Article 5: Terms of delivery
UWL cannot be held responsible for the consequences of late delivery by the Carrier. UWL may be exempted from all liability by proving that the non-performance or improper performance of the contract is attributable either to the consumer or to the unforeseeable and insurmountable act of a third party to the contract.
Products purchased on the UWL website can be delivered to the following countries: Metropolitan France, Corsica, Monaco. For other destinations, UWL will make a customized shipping proposal.
For tracking reasons, we are unable to deliver orders to military bases, hospitals and vacation centers.

   > Delivery times: Delivery may vary from 1 to 3 working days for metropolitan France, Corsica and Monaco, subject to product availability (in accordance with article 2). Public holidays do not count as working days.
Delivery may vary from 7 to 30 working days for foreign countries, subject to stock availability (in accordance with article 2). This is an average delivery time, depending on destination, shipping method and item availability.

   > Delivery methods: The product ordered is delivered by an express carrier, depending on the nature of the product ordered and to the address shown on the order form.

   > Delivery: You must check the conformity of the goods delivered at the time of delivery and before signing the delivery note (CARRIER). You must indicate on the delivery note, in the form of handwritten reservations accompanied by your signature, any anomaly concerning the delivery (damaged product, etc.). This verification is considered to have been carried out once the purchaser, or a person authorized by the purchaser, has signed the delivery note.

You must also confirm these reservations to the carrier by registered mail no later than three working days following receipt of the item(s) and send a copy of this letter to "UWL SURFSHOP- Service Client - 3 rue Albert Denis, ZAC des Fourneaux - 17690 ANGOULINS France".

If, at the time of delivery, the original packaging is damaged, torn or open, you must check the condition of the items. If they have been damaged, you must refuse the parcel and note a reservation on the delivery note (parcel refused because opened or damaged). We remind you that if you refuse the parcel, it will be returned directly to us, with no transport costs at your charge.
Article 6: Responsibilities
UWL shall not be held liable for non-performance of the contract due to force majeure, act of God, disruption or total or partial strike, in particular of postal services and means of transport and/or communications, flood or fire.
The choice and purchase of a product are the sole responsibility of the customer. The total or partial impossibility of using the products, notably due to equipment incompatibility, cannot give rise to any compensation, reimbursement or liability on the part of UWL.
In the event of non-delivery of an order or part of an order, you have a maximum of one year (from the date the order was placed) in which to make a complaint. After this period, we will not accept any claims.
Article 7: Right of withdrawal
> Withdrawal period: In accordance with article L.121-20 of the French Consumer Code, the consumer has a period of seven days to exercise his or her right of withdrawal without having to justify his or her reasons or pay any penalties, with the exception, where applicable, of return costs. The consumer may waive this period if he/she is unable to travel and at the same time requires an immediate service necessary to his/her living conditions.

The period referred to in the previous paragraph runs from receipt for goods or acceptance of the offer for services. Where the information specified in article L. 121-19 has not been provided, the period for exercising the right of withdrawal is extended to three months. However, when this information is provided within three months of receipt of the goods or acceptance of the offer, the thirty-day period referred to in the first paragraph begins to run.
If the seven-day period expires on a Saturday, Sunday or public holiday, it will be extended to the next working day. The product must be returned in good condition, with all accessories (e.g. manuals, assembly tools, warranties, etc.), in its original, unused packaging. The right of return cannot be exercised for items that can be copied (DVD, Video, etc.) unless they are returned to us on time and in their original packaging.

> ATTENTION: No right of return can be exercised for personalized or made-to-measure items. Any cancellation of an order can only be taken into consideration if it is received in writing before the start of the work. Any administrative and technical costs incurred are entirely at the customer's expense. The minimum amount of these costs, depending on the progress of the order, is €25 excluding VAT as of 01/01/2015.

> Return procedure : You are responsible for return shipping costs in the case of a retraction. UWL will cover the cost of returning a product that does not conform to the order. All you have to do is contact the UWL store and we will send you postage at our expense. This right of return can only be accepted for complete products, in their original condition (packaging, accessories, instructions, etc.) with a copy of the purchase invoice. Items returned incomplete, damaged or soiled by the customer will not be accepted for return or exchange.

We undertake to provide you with an exchange, credit note or refund within a maximum of 15 days of receipt of the products by us. No COD shipments will be accepted.
Article 8: Warranties and after-sales service
All our products come with a one-year manufacturer's warranty on parts and labor. In the event of a breakdown during the initial warranty period, repairs will be carried out free of charge by the national network of manufacturer-approved technical centers, stations or agencies. Special case of skateboards, surfboards, kitesurf boards, wakeboards, bodyboards and mountainboards: contact us for all warranty and after-sales service requests, which depend on the conditions of use of the equipment.
