Returns

At "Lily & the Apricot" we want you to be satisfied with your order. Therefore, we provide you with several methods to return an item that may not meet your needs or expectations. Possible cases of return or withdrawal:

  1. The product is wrong, has a defect or has been damaged during transport.:

We take great care to ensure that all our deliveries are made correctly. If, even so, you receive an incorrect item, please contact us as soon as possible to solve it. Before opening the product, please check that the packaging matches the one you ordered: colour, size, finish, etc.

On the other hand, if the products received have any defect or deterioration, we will respond to the lack of conformity as set out in the "Warranties" section of these conditions of sale.

If the product has been damaged during transport, you must inform us and, if possible, note the incident on the carrier's delivery note.

Products should be returned in a way that protects them, including in a protective box or bag. "Lily & the Apricot" provides the buyer with a transport company to collect the goods, free of charge. If you wish to return the goods with a transport company other than the one offered by "Lily & the Apricot", and the selected transport company offers higher rates, you will have to pay the difference in transport costs.

  1. Withdrawal:

We don't want you to keep anything you don't like, so you can return an item if it doesn't meet your expectations. Therefore, in accordance with the provisions of the LGDCU, and provided that you are a purchaser of an item for private use, you have the right of withdrawal, under which you can return the product, provided that it is not a digital product that has begun downloading.

The exercise of this right of withdrawal must be made within a maximum period of FOURTEEN (14) calendar days from receipt, notifying us of your decision to withdraw from the purchase (you can use the following model withdrawal form, if you wish). [ATTACH THE CANCELLATION FORM AT THE END OF THIS DOCUMENT].

In order to exercise this right, the product must be in perfect condition, preferably in its original packaging, as well as all the parts. In the event that the products do not arrive in perfect condition, do not include all parts and accessories, or are not in their original packaging, "Lily & the Apricot" reserves the right to pay a lower amount for the return, which will be notified to you.

The refund of the purchase price will be made once the condition of the goods has been checked, through the same means of payment used for the purchase and, in any case, within 14 calendar days of the reliable receipt of the cancellation request, provided that "Lily & the Apricot" manages the collection of the item. If you return the item via a carrier of your choice, the period of 14 days will begin to run from the time "Lily & the Apricot" has actual knowledge of the dispatch of the goods or, failing that, from receipt of the goods.

Return costs arising from the exercise of the right of withdrawal shall be borne by the purchaser.

The exercise of the right of withdrawal shall not be permitted, among other cases, in the following cases:

  • The supply of goods that are likely to deteriorate or expire quickly (usually those with a shelf life of less than one month).
  • The supply of sealed goods which are unsuitable for return for reasons of health protection or hygiene and which have been unsealed after delivery.

Warranties

Except for those which, by their nature, are excluded from the consumer goods warranty regulations, and provided that the buyer makes a particular use, all our products are guaranteed at national level, against manufacturing defects for three years from the date of purchase (or date of delivery, if this is later), or for one year if the article is not new.

We shall be liable for any lack of conformity, which the buyer must inform us of within two months of becoming aware of it.

If the defect or lack of conformity arises within the first 2 years of delivery of the item, it is presumed that the defect or lack of conformity already existed when the product was invoiced (or delivered, if at a later time), i.e. that there is a defect of origin or factory defect of the product, unless we can prove that the defect or lack of conformity is not of origin, but is due, for example, to misuse or poor maintenance by the buyer.

On the other hand, if the defect or lack of conformity arises after 2 years, the presumption that the defect comes from the factory does not exist.

In the event of a defective product, we may proceed, as appropriate, to repair, replace, reduce the price or terminate the contract, all of which will be completely free of charge for the purchaser (including transport costs, if any).

Defects and deterioration caused by external events, accidents, use not in accordance with our instructions or those of the manufacturer (incorrect use) or normal wear and tear are therefore excluded from the guarantee. Also, products that have been modified or repaired by the customer or any other person not authorised by "Lily & the Apricot", as well as products that are the subject of a specific contract. In such cases, the consumer shall be responsible for their repair.

By regulation, and in the absence of proof to the contrary, the products shall be deemed to be in conformity with the contract provided that they meet all of the following conditions:

  1. a) Conforms to the description given and possesses the qualities of the product that we have presented to the consumer and user in the form of a sample or model..
  2. b) are fit for the uses for which similar products are normally used.
  3. c) They have the usual quality and performance of a product of the same type which the consumer and user can reasonably expect, taking into account the nature of the product.
