Ainsi Hardi is only required to deliver products which are compliant with the contractual provision. Products are considered as compliant if the following conditions fulfilled : (i) they shall be compliant with the description and have the features mentioned on the Site; (ii) they shall be compliance with the uses which may reasonably be expected of it; (iii) they shall compliant with the quality and strength which may reasonably be expected of similar products.

According to legal regulations, Ainsi Hardi guarantees the clients against compliance and latent defects, under the following conditions:

Visible defects - Non-compliance, latent defects

In case of a visible defect of a Product, the customer shall send an email at Contact Us. All demands shall mention the defect concerned. Failing that, the demand won't be accepted and no return or exchange will be possible.

Visible defect confirmed by Ainsi Hardi shall give rise, depending on the demand's content and the nature of the defect, to exchange or repayment or a voucher.

Subject to the confirmation of a non-compliance or a latent defect by Ainsi Hardi or the manufacturer, as the case may be, the customer shall benefit the following guarantees: 

Ainsi Hardi, whose headquarters is based in France, acting as a “guarantor” within the meaning mentioned in articles L217-5 and seq. French Code de la Consommation and articles 1641 and seq. of the French Code Civil. Therefore :  The client may introduce an action resulting from lack of conformity within two years after delivery of the Product ; In the absence of proof to the contrary, any lack of conformity appearing within six months of delivery of the product is presumed to have existed at the time of delivery; In the event of lack of conformity, the buyer shall choose between the repair or replacement of the product, subject to the costs according to Article L217-9 of the French Code de la Consommation.  The legal guarantee of compliance applies regardless of the commercial guarantee described below. The client may also introduce an action based on the latent defect as the meaning of Article 1641 and seq. of the French Code Civil. Such legal guarantee of latent defect allows the client to ask for the repayment of a product which is not compliant with the use which may reasonably be expected of it, within 2 years from the discovery of the latent defect. The client has the choice between two options: keep the Product and ask for a price discount or return the Product and ask for the complete repayment of the price paid, according to the Article 1644 of the French Code Civil.

 In order to implement these warranties, the Product must be returned, in its original packaging, in its original condition, new, unworn, unwashed, with the references of the initial Order and copy of the claim to the registered offices of Ainsi Hardi, after sending an email indicating the reason for the return of the Product.
