ARTICLE 6.

DELIVERY

6.1. Delivery conditions

The Products available on the Site can be delivered throughout the territory of the European Union.

UNIVERSKIN may, at its discretion, make successive partial deliveries.

Notwithstanding the retention of title clause stipulated in Article 5.3 above, delivery is deemed to have been made DAP (Delivered On Acceptance), at the delivery location indicated by the User. UNIVERSKIN bears the risk of loss or destruction of the Products until they are received by the User at the agreed delivery location. Unloading the Products is the sole responsibility of the User.

The information provided during the ordering process is binding on the User. UNIVERSKIN cannot be held responsible for any errors in the information provided that prevent delivery of the order. Any package returned to UNIVERSKIN due to an incorrect or incomplete delivery address will be reshipped at the User's expense.

UNIVERSKIN is released from its delivery obligation in the event of force majeure that prevents or renders impossible the execution of the order. In the event of such an occurrence or any other event beyond its control, the User will be notified by any means and the execution of the Order will be postponed. If the force majeure event were to last more than fifteen (15) business days, Article 12 below will apply.

6.2. Delivery time

Delivery times are specified when the order is placed. They are provided for informational purposes only. Delivery times begin from the order registration date indicated on the order confirmation email, subject to receipt of the order. UNIVERSKIN undertakes to make its best efforts to meet the order delivery deadlines, without being held liable for any delays or giving rise to any right to compensation or recourse for the User. In the event of a foreseeable delivery delay, UNIVERSKIN will inform the User by email of the expected delays.

6.3. Failure or delay in delivery

It is possible that a package may not arrive within the time frame indicated by the carrier.

The User has a maximum of five (5) working days from receipt of the email confirming the shipment of his package to declare it lost to UNIVERSKIN, by email to the following address: info@universkin.com .

If the User reports their package lost within the aforementioned timeframe, UNIVERSKIN will initiate a claim with the carrier. In this context, UNIVERSKIN may request the necessary documents from the User to complete the claim. UNIVERSKIN customer service will keep the User informed of the steps taken.

The response can be of two types: either the package is found and it is then returned to the User according to the normal procedure, or the package is declared lost by the carrier and UNIVERSKIN informs the User and proceeds with the refund (amount invoiced) or makes a second shipment at the User's choice.

6.4. Reception

Upon delivery of the Products, the User agrees to sign the delivery note that will be given to him by the carrier.

Upon receipt of the Products, the User must indicate in writing on the delivery note, which they will sign, any refusal to accept the Products or any reservations relating to loss, damage, missing products, apparent defects, or non-conformity of the delivered Products. The absence of a written reservation by the User on the delivery note covers any apparent defect and/or missing product and, consequently, any recourse against the carrier, unless the reservation is submitted in a documented and substantiated manner to UNIVERSKIN by registered letter with acknowledgment of receipt within three (3) calendar days of receipt.

In the event of an apparent defect, missing product, non-conformity or non-apparent defect, duly noted by UNIVERSKIN, the latter will, at the User's choice, either replace or refund the price of the Products, based on the invoiced price, to the exclusion of any other compensation.

If Products must be returned to UNIVERSKIN, the User will use the return slip sent by UNIVERSKIN in the email confirming its refusal to accept the Products and/or the defects or non-conformities noted by the User. This email will also include the return conditions that the User agrees to respect, the compensation method chosen by UNIVERSKIN (replacement, refund, or credit note), and the return address. Products will only be accepted for return if they are unopened and in their original condition (packaging, accessories, instructions, etc.). Return shipping costs are borne by UNIVERSKIN. The User acknowledges and accepts that UNIVERSKIN may refuse to refund the User the price of returned Products if the Products are returned damaged (other than damage caused by a defect noted by the User that prompted the return), opened, and/or expired, thus preventing their restocking.
