- Hidden defects, defective products and application-related issues:
All products supplied by the seller benefit from the legal guarantee provided for in articles 1641 and following of the French Civil Code: A seller is bound to a warranty on account of the hidden defects of the thing sold which render it unfit for the use for which it was intended, or which so impair that use that the Buyer would not have acquired it, or would only have given a lesser price for it, had he known of them.
Stardustcolors is responsible for ensuring that the products are in conformity with the specifications and of the relevant characteristics deriving from the product description. Stardustcolors reserves the right to modify the product in order to incorporate the latest technological developments or changes in regulatory requirements.
If these changes have little or no impact on the use and properties of the product, they should not be explicitly disclosed to the Buyer. The goods must be inspected upon receipt by the Buyer for defect. Obvious defects must be notified in writing or by email within 6 days of receipt of the goods. The notification must describe the nature and extent of the damage in detail, including pictures and details of the order.
Stardustcolors shall not be liable for defects which are caused by improper handling or storage of goods, modifications caused by Buyer or third party handling, by persons not approved by Stardustcolors. Defective products must be retained for this purpose and, where applicable, they may be returned for examination, only if required to do so by Stardustcolors. If the defect is confirmed, or in the absence of audit by Stardustcolors.com, Stardustcolors is responsible for the defect and the defective product will be replaced free of charge. Other claims, such as labor or other materials costs, or cost for parts, etc., cannot be called by the Buyer as the Buyer has a duty to test the ability of the equipment for intended use before processing. To remedy to the defect or to make the delivery for replacement, StardustColors shall have a period of 30 days from receipt of the defective item. If StardustColors cannot find a solution to the defect within this period, StardustColors is required to inform the Buyer. The Buyer has the right, according to his choice, to request a refund of the item. Warranty claims expire after 12 months of receipt of the goods by the Buyer.
Considering that all the information concerning the products is clearly detailed on the website pages, that the Buyer knows the specific nature of certain special effects products which can therefore be more vulnerable to external conditions (temperatures, UV exposure ) and that StardustColors cannot control the conditions of the application (application method, respect of application instructions, use of products from other brands - Bases, primers and topcoats), StardustColors provides no guarantee with respect of good performance over time, or good resistance to external conditions for the products offered for sale.
Stardustcolors recommends the application of its products with StardustColors undercoats and topcoats,
and shall not be liable for any defect resulting from incompatibility of its products with products of another brand.
