6. RETURN OF WRONG, DAMAGED AND DEFECTIVE PRODUCTS
6.1. We are under a legal duty to supply Products that are in conformity with the Orders placed and the applicable legislation and regulations where necessary. Nothing in these terms will affect your legal rights to return faulty Products. If you return a Product that is faulty, the shipping costs will be refunded.
6.2. Shall you return a Product due to an error ascribable to the Vendor, or because it is damaged or defective, you must inform VW within:
A) 48 (forty-eight) hours of delivery (please note, if you do not report the fault within this time frame your legal rights set out below will remain unaffected):
B) you must report any defect up to 30 (thirty) days: if your Products are deemed to be faulty and the authorised returns process specified above under Clause 2 is fulfilled, then you can get an immediate refund.
C) Up to 2 (two) years: we assume that the Products have been defective since the moment of purchase. In these cases, you may obtain the restoration of the conformity of the Products (repair or replacement pursuant Article 135 bis-ter and quarter of Legislative Decree 206/2005 as modified), receive a price reduction, or terminate the Contract provided that the remedy chosen is not impossible or imposes disproportionate costs for us. Once we have received the faulty Product, we will carry out a thorough investigation and contact you with our outcome. After two (2) years from the date of receipt, you will be obliged to provide sufficient proof that the fault would have existed at the point of purchase.
D): up to 2(two) years: you are only required to establish the existence of the lack of conformity of the Product and not the date of its appearance. In these cases, subject to the conditions set out in articles L217-8 to L217-17 of the French Consumer Code, you may obtain the restoration of the conformity of the Products (repair or replacement, provided that the remedy chosen is not impossible or imposes disproportionate costs for us), receive a price reduction, or terminate the contract. Once we have received the faulty Product, we will carry out a thorough investigation and contact you with our outcome. After 2 (two) years from the date of receipt, you will be obliged to provide sufficient proof that the fault would have existed at the point of purchase.
