However, if the ordered products are not delivered within 30 days of the indicated date of delivery, for any other reason, then the sale may be cancelled by written request from the Customer or the Seller. The sums paid by the Customer will then be refunded immediately.
The delivery is considered as effected upon delivery of the products ordered by the Seller to the carrier.
In the event of a special request from the Customer concerning the packaging or transport conditions of the ordered products, duly accepted in writing by the Seller, such costs incurred will be subject to an additional individual invoice, an estimate of which will be accepted in writing beforehand by the Customer.
The Customer has to verify the condition of the delivered products. A deadline of 48 hours applies from delivery to lodge a complaint for non-conformity or visible defect of the delivered products, and including all appropriate supporting documentation. After this deadline and in the absence of the above formalities, products will be considered as acceptable and fit for use and exempt from any visible defect and no complaint will be accepted by the Seller.

The Seller will replace any faulty product at his own expense and as soon as possible.
Whereby the visible defect or non conformity have been duly proved by the Customer.
ARTICLE 6 - Statutory Cancellation Rights
The customer has a statutory cancellation right which can be exercised, with no explanation required, within seven (7) working days from receipt of the products.
However, as AGATHA TORRES shoes are made-to-measure customised products, the statutory cancellation right does not apply to the actual shoes.
Please note that accessories must be returned in their original designer packaging. Accessories returned without their original boxes will not be accepted. It is up to the customer to retain proof of this return, by registered post or any other means providing a firm delivery, and the return delivery cost remains at the customer's expense.
On receipt of the parcel by agathatorres.com's team, a very strict quality control will be carried out. If the product is in perfect condition and if the previously quoted conditions were respected, agathatorres.com will proceed with the refund or exchange of one or more products.
ARTICLE 7 - Ownership transfer - Transfer of risks
Ownership of the products and the ensuing transfer of the risk of loss or deterioration of products is transferred from the Seller to the Customer upon full payment of the order by the Customer. Products thus travel at the risks and perils of the Customer who may lodge a complaint with the carrier according to current legal and statutory requirements in the event the products are damaged during transportation.
ARTICLE 8 - Responsibility of the Supplier - Guarantee
Products delivered by the Seller benefit, according to legal requirements, from a guarantee against any hidden defect resulting from a material, design or manufacturing defect affecting the delivered products and rendering them unfit for use, for a period of 10 days, from delivery date. Any possible interventions made by the Seller in relation to this guarantee will on no account extend the duration of the guarantee.
