Article 1.2: Final acceptance of the T&Cs

The CUSTOMER acknowledges having carefully read these General Conditions.

Before placing your order, the CUSTOMER declares to have fully read these general terms and conditions of sale and accepts them. Any order by the CUSTOMER therefore implies acceptance of all of these general terms and conditions.

By registering on the Site, the CUSTOMER confirms having read the General Conditions and accepts them, making him contractually bound by the terms of these General Conditions.

Article 1.3 Modification of the General Conditions of Sale

BED REPUBLIC reserves the right to modify its general terms and conditions of sale at any time. The applicable general terms and conditions of sale are those in force on the date of the order by the CUSTOMER.

BED REPUBLIC's rights and remedies under these Terms and any other applicable agreement between CUSTOMER and BED REPUBLIC shall be cumulative, and the exercise of any such right or remedy shall not limit BED REPUBLIC's right to exercise any other right or remedy.

The absence of technical data or instructions cannot be the subject of a refusal or withdrawal of the sale and BED REPUBLIC cannot be held liable, including in the event of an assembly error.

The perfect representation of the products on the SITE cannot be guaranteed, in particular due to differences in the rendering of colors or materials on the internet browsing software and/or the viewing media used.

ARTICLE 6: ORDER

Article 6.1: Order Process

Prior to their first order, the CUSTOMER agrees to create a CUSTOMER account on BED REPUBLIC by providing certain information enabling the management of the order and delivery, including:

His first and last name

His or her complete and detailed postal address(es)

Their valid email address required to confirm the order

His or her phone number(s).

Essential information necessary for the delivery of the product.

All of this information is protected by a personal password entered by the CUSTOMER himself and modifiable at will by him alone.

The CUSTOMER's order is carried out in the following 5 steps: cited in the following articles 6.1.XXX.

Article 6.1.1: Placing the order

This step consists of the validation by the CUSTOMER of the items (references and quantities) chosen for their order and added to the basket.

The CUSTOMER can then enter a promotional code allowing them to benefit from reductions, delete one or more products or modify the quantity.

Article 6.1.2: Contact details

It consists of the CLIENT entering the identification elements and information necessary for the smooth running of the order, namely in particular the following elements: first name, last name, full delivery details, billing address, etc.

ATTENTION: All orders will be delivered to the address stipulated when identifying yourself on BED REPUBLIC.

The CUSTOMER must verify the accuracy and conformity of the information provided regarding the delivery address. In the event that the CUSTOMER wishes a delivery different from that proposed when entering your administrative data, the CUSTOMER must modify or add a new delivery address and check that it has been selected when placing the order. If the CUSTOMER notices an error, please contact the BED REPUBLIC teams as soon as possible by email at contact@bedrepublic.fr using the order confirmation email, in order to request that the typographical error be corrected. Otherwise, BED REPUBLIC cannot be held responsible for the errors given.

In the event of a delivery error and for any CUSTOMER error, the amount of the reshipment will be borne by the CUSTOMER.

To do this, the CUSTOMER must create an “account” and choose a username and password.
If the CUSTOMER has already ordered on the BED REPUBLIC SITE, these identification and information elements will have been recorded; he will then have to recall his account (by entering his username and password); once connected to his account, the CUSTOMER can modify, if necessary, his contact details.

The CUSTOMER shall refrain from any disruption of the WEBSITES and from the use of any accessible information other than its intended use on our platform. Any manipulation of our WEBSITE in order to fraudulently obtain money or any other advantage at the expense of BED REPUBLIC or any other user will result in legal action and loss of access to the WEBSITES.

Article 6.1.3: Choice of delivery method

This step specifies the delivery times and methods. Orders are currently delivered by several carriers. The choice of carrier depends on the products added to the basket.

Delivery will be made to the address indicated by the buyer when ordering on the WEBSITE. The products ordered may be subject to multiple deliveries (not guaranteed at one time).

