In the Outlet only products that are discontinued are sold. They may or may not have minor cosmetic damage or come without their original packaging (in which case we notify the customer). That is why returns are not allowed and have no guarantee.
The guarantee of the products offered will respond to the following articles based on the Royal Legislative Decree 1/2007, of 16 November, which approves the revised text of the General Law for the Defence of Consumers and Users and other complementary laws:
Article 114. General principles.
The seller is obliged to deliver to the consumer and user products which conform to the contract, and is liable to the consumer and user for any lack of conformity which exists at the time of delivery of the product.
Article 115. Scope of application.
1. This title covers contracts for the sale of products and contracts for the supply of products to be produced or manufactured.
2. The provisions of this Title shall not apply to products purchased through judicial sale, to water or gas, where they are not packaged for sale in a limited volume or set quantity, and to electricity. Neither shall it be applicable to second-hand products acquired at administrative auction which may be attended in person by consumers and users.
Article 116. Conformity of products with the contract.
1. Unless there is proof to the contrary, products shall be deemed to conform with the contract provided that they fulfil all the requirements set out below, unless the circumstances of the case deem any of them inapplicable:
a) They comply with the description given by the seller and possess the qualities of the product which the seller has held out to the consumer as a sample or model.
b) They are fit for the purposes for which such products are usually intended.
c) They are fit for any special use required by the consumer and user if they have informed the seller of this when the contract is executed, provided that they have accepted that the product is fit for such use.
d) They show the quality and performance which are normal in products of the same type and which the consumer and user can reasonably expect, given the nature of the product and taking into account any public statements on the specific characteristics of the products made about them by the seller, the producer or his representative, particularly in advertising or on labelling. The seller shall not be bound by such public statements if he proves that he was not aware and could not reasonably be expected to be aware of the statement in question, that the statement had been corrected at the time of the conclusion of the contract or that the statement could not have influenced the decision to purchase the product.
2. Non-conformity resulting from incorrect installation of the product will be deemed equivalent to non-conformity of the product when the installation is included in the sales or supply contract regulated by Article 115.1 and has been carried out by the seller or under his responsibility, or by the consumer and user when the defective installation is due to an error in the installation instructions.
3. No liability shall arise for lack of conformity which the consumer or user was aware of or could not reasonably have been unaware of at the time of conclusion of the contract or which arises from materials supplied by the consumer and user.
Article 117. Incompatibility of actions.
The exercise of the actions contemplated in this title shall be incompatible with the exercise of the actions derived from the reorganisation due to hidden defects in the purchase and sale.
In any case, the consumer and user will have the right, in accordance with civil and commercial legislation, to be compensated for damages resulting from the lack of conformity.
Article 118. Responsibility of the seller and rights of the consumer and user.
The consumer and user has the right to have the product repaired, replaced, the price reduced or the contract terminated, in accordance with the provisions of this title.
Article 119. Repair and replacement of the product.
1. If the product is not in accordance with the contract, the consumer and user may choose to demand its repair or replacement, unless one of these options is objectively impossible or disproportionate. As soon as the consumer and user informs the seller of the chosen option, both parties must abide by it. The consumer and user’s decision is without prejudice to the provisions of the article below, in the event that the repair or replacement fails to bring the product into compliance with the contract.
2. Any form of remedy that imposes unreasonable costs on the seller in comparison with the other form will be considered disproportionate, taking into account the value the product would have if there were no lack of conformity, the significance of the lack of conformity and whether the alternative form of remedy could be carried out without major inconvenience to the consumer and user.
In order to determine whether the costs are unreasonable, the costs for one form of remedy must also be considerably higher than the costs for the other form of remedy.
Article 120. Legal regime for the repair or replacement of the product.
