With this in mind, the rules for receiving and returning Products are as follows.

The Customer must check the condition of the packaging and the conformity of the Product at the time of delivery, and must immediately inform the delivery agent of any reservations he may have concerning the condition of the Product delivered, so that they can be noted on the transport document: damaged packaging, damage suffered, conformity with the order, etc. The Customer must also inform the delivery agent of any reservations he may have concerning the condition of the Product delivered, so that they can be noted on the transport document.

The customer must provide full proof of the non-conformity, damage or defect.

If no complaint is made within the aforementioned period and conditions, the Products delivered will be deemed to have been accepted by the Customer.

By reporting the defect or non-conformity of the Product, the Customer will obtain a return authorization from SHELYAK INSTRUMENTS, specifying the address and method of return.

Once the return authorization has been obtained, the Customer will return the Products to SHELYAK INSTRUMENTS at the address specified on the return authorization in the manner indicated.

In the event that the Customer returns the Product due to a proven lack of conformity confirmed by SHELYAK INSTRUMENTS, the Customer must use the same method of delivery for the return of the Products as the one chosen for the shipment of the Products ordered or, failing that, the one recommended by SHELYAK INSTRUMENTS. In this case, SHELYAK INSTRUMENTS will pay for the return shipping costs by issuing a return receipt or, failing that, by reimbursing the Customer for the actual amount of the said costs (proof of shipping costs must be enclosed with the package; in the absence of such proof, no reimbursement will be made).

WARRANTY AGAINST HIDDEN DEFECTS

Article 1641 of the french Civil Codel :

Article 1648 paragraph 1 of the French Civil Codel :

The action resulting from redhibitory defects must be brought by the purchaser within two years of discovery of the defect.

13. After-sales repair service