Depending on the selected carrier and the country of destination of the delivery, in the majority of cases and depending on the service provider and the nature of the product, the delivery service provider may contact the CUSTOMER by multiple means (email, telephone, text message, application, etc.) to mutually agree on the delivery dates and time slots. The buyer undertakes to be present on the date, time and place agreed for the delivery, if this is the case.

Please note that this appointment is not obligatory, depending on the nature of the products ordered, but also the transport provider chosen, and cannot constitute a cancellation of the contract in the event of unannounced delivery.

If the CUSTOMER is absent during delivery, a delivery notice will be left, the carrier will propose a new appointment for delivery or the procedure to collect the package. Cancellation of the order when the delivery has failed twice, and within a maximum handling period of 15 days of availability at a collection point geographically close to the CUSTOMER and in the event of non-handling by the CUSTOMER, means that the CUSTOMER authorizes BED REPUBLIC to keep the delivery costs; additional costs may or will be applied depending on the case.

Article 6.1.4: Payment

When the CUSTOMER clicks on the “Validate” button after the order process, the CUSTOMER declares that they accept the order and all of these General Conditions of Sale fully and without reservation.

BED REPUBLIC reserves the right not to accept any order, even if this procedure is followed, in the event of suspected fraud or in the event of non-receipt of funds into its bank account.

ARTICLE 8: PAYMENT TERMS

Article 8.1: Secure payment

The BED REPUBLIC company offers you several types of payments on its online store, all 100% secure.

In order to provide the CUSTOMER with the best security guarantees for the payment of their online purchases on the SITE, BED REPUBLIC has chosen the most well-known and secure payment organizations:

PayPal, Shopify Payment and Stripe.

These companies ensure flawless security thanks to proven cryptography techniques, meaning that all sensitive information is encrypted and only these banks can process it and ensure the link between the bank and BED REPUBLIC.

No credit card number is stored at BED REPUBLIC.

Article 8.2: Means of payment

The CUSTOMER undertakes to read the specific terms and conditions of sale and use of the online payment service providers and credit institutions before using the corresponding payment and credit services on the respective SITE.

Payment by bank card (CB, Visa, MasterCard)

This type of payment is completely secure via BED REPUBLIC's payment providers. This type of payment is recommended and strongly recommended due to its high levels of security. The CUSTOMER's bank details are encrypted using the TLS (Transport Layer Security) protocol, formerly SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) used by most web browsers. You can tell that a transaction is encrypted when a key or a closed padlock appears in the lower corner of the screen and on the left in the address bar, the address begins with https://...

Information never passes through the network in clear text. Payment is made directly to the payment organization on its page. The additional identification "Secure Code" and/or "Verified by Visa" provides the CUSTOMER with even more security against possible fraud or attempted fraud. This security is necessarily carried out on the secure server of the CUSTOMER's bank, via several solutions personal to the CUSTOMER; any negative response from this identification will not allow you to validate your order.

The CUSTOMER pays immediately during the ordering process by entering their bank card details. The frameworks processing bank card data are provided by Stripe , PayPal and Shopify Payments are approved by the Prudential Control and Resolution Authority as an electronic money institution.

Payment by PayPal

The CUSTOMER pays directly via their PayPal account, which they must have previously established.

When submitting your order, the CUSTOMER will be redirected to PayPal to authorize the payment of the order value. PayPal is duly authorized in Luxembourg as a bank (or "credit institution" in legal terms). Please accept the terms of use of this organization.

Payment by Bank Transfer

Payments by bank transfer are made in full upon ordering. After validation of the order, the CUSTOMER has approximately 7 days to send your transfer to the BED REPUBLIC bank account, the references of which will be communicated to the CUSTOMER on the order confirmation page as well as by email. The order will be validated by BED REPUBLIC services upon receipt of the CUSTOMER payment. After this period, the order will be cancelled.

In case of payment by transfer, the delivery times indicated when ordering may be extended.

Until BED REPUBLIC receives full payment from the CUSTOMER, the products ordered are not reserved. BED REPUBLIC cannot therefore be held responsible for any shortages due to the time taken to receive the funds.

Deferred payment:

Not available on date.

