On the basis of the items sent by the Customer and in accordance with the conditions set forth in Articles L. 217-4 et seq. of the French Consumer Code and those set forth in these General Terms and Conditions of Sale, LSee will proceed to verify the apparent or hidden defects, and then may authorize the return or reimbursement of any item that LSee recognizes as defective.
LSee may then, at the Customer’s option, replace the defective Product(s) as soon as possible or refund the price paid by the Customer for the defective Product(s).
The shipping costs will be reimbursed on the basis of the invoiced price and the return shipping costs will be reimbursed upon presentation of the supporting documents.
This warranty is also excluded in the event of use of the Product(s) by the Customer in a manner that does not comply with the customary precautions and instructions transmitted by LSee.
Refunds for Products deemed to be non-compliant or defective will be made as soon as possible and no later than fourteen (14) days following the Seller’s discovery of the lack of conformity or latent defect.
LSee shall not be held liable in the event of non-compliance with the legislation of the country in which the Products are delivered, which it is the Customer’s responsibility to check, or in the event of misuse, use for professional purposes, negligence or lack of maintenance on the part of the Customer, such as in the event of normal wear and tear of the Product, accident or force majeure.
LSee’s warranty is, in any event, limited to the replacement or reimbursement of Products that do not conform or are affected by a defect.
