7.1. General Provisions

A) COSMOSOFT is bound by the two (2) year legal warranty of conformity mentioned in Articles L. 217-4 to L. 217-13 of the French Consumer Code and by the two (2) year warranty relating to defects in purchased items, under the terms set out in Articles 1641 to 1648 and 2232 of the French Civil Code.

The purchaser may make claims under these two warranties to: COSMOSOFT, 26 rue d’Armaillé, 75017 Paris (France).

In accordance with the laws in force, the purchaser is advised that:

– they have two (2) years from delivery of the item to make a claim; – they may choose between the repair or the replacement of the item, subject to the cost-related conditions set out in Article L217-9 of the French Consumer Code;

– they are exempt from having to provide proof of the item’s lack of conformity during the 24 months following delivery of the item.

– the legal warranty of conformity applies independently of COSMOSOFT’s commercial warranty, with COSMOSOFT therefore remaining bound by the warranties of conformity and that on hidden defects.

– they may decide to make a claim under the warranty on hidden defects and may then choose between the cancellation of the sale or a reduction in the sale price.

Extracts from the French Consumer Code

Article L217-4 of the French Consumer Code

“The seller shall deliver goods that comply with the contract and is liable for any conformity defects that exist at the time of delivery. It is also liable for any conformity defects resulting from the packaging, assembly instructions or installation where it is responsible for these under the contract or they have been performed under its responsibility”.

Article L. 217-5 of the French Consumer Code

“In order to comply with the contract, the goods must:

1/ Be fit for the purpose usually expected of such goods and, where applicable:

– correspond to the description provided by the seller and possess the qualities that the seller has presented to the purchaser in the form of a sample or model;
– possess the qualities that a purchaser may legitimately expect given the public declarations made by the seller, manufacturer or their representative, particularly in advertising or on the labelling;

2/ Or present the characteristics jointly defined by the parties or be fit for any special purposes sought by the purchaser, brought to the attention of the seller and accepted by the latter”.

Article L217-9 of the French Consumer Code

In the event of non-conformity, the purchaser may choose between the repair and the replacement of the item. However, the seller may decide not to proceed as per the purchaser’s choice if this choice involves a cost that is manifestly disproportionate compared with the other option, given the value of the goods or the size of the defect. It must then proceed, if possible, with the option not chosen by the purchaser.

Article L. 217-12 of the French Consumer Code

“Claims resulting from conformity defects must be made within two years of delivery of the item”.

Article L217-16 of the French Consumer Code

Where the purchaser asks the seller, during the period of the commercial warranty provided by the seller upon the purchase or repair of a moveable asset, for a repair under the terms of the warranty, and where the product is out of use for at least seven days, this period shall be added to the remaining warranty period. This period shall be calculated from the date on which the purchaser submits its request or on which the product in question is provided for repair, if later.

Extracts from the French Civil Code

Article 1641 of the French Civil Code

“The seller is bound by a warranty on hidden defects in the goods sold which render them unfit for their intended use, or which impair that use to such an extent that the purchaser would not have bought them, or would have paid a lower price for them, had he or she been aware of the defects”

Article 1648 of the French Civil Code

Paragraph 1: “Claims resulting from hidden defects must be made by the purchaser within two years of discovery of the defects”.

B) The conformity defect is assumed to exist at the time of the sale (more specifically, at the time of the product’s delivery) if it appears within 24 months from delivery.

COSMOSOFT warrants that the product is, at the time of its original purchase, free of any material, design or manufacturing defect subject to the following provisions and conditions:

A) The warranty is given to the purchaser. It in no way limits the purchaser’s rights under the imperative provisions of applicable national law.

COSMOSOFT reserves the right to freely refuse the warranty in the event that the documents mentioned above cannot be presented or that the information required is incomplete or illegible.

COSMOSOFT is not liable for any incidental, consequential or indirect damages or costs.

