The Buyer benefits from a right to cancel the contract, that may be exercised without stating any particular reason by returning the ordered Goods to the Company.
• Cancellation delay
The Buyer must exercise the cancellation right within fourteen (14) days after shipment of the Goods.
If the Buyer has passed an Order for several Goods shipped separately, the Cancellation period starts at the moment the last one is received.

• Cancellation declaration
The Buyer must send to the Company the duly filled cancellation form that was provided with the Order’s invoice, or any other unambiguous statement expressing a will to cancel the Order, to: bonjour@guru-mtp.fr or Société GURU MTP – Hameau de Cremal 30269 CORCONNE.

The Buyer may be held liable for any depreciation of the Goods resulting from manipulation beyond that necessary to establish the nature, features and condition of the Goods.

For any correspondence with the Company, the Buyer will use the following contact information ; bonjour@guru-mtp.fr or Société GURU MTP – Hameau de Cremal 30260 CORCONNE.
• Conformity
The Company will ship a product in conformity with the contract and without any conformity defects (including those resulting from packaging) at the moment of the delivery, meaning a product fit for the expected use of Goods of a similar kind, and possessing the qualities presented at the time of the sale.
The Buyer will not benefit from the legal guarantee of conformity unless he makes use of it within two years after receiving the Goods. Conformity defects appearing within twenty-four months after the shipment of the Goods are presumed to exist at the time of the shipping, unless proven otherwise.
In the case where conformity defects would appear, the Buyer may choose between repair or replacement of the Goods, unless said choice would entail manifestly disproportionate costs to the Company with respect to the Goods’ price or the defect’s importance.
If repair or replacement of the Goods were not possible, the Buyer may send the Goods back and have the full price refunded, or keep the Goods and receive a partial refund.
The sale may not be cancelled, however, if the conformity defect is minor.
The conformity guarantee holds no cost for the Buyer.
• Hidden defects
The company must respect the guarantee covering hidden defects present in the Goods that would render them unsuitable for their intended use, or that would diminish it in such a way that the client would not have acquired said Goods, or would have done so for a lesser price, if the Buyer had known them.
To benefit from this guarantee, the Buyer must exercise it within two (2) years starting from the discovery of the defect, and prove that he fills the conditions for it by showing proof of the defect.
The Buyer may choose between sending the Goods back and having the full price refunded or keeping the Goods and receiving a partial refund.
9 – LIABILITY AND FORCE MAJEURE
The Company does everything in its power to satisfy its Customers and to ensure the shipment of the Goods to the Customers. It is liable for any direct and foreseeable damage at the moment the sales contract is concluded.
The Company is not liable for any damages not resulting from a failure to perform its obligations.
The same applies in the case of a Force Majeure event, defined as an event outside the Company’s reasonable control that may not have been reasonably anticipated at the time of the contract’s conclusion, whose effects may not have been avoidable by taking the appropriate measures, and preventing it from performing its obligations towards the obligor.
The Company will inform the Buyer of the existence of such a Force Majeure event within seven (7) days of its happening.
