  1. Sales Process

The validation of the order by the Customer signifies acceptance of the terms and conditions.

Once the order is validated and paid for, the Customer receives an order confirmation by email.

Exquisite Leaves makes every  effort that the photographic representation of the products offered for sale on the site e-Commerce Exquisite Leaves is as close as possible to reality. However with regard to the presentation of the products on the Internet, it is possible that the perception by the customer of their photographic representation does not exactly match the products themselves.

3.6. Delivery

Shipping costs are calculated at the end of the order, according to the destination country, weight, volume and rates of the carrier in charge of delivery. Without exception, they are charged to the Customer. The Customer is responsible for ensuring that the products ordered can be imported into the country of destination, and bears applicable taxes and other fees.

Products will be sent to the delivery address indicated by the Customer during the order process. Products are shipped within ten days of receipt of payment by the Seller.

3.7. Warranty

With the exception of tea and other consumable or perishable products delivered in a sealed package and of any other item delivered in a sealed package for hygiene reasons, for which any guarantee is expressly excluded, the Customer benefits from a two-year warranty from the delivery for defects that are not caused by abuse, moisture, wear, or any other cause for which the Customer is responsible. The Customer sends its request to the Seller who at his option will either replace the item or refund the purchase price, if the request is justified.

From the date of receipt of the product, the Customer has a period of 14 days to inform the Seller clearly and unambiguously that he or she asserts his or her right of withdrawal and wants to return the delivered product, at the expense and risk of the Customer. Only products purchased through the e-Commerce site Exquisite Leaves, and returned unopened and in their original packaging may be recoverable. Tea,  pots and many other accessories are delivered in sealed packaging for reasons of hygiene and the right of withdrawal is extinguished once the Customer has broken the seal.

The procedure is as follows:
