Any request from the Customer to return the Products will be at the sole expense of the Customer.

In accordance with Article L. 133-3 of the Commercial Code, the extinction of the recourse of N'GO SHOES against the carrier, in case of damage or partial loss, takes place upon receipt of the items transported if within three (3) days thereafter, not including holidays, the consignee has not notified the carrier, by extrajudicial act or by registered letter, its protest with reasons.

8. Right of withdrawal
8.1. Modalities for exercising the right of withdrawal

The Customer must exercise his right of withdrawal within fourteen (14) calendar days following the date of receipt of the Product by himself or the third party designated by him.
In the case of an order comprising several Products delivered separately, the period runs from the date of receipt, by the Customer or the third party designated by him, of the last Product of the order concerned.
Before the expiry of this period, the Customer must inform N'GO SHOES of his intention to exercise his right of withdrawal either by the withdrawal form, available in Annex 1, which must be sent to N'GO SHOES by email or post, or directly from his Customer Account.

In the event that the Customer returns a soiled and/or deteriorated Product, it will not be refunded. In such a case, the Customer will have the option of having the said Product returned to him at his own expense.

In the case of a request for refund, N'GO SHOES reimburses the Customer the sums paid by the latter at the time of the order, including, where appropriate, the delivery costs, excluding any additional costs related to the choice of a more expensive method of delivery than the standard method offered by N'GO SHOES. The costs associated with the return of the Product remain the responsibility of the Customer.
In case of exercising the right of withdrawal on only part of the Products received, the delivery costs are refunded in proportion to the weight of the Products returned or, if the delivery costs have been calculated at a flat rate, they are not refunded to the Customer. The refund will be made as soon as possible and no later than the date of receipt by N'GO SHOES of the returned Product or receipt by N'GO SHOES of proof of shipment of the Product by the Customer, the date retained being the first of these facts.

Provisions relating to legal guarantees
Article L217-4 of the Consumer Code
The seller delivers a good in conformity with the contract and is responsible for the defects of conformity existing at the time of delivery.

Article L217-5 of the Consumer Code
The good is in conformity with the contract:
1° If it is fit for the purpose usually expected of a similar good and,
if necessary :
- if it corresponds to the description given by the seller and has the qualities that the seller presented to the buyer in the form of a sample or model;
- if it has the qualities that a buyer can legitimately expect in view of the public statements made by the seller, by the producer or by his representative, particularly in advertising or labelling;

This period runs from the date of the buyer's request for intervention or from the time the item in question is made available for repair, if this availability is subsequent to the request for intervention.
Article 1641 of the Civil Code
The seller is bound by the warranty for hidden defects of the thing sold which make it unfit for the purpose for which it was intended, or which so diminish this use that the buyer would not have acquired it, or would only have given a lower price, if he had known about them.

The action resulting from redhibitory defects must be brought by the buyer within two years from the discovery of the defect.
