DEFECT NOTIFICATION / WARRANTY
Foolfashion warrants that the goods meet the quality standards described and that they are free from defects that affect their value or fitness for purpose.
After receipt of the goods, the customer must immediately check that the delivered product is correct, complete and free of damage. Any defects or damage must be reported to Foolfashion AG within [3] working days. Defects which could not be detected during a proper inspection and which were detected only after the fact must be reported in writing immediately after their identification. If you do not check the defect or report it immediately, the product is deemed to have been accepted and you are no longer entitled to make any claims against us.
The statutory warranty provisions for manufacturing, material or production defects apply. The warranty period begins on receipt of the product. Products that have been damaged through the fault of the purchaser are excluded from the warranty. Please note that the warranty is different for each product.
The customer's warranty rights are limited to [une livraison de remplacement ou correction des défauts/réfection à l‘exception de toute autre prétention, y compris la réduction ou le remplacement de dommages indirects ou consécutifs]. Foolfashion AG decides at its sole discretion whether to make a replacement delivery or to repair the product. Should subsequent delivery or repair fail, the customer is entitled to withdraw from the contract in the event of serious defects.
SWISS LAW
Repair: if the contract of sale (including the general terms and conditions) stipulates that the defective item must be repaired, the buyer's right to repair may therefore exclude other statutory rights (i.e. price reduction, exchange or rescission of contract). After repair, the buyer has a further two-year warranty against the repairer for the part(s) of the item repaired, in cases where the warranty has not been previously excluded by the repairer.
Dissatisfaction: The fact that you are no longer satisfied with your goods, even though they have no defects, is not covered by the legal warranty for defects. The law does not grant you the right to return goods on the grounds that they are no longer to your satisfaction. If the seller gives you the option of exchanging or taking back the goods, he does so as a commercial gesture, not because he is obliged to do so.
Exclusion: the warranty will not be given in the event of normal wear and tear, misuse or other external interventions (e.g. dropping, impact or humidity).
If you have a complaint or any other technical question, please contact us at the following address, quoting your order number and customer number, a description of the defects found and any other information we may need:
- Foolfashion SA, e-mail : hello@foolfashion.ch
The defective product must be returned to the above address of Foolfashion SA with a copy of the invoice and a detailed description of the defect. The return of a product is at the customer's expense and risk. Please keep the documents proving the return of your goods, otherwise we will not be able to process your claim in the event of a lost parcel.

The customer will send claims for defective goods and/or services and returns directly to Foolfashion, according to the terms of each. The customer will settle the details of the procedure with Foolfashion.
