ARTICLE 11. RIGHT OF WITHDRAWAL AND RIGHT OF RETURN

11.1 In accordance with the provisions of article L 121-20 of the French Consumer Code, the Customer has a right of withdrawal within fourteen (14) days of receipt of the Order. The latter may thus obtain the right to return a Product which does not suit him/her, without penalty.

11.2 In the event of the Customer exercising his right of withdrawal, and in accordance with the provisions of article L. 121-20 of the French Consumer Code, the cost of returning the Order shall be borne by the Customer.

11.3 Any return request received by the Supplier after this fourteen (14) day period for any reason whatsoever will not be accepted.

11.4 To exercise his right of withdrawal, the Customer must first contact the Supplier's customer service department by e-mail, indicating "request for return" in the subject line of the e-mail. The Supplier's customer service will then give the Customer a return number.

11.5 If the return is due to a change of mind, the Customer must go to his post office and send (at his own expense) the Order to the address communicated to him by the Supplier. The Customer then has a period of fifteen (15) days for the Supplier to receive the Product.

11.6 When the Order to be returned has been delivered by post and the return is due to an error by the Supplier or a non-conformity of the Product, the customer service department will send the Customer a return slip enabling him to send the Product free of charge.

11.7 The Product must be returned to the Supplier in a condition suitable for resale, i.e. in compliance with the return conditions set out below: Product unused (i.e. sealed and unopened for liquids), undirty, undamaged, unmodified and unscratched in its original packaging.

11.8 Products must be accompanied by the return number provided by the Supplier and the sales invoice.

11.9 The risks associated with the return of the Product, whatever the cause, are the responsibility of the Customer. If the Product is lost during shipment, the Customer is solely responsible and must take action against the Post Office. The Supplier cannot reimburse the Customer.

11.10 If the right of withdrawal is exercised in compliance with the conditions stipulated herein, the Customer will be offered either a credit note or a refund of the amount of the purchase, excluding the amount of shipping costs paid by the Customer. If the Customer chooses a refund, the Supplier will make every effort to reimburse the Customer within fourteen (14) days from the date of receipt of the returned Product. If the Customer is reimbursed by bank credit, the speed with which the bank account is credited depends on the Customer's type of bank card: in the case of an immediate debit card, the current account is generally credited within three (3) to eight (8) days, depending on the bank; in the case of a deferred debit card, the credit appears at the end of the month on the credit card account and not on the current account. If repayment takes longer, the Customer must contact his bank himself.

11.11 If the returned Product does not reach the Supplier within the time limits and conditions stipulated in the present article, the Customer may neither be reimbursed nor obtain a credit note. In this case, if the Customer wishes to use the Product again, he must send an e-mail requesting this to the Supplier, who will then send the Product as soon as possible. The cost of reshipment shall be borne by the Customer and shall be payable in advance.

11.12 If the Product returned under the right of withdrawal reaches the Supplier in a condition other than New, a discount of the original amount will be applied before reimbursement.

11.13 Certain products are excluded from the right of return once they have been used for the first time, for obvious reasons of hygiene: atomizers, replacement resistors, drip tips or clearomizers, for example.
