Obligations of Valmour :

      • Valmour agrees to deliver to the Customer, once the order has been con firmed, the products and services ordered within a delay which can vary according to the carrier's delays, the availability of the product and the realization of the ordered services. Valmour will do everything in its power to ensure that the parcel will leave within 48 hours following the order. This delay is given only for information ; no compensation can be asked of Valmour for not respecting the delay, within a limit of thirty working days in metroplitan France. Beyond this delay, the Customer has the right, in accordance with the law, to ask for a refund of his order and receive late interest calculated according to the lawful rate of interest.

      • If a delivery does not correspond to the order in quantity, and on condition that this error is indicated to the carrier and written on the delivery note, Valmour agrees to make a complementary free delivery for the quantity not delivered, except if the Customer wants to be reimbursed for the non-delivered quantity.

      • If a delivery does not correspond in quality (wrong or damaged products),the parcel must be refused.The carrier sees to returning the parcel to the shipper, and the order is immediately re-prepared and sent.

      • However, we draw the attention of our kind clientele to the fact that Valmour sells products, not packaging. The packaging is designed to protect the products, and can therefore get damaged if submitted to shock to the benefit of the product. They are called lost packaging because they are not intended for any decorative function once the contents are used. As a result, damaged packaging can not be compensated for in any way if the contents are not deteriorated and have been used as specified in its product sheet.

      • Under conditions provided by article L 114.1 of the Consumer Protection Code, the customer can denounce the contract by registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt in case of delivery delays of more than seven working days, except if the dispatching has occurred before the reception of this registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt. However, in case of impossibility to deliver all or part of the order within seven working days, Valmour agrees to inform the Customer by electronic mail and to follow his instructions.

Obligations of the Customer :


      • The Customer agrees to communicate with his order a valid address, a valid telephone number for the carrier and a valid e-mail address for the order confirmation.

      • The Customer agrees to pay any customs duties, taxes, or costs due under the legislation of the country in which delivery is made .

      • The responsability of Valmour ends when the products are handed over to the carrier. The products always travel at the risk and peril of the addressee. Any claim for error or shortage of the goods or deterioration will be accepted only provided that a reservation is made to the carrier on reception of the parcel and that it is confirmed by a registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt within 48 hours of reception.

      • The Customer is responsable for his own choice of products and of its adequacy concerning the use he intends to make of them, as well as of his telephone and mail expenses when he contacts Valmour.

      • If the Customer wants a precise delay for delivery, he must contact Valmour by electronic mail. Valmour will study his request and possibly give a positive answer.

      • The Customer must take all reasonables measures to take possession of his delivery. He agrees to have a letter box accessible to every carrier other than the Post Office for the deposit of a notification of delivery. If this is not possible, the Customer must indicate another valid delivery address such as a neighbour, or a shop. In the case of the return of a parcel due to unaccessibility of the letter box by the carrier and with no reply to letters or phone messages from the carrier, the parcel will be re-sent for a flat-rate cost of 15.00 € to the charge of the customer. In the case of difficult access to the delivery address, we recommend that you request delivery to a neighbour or a shop that you know well.
