10.4  The delivery time is indicated on the Product Sheet before the Customer places the order and in the order confirmation email.

10.9 The Customer acknowledges that he is obliged to withdraw the Product subject to the purchase contract.

 

In case of non-delivery due to the absence of the recipient at the address indicated on the order form, the carrier will leave a notice of passage in the mailbox including a number where to contact him.

 

The carrier will therefore make a second delivery attempt. After two delivery attempts without result, the package will be stored. The Carrier will therefore send an email to the Customer in order to unblock the order so that the package is delivered to him as quickly as possible.

 

If necessary, customer service may, by mutual agreement with the Customer, change the delivery address. If this attempt does not obtain any result or if the Customer does not respond to the customer service contact attempt, the Product will be returned to the Seller and, in any case, passed 15 calendar days from the date of the first delivery attempt, or from the date of receipt of theinformation e-mail  "Product ready to be withdrawn",   the contract will be terminated and the purchase order will therefore be cancelled.

  1. 8 If the return has not been exercised in accordance with the applicable regulations, this will not imply the withdrawal from the contract and therefore will not entail any right of refund. The Seller will communicate it within 5 working days from the date of receipt of the Product, refusing the request for withdrawal.