Article 8.3: Terms of exercise and cancellation

Payment should be made by indicating the order reference concerned, and taking into account the validation period involved.

All payments are made by default in euros (€), and it is the CUSTOMER's responsibility to bear, at their own expense, any transaction and exchange fees via the various payment methods offered, in the event of payment in another currency. Any payment received in another currency, without the agreement of BED REPUBLIC, may result in a refusal of the order.

The CUSTOMER agrees to receive invoices and credit notes exclusively in electronic form. It is the CUSTOMER's responsibility to save and print the payment invoice if he wants to keep the details of the transaction.

For each order, BED REPUBLIC reserves the right not to offer certain payment methods depending on the delivery address, a discrepancy with the delivery and billing address, the value of the goods in the order or due to other objective criteria.

BED REPUBLIC retains full ownership of all products sold until full payment, including all applicable fees, taxes and mandatory contributions, is received.

ARTICLE 9: SHIPPING AND DELIVERY CONDITIONS

This slot is imposed by the carrier and the CUSTOMER must make themselves available.

Making an appointment is not obligatory, depending on the nature of the product ordered, the delivery method chosen and the carrier used, and cannot constitute a cancellation of the contract in the event of unannounced delivery.

In the event of the absence of the CUSTOMER at the address indicated on the day of delivery, or in the event of an error made by the CUSTOMER in indicating the delivery address, the costs incurred by a new delivery service shall be borne by the CUSTOMER.

Article 9.4.1 – Economical door-to-door delivery

Delivery carried out by a specialized carrier. The delivery of the products is carried out at the bottom of your house, at the foot of the truck or at the doorstep, depending on the nature of your access.

Before placing an order, the CUSTOMER must check that he can receive the order himself, be authorized to sign the delivery note, not obstruct or leave the order on the public highway and move the products received by his own means to his home.

After the order has been shipped, depending on the product and volume, the carrier mandated by BED REPUBLIC may - without obligation or obligation of result - contact the CUSTOMER by several means of communication provided: emails, telephone, text messages, etc. to arrange a delivery appointment, and or inform the CUSTOMER of their next delivery. The information will be provided by BED REPUBLIC in advance, by shipping notification. In the event of no contact or notification by the carrier, the shipping information provided by BED REPUBLIC will be considered as the CUSTOMER contact for delivery planning.

Article 9.4.2 – Comfort delivery to the desired room

Delivery carried out by a specialized carrier. The delivery of the products is made to the CUSTOMER's home, in the room of their choice.

After the order has been shipped, the carrier mandated by BED REPUBLIC will contact the CUSTOMER to arrange a delivery day: the appointment slot is a full day. In the event of the CUSTOMER's absence at the appointment, the costs incurred by a new delivery would be at their expense. Within 48 hours before delivery, the CUSTOMER will be able to track the progress of their package using a link sent.

When making an appointment, the CUSTOMER will inform the carrier of all the arrangements for access to his home. Beforehand, the CUSTOMER will have checked the size of the products to allow their passage without difficulty.

In the event that it is necessary to rent a lift or a basket, the additional costs will be borne by the CUSTOMER and invoiced by the carrier in addition to the sale price and the delivery costs mentioned on the SITE. In the event that 4 delivery people need to pass through (stairs too narrow, road inaccessible for a truck, etc.), the additional cost will be borne by the CUSTOMER.

As soon as the order is shipped and before delivery, the CUSTOMER will be able to track the progress of their package using a link sent.

Article 9.5 – Delivery times

Estimated delivery times are indicated on each product sheet. They depend in particular on the availability of the products and their stage of production, mentioned in an estimated manner.

For pre-ordered products this period is extended, you must then take into account the estimated delivery date indicated on each product sheet.

In the event of a delivery problem, BED REPUBLIC undertakes to make its best efforts to keep the CUSTOMER informed of any delay in delivery. BED REPUBLIC shall not be held liable if the delivery delay is due to a case of force majeure.

When the CUSTOMER orders several products at the same time and these have different shipping times, the shipping time of the order is based on the longest time.

