Equipment
We offer a 2-year guarantee on our equipment, from the date of purchase. This guarantee covers defects in conformity and workmanship.
- Normal wear and tear, improper cleaning and scaling of the product,
- Damage caused by an accident or misuse of the product,
- Damage caused by repairs carried out by unauthorised personnel.
- Failure to comply with the protective measures listed in the product instructions or warranty.
This is possible, provided that the products returned have not been used and are in new condition and in the original packaging, as received.
We are your main contact for all complaints. You don't need to go through the trademarks to register your customers' complaints.
Here is the list of items you need to send us:
- your customer code
- the invoice (ours if you are using or have not yet sold the item, yours if you have resold the item)
- the item reference and the quantity affected
- the serial number (on the underside of electrical items and, for Hario, on the inside of the original packaging)
- a description of the problem
- a video or photo showing the problem
On receipt of your complaint, we will confirm that your request has been registered, and we will give you a follow-up reference to remind you of every time you discuss the matter.
You will only be responsible for the cost of transporting the faulty equipment. If you live in mainland France, these costs may be reimbursed on presentation of proof. Returns, however, are always at our expense!
Spare parts are free, subject to availability. Depending on the brand and the item, we may offer to send you spare parts, send you the item to be repaired, exchange it or give you a credit note.
Outside the 2-year guarantee period, you are responsible for all shipping and return costs, whether you live in mainland France or not. You will be invoiced for the cost of returns once your product has been dispatched.
Once we have received all the information required to register your request, we undertake to provide you with a solution within 1 month. This period may be longer, for example, in the case of a machine that has to be repaired abroad.
