ARTICLE 9 : PERSONAL DATA
All personal data processed by GiftedLab is done so in accordance with our Privacy Policy, which you accept as part of this TAC.
ARTICLE 10 : WARRANTY OF GIFTEDLAB SERVICES AND PRODUCTS
- Legal guarantee for all users/customers
In accordance with articles 1641 to 1643 of the Civil Code, GiftedLab is bound by the guarantee of the products against hidden defects which make the products unfit for the use for which they are intended, or which diminish this use so much that the purchaser would not have acquired them or would have given only a lesser price if he/she had known them.
- In the event of a hidden defect, the customer must act within a short period of time, in accordance with Article 1648 of the Civil Code, and may choose between returning the product with a hidden defect in exchange for a full refund, or keeping it in exchange for a partial refund.
- GiftedLab shall not be liable for any product warranty against apparent defects of which the customer could or should have been aware at the time of purchase. Similarly, GiftedLab is only liable for hidden defects of which it was aware at the time of sale and of which it did not warn the customer.
- Additional legal guarantee for users with consumer status
In accordance with Article 1649 quater of the Civil Code, the buyer who is a consumer also benefits from a two-year legal guarantee for all defects of conformity that existed at the time of delivery of the product and that have appeared within a period of two years from delivery.
This warranty includes repair or replacement of the defective product at no cost to the consumer.
If, however, such repair or replacement proves impossible, disproportionate to GiftedLab or would cause serious inconvenience to the consumer, an appropriate reduction or refund may be offered to the consumer, provided that the consumer returns the defective products.
In the event that specific spare parts or accessories required to repair the product are no longer available from the manufacturer, GiftedLab shall not be liable for any loss of use of the product.
The consumer is required to inform GiftedLab of the existence of the lack of conformity, in writing, within a maximum of two months from the day on which he/she noticed the defect, on pain of forfeiture of his/her right to claim.
Only the invoice, receipt or order form shall serve as the buyer’s warranty certificate to GiftedLab. These documents must be kept by the customer and presented in their original version. The warranty period starts on the date mentioned on these documents.
This warranty does not apply if the failure is due to misuse, external causes, improper maintenance, normal wear and tear or any use not in accordance with the manufacturer’s or GiftedLab’s instructions.
In the event of damage, theft or loss of a repaired product, GiftedLab’s liability shall in any event be limited to the purchase price of the product. GiftedLab shall not be liable for the loss or reproduction of data stored in or by electronic devices returned for repair.
- Warranty on services provided
GiftedLab undertakes to perform the services in a professional manner.
GiftedLab’s commitments regarding courses, workshops, counselling/coaching sessions, personality tests, webinars, training, discussion/support groups, conferences (as well as Book Study groups and the sale of book summaries) are limited to a strict obligation of means. In no event shall GiftedLab be liable if the results expected by the User cannot be achieved.
ARTICLE 11: LEGAL AND COMMERCIAL GUARANTEES
- All products offered by GiftedLab are subject to the legal guarantee of conformity provided by law, and in particular articles L.217-4, L.217-5 and L.217-12 of the Consumer Code, and to the guarantee of hidden defects provided by articles 1641 and 1648, first paragraph, of the Civil Code:
The non-conforming product will be replaced or repaired according to the costs provided for in the Consumer Code.
The legal guarantee of conformity applies independently of any commercial guarantee that may have been granted.
Thus, the User :
(i) has a period of two (2) years from the delivery of the product to bring an action for lack of conformity of the product
(ii) is exempted from proving the existence of the lack of conformity of the goods during the ten (10) months following the delivery of the product,
(iii) may choose between repairing or replacing the product, subject to the cost conditions set out in Article L. 217-9 of the French Consumer Code.
In addition, the Customer may also invoke the legal guarantee for hidden defects in the item sold, as defined in Articles 1641 et seq. of the Civil Code. The legal guarantee for hidden defects allows the Customer, within a period of two years from the discovery of the defect, to be reimbursed for a Product that has proved unfit for its purpose.
The warranty for hidden defects allows the customer to be protected against hidden defects in the purchased product that prevent its use or affect it to such an extent that the customer would not have purchased it.
The Customer then has the choice between two options: to keep the product and ask for a reduction of the price, or to return the product and ask for a refund of the price paid, in accordance with Article 1644 of the Civil Code.
- If User believes that he/she has received a product/service that he/she considers to be defective or non-conforming, he/she should contact GiftedLab, as soon as possible after receipt of the Order, at the following e-mail address: miona@giftedlab.org, or by registered mail with acknowledgement of receipt at the following address: 5 rue Christiani, 75018 Paris, specifying the defect or non-conformity at issue.
- It is up to the User to provide any justification for the designation of apparent defects and/or anomalies. The User must allow GiftedLab every facility to proceed with the observation of these defects or anomalies and to remedy them if necessary. The User shall refrain from intervening or having a third party intervene for this purpose.
- If GiftedLab confirms the defects and/or deficiencies, it will send instructions to the User on how to proceed after reviewing the complaint and, if necessary, will replace the product for which GiftedLab found the defect or deficiency.
- In the event that an exchange of the product is not possible, GiftedLab will be required to refund the User within fourteen days of receipt of the product. The refund will be made at the suggestion of GiftedLab by crediting the User bank account, with the User being able to choose another method of refund than the one offered.
