Technical Assistance Policy, Exchanges and Returns
In order to ensure greater transparency in the sales made by Aquários Sobrinho, our Exchanges and Returns Policy follows the rules of the Consumer Defense Code (CDC) and is detailed below to ensure your customers a satisfactory purchase and a quality sales service.
Shipping of Aquários Sobrinho products
In purchases via the internet or telephone that are agreed for outsourced delivery at the customer's home or at another address chosen by the customer, the responsibility of the Aquários Sobrinho is to send the product according to the specifications agreed with the client (in relation to shipping method and costs) and ensure that it arrives exactly what the client asked for.
When the delivery service is outsourced by Aquários Sobrinho (via the post office or carriers, for example), the contracted delivery company assumes all responsibility for delivering the product without damage to the customer. In this case, Aquários Sobrinho is responsible for any and all possible problems until the delivery of the agreed address.
In the case of sending by Correios, the Declared Value fee will ALWAYS be added to the Courier in shipping charges. This is the insurance that Correios requires to reimburse fully in case of loss, theft, damage or breakdown.
In the case of delivery of products to third parties contracted by the customer , the The responsibility of Aquários Sobrinho ends when the products are delivered to the third party who must check the product , including whether the products are in accordance with the purchase or if they exist defects or failures, as per the customer's instructions. All responsibility for transportation is the responsibility of that third party hired by the customer.
Receipt of products by the customer
The act of signing the delivery receipt by the contracting company explains the condition that:
The customer received the products as requested in relation to:
Quantity of products ;
Product specifications;
The products and/or packaging did not suffer damage as a result of inadequate transport.
If the customer is not the person responsible for receiving the order, it is necessary that he advise the person responsible for receiving the order on what should be checked. Aquários Sobrinho is open in its communication channels to help you with how to proceed with the receipt of your order.
If the order is received without checking the equipment, Aquários Sobrinho is exempt from liability in the event of damage or malfunctions during transport. Outsourced delivery companies do not accept claims for problems involving damage or damage after receiving the goods. The customer must assert their duty to check the product sent in order to have their right safeguarded. In any case, Aquários Sobrinho is open to try to solve problems satisfactorily whenever possible.
In case of inconsistency in delivery
If the order is outside of what was requested during the purchase process, the customer simply refuses receipt, justifying the reason for refusal to the delivery person. The delivery company will return the order without any problem. The customer must notify Aquários Sobrinho of any inconsistency in the delivery immediately through their communication channels .
Aquários Sobrinho is always willing to seek the best possible solution for this type of problem. We work with the strict conferencing system for shipping orders and we do not have any cases of orders with products purchased in short supply.
In case of damage or breakdown in delivery
Due to the dimensions of most equipment, Aquários Sobrinho ships its large equipment in wooden screwed boxes so that the product is protected from the most severe impacts and also uses several impact absorbing materials to minimize the amount of damage or damage during transport . THE A wooden box, like any other box, does not protect the equipment against falls from considerable heights during transport. Even if the equipment is properly protected, damage and damage can occur.
After checking the equipment and noticeable damage or damage, inform the delivery person at the time of delivery that he will return the product to Aquários Sobrinho. The customer must notify Aquários Sobrinho in our service channels about the damage so that we can solve the problem.
In case of damage or malfunction of the order in the transport that was not noticed during delivery, it is necessary to communicate to Aquários Sobrinho in its service channels so that we can seek a solution that is beneficial to both parties.
The policies of delivery companies contracted by Aquários Sobrinho
Aquários Sobrinho hires two companies to deliver: The Post Office and Jamef . Both companies have their operating policies and tracking. Our customers are advised on how to track their orders.
As the responsibility for the order until the act of delivery is the responsibility of Aquários Sobrinho, the customer only must confirm the integrity of the order upon delivery and communicate to Aquários Sobrinho in its communication channels any problem related to the delivery.
In case of damage or breakdown during transport, the Correios or Jamef will carry out their internal investigation to determine the reasons for the damage or damage to the order. The investigation deadline is determined by the responsible company.
As soon as the responsible delivery company notifies Aquários Sobrinho about the problems in the delivery, we will take the appropriate measures to
