8.5.3    Shipping and order receipt instructions

Upon receipt of your order, you must UNPACK and CHECK the product in front of the driver. Do not sign the delivery note under pressure from the driver(s). If they do not want you to unpack and check the product, please specify on the delivery note: "the driver did not allow me to unpack and check the contents of my order".

If you notice ANY DAMAGE to the packaging or the product, please contact our Quality Department at +33 (0)4 26 03 05 48 in the presence of the driver.

At the unpacking stage, there are 4 possible scenarios:

8.5.3.1. The cardboard box is damaged, but the product is intact and conforms to your expectations: you can accept the package.

8.5.3.2. The product is not in perfect condition, but you feel that the damage is minimal and want to keep the product in its delivered state: In that case, note your reservations clearly and precisely on the delivery slip. It is very important to enter the specific type and location of damage. For example, "pallet broken, base of the wine cabinet damaged" or "cardboard damaged on the left hand side, dent on the left side of the wine cabinet".

8.5.3.3. The product does not conform (scratches, signs of damage, broken or damaged items etc.) You must refuse the goods and describe the defects in a clear and precise manner on the delivery slip

It is very important to precisely note the condition of the packaging and the nature of any damage.

Ensure that you describe the defects in a clear and precise manner, for example:

• "Damage which can be seen" e.g. "torn cardboard box on the top" or "soggy cardboard on the bottom, 30 cm high", or "dent on the top left of the wine cabinet" etc..
• "Damage which can be heard": e.g."when moving the package, there was a sound of broken glass"
• "Damage which can be smelled": e.g. "a strong odour was coming from the package"

Never use terms like "the contents of the package will be verified later" or "packaging in perfect condition", which have no legal value and will not be accepetd in case of litigation.

8.5.3.4. A product is missing in the package: in this case, please specify what is missing and the exact quantity missing.

8.5.3.5. In all the cases listed above, do not sign the delivery slip without specifying the defects in writing. If defects are not specified or defect descriptions are unclear, this may give grounds to invalidate the dispute and it is possible that no action be taken on your case. In this case, please contact us on +33 (0)4.26.03.05.48 while you are in presence of the driver.

Please note: You must confirm any comments recorded on the delivery note in a letter to the distributor. The letter must be sent by recorded mail with proof of delivery within three days (excluding public holidays) of the delivery as defined in law (Article L133-3 of the Code of Commerce). You must also separately and at the same time inform our business, ACILYON Quality Service (by letter addressed to 150 rue Paul Bert, 69300 Lyon, France and by email to [email protected]) of your action taken in connection with the distributor.

• In the case of a delivery in a Collection Point: you must UNPACK and CHECK the product at the Collection Point before signing the delivery slip.

VERY IMPORTANT:

If you sign the delivery note WITHOUT writing the full details of any damage, it means you have received the prodcut in perfect condition, and no claims will be accepted!

In that case, you will have no recourse to resolve the dispute and any repair costs or the cost of a replacement product will be your responsibility.

Please note: Ensure you retain the original packaging, boxes, pallets, instructions etc for a minimum of 10 days following delivery.
