The customer is informed that the Products are entirely handmade by our craftsmen. The number of manipulations of the tile inevitably do a certain variability and imperfections in the form of shades of colours, small bubbles in the glass and on the surface, fine scratches, and differences in thickness +/- 1 mm. These small imperfections are proof of a craftsmanship.

Delivery delays cannot give rise to any penalty or compensation, nor can they justify the cancellation of the order.

If, however, 1 month after the planned indicative delivery date, the goods had not been delivered, for any reason other than a case of force majeure, the sale may then be resolved by operation of law at the request of either party, by e-mail or post with acknowledgement of receipt.

In this case, VERRETUOSES will refund to the customer the amount including tax of its order within 14 days of receipt of the request for cancellation of the order.

The terms of the orders sent to VERRETUOSES are irrevocable for the customer unless we agree in writing. In this case, VERRETUOSES will not be bound to respect the delivery times initially agreed.

In any event, VERRETUOSES shall not incur any liability in the event of non-performance or delay in the performance of any of its obligations by the carrier if the latter results from a fact beyond its control and which escapes its control.

The delivery is also materialized by the signature of a delivery note or receipt by a close friend of the customer (including but not limited to his wife, spouse, children, parents) or by a guardian, or a neighbour of the customer.

If no one is present on site at the time of delivery, or if the delivery could not take place due to inaccuracies in the conditions of accessibility, the costs of the new delivery will be borne by the customer and payable before the new delivery.

The products always travel at the customer’s own risk regardless of the means of transport used or the methods of payment of the transport price.

In fact the reception is the responsibility of the customer, he must check the condition of the packaging as well as the product(s) upon delivery and make any reservations and claims that would prove necessary and/or refuse the package if it has been opened or if it shows signs of significant damage and note on the carrier’s receipt all the observations noted (breaks, bad pallet, torn boxes...).

9.5 - These reservations or complaints must be made in writing on the delivery note or receipt and must be communicated as soon as possible to VERRETUOSES, with indication of the order reference of the customer.

All claims for damage or non-compliance must be made to VERRETUOSES and the carrier by registered letter within 3 days from the date of delivery. Warning: the simple mention "subject to unpacking" has no value and does not cover any damage found later. The reservation expressed in writing must be precise and detailed regarding the apparent damage.

11.2 - Legal warranty of conformity - VERRETUOSES will deliver you a product that complies with the contract and is free of defects of conformity upon delivery of the said product, in the sense that the product will be suitable for the usual use of a similar good and will display the characteristics presented at the time of sale.

The return, replacement or refund of the product will be made at no cost to you and will not preclude the possible award of damages if you are entitled to them.

11.3 - Legal warranty of hidden defects - VERRETUOSES will give you a product free of hidden defects that would make it unsuitable for the use to which it is intended, or that reduce this use so much, that you would not have acquired it, or would have given it only a lower price, if you’d known them. This guarantee will only be effective if you make the request within two (2) years of the discovery of the defect.

In the event of a hidden defect, you will have the choice to return the product and have the price and costs incurred by the sale returned to you or to keep the product and have a part of the price returned to you. In any case, it will be up to you to prove that you meet the conditions of the guarantee.

11.4 - In case of non-compliance and hidden defects you must return the Products to us at the address indicated in article 1 of the GTC.

11.5 - Products or services modified, repaired, integrated, or added by the customer or any other person not authorized by the supplier of the said product or service are excluded from warranty. The guarantee will not play for apparent defects. The warranty will not cover damaged products during transport or misuse or non-compliance with safety instructions or the user manual. Tiles laid and glued, having undergone a transformation, may not be the subject of a complaint. The pose is the acceptance of the goods. We never visit a customer to see any issues or compliance issues.
