Right of withdrawal
You have the right to withdraw from this contract without giving any reason within fourteen (14) days.
The withdrawal period will expire fourteen (14) days from the day on which you, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you, acquires physical possession of the Product(s) ordered.

To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning the exercise of your right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
In accordance with Article L221-28 of the French Consumer Code (Code de la consommation), the right of withdrawal may not be exercised (i) for orders involving the supply of goods made to the consumer's specifications or clearly personalised, and (ii) for the supply of goods which have been unsealed by the consumer after delivery and which cannot be returned for reasons of hygiene or health protection.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, you must notify us of your decision to withdraw from this contract by means of an unequivocal statement:
1/ To exercise your right of withdrawal and proceed with the return of a Product, you may use the following online process:

Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse all payments received from you, including delivery costs where applicable (with the exception of any supplementary costs arising from your choice, where applicable, of a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us). In the event of a partial return, if delivery costs were initially charged on a flat-rate basis applicable to the entire order, regardless of the number or value of the Products ordered, they will not be reimbursed, as they would have been the same for the Products retained alone.
This reimbursement will be carried out without undue delay and, in any event, not later than fourteen (14) days from the day on which we are informed of your decision to withdraw from this contract. Where applicable, we may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or until you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.

You must send back the Product(s) concerned, without undue delay and, in any event, not later than fourteen (14) days after the day on which you communicated your decision to withdraw from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of fourteen (14) days has expired.
The Products must be returned complete, in their original packaging where possible, together with all their accessories (including any gifts provided as part of promotional offers conditional upon the returned Product). In accordance with Article L221-23 of the French Consumer Code (Code de la consommation), you shall only be liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling of the goods other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
We will cover the return shipping costs based on the original delivery address of your order, by means of a prepaid label which will be provided to you, and which must be affixed to the parcel. This label will contain the details required for the processing of your return and will cover the cost of return shipping.

You must ensure that the KENZO Products delivered to you correspond to your order. In the event that the KENZO Products delivered do not coincide with your order, you must inform our Customer Service (the contact details of which are indicated in Article 11) and return the Product(s) in question in accordance with the conditions laid out in Article 9.
The KENZO products offered for sale on the E-shop automatically benefit from:
- the statutory warranty of conformity under the conditions defined in Articles L. 217-1 and following of the French Consumer Code,
- the statutory warranty against hidden defects under the conditions defined in Articles 1641 and following of the French Civil Code.
Without prejudice to the aforementioned provisions, and in accordance with Article D.211-2 of the French Consumer Code, the following terms from its appendix are reproduced (subject to translation in English) below:
“The consumer has a period of two years from the delivery of the goods to obtain the implementation of the legal guarantee of conformity in the event of the appearance of a lack of conformity. During this period, the consumer is only required to establish the existence of the lack of conformity and not the date of its appearance.
Where the contract for the sale of goods provides for the continuous supply of digital content or a digital service for a period of more than two years, the legal guarantee applies to this digital content or digital service throughout the envisaged supply period. During this period, the consumer is only required to establish the existence of the lack of conformity affecting the digital content or digital service and not the date of its appearance.
The legal guarantee of conformity entails an obligation for the professional, where applicable, to provide all updates necessary to maintain the conformity of the goods.
The legal guarantee of conformity gives the consumer the right to the repair or replacement of the goods within a period of thirty days following their request, free of charge and without significant inconvenience to them.
If the goods are repaired under the legal guarantee of conformity, the consumer benefits from a six-month extension of the initial guarantee.
If the consumer requests the repair of the goods, but the seller imposes their replacement, the legal guarantee of conformity is renewed for a period of two years from the date of replacement of the goods.
The consumer may obtain a reduction in the purchase price by keeping the goods or terminate the contract by receiving a full refund upon returning the goods, if:
1. The professional refuses to repair or replace the goods;
2. The repair or replacement of the goods occurs after a period of thirty days;
3. The repair or replacement of the goods causes significant inconvenience to the consumer, in particular when the consumer permanently bears the costs of taking back or removing the non- conforming goods, or if they bear the installation costs of the repaired or replacement goods;
4. The non-conformity of the goods persists despite the seller's unsuccessful attempt to bring them into conformity.
The consumer is also entitled to a reduction in the price of the goods or to the termination of the contract where the lack of conformity is so serious as to justify an immediate price reduction or termination of the contract. The consumer is then not required to request the repair or replacement of the goods beforehand.
The consumer is not entitled to terminate the sale if the lack of conformity is minor.
Any period during which the goods are immobilized for the purpose of their repair or replacement suspends the remaining guarantee period until the delivery of the restored goods.
The rights mentioned above result from the application of Articles L. 217-1 to L. 217-32 of the French Consumer Code.
A seller who obstructs in bad faith the implementation of the legal guarantee of conformity incurs a civil fine of up to 300,000 euros, which may be increased to 10% of the average annual turnover (Article L. 241-5 of the French Consumer Code).
The consumer also benefits from the legal guarantee against hidden defects pursuant to Articles 1641 to 1649 of the French Civil Code, for a period of two years from the discovery of the defect. This guarantee gives the right to a price reduction if the goods are kept or to a full refund upon returning the goods. ”
The legal warranties of the local law of the customer's country of residence that are more favorable to the customer than the above French legal provisions shall apply for the benefit of the customer.
The performance of all or part of our obligations will be suspended in the event of the occurrence of a fortuitous event or force majeure that hampers or delays its performance.
Finally, without prejudice to KENZO's security obligations, the buyer must maintain the security of its online transactions, particularly by not disclosing its identifiers and passwords to anyone.
Computerized records, stored in the IT systems of KENZO and its partners, such as carriers, will be considered admissible, valid, and enforceable proof of communications, orders, and payments between the Parties.
