If the initial payment was made by bank card, the Customer is refunded directly on the card used for the payment.

In accordance of the right of withdrawal, the return costs are not included in the refund.

10- Legal guarantees

Independantly of the right of cancellation, the products sold on the Site benefit from the following :

  • the guarantee of conformity, provided for in the French Consumers’ Protection Code
  • the Civil Code guarantee against hidden defects

providing that the use was normal and that the care advice was followed if applicable.

The guarantee of conformity concerns the products that are apparently faulty, spoiled or damaged or do not correspond with the order in view of the information provided on the Site when ordering (cf. Article 4- Products).

The guarantee against hidden defects arises from a fault of material, design or manufacture affecting the delivered products or making them unfit for their use.

If the product is faulty or unfit for use, the Customer can contact Cécile Preziosa by email to : contact@cecilepreziosa.com. If the problem comes under the guarantee, the Customer can request either replacement of the product (subject to availability) or reimbursement of the product and delivery costs. If the product does not correspond with the order but is in perfect condition, the Customer must return the product to initiate refund. The return costs will be included in the refund.
