After reporting the defect, the customer must allow OXUM to review the products. Faulty product inspection occurs at the OXUM premises.

The customer may exercise the rights indicated in this clause when the lack of conformity manifests itself within a period of two years from the delivery of the good.

In case of lack of conformity, the customer has the right to have it replaced without charge, through repair or replacement or resolution if the first two solutions are not viable.

The expression 'free of charge' relates to the expenditure necessary to return the goods in accordance with the contract, such as shipping, workmanship and material costs. This means that if the claim under the guarantee is denied, the client will have to pay the shipping costs.

The client may exercise any of the rights referred to in this clause, unless this is impossible or constitute an abuse of rights, in general terms.

"Lack of conformity" means that the product must be delivered in accordance with the technical characteristics set out in its description and devoid of any defect likely to diminish the economic value and its utility. However, it must be taken into consideration that it is a handcrafted product and as such the product may present slight differences from the product presented in the online store.

On the other hand, any defects in products resulting from normal wear and tear, damage caused by transport by the customer, misuse or repairs without OXUM written approval will not be covered by the warranty.

In order to activate the guarantee, it is necessary to send the product with the respective purchase invoice by the Customer.

RIGHT OF FREE SETTLEMENT

  • the day on which the customer or a third party - other than the carrier - acquires the physical possession of the last product, in the case of several goods ordered by the customer in a single order and delivered separately;
  • the day on which the customer or a third party - other than the carrier - acquires the physical possession of the last lot or element, in the case of the delivery of a good consisting of several lots or elements.

If payment of the product(s) has been made through bank transfer, ATM, paypal, credit card or MBWAY, the customer has the duty to indicate the tax number of the taxpayer so that the refund of the total payment amount received took place.

The customer must return the goods to OXUM within 14 days of the communication date of her/his decision. The returning costs will be at customer’s expenses.
