refused because it was open or damaged").
The buyer must indicate on the delivery note, in the form of handwritten reservations accompanied by his signature, any anomaly concerning the delivery (damage, missing product compared to the delivery note, damaged package, broken products, etc.).
This verification is considered to have been carried out once the buyer, or a person authorized by him, has signed the delivery note.
The buyer must then confirm these reservations to the carrier by registered letter with acknowledgment of receipt no later than two working days following 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 legal notices of the site.
If products need to be returned to the seller, a return request must be submitted to the seller within 14 days of delivery. Any claim made after this period will not be accepted. Product returns will only be accepted for products in their original condition (packaging, accessories, instructions, etc.).
All returns are at the customer's expense and responsibility. Refunds will not be issued until the package has been received and its condition verified. The seller cannot be held liable for the loss of a returned package.
Article 13 – Delivery Errors
The buyer must notify the seller of any delivery errors and/or non-conformity of the products in terms of type or quality compared to the order form, either on the day of delivery or at the latest on the first business day following delivery. Any claim made after this period will be rejected.

If repair or replacement is impossible, or cannot be implemented within one month of the claim, or creates a major inconvenience for the buyer, the buyer may request a price reduction or termination of the contract.

Damaged, soiled or incomplete products will not be accepted for return.
The right of withdrawal can be exercised online using the withdrawal form available on this website. In this case, an acknowledgement of receipt on a durable medium will be immediately sent to the buyer.