In the event of a confirmed defect(s), the product will be replaced or the purchaser refunded, upon request and subject to availability. If a refund needs to be made, it will be done within thirty (30) days of receipt of the returned product from the purchaser. The return costs may then be refunded upon proof of dispatch costs.

The purchaser is automatically covered by the legal warranty on hidden defects, as defined in the aforementioned Articles 1641 and following of the French Civil Code.

ARTICLE 8 – RIGHT OF CANCELLATION

8.1. In accordance with the legal provisions in force, the purchaser has a period of fourteen (14) clear days from receipt of the products to exercise their right of cancellation with COSMOSOFT without having to give a reason or pay any penalty, with the exception, where applicable, of return costs (for which the purchaser is responsible). The purchaser may also exercise their right of cancellation from conclusion of the contract.

If the fourteen day period expires on a Saturday, Sunday or public holiday, it is extended until the next working day.

The purchaser may exercise their right of cancellation by contacting COSMOSOFT via the online “Customer Service” form or by emailing adv@biostimology.com

COSMOSOFT will then confirm receipt of the purchaser’s request to exercise their right of cancellation by email, as soon as possible.

Following this email, the purchaser has fourteen (14) days from their unequivocal notice of cancellation to return the product, at their expense, to COSMOSOFT, at the following address: COSMOSOFT – Rue de la Gare – Bâtiment 5 – CD 155 – 78890 GARANCIÈRES.

Should the purchaser fail to return the product(s) within this time period, they will be considered to have waived this right of cancellation.

COSMOSOFT does not accept parcels sent carriage forward or cash on delivery.

In order to avoid any dispute, it is recommended that a purchaser exercising their right of cancellation returns the product or products in similar conditions to those of the initial dispatch, with a stated value corresponding to the price of the initial order, and that the purchaser retains proof of dispatch until the full refund of their order.

8.2. If a purchaser exercises their right of cancellation, COSMOSOFT undertakes to refund the purchaser for all sums paid (including standard delivery charges) as soon as possible and no later than fourteen (14) days from the date on which the purchaser informed COSMOSOFT of their intention to cancel, provided that COSMOSOFT has received the returned product(s) or that the purchaser has provided COSMOSOFT with a proof of dispatch for the product(s).

COSMOSOFT is not obliged to refund any additional costs if the purchaser expressly selected a more costly method of delivery than the standard delivery offered by COSMOSOFT.

The refund will be made via the same payment method used by the purchaser to pay for their purchase, unless the purchaser has given express authorisation to be refunded via another method and provided that this does not result in additional costs for the purchaser.

COSMOSOFT devices that are returned by the purchaser must not have been used (for hygiene reasons) or have been damaged in the slightest way, and must be perfectly clean.

The purchaser is advised that there is no right of cancellation for OSMOSCULPT cosmetic products. Opening these products makes them unfit for subsequent sale and, as such, they can be neither refunded, returned or replaced, for reasons of hygiene and health protection.

ARTICLE 9 – PERSONAL DATA

9.1. The purchaser accepts that personal data about them, collected by COSMOSOFT during the Website order process (surname, first name, postal address, email address, telephone number, bank details), will be processed by automated or non-automated means (if these personal data are contained or intended to be contained in a file).

The purchaser may revoke their agreement and withdraw their consent at any time.

Personal data about the purchaser are intended for the use of COSMOSOFT and its subcontractors as defined in Article 28 of the GDPR, respectively subject to national and European provisions on the protection of personal data.

The purchaser may also communicate their instructions on how they would like their rights to be exercised after their death.

If the purchaser’s telephone details are collected by COSMOSOFT, for example in the context of a contract of sale agreed via the Website, the purchaser may ask COSMOSOFT to ensure that their telephone number is on an objection list so that they do not receive commercial prospecting calls by telephone.

To exercise their rights, the purchaser may submit a request via:

– email to adv@biostimology.com
In accordance with the aforementioned regulations in force, all requests must be signed and accompanied by a photocopy of a valid identity document and specify the address to which the data controller must respond. A response will then be sent within one (1) month of receipt of the request.
