If the above procedure is not followed and the time limits indicated are not respected, the Customer will not be able to make any claim for missing or non-conforming products or visible defects in the products delivered, as the products will then be in conformity and free of any visible defect.

7.2. Special case of a non-conforming Product

Arlettie advises you to check the Product at the time of delivery and if the Product delivered does not conform (error in the Product, defective, damaged or incomplete Product), to make written reservations at the latest within three (3) days following this delivery, to Arlettie's customer service at contact.online@arlettie.fr.

In all cases, the Terms of article 8.1 on legal guarantees will apply. Thus, the Product delivered that does not conform can only be replaced if it is available. Nevertheless, if the new Product received does not suit you, you may exercise your right of withdrawal within the remaining period.

For Products notified as not conforming within three (3) days of delivery, Arlettie allows you to exercise your right of withdrawal and obtain a refund of the Product in accordance with the provisions of Article 7.1, without going through the exchange.

If, within seven (7) working days following the dispatch of the order, the Customer has still not received the parcel, nor a delivery notice, nor precise information via the online tracking of the parcel, he/she must go to his/her nearest post office or to his/her collection point with the tracking number of the parcel in his/her Customer account, notably in the confirmation email sent to him/her at the time of dispatch.

If the transporter does not find any trace of the order, the buyer must contact Arlettie's customer service as soon as possible, either by email at the following address: contact.online@arlettie.fr or by telephone at +33 1 88 40 36 30 for French customers and at +44 330 818 7917 for UK customers.

Article 8 – Guarantee

8.1 Legal guarantees

All Products sold on the Website are covered by the legal guarantee of conformity (articles L217-1 et seq. of the French Consumer Code) and the guarantee against hidden defects (articles 1641 et seq. of the French Civil Code), allowing you to return defective or non-compliant Products.

You have a period of two years from the date of delivery of the Product to take action under the legal guarantee of conformity. In this case, you may choose between repairing or replacing the Product, depending on the cost conditions set out in Article L217-9 of the French Consumer Code, and depending on available stocks. If these two solutions are impossible to carry out within 30 days of the Customer's request, Arlettie will proceed with a full refund against return of the product.

It is reminded that the legal guarantee of conformity applies independently of any commercial guarantee that may be granted by the manufacturer or Arlettie.

Furthermore, if the Customer decides to invoke the guarantee against hidden defects of the item sold within the Terms of Article 1641 of the Civil Code, he/she may choose between the withdrawal of the sale or a reduction of the sale price. It is up to the Customer to prove that the defect existed before the delivery of the product and was not apparent at the time of delivery.

8.2. Commercial guarantees

The items sold online by Arlettie cannot give rise to a commercial guarantee known as manufacturer's guarantee since Arlettie is not a partner. Thus, all the products put online are exclusive of the commercial guarantee.

Therefore, no buyer can ask to benefit from this guarantee. The manufacturer's guarantee may be indicated on the product description page during the sale on the Arlettie website. The scope and period of this commercial guarantee varies according to the brands and manufacturers.

The contractual guarantee granted by the manufacturer is the one usually granted by the supplier to its customers. In any case, Arlettie cannot be responsible if the manufacturer refuses to apply its guarantee.

In any case, the commercial guarantee will be refused to any product modified, repaired, integrated or added by the buyer or any other person not authorised by the supplier of this product or service. The guarantee will also not cover products damaged in shipping or by incorrect use.
