After this period and if these formalities have not been complied with, the Products shall be free of any apparent defect and no claim may be validly accepted by ARTEFACT.

7.2 Costs
Delivery costs are calculated separately on the site when the order is placed.

When this service is offered by the carrier, ARTEFACT requires hand delivery with a signature.

Delivery times are those indicated by the carrier and generally vary between 1 and 7 working days for deliveries in France.

Article L217-9

In the event of a lack of conformity, the buyer shall choose between repairing or replacing the goods. However, ARTEFACT may not proceed according to the purchaser’s choice if this choice would result in a cost that is clearly disproportionate to the other method, taking into account the value of the goods or the extent of the defect. He shall then be obliged to proceed, unless this is impossible, according to the method not chosen by the buyer.

Article L217-10

If the repair and replacement of the goods are impossible, the buyer may return the goods and have the price refunded or keep the goods and have part of the price returned.

Article 19 – Disputes
19.1 Amicable treatment
Prior to any legal recourse and any referral to the mediator, the Parties shall endeavour to resolve their disputes amicably and any legal action must therefore be preceded by an attempt to resolve the said dispute.

The Customer shall send his complaint to the Seller by registered mail with acknowledgement of receipt.

If at the end of a period of thirty (30) days the Parties are unable to agree on a compromise or a solution, the dispute will then be submitted to the jurisdiction of the courts designated below.

19.2 Mediation
The Customer may, if he so wishes, have recourse free of charge to a consumer mediator with a view to the amicable resolution of a dispute between him and the Seller.

However, it is specified that a dispute may only be examined by a consumer mediator when :

– The Customer justifies having previously attempted to resolve the dispute directly with the Service Provider by means of a written complaint sent by registered mail with acknowledgement of receipt to the Service Provider,

– The Customer’s request is not unfounded or manifestly abusive,

– The dispute has not been previously examined, or is still being examined, by another mediator or by a Court,

– The Customer refers the matter to the mediator within one year of his written complaint to the Service Provider,

– The dispute falls within the jurisdiction of the mediator.

The parties remain free not to have recourse to the consumer mediator, to leave the mediation process at any time and to bring the matter before any competent court under the conditions of common law.
