ARTICLE 6: Reception

6.1 Reception of goods

Upon delivery, it is essential that the Customer counts, checks and inspects the condition of the product(s) in the presence of the Deliveryman. Before signing the delivery receipt, it is the Customer’s responsibility to ensure that the item(s) delivered correspond perfectly with his order, and that they are not damaged in any way.

In the event of an anomaly, the Customer must clearly state the nature of his claim on the delivery receipt. His remarks must be handwritten, dated, set down in detail, and accompanied by a signature on the delivery receipt.

In the event of damaged merchandise or missing parcels:

§  Ensure that your claim includes the product reference found on the carrier’s consignment note

§  Have the driver countersign the note

§  Notify the carrier of the damage by registered mail within 48 hours to ensure a proper litigation process 

It is important to point out that the terms ‘subject to unpacking’ or ‘damaged boxes’ are not sufficiently explicit to have legal value. The Customer must clearly state the nature of the damage: breakage, deformations, scratches, stains, etc. Furthermore, the Customer must specify if the product packaging is damaged. In the same way, the Customer must specify the nature of any delivery error: incorrect colour, round legs rather than square legs, incorrect reference, etc.

Whenever an error or damage is spotted, it is essential that the Customer refuses the delivery and sends us his claim within 48 hours, by sending an e-mail to  contact@lesjardins.com

Any claim sent after this period shall not be accepted. If the Customer does not make any claims, the delivered item is deemed satisfactory, and shall not be subject to any subsequent challenges or product replacements.

ARTICLE 7: Cancellation period & return of goods

Should the fourteen (14)-day period expire on a Saturday, a Sunday, a bank holiday, or a non-working day, it shall be extended to the first working day thereafter.

7.2 Procedure

Before returning the item, the Customer must notify customer service of his cancellation, either by e-mail at contact@lesjardins.com, or by telephone on +33 (0)4 42 90 45 30, specifying the product(s) concerned. A returns form shall be generated to monitor the product’s return.

LES JARDINS^® retains title to goods which have been delivered and billed to the Customer until they have been paid for in full. Failure to pay may result in the products being reclaimed by LES JARDINS^®.

The aforementioned provisions do not preclude the transfer to the Customer of the risks of loss or deterioration of the products subject to reservation of title, as well as any damage they may incur.

The transfer of risk to the Customer becomes effective upon delivery of the item(s). The same applies to product returns.

During the cancellation period, the Customer is responsible for the products’ safekeeping, and shall face the consequences if they are damaged or destroyed in any way.
