However that may be, Eusamex may not be held liable for improper use of the product by the web user, for normal wear and tear of the product, or for failure to maintain it.
9.2 Nonconformity (see extracts from Civil Code in Schedule 2)
Most of our products are handmade, and as such certain variances in color and size may occur and cannot be considered as irregularities. However, in the event of nonconformity of the product delivered, the web user must inform Eusamex Customer Service by e-mail clearly describing the nonconformity noticed.
9.3.3 Consideration of the web user’s application
Eusamex undertakes, in the light of the application made by the web user, to exchange or reimburse the product to the web user, subject to it being returned in its original packaging. In the event of a manifest difference in the cost of the 2 options, Eusamex will opt for the less expensive solution. When an item is returned on grounds of a defect, Eusamex shall reimburse the costs of carriage on presentation of the relevant proofs and at all events according to the tariffs currently in force. Reimbursement shall be made prorata depending on the price of the product in relation to the complete order.
Subject to the consent of the web user, Eusamex may suggest a credit note instead of exchange or reimbursement.
The stipulations laid down in this Article do not affect your rights to withdrawal as provided for in Article 10.
10 – RIGHT OF WITHDRAWAL
In application of Article L.121-20 and following of the Consumer Code, the web user enjoys a period of fourteen days from the receipt date of the order to exercise their right to withdrawal.

In the event of an exercise of the right to withdraw, in accordance with the withdrawal application attached in Schedule 1, the web user may request the reimbursement of the order, not including the costs of dispatch and return incurred. In the event of exchange, the web user is invited to re-order directly on the site and return the original item in order for Eusamex to proceed to the refund, processing times being faster and new shipping fees at the web user charge in both cases.
Since then, Eusamex will reimburse the web user within a maximum period of time of 14 days from the effective return of the product, directly on the payment mean used.
