9. GUARANTEES
The Customer must take into account that the ceramic pieces are made by hand, through a handmade process that makes each piece unique and, therefore, the slight irregularities and variations in color, shape and finish cannot be considered as defects.
The warranty does not cover defects that result from normal wear or any other external cause, such as:
- improper use, such as submission to sudden changes in temperature;
- failure to comply with the operating or maintenance instructions on the Site, such as the use of the piece in the stove, oven or microwave or the washing of earthenware pieces in the dishwasher.
To exercise this right, the Customer must report the product's lack of conformity to the Store within two months from the date it was detected, by email ursulaceramica@gmail.com or letter sent to the store's headquarters. This communication must include a description of the problem and be accompanied by a copy of the purchase invoice.
The Client may choose one of the following solutions: replacement, appropriate price reduction or termination of the contract, whichever is more reasonable, within the limits imposed by good faith, good customs or the social or economic purpose of that right. As ceramic products, we consider that repair is not a possible solution.
If the Customer chooses to replace the damaged product, we undertake to replace the part with another, similar or equivalent, within a maximum period of 60 days.
10. CIVIL RESPONSIBILITY
The Store is not responsible for any damages, direct or indirect, of the Customer or third parties, which result from the use of the products sold.
