The maximum delivery time is 7 business days from the order date (for all orders within Metropolitan France). In all cases, if the delivery day falls on a public holiday, a non-working day, or a Sunday, delivery will take place on the next business day.

Article 4: Customs duties
Any order placed on the site and delivered outside of Metropolitan France and Corsica may be subject to possible taxes and customs duties imposed when the package arrives at its destination.
Any customs duties and taxes related to the delivery of an item are your responsibility. We are not required to verify or inform you of applicable customs duties and taxes. We advise you to contact the relevant authorities in your country for further information.
Order destined for Switzerland:
Customs duties and VAT are not levied if they do not exceed 5 francs per declaration. Therefore, shipments whose total value – including transport, customs clearance, insurance, and customs duties – does not exceed the following amounts are imported tax-free:
• Total value of 65 francs (for a VAT rate of 7.7%)
• Total value of 200 francs (for a VAT rate of 2.5%)
If the order value exceeds these amounts:
The amount of customs clearance fees calculated by Swiss Post depends on the origin and the VAT value of the shipment (the value of the goods subject to VAT). For shipments from Germany, France, Austria, and Italy, the basic fee is CHF 11.50. An additional 3% of the taxable value of the goods is added (excluding import duties and customs clearance fees).
For more information, please consult the website of the Federal Customs Administration.
Article 5: Payment
You can pay for your order by credit card or by Paypal.
Cards issued by banks located outside of France must be international bank cards. Important: only bank cards accepted are those from institutions subject to 3D Secure regulations. When paying by card, the amount of your order is debited at the time of order confirmation.

The goods will remain the property of SBLab Paris until full payment of the price. In the event of partial or complete non-payment, the goods may be repossessed in accordance with applicable legal provisions. This repossession may occur even in the event of judicial reorganization or liquidation of the buyer's assets.
Article 8: Guarantees and Liability
The products offered for sale comply with the regulations in force in France and have performance levels compatible with non-professional use.
The products we supply benefit, in accordance with legal provisions:
- of the legal guarantee of conformity under the conditions of Articles L. 211-4 et seq. of the Consumer Code,
- of the legal guarantee against hidden defects arising from a defect in material, design or manufacture affecting the delivered products and rendering them unfit for use under the conditions provided for in Articles 1641 et seq. of the Civil Code.
When acting under the legal guarantee of conformity, the Customer:
- benefits from a period of two years from the delivery of the goods to take action;
- may choose between repair or replacement of the goods, subject to the cost conditions stipulated in Article L 211-9 of the Consumer Code
- is exempt from proving the existence of the lack of conformity of the goods during the six months following delivery of the goods. This period is extended to twenty-four (24) months from March 18, 2016, except for second-hand goods.
The legal guarantee applies independently of any commercial guarantee that may be granted.
The Customer may decide to implement the guarantee against hidden defects in the thing sold within the meaning of article 1641 of the Civil Code; in this case, he may choose between the termination of the sale or a reduction of the sale price in accordance with article 1644 of the Civil Code.
All warranties are excluded, in particular in the event of misuse, negligence or lack of maintenance on your part, as well as in the event of normal wear and tear of the goods, accident or force majeure.
In order to assert your rights, you must inform us in writing by opening a ticket on our SUPPORT: contact@biophytum.net to inform us of the non-conformity of the products or the existence of hidden defects within the legal time limits.
In the event of a non-conforming product, you will have the option of choosing between repair or replacement. In either case, the non-conforming product must be returned to us within 15 days of the date on which you notified us of your choice. Once we receive the product, we will make every effort to provide you with the repaired or replacement product within 2 to 3 weeks.
However, if we determine that your choice results in a disproportionate cost compared to the other option, taking into account the value of the asset and the significance of the defect, we regain control of the choice.
Finally, if repair or replacement of the product is not possible, we will, according to your choice, either refund the full price of the product upon receipt of the product or reduce the price upon receipt of your choice.
In the event of hidden defects, you will have the option of canceling the sale or receiving a price reduction. If you request cancellation, the defective product must be returned to us within 15 days of the date on which you notified us of your choice. We will process the refund upon receipt of the product.
If you choose the price reduction, we will refund the difference, corresponding to the price reduction, upon receipt of your choice.
We can mutually agree to replace or repair the defective product. In this case, the above terms will apply.
In any case, returned products must be in their original packaging, accompanied by all relevant documentation and proof of purchase. Furthermore, you must provide proof of the non-conformity or hidden defect.
If you fail to return the damaged or non-conforming product within the aforementioned 15-day period, we reserve the right to charge the credit card used for your order an amount equivalent to the price (including VAT) of the damaged or non-conforming product that you have not returned. In this case, a second sale subject to a suspensive condition will be considered to have been made by us. This suspensive condition will be fulfilled if, upon expiry of the 15-day period following the date on which we sent you a replacement product, the damaged or non-conforming product is not returned to us.
In any event, we cannot be held liable, particularly in the following cases:
- non-compliance with the legislation of the country in which the products are delivered, which it is your responsibility to check.
- in case of misuse, negligence or lack of maintenance on your part, as well as in case of normal wear and tear of the product, accident or force majeure.
- in case of force majeure.
The products sold are covered, where applicable, by a manufacturer's warranty. The terms and conditions are detailed in the information sheet provided to you upon delivery of the product. In the event of a malfunction during the manufacturer's warranty period, please contact us.
If you receive a damaged package, you must exercise your right to make a claim with the carrier.
In the event of non-delivery, you must contact our company within 15 days using the contact form on the website so that we can find a solution together.
