It is the Customer’s responsibility to inspect the Product immediately upon delivery and take note of any concerns at the time of delivery (for example: unsealed package, damage…). Any concerns must be clearly stated on the receipt form.

If the Product is returned because it does not comply with the order form or sustained damage during shipment, the return procedure must be undertaken in accordance with LOOK guidelines. All costs related to the return shipment will be at the expense of LOOK.

If the Customer fails to notify the LOOK Customer Service and the Product is not retrieved within the stated period of 21 (twenty-one) working days, the order will no longer be attributed to the Customer. The Product will be redistributed and the Customer will require a new order.

In this situation LOOK reserves the right to deduct or charge an administrative fee of forty euros (€ 40) to cover the costs incurred.
