(…)
 

(d) the supply of goods which are liable to deteriorate or expire rapidly;

(e) the supply of sealed good which are not suitable for return due to health protection or hygiene reasons and were unsealed after delivery”.

In this case, the Products commercialized on the Website may be food supplements which may quickly deteriorate or expire.

In any event, these types of Products may not be unpacked and returned as this would involve a significant risk for consumer hygiene and health protection.

In the event whereby the Client would nonetheless intend to exercise their right of withdrawal and that the type of the Products purchased enables this, the Client may decide to withdraw their Order, without any ground being required as justification and during a period of fourteen (14) full days as from the receipt of the Product.

The Client who intends to exercise their right of withdrawal must inform Slim36 at the latest within a period of fourteen (14) as mentioned above, by sending Slim36 the duly completed withdrawal form, by email or by post.

In the event whereby the Client receives several Products in separate packages, under a single Order, this withdrawal period shall begin as from the receipt by the Client of the last Product mentioned on the Order.

As soon as possible as from receipt of the withdrawal form by the Client, thereby materializing their intention to exercise their right of withdrawal, Slim36 shall acknowledge receipt to the Client by email.

The Client, without undue delay and at the latest, within fourteen (14) days as from the communication of his decision to withdraw to Slim36, shall return the Product(s) in question to Slim36 to the postal address mentioned on the withdrawal form and according to the terms mentioned on said withdrawal form and in the attached information letter.

The costs relating to the return of the Product(s) subject to withdrawal shall be exclusively assumed by the Client.

The exercise of the right of withdrawal must be made subject to the Client’s good faith, who, in particular, undertakes to ensure that the Product(s) are returned in proper condition (not spoiled, damaged, tarnished, unpacked), in their original packaging, accompanied by any accessories and documentation, which, in particular, implies that the Product(s) have not been subject to any improper use prior to their return.

The Product(s) returned should also be accompanied with the Order invoice to enable Slim36 to identify the Order and the relevant Client.

The Client shall be liable if the Product is returned damaged to Slim36 or in a condition rendering it unable to be resold or in a depreciated condition as a result of improper handling, beyond that necessary to identify the product type and/or characteristics.

In the event of receipt by Slim36 of Product(s), subject to the withdrawal, that do not enable Slim36 to proceed with the reimbursement, the latter shall inform the Client by email and return the Product(s) in question.

Upon exercise of the right of withdrawal under the conditions defined herein, Slim36 shall reimburse the Client for the price of the Product(s) subject to the withdrawal, including the delivery expenses.

The reimbursement to the Client for the right of withdrawal shall be made by the same means of payment as that used by the Client to purchase the Product(s), i.e., as a transfer to their bank account corresponding to the bank card that they used to make payment, which the Client accepts without reserve, at the latest within a period of fourteen (14) days as from receipt of the relevant Product(s) by Slim36.

C. Partial invalidity

In the event whereby one or several stipulations hereof were to be considered as null, void or declared as such in accordance with a law, regulation following a final court decision with res judicata, the other stipulations shall remain fully applicable, unless the invalid stipulation(s) were substantive and, accordingly, their removal would jeopardize the contractual equilibrium.

In the event of a difficulty in interpretation between one of the titles of the clauses and one of the clauses, the titles shall be declared non-existent.

XIII. Applicable law and dispute resolution