In the case of a multi-product order, depending on the location of the different items ordered, delivery may be made in several times. Receipt in several times, on staggered dates (not grouped) of all the items in the order is a very common point in the activity of delivery of products sold by BED REPUBLIC, and cannot lead to a partial or complete cancellation of the order for this reason.

Late receipt of the order or part of the order (out of time) cannot be considered as a reason for cancellation.

Article 9.6 - Steps to follow upon delivery

IMPORTANT: In order to assert their warranty and return rights, the CUSTOMER undertakes to carefully check the condition of the goods (packaging and product) in the presence of the delivery personnel, before signing the delivery note .

THE CUSTOMER MUST IMPERATIVELY CHECK:

- The correct correspondence of the products ordered with those indicated on the delivery note.

Please note that the internal references to the supplier BED REPUBLIC cannot be read by the CUSTOMER, in order to refuse his order. It is important to note that the majority of our shipments are indicated as NESTA HOME or BED REPUBLIC, and this will be taken as proof on the delivery reference.

It is important to confirm the nature of the product ordered, in order to validate its refusal or cancellation.

- The number of packages (it must correspond to that indicated on the delivery note)

- The condition of the packages: the slightest shock, the slightest anomaly must be reported by the CUSTOMER on the delivery note, in the REMARKS section. If a package is damaged, the CUSTOMER MUST open it in front of the delivery person to check the condition of the product. If the delivery person refuses to wait, the CUSTOMER must indicate this on the delivery note.

Except in the case of defective products, the products are deemed to have been accepted by the CUSTOMER and to comply with the order, unless the CUSTOMER has issued written reservations to the carrier under the conditions provided for by law:

- Appropriate reservation(s) mentioned on the delivery note

- Confirmation of said reservations by registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt addressed to the carrier within 3 days of receipt (art. L. 133-3 of the Commercial Code).

PLEASE NOTE: The words “subject to unpacking” are not acceptable with our carriers.

Article 9.7 – Mandatory delivery information

IMPORTANT: THE CUSTOMER MUST ALWAYS and SYSTEMATICALLY LEAVE a comment on the delivery note (even to confirm its correct receipt) in order to be able to turn to the transport provider in the event of a dispute.

WITHOUT RESERVATIONS and COMMENTS on the delivery note, BED REPUBLIC will be unable to open a dispute file with the carrier in the event of a dispute, and the CUSTOMER claim will then be unfeasible, failing which the delivery person cannot be held liable.

This may result in BED REPUBLIC refusing to take charge of the CLIENT dispute.

According to article 138-4 of the Consumer Code which provides that "Any risk of loss or damage to the goods is transferred to the consumer at the time when the latter or a third party designated by him, and other than the carrier proposed by the professional, takes physical possession of these goods.", it is the CUSTOMER's responsibility to check the products delivered upon receipt.

If the delivery is correct: the CUSTOMER must state “Good condition” or “OK” on the delivery note.

If the delivery is not compliant: the CUSTOMER must clearly mention the problem encountered on the delivery note and refuse the package(s) if the anomaly is visible. The CUSTOMER must then contact BED REPUBLIC within 48 hours to find a solution to their problem.

In the absence of specific reservations made by the CUSTOMER, the delivery will be presumed to be compliant. No claim can therefore be accepted if the CUSTOMER does not scrupulously follow this procedure.

If the CUSTOMER has nevertheless kept the product even though it was damaged upon delivery, he must describe in detail on the delivery note the damage encountered and send a registered letter (by post or email) to the carriers within 48 hours of delivery to explain the delivery problem encountered. In this way, immediate contact with our CUSTOMER service, without delay, is imperative: contact@bedrepublic.fr clearly explaining the problem encountered, with photos and videos to support the file. BED REPUBLIC will do its best to support the CUSTOMER in any claim he may have against the service provider.

Article 9.8 – Liability

BED REPUBLIC reserves the right to choose the carrier and guarantees the proper delivery of the products without prejudice to its right of recourse against any service provider having intervened. However, BED REPUBLIC may exonerate itself from all or part of its liability by providing proof that the non-performance or poor performance of the contract is attributable either to the CUSTOMER or to the unforeseeable and insurmountable act of a third party to the contract or to a case of force majeure.

