Kimberfeel offers the buyer a 2-year warranty from the date of purchase of the product.
The legal guarantee covers non-conformity of the product and hidden defects in the product.
8.1. Non-conformity of the product
As a reminder, the product is compliant if it meets the following criteria:
Article L217-5 of the Consumer Code:
"- It is fit for the use normally expected of a good of the same type, taking into account, where appropriate, any provisions of European Union and national law and any technical standards or, in the absence of such technical standards, specific codes of conduct applicable to the sector concerned;
- It possesses the qualities that the seller presented to the consumer in the form of a sample or model, before the conclusion of the contract;
- It is delivered with all accessories, including packaging, and installation instructions that the consumer can legitimately expect;
- It corresponds to the quantity, quality and other characteristics, including in terms of durability, functionality, compatibility and safety, that the consumer can legitimately expect for goods of the same type, having regard to the nature of the good as well as to public statements made by the seller, by any person upstream in the chain of transactions, or by a person acting on their behalf, including in advertising or on labelling.
8.2. Hidden defects
The brand is also responsible for hidden defects as stipulated in Article 1641 of the French Civil Code:
"The seller is bound by the guarantee for hidden defects in the thing sold which make it unfit for the use for which it is intended, or which so diminish this use that the buyer would not have acquired it, or would have paid a lower price for it, if he had known of them."
Article 1644 of the French Civil Code:
"In the case of Articles 1641 and 1643, the buyer has the choice of returning the item and having the price refunded, or of keeping the item and having part of the price refunded."
The consumer benefiting from the guarantee can then either request the repair of his product or its replacement if repair is not possible, or a credit note, or a refund, or finally a reduction in the price of the product he keeps.
The following damages are not covered by the warranty: Normal wear and tear of the product, Damage resulting from storage of the product, Natural alteration of colors and materials over time, Damage resulting from washing or modification of the product, improper use of the product, Damage resulting from accidental impact or failure to follow the instructions for use.

He must follow the instructions for use that the seller gives regarding the product. The seller declines all responsibility for damage caused by the buyer's failure to follow the instructions for use of the product.
The company will not be liable for non-performance of the contract concluded in the event of stock shortage, force majeure, disruption or total or partial strike, in particular of postal services and means of transport and/or communications, flooding, fire.
10. Personal Data
SALAC, as the owner of the processing of the buyer's personal data and in accordance with the applicable legislation on the protection of personal data (GDPR "General Data Protection Regulation" - Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament) recognizes the importance of the protection of personal data.

11. Intellectual Property
All content such as texts, visuals, graphics, logo, pictograms, images, videos, photographs, are the property of Kimberfeel and are protected by copyright. The content of the Site may not be copied. It may not be downloaded, distributed or transmitted in any way without the prior written consent of Kimberfeel. Modification or use of the content for any other purpose would violate the intellectual property rights of the brand.
12. Applicable Law and Disputes
These Terms constitute the entire agreement between Seller and Buyer.
The provisions of these Terms are autonomous. If any court or competent authority declares any of them to be unlawful, the other provisions will remain in full force and effect. These Terms, as well as any dispute or claim arising out of or relating to them, their subject matter or their formation, are governed by and interpreted by French law.
If the consumer wishes to file a complaint, he/she may contact the seller by post or by e-mail. After discussions, the consumer who is not satisfied with the seller's response will have the possibility of filing a complaint with an appropriate out-of-court dispute resolution body or a mediator as stipulated in Article L612-1 of the Consumer Code, which reads as follows: "Any consumer has the right to have recourse free of charge to a consumer mediator with a view to the amicable resolution of the dispute between him/her and a professional. To this end, the professional guarantees the consumer effective recourse to a consumer mediation system.
The professional may set up his own consumer mediation system or offer the consumer recourse to any other consumer mediator meeting the requirements of this title.
Where there is a consumer mediator whose competence extends to all companies in a field of economic activity to which he belongs, the professional always allows the consumer to have recourse to him.
The terms and conditions under which the mediation process is implemented are specified by decree in the Council of State.