Repair and replacement shall comply with the following rules:
a) They will be free of charge for the consumer and user. This shall include the necessary costs incurred in remedying the non-conformity of the products with the contract, in particular shipping costs, as well as labour and material costs.
b) They shall be completed within a reasonable time and without any significant inconvenience to the consumer and user, taking account of the nature of the products and the purpose for which the consumer and user required them.
c) Repairs suspend the time periods referred to in Article 123. The suspension period shall begin from the time the consumer and user makes the product available to the seller and shall end with the delivery of the repaired product to the consumer and user. During the six months following the delivery of the repaired product, the seller will be liable for the faults that led to the repair, being presumed to be the same faults when defects of the same origin as those initially stated are reproduced in the product.
d) If once the repair has been concluded and the product has been delivered, it still does not comply with the contract, the consumer and user may demand the replacement of the product, unless this option is disproportionate, the reduction of the price or the cancellation of the contract under the terms envisaged in this chapter.
e) Replacement suspends the periods referred to in Article 123 from the exercise of the option by the consumer and user until the delivery of the new product. The second paragraph of Article 123.1 shall in any case apply to the replacement product.
f) If the replacement fails to bring the product into conformity with the contract, the consumer and user may demand that the product be repaired, unless this option is disproportionate, the reduction of the price or the cancellation of the contract under the terms provided in this chapter.
g) The consumer and user may not demand substitution in the case of non-fungible products, or in the case of second-hand products.
Article 121. Price reduction and contract termination.
The price will be reduced and the contract terminated, at the choice of the consumer or user, if the latter is unable to demand repair or replacement and if these have not been carried out within a reasonable time or without major inconvenience for the consumer and user. The decision shall not apply when the non-conformity is of minor importance.
NOTE according to art. 108.2: The USER is informed that he 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 their nature, characteristics or functioning. In no case shall they be liable for the diminished value of the goods if the entrepreneur has not informed them of their right of withdrawal in accordance with Article 97.1.i).
Article 122. Price reduction criteria.
The price reduction will be proportional to the difference between the value the product would have had at the time of delivery had it been in compliance with the contract and the value of the product actually delivered at the time of delivery.
Article 123. Timing.
1. The seller shall be liable for any non-conformity which becomes apparent within two years of delivery. In the case of second-hand products, the seller and the consumer and user may agree on a shorter period, which may not be less than one year from delivery.
Unless proved otherwise, any lack of conformity which becomes apparent within six months of the delivery of the product, whether new or second-hand, shall be presumed to have existed at the time when the goods were delivered, unless this presumption is incompatible with the nature of the product or the nature of the lack of conformity.
2. Unless proven otherwise, delivery shall be considered to have occurred on the day indicated on the invoice or purchase ticket, or on the corresponding delivery note if this is later.
3. The seller is obliged to deliver to the consumer or user who exercises his right to repair or replacement documentary evidence of the delivery of the product, stating the date of delivery and the lack of conformity that gives rise to the exercise of the right.
Similarly, together with the repaired or replaced product, the seller shall provide the consumer or user with documentary evidence of the delivery, including the date of delivery and, where appropriate, the repair carried out.
4. The action to claim compliance with the provisions of chapter II of this title shall expire after three years from the delivery of the product.
5. The consumer and user must inform the seller of the lack of conformity within two months of becoming aware of it. Failure to comply with this deadline will not imply the loss of the right to the corresponding remedy, the consumer and user being responsible, however, for the damages or losses actually caused by the delay in communication.
Unless proven otherwise, it shall be understood that the consumer and user has communicated the non-conformity within the established period.
Article 124. Action against the manufacturer.
If it is impossible or too inconvenient for the consumer and user to contact the seller regarding the non-conformity of the products covered by the contract, they may claim directly from the manufacturer in order to obtain the replacement or repair of the product.
In general, and without prejudice to the fact that the producer’s liability shall cease, for the purposes of this title, within the same periods and under the same conditions as those laid down for the seller, the manufacturer shall be liable for the lack of conformity when it concerns the origin, identity or suitability of the products, in accordance with their nature and purpose and with the rules governing them.
Whoever has responded to the consumer and user will have a period of one year to repeat the complaint against the person responsible for the lack of conformity. This period is calculated from the time when the problem is remedied.
14. APPLICABLE LAW AND JURISDICTION
These conditions shall be governed by or construed in accordance with Spanish law in respect of matters not expressly set forth herein. Any controversy that may arise from the provision of the products or services subject to these Conditions shall be submitted to the courts and tribunals of the USER’s domicile, the place of fulfilment of the obligation or the place where the property is located if it is immovable.