The risks of loss or damage to the Products are transferred to the CUSTOMER at the time when he, or a third party designated by him, takes physical possession of the Product(s) without distinction according to its/their nature.

The Product, which is delivered to the CUSTOMER by a carrier chosen by BED REPUBLIC, travels at the risk and peril of BED REPUBLIC within the framework of the normal application contract (excluding specific sales contracts). The Product, which is delivered to the CUSTOMER by a carrier chosen by itself, travels at the risk and peril of the CUSTOMER from the delivery of the goods to the carrier (contract or specific request).

It is not BED REPUBLIC's responsibility to ensure that the person accepting delivery at the address provided by the CUSTOMER is the person holding the order (or is someone authorized by the CUSTOMER to accept delivery of the products). The products are delivered only by the partner carrier who makes the delivery on behalf of BED REPUBLIC to the address indicated when you place your order.

BED REPUBLIC is not responsible for delays that occur due to circumstances beyond our control.

In the unlikely event that, after the conclusion of the contract for the purchase of the Products, BED REPUBLIC is unable to deliver the order (or part thereof) and BED REPUBLIC is not responsible for this, BED REPUBLIC is entitled to terminate the contract for the purchase of the Products in question. In such a case, BED REPUBLIC will inform as soon as reasonably possible and reimburse the CUSTOMER for all payments made.

BED REPUBLIC will do its best to support the CLIENT in any claim it may have against the service provider.

For logistical reasons, BED REPUBLIC reserves the right to split shipments, and cannot be subject to refusal/cancellation of an order by the CUSTOMER in the event of partial, part, or complete and final receipt of the order.

Article 9.9 – Partner resale and contact

Any order of our products via products via RESELLERS: reseller, distributors, agents, stores, partner stores and partner online sales SITES, marketplace, private sales, discounters or clearance sellers, must be managed by the CUSTOMER service of the said "RESELLER", who must be contacted in advance, and who will transfer the file for processing to BED REPUBLIC. The CUSTOMER must therefore exchange/communicate for any type of request, with the company in charge of the sale called the "RESELLER", and not directly with the company BED REPUBLIC.

Contact is between the RESELLER and BED REPUBLIC only. The RESELLER will be the contact to whom BED REPUBLIC will respond.

The INDIRECT CUSTOMER having contracted BED REPUBLIC products through these different channels, must also contact the RESELLER CUSTOMER service for any questions and information: order tracking, after-sales service management, warranty, returns, etc.

Direct contact from BED REPUBLIC without going through the RESELLER will result in a systematic refusal of processing.

ARTICLE 10: RETURNS AND WARRANTY

The legal guarantee offered by default on the entire BED REPUBLIC product catalog is 2 years.

BED REPUBLIC offers you a default legal guarantee of 2 years + extended coverage of up to 7 years on a selection of products and/or by subscribing to an additional warranty service or by specific mention specific to the product, which covers all defects noted during the warranty period, caused by the use of defective materials, faulty design or inappropriate manufacturing.

Extended warranty conditions may be offered, depending on the product or range, but also the subscription of additional paid insurance.

Article 10.1 - Prerequisites and verification procedures

Any product defect must be reported immediately after it appears.

BED REPUBLIC products are subject to repair or replacement under warranty, the original warranty period cannot be extended, except in the case of warranty extension or specific mention of warranty extension, outside the legal period of 2 years.

The warranty applies to the product purchased in the territory where BED REPUBLIC officiates its sales. The BED REPUBLIC warranty applies only to the territory defined by BED REPUBLIC, listed in the general conditions of sale. For so-called "specific" areas, the provision may generate additional costs to be borne by the CUSTOMER, or even its inability to guarantee the product (including within the legal period of 2 years).

Depending on the nature of the products, after purchasing a new product to replace an old one, there may be a period of adaptation to the BED REPUBLIC product, i.e. individual feelings of comfort or discomfort when using the product. The same applies to the smell of new products, which disappears after a few days, which can be accelerated by airing the product. It is recommended to air the product when putting it into service, but also during its use as many times as possible.

