If one or more provisions prove to be wholly or partially invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect.

Decola Nutraceutics makes every effort to describe the products as accurately as possible.
Images, photos, colors, packaging, and illustrations are for illustrative purposes only and may differ from the actual product delivered.
Decola Nutraceutics reserves the right to modify product compositions, packaging, labels, or technical specifications if necessary due to changed legislation, scientific insights, raw material availability, or production requirements, without compromising the quality of the product.
Obvious errors, printing errors, or technical errors on the website can never give rise to any compensation or dissolution of the agreement.
Article 3 – Prices
All listed prices are expressed in euros.
For consumers, prices include VAT, unless otherwise stated.
Shipping costs are stated separately before the order is finally confirmed.
Decola Nutraceutics reserves the right to adjust prices at any time. Orders will always be invoiced at the price applicable at the time of the order.
Article 4 – Orders
An agreement is only concluded after Decola Nutraceutics has confirmed the order.

For consumers, only the statutory provisions of Book XIX of the Code of Economic Law concerning payment arrears apply.
Article 6 – Delivery
Delivery takes place at the address provided by the customer.
The stated delivery times are indicative and do not constitute an obligation of result.
A delay in delivery does not entitle the buyer to compensation or dissolution of the agreement, unless otherwise provided by mandatory law.
The risk of loss or damage passes to the consumer at the moment of delivery.
Article 7 – Retention of title
All delivered goods remain the property of Decola Nutraceutics until full payment of the amounts due has been received.
Until that moment, the customer may not pledge, resell, or encumber the goods in a manner that would prejudice the ownership rights of Decola Nutraceutics.

The customer is requested to check the goods immediately upon receipt.
Visible damage or defects must be reported in writing as soon as possible and no later than seven calendar days after delivery.

Enterprises benefit exclusively from the warranties as expressly agreed or arising from applicable law.
Article 10 – Right of withdrawal
Consumers have the right to withdraw from the agreement within fourteen (14) calendar days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period expires fourteen days after the day on which the consumer or a third party designated by him has physically taken possession of the goods.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, the consumer must inform Decola Nutraceutics by means of an unambiguous statement before the expiry of this period.
Refunds will be made no later than fourteen days after receipt of the declaration of withdrawal, using the same payment method as the original payment, unless otherwise agreed.
