11. GOODS COMPLAINT

11.1. Applies to the Buyer who is a Consumer:

11.1.1. All Goods offered in the Online Shop are brand new, free of any defects and have been legally introduced on the Romanian market. The Seller has the legal obligation to deliver the Goods without defects. The Seller's liability for the quality of service provided by law is governed by the generally applicable provisions on the lack of conformity of Goods with the Contract.

11.1.2. The Seller warrants to the Consumer that the Goods are free from defects upon delivery. In particular, the Seller warrants that, upon delivery, the Goods:

  • have the properties to which the Parties have agreed, and, if there is no such agreement, the properties which the Seller or manufacturer has declared or which the Buyer expects with regard to the type of Goods in question,

  • are suitable for the purposes communicated by the Seller or the purposes for which the type of Goods in question is usually used,

  • correspond in quality or design to the corresponding model or sample, if the sample or model was the basis for the decision on the quality of the Goods,

  • are in the appropriate quantity, size and weight, and

  • comply with the applicable regulations.

11.1.3. All information on the Online Shop is provided in good faith. The images published on the Site are true to life, but sometimes the color shades of the Goods may differ slightly due to the photo process or the Consumer's monitor settings, or there may be slight differences in the design / graphics of the Goods due to the fact that some images come from manufacturers / suppliers. There may also be technical or content errors, related to technical specifications, prices, stocks, or availability of Goods, which may occur for example when Ordering between the Seller's working hours, etc. The Seller makes every effort to ensure the accuracy of the information on the Online Shop, which is why, to ensure the certainty of the information, all Orders will go through a prior confirmation process before being delivered to the Consumer.

11.1.4. A lack of conformity shall not be deemed to exist if at the time of the conclusion of the Contract the Consumer was explicitly informed that a particular characteristic of the Goods does not meet the objective conformity requirements and the Consumer expressly and separately accepted this at the time of the conclusion of the Contract.

11.1.5. In case of non-compliance of the Goods with the Contract, the Consumer may submit a complaint to the Seller in any form, in particular in writing to the following address: Orasul Voluntari, Bulevardul Voluntari, nr.102, Judetul Ilfov or by e-mail to the following address: belany.romania@gmail.com. In the complaint, it is required to:

  • provide Consumer’s identification data, the Order number, the date of receipt of the Parcel;

  • provide information on the subject of the complaint, in particular the type and date of the defect, a description of the alleged defects in as much detail as possible, accompanied by photographs of the Goods with defects (if possible, the Consumer may provide a video recording documenting the presence of defects in the Goods);

  • define the request on how to remedy the defect (replacement of the Goods with a new one, repair of the Goods and then reduction of the price or Withdrawal from the Contract)

  • providing the complainant's contact details, which will facilitate and speed up the examination of the complaint by the Seller;

  • to sign the complaint by the Consumer and specify the date of the Company.

Complaints that do not contain the above elements may not be taken into consideration by the Seller. However, the Seller may choose to require the Consumer to provide the missing details from the complaint. For the avoidance of doubt, this does not exclude or limit the Seller's right to request further details from the Consumer in relation to the complaint. 

In order to confirm the rights deriving from the guaranties, the Consumer is obliged to prove the existence of a Contract between the Consumer and the Seller. The Seller may require the Consumer to provide the printed Order confirmation and proof of payment as evidence. The Consumer's refusal to provide the Seller within the time specified by the Seller, or within a reasonable time from the date of the request, with such details constitutes a waiver of the complaint. Failure by the Consumer to respond shall be deemed a refusal to respond to the Seller's requests.

11.1.6. The Seller is obliged to inform the Consumer of the completion and outcome of the complaint procedure by electronic means at the e-mail address provided by the Consumer in the complaint or at any other address at which the Consumer may be informed of the completion and outcome of the complaint procedure.

  1. request repair or replacement of the Goods (“Remedial Measures”). However, it is stipulated that the Consumer has the right to request a replacement of the Goods if their non-conformity is detected shortly after delivery, but not more than within 30 calendar days.

The Consumer may not require the Seller to take Remedial Measures if these are impossible or disproportionate. Remedial Measures shall be deemed impossible if the Seller is unable to provide identical Goods for replacement (or spare parts for repair, as the case may be), including due to lack of related machinery or technology. Remedial Measures shall be deemed disproportionate if they impose costs on the Seller that are unreasonable in comparison with other measures taking into account, cumulatively, (i) the value that the Goods would have had if there were no lack of conformity; (ii) the extent of the lack of conformity; and (iii) whether another Remedial Measure could be carried out without significant inconvenience to Buyer.

  1. make a declaration of price reduction or Withdrawal from the Contract, but only when:

  • the Seller has not completed the repair or replacement or, as the case may be, has not completed the repair or replacement in accordance with the provisions of Article 12 of the Emergency Ordinance №140 of 28 December 2021 or the Seller has refused to bring the Goods into conformity in accordance with clause 11.1.7 (a) hereof;

  • the lack of conformity is discovered despite the Seller's efforts to remedy it;

  • the lack of conformity is so serious that it justifies a reduction in price or the right to immediately terminate the Contract;

  • the Seller has stated that it will not bring the Goods into conformity within a reasonable time or without significant inconvenience to the Consumer, or it is clear from the circumstances of the case.

The reduced price will be proportionate to the price resulting from the Contract, based on the value of the Goods that does not comply with the Contract in relation to the value of the Goods that does comply with the Contract. 

11.1.8. To the extent that the Goods purchased by the Consumer involves an installation procedure, any lack of conformity resulting from an incorrect installation of the Goods shall be deemed equivalent to a lack of conformity of the Goods, only if the installation was carried out by or at the responsibility of the Seller or the installation was carried out by the Consumer, and the incorrect installation was due to deficiencies in the installation instructions provided by the Seller. Seller assumes no obligation to install any Goods. Installation of the Goods shall be carried out exclusively by the Consumer in accordance with the installation instructions accompanying the Goods, as they may be found