The CUSTOMER must not remove the manufacturer's sticker, the brand or the BED REPUBLIC label with the product characteristics, and/or the barcode and/or the production batch controller data. Complaints regarding products not bearing these manufacturer / BED REPUBLIC identification labels will not be accepted.

Replacement of the defective product does not extend the initial warranty period.

The application of the guarantee requires a prior investigation: elements necessary for the investigation must be provided. In the event of absence or inability to provide these elements, the processing of the guarantee file cannot be carried out.

Article 10.2 - Procedure for verifying defects to activate the warranty.

The CUSTOMER is required to check the condition of the packaging and the conformity of the product delivered.

In order to avoid any investigation and prosecution, we invite the CUSTOMER to make complaints to BED REPUBLIC concerning a shortage, defect or non-conformity of the goods delivered (noted on the Delivery Note) immediately and within a maximum of 48 hours after delivery of the goods in the event of apparent defects, by sending an email Contact Form explaining precisely the problem(s) encountered, attaching the following elements:

- Overall photographs of your product;

- Precise photographs of the problem(s) encountered;
- Photographs of your annotated delivery note.

- (optional but highly recommended): a video explaining and showing the problem in its entirety, with maximum detail and the elements indicated below. The video does not subscribe to the need for photography requested above, which remains mandatory.

- any other device that can clearly indicate the problem and through the certainty of the verifiable elements sent.

BED REPUBLIC reserves the right to request additional elements and evidence in order to support the evidence already received.

Any refusal to send items or missing items in the analysis of the file may result in a refusal of support.

In any event, the CUSTOMER benefits from the legal guarantees of conformity of the goods to the contract in accordance with articles L217-4 to L217-14 CI Consumer Code, as well as the guarantee of hidden defects of articles 1641 and 1648 paragraph 1 of the Civil Code. The provisions of this article do not prevent the CUSTOMER from benefiting from the right of withdrawal provided for in article 7 above.

Article L217-10 – Consumer Code

If repair and replacement of the goods are impossible, the buyer may return the goods and have the price refunded or keep the goods and have part of the price refunded.

Article L217-11 – Consumer Code
The application of the provisions of Articles L. 217-9 and L. 217-10 takes place without any cost to the buyer.

These guarantees benefit the successive owners of the building. There will be no reason to cancel the sale or reduce the price if the seller undertakes to repair the damage defined in Articles 1792, 1792-1 and 1792-2 of this Code and to assume the guarantee provided for in Article 1792-3.

Article 1647 – Civil Code
If the thing which had defects has perished as a result of its poor quality, the loss is for the seller, who will be liable to the buyer for the restitution of the price and for the other compensation explained in the two preceding articles.

Visible defects, upon delivery and within a maximum of 48 hours or within the first week of use. Beyond this period, any warranty for manufacturing defects will be less legitimate and cannot be the subject of a warranty claim.

Normal wear and tear of the product or its peripherals (cover on a pillow, box spring on a mattress, etc.) as well as situations likely to cause deterioration or damage;

The normal decrease in the firmness of the materials does not affect the general qualities of the product.

Category Mattress, Mattress Covers and Protectors/Mattress Toppers:

The warranty does not cover: exclusions specific to this category

Products that have been misused, such as using an unsuitable bed base or having their characteristics modified.

A mattress that has not regained its stated characteristics after unpacking: mattresses that do not re-inflate cannot be reported more than 30 days after delivery.

Natural subsidence of materials, i.e. subsidence not exceeding 2 cm in height.

A height difference of 2 cm compared to the height described, by nature the materials with “a movement” and their thicknesses which can be variable.

Spring mattresses: Spring and pocket spring mattresses may leave marks or creases on the mattress, which cannot be considered defects as they do not affect comfort.

Natural fiber mattresses: These fibers can cause creases in the fabric or clumps of materials due to their natural nature, and are not covered by the warranty. This is why it is recommended to rotate the mattress at least once every six months.

