Article 9 – Methods of product return by the member

Return of the product in case of non-compliance or exercise of the right of withdrawal

In order to fully benefit from the conditions of Article 6 “Compliance” and those of Article 8 “Right of Withdrawal”, the Member must return the product to PixelHeart. In order to simplify and facilitate the processing of returns of products that can be returned as well as their possible refund, it is strongly recommended that members follow the procedure described below:
– Make a return request via the “After Sales Service” section;
– For the application of Article 8 “Right of Withdrawal”, the article shall not be unsealed;
– The item must be properly protected, in its original packaging, in a perfect state of resale (undamaged, damaged or soiled) with any accessories, instructions for use and documentation;
– The item must be accompanied by the sales invoice so that the latter can identify the member (order number, surname, first name, address);
– The item must be sent by any shipment that allows the package to be tracked to the following address:

PixelHeart – Returns Service
33 Fongate Street
13006 Marseille France

If the Member chooses a method of return other than the procedure described above, and the Member cannot provide a tracking number if it is requested by the Return Service, PixelHeart may be entitled to refuse the refund requested in the event that the returned goods have not arrived. It is essential that PixelHeart can identify the Member who is making this return in order to be able to proceed with its refund. It is also necessary to attach to your returned product any document allowing you to be identified (copy of your order summary or copy of the invoice,…).

Article 10 – Payment

Payment for purchases is made by credit card, via a PayPal account or by bank transfer. The payment cards accepted to date are: CB, Visa, MasterCard.

For each order, a request to debit the Member’s bank account will be sent within 24 hours to his bank. In case of payment by PayPal, the amount of the purchases will be immediately debited from the PayPal account. The order will be considered effective after confirmation of the agreement of the bank payment centres. It is the member’s responsibility to save and print his payment certificate if he wishes to keep his bank and transaction details. Please note that orders by bank transfer will not be processed until funds have been received.

Article 11 – Security

The PixelHeart site is the subject of one of the most efficient security systems. It has not only adopted the SSL (Secure Socket Layer) encryption process but has also strengthened all scrambling and encryption processes in order to protect all sensitive data related to payment methods as effectively as possible.

Article 12 – Delivery

12.1. The products will be sent to the delivery address indicated by the member during the ordering process.

It is specified that, for technical and logistical reasons, the member who has chosen France as his country of residence at the time of registration may only be delivered in metropolitan France, Corsica (unless specifically mentioned at the time of sale), and Monaco.

For deliveries made in another EU country, two cases must be distinguished:

– The PixelHeart team will have pre-set the shipping costs and details corresponding to the member’s country of residence. In this case, the shipping costs will appear directly at the time of ordering. This is already the case for Belgium and Luxembourg.
– The PixelHeart team has not pre-set up the shipping costs and details for the member’s country of residence. In this case, the Member will have to wait for customer service to set these delivery charges. A request must therefore be made by the member. The Customer Service Department undertakes to provide a response within a maximum of 2 working days. The member who has chosen a country of the European Union as his country of residence at the time of registration, may only be delivered to that country unless the customer service department has given its express prior consent.

In the case of a sale, Members pay VAT in the Member State in which they make the purchase, and do not have to pay additional VAT when they return to their own Member State. The contribution to the logistical preparation and shipping costs is inclusive of VAT. All deliveries are announced by email. When shipping an order, pixelheart.eu / pixelheart.fr warns that an original invoice including delivery costs and VAT is available online on the Website under the heading “My Account”.
In the case of a partial shipment, the Member will be informed by e-mail of the shipment of the products present in the package shipped. The member will have the possibility to track the shipment of his order on the Website in the section “My Account/My Orders/Delivery Tracking”.

12.2. Delivery in France

The member must choose the place of delivery: at home, at the office, at a third person’s home, at the holiday destination. In the event of absence during delivery, at the address indicated by the member, a transit advice note is normally left in the mailbox: it is then possible to collect the package at a post office within 10 days of filing this advice. If the package is delivered by carrier, a notice is also left in the mailbox of the address indicated by the member when ordering. It will then be up to the member to contact the carrier to agree on a new delivery date. In the event of exceeding the above-mentioned deadlines, the package will be returned to PixelHeart. The Member Customer Service will then contact the member for a possible reshipment and without response from the member within a reasonable time will make a refund.

12.3. Delivery to another EU country

The Member will be delivered to the place of delivery chosen by the Member. In the event that the PixelHeart team has not previously set up the shipping costs and details corresponding to the member’s country of residence. It is agreed in article 12.1 that the Member must wait for customer service to set these delivery charges. The Customer Service undertakes to provide an answer within a maximum of 2 working days on the price of shipping costs and delivery terms.

12.5. Delivery time

The maximum delivery time is 30 working days from the order of the product, unless otherwise specified to the member before placing the order and before the final validation of the order. In this case, PixelHeart will provide the member with an estimated delivery date range. This period will be recalled in the summary of the order as well as in the delivery tracking section of the Website.

12.6. Delay in delivery

In such a case, the member may contact PixelHeart’s Member Customer Service whose contact details are indicated in the “Contact” section of the Website and by selecting the object corresponding to his request. The member has the right to cancel his order if it has not been delivered within seven working days of the delivery date indicated by PixelHeart, unless this delay in delivery is due to a case of force majeure within the meaning of the case law of the French courts. Within 10 business days of the Member’s request for cancellation, PixelHeart will make a request for a refund from the Member to his bank or PayPal account.

12.7. Partial delivery The member will be informed by email of the partial delivery of an order.

A second email will inform him/her of the delivery of the other products and/or services ordered.
Partial delivery of an order is only carried out in certain exceptional cases at PixelHeart’s discretion.

12.8. Absence of delivery

The member has the right to cancel his order if it has not been delivered within seven working days of the delivery date indicated by PixelHeart, unless this delay in delivery is due to a case of force majeure within the meaning of the case law of the French courts. Within 10 business days of the Member’s request for cancellation, PixelHeart will make a request for a refund from the Member to his bank or PayPal account.

If the member has not received his/her order and notes that he/she has not received delivery information due to a problem receiving the e-mail or tracking number, he/she has a period of 30 working days after placing the order (excluding pre-orders) to request cancellation or return of the order. If the time limit is exceeded, PixelHeart will not reissue a delivery or refund. The customer must keep informed of the status of his order, which can be consulted via his online account or by contacting us by email at [email protected].
In the case of an order with pre-ordered items, the 30-working-day period for taking action on a cancellation or return starts on the date when all the products in the order are available.

Article 13 – Guarantees

13.1.

Legal guarantee (1641 et seq. of the Civil Code)
