In the event of subsequent termination of the contract, Cosmeticary.com will only refund the purchase price of the goods. The above-mentioned funds will be refunded without delay, at the latest 14 days after the date of termination.

LEGAL GUARANTEE OF CONFORMITY OF GOODS

The legal guarantee corresponds to the guarantee on consumer goods provided by article 1649bis and following of the Civil Code also known as "guarantee of conformity" which protects the customer when the products purchased by a customer have a lack of conformity. The legal guarantee of conformity benefits all individuals residing in the European Union.

If the customer has a problem with a product sold, the customer can contact our customer service department.
The 2-year legal guarantee applies to any lack of conformity of the product that the customer has purchased, i.e. when :
- The characteristics of his purchase do not correspond to those of the model presented;
- The quality and services do not meet the customer's expectations; or
- The customer cannot use the product for its normal intended purpose or for the specific functions it had requested.

Rights provided by the legal guarantee of conformity :
If the product purchased by the customer has a defect covered by the warranty of conformity, the customer has the right to obtain, free of charge, a repair or a replacement of the product. The customer has the right to obtain a price reduction or the cancellation of the contract in the following cases:
- If repair or replacement of the product is not possible;
- If replacement or repair cannot be implemented within a reasonable time ;
- If the replacement or repair cannot be implemented without major inconvenience to the customer.
Please note that a minor defect for which repair or replacement is not possible or unreasonably expensive does not entitle the customer to rescind the contract.

Duration of the legal guarantee of conformity :
The legal guarantee of conformity covers defects in conformity that occur within two years of the delivery of the product that the customer has purchased. The customer is advised to keep the proof of purchase of the product. Defects of conformity that appear within two years from the delivery of the product are presumed to have existed at the time of delivery, except where this presumption is not compatible with the nature of the product or the nature of the defect of conformity or unless proven otherwise.

Exchange, return and reimbursement

If the goods are defective at the time of delivery, the customer shall be entitled to repair or replacement of the goods, or to reduction of the price or rescission of the contract with reimbursement - with the customer's consent, these damages may also take the form of a voucher. The customer shall also have the right to demand the elimination of the defect in the form of a replacement delivery or repair. In the event that the elimination of a defect is impossible or unreasonable for us, the customer has the right to demand a discount on the purchase price and, if the defect is substantial, he can also withdraw from the purchase contract. He also has these rights if such a defect appears later. In case of missing product in the order, it is necessary to announce to Cosmeticary.com so that we can make the delivery of the product at our expense. If the delivery of the product within an additional and reasonable time is not possible, Cosmeticary.com will refund the customer the costs according to the option chosen in the claim form. 

Cosmeticary.com shall be liable for defects in the goods if they become apparent within two years of delivery of the goods.

Goods shall be deemed to be defective, in particular if they do not have the usual or presented properties, do not serve their purpose, do not comply with legal requirements or have not been delivered in the agreed quantities. Please note that an increased sensitivity or allergic reaction to the delivered products cannot in itself be considered a defect of the products. Similarly, defects in gifts and other free services that Cosmeticary.com provides beyond the scope of the order do not constitute a defect. The images of the products in our online store are only illustrative and do not constitute a binding representation of their properties (e.g. the packaging may differ due to a change made by the manufacturer).

Cosmeticary.com will be pleased to answer any questions concerning claims at [email protected] or +32 2 346 89 62. Please return the goods to Rue Auguste Orts 11B - 1000 Brussels (Belgium). Customers are advised to indicate what they consider to be a defect or how the defect is manifested, as well as their complaint handling requirements.

Cosmeticary.com will inform the customer of the status of the claim, in particular its receipt, acceptance or rejection, by e-mail. Cosmeticary.com may also contact the customer by telephone.

Cosmeticary.com will make a decision on the claim without delay. The processing of the complaint, including the elimination of the defect, will not normally exceed 30 days. Otherwise, the customer has the right to withdraw from the purchase contract. It is necessary for the customer to provide Cosmeticary.com the necessary assistance to meet the above deadline.

In the event of justified complaint, Cosmeticary.com supports the expenses related to the return of the goods.

Judge.me automatically verifies reviews based on the order history of Cosmeticary.com. If the notices are not associated with existing orders (e.g., directly from the websites Cosmeticary.com), Cosmeticary.com may request manual verification by submitting proof of orders.

A verified buyer badge is added once the review is verified by Judge.me. The badge can be translated and customized, but cannot be added by Cosmeticary.com even.

Give feedback

The customer can leave a review in the review form by e-mail or via the review widget. Product reviews are submitted via the review widget, while store reviews are submitted via the All Reviews page.