Important to consider in the warranty exclusion:

Mattresses are suitable for all types of beds, but it is best if they rest on a flat surface that provides support and good air circulation, to maintain the entire warranty period. The use of flexible frames or aerated bases, which naturally extend the life of the mattress, is recommended. The support used has a significant impact on the durability and comfort of use, and therefore on the product warranty.

Mattress covers containing foam materials inside should be given special attention to their washing, clearly following the recommendations of BED REPUBLIC. Dry cleaning or washing with water is recommended, provided that the washing temperature does not exceed 30°C or the temperature indicated on the product label.

Mattress covers and mattress toppers should not be wrung out or mechanically dried at high temperatures due to the specificity of foam materials and fabrics. Failure to properly attach to the mattress can cause excessive moisture penetration, which can cause permanent damage to the foam material. As a result, this can lead to a loss of firmness and softening of the material, thereby losing its properties. It is recommended to use BED REPUBLIC protectors or high-quality protectors with membranes that provide protection and air circulation, which will effectively increase the hygiene of the mattress, reduce the need for pilling of the cover and ensure a proper microclimate during sleep. It is not recommended to use cheap terry cloth sheets.

A product compressed or mechanically emptied of air in the packaging, delivered vacuum-packed or wrapped, requires up to a maximum of 30 days to return to its so-called "initial" shape, and cannot be the subject of a warranty application request only a few days after opening: the most well-known case being mattresses, which need several days to return to their initial shapes and heights as indicated on the technical sheet. It is therefore normal to wait, without having to activate the warranty immediately. Beyond 30 days if the characteristics are not present, please contact BED REPUBLIC customer service.

Bed linen, bath linen:

The warranty does not cover:

Any product that no longer has the original labels present on the new product.

Any product showing signs of use.

Any product washed or cleaned at least once.

Any product not returned in its original packaging, correctly and carefully stored.

Article 10.7: Returns

Article 10.7.1: Return conditions

The CUSTOMER must return the product(s) in the same condition in which they were received, and with all packaging, accessories and instructions (even if the product(s) has/have been unpacked), as soon as possible and at the latest within 14 days from notification of the decision to withdraw from this contract, to the address provided by the BED REPUBLIC CUSTOMER Service.

The cost of returning the product(s) is borne by the CUSTOMER, it is the CUSTOMER's responsibility to choose the carrier who will take charge of the return.

A systematic report of the withdrawal, within the time limits and as quickly as possible, must be made to the BED REPUBLIC services, otherwise the withdrawal may be considered as not supported, or even cancelled.

For any return of goods, the CUSTOMER must have obtained prior agreement from the BED REPUBLIC CUSTOMER service to return the order.

Otherwise, the goods will be automatically refused by BED REPUBLIC services and returned to the sender's address. A single failure to follow the instructions provided in the return agreement will result in its immediate expiration and will cancel the return procedure.

When returning, the products must be carefully packaged, if possible in their original packaging so that they are kept in the best possible condition, following the time elapsed since their purchase. A large and clear label must indicate the maximum amount of information possible, in order to facilitate the task of identifying CUSTOMER returns.

If necessary, visual supporting documents may be requested by BED REPUBLIC Services in order to confirm the condition of the goods at the beginning and end of the return. Upon receipt of the products and after validation of the return by BED REPUBLIC, agreement will be reached: a standard exchange, a credit note or a direct refund may be offered to you, depending on the nature of the return.

The goods can only be returned by Carrier. No direct return will be accepted by BED REPUBLIC Services in order to avoid any transport dispute. The goods must be systematically sent with insurance up to the amount of the returned product. The CUSTOMER must have a legally made purchase with the carrier, to be able to fully justify support and compensation in the event of a CUSTOMER/CARRIER dispute, known as the customer's service provider.

BED REPUBLIC will not be able to take charge of any deterioration or loss of the goods by the carrier selected by the CUSTOMER. In the event that the CUSTOMER does not opt for transport with insurance, only the CUSTOMER's liability will be incurred.

Any return of a product with damage not listed or caused during return transport by the CUSTOMER, will be the responsibility of the CUSTOMER. The CUSTOMER's responsibility will result in a re-examination of his file and a re-evaluation of the file, which may go as far as total refusal on the part of BED REPUBLIC.

Article 10.7.2: Product return terms

The CUSTOMER is free to choose the method of sending their product to BED REPUBLIC warehouses and to take out insurance or not in the event of loss, theft or destruction of their package. BED REPUBLIC cannot be held responsible for non-receipt of the CUSTOMER's package.

The CUSTOMER is responsible for the packaging method of their product, which must be done in such a way that the product can travel without risk of breakage or damage. BED REPUBLIC therefore advises the CUSTOMER to insure their shipments for the value of their invoice.

Any return of an incomplete, damaged, damaged or soiled item by the CUSTOMER will be considered non-compliant. It will not be refunded and will be returned at the CUSTOMER's expense.

Products that have been unpacked and have resumed their usual shape, and which by this means, cannot be repackaged, will therefore not be able to fall within the framework of a classic withdrawal, unless agreed by BED REPUBLIC. In this type of case, mediation with BED REPUBLIC will be necessary, and the CUSTOMER, according to the nature and responsibility of the return defined, will have to pay for transport accordingly according to the volume of the unpacked and/or assembled product.

Any return accepted by BED REPUBLIC CUSTOMER service will result in the reimbursement of the sums paid after qualitative verification of the returned products, after notification and confirmation of its return.

Proof of delivery will be requested and is mandatory in order to confirm the return.

PLEASE NOTE: Additional supporting documents (photographs for example) may be requested from the CUSTOMER when returning the package and the product. The CUSTOMER must take as much evidence as possible in order to justify the return procedure as much as possible.

Article 10.8: return of the product through the CUSTOMER Right of Withdrawal

In the event of exercising the right of withdrawal, the direct costs of return will be borne by the CUSTOMER.

The CUSTOMER may, if they wish, use the services of BED REPUBLIC carriers to collect their order. In this case, contact CUSTOMER Service via the Contact Form .

Please note that the CUSTOMER remains free to choose their carrier and that BED REPUBLIC offers an optional and non-obligatory service here.

The amount of the return costs will be calculated based on the type of product and the distance to be covered by the carrier to collect the product and return it to the warehouse. They may be higher than the costs paid by the CUSTOMER when purchasing.

An application fee will be required for this procedure.

Some areas or countries are not eligible for recovery, due to the absence of transport providers. BED REPUBLIC will advise that recovery is impossible through them, and will ask the CUSTOMER to find a solution through them. BED REPUBLIC in this case, could not be responsible for any possible additional costs or fees.

Article 17.1. Dispute Resolution:

If for any reason the CUSTOMER wishes to initiate this informal process, the CUSTOMER must submit a notice clearly marked “Notice of Dispute” and must contain its name, address and contact information, a brief but clear explanation of the complaint/dispute, indicating the resolution the CUSTOMER seeks.

All notifications should be sent to contact@bedrepublic.fr.

BED REPUBLIC will contact by email at the address that the CUSTOMER specified in its notification or at the physical address that BED REPUBLIC stored when placing an order on its WEBSITE. Both parties (BED REPUBLIC and the CUSTOMER) agree to make all reasonable efforts to resolve any dispute in good faith through dialogue and negotiation within sixty (60) days of the formal notice. If the dispute is not resolved within sixty (60) days of filing, either party may resort to the procedures described further in this section.

17.2. Failure of the claim:

In the event of failure of the complaint request to the CUSTOMER Service or in the absence of a response from this service within sixty (60) days, the CUSTOMER has the possibility of resorting to a consumer mediator with a view to the amicable resolution of the dispute between him and BED REPUBLIC.

In accordance with the provisions of Articles L 611-1 and R 612-1 et seq. of the Consumer Code concerning the amicable settlement of disputes: When the consumer has sent a written complaint to the professional and has not obtained satisfaction or a response within two months, he may submit his complaint free of charge to the consumer mediator.
