What is the complaint and what are the reasons for the complaint
Pursuant to the Law on Consumer Protection, the consumer has the right to file a complaint with the seller who he purchased the product from in case of product inconsistency to the contract, in connection with the given warranty, on the account for the purchased product and for other similar reasons, in accordance with the Law. If there is a manufacturing technological deficiency (e.g., a defective perfume dispersal apparatus) or a hidden defect (e.g. modified chemical properties of the product) and when this deficiency makes it difficult or impossible to use the product in the usual way, you have the right to file a complaint with Belodore in order to correct this deficiency. If the inconvenience appears within six months from the moment of crossing the risk to the consumer, i.e. from the day the goods were handed over to the consumer or the selected person, it is assumed that the inconvenience existed at the time of the risk crossing, unless it contradicts the nature of the goods, i.e. non-compliance.
You may file a complaint
1) in case of product mismatch with the contract, within two years from the date when you received the goods or persons you marked as the Buyer, noting that you are obliged to inform us of the existence of the goods mismatch to the contract within 90 days from the day you discovered the inconvenience, otherwise you lose the rights that belong to you on that basis;
2) in connection with the given warranty, within the deadline of the warranty sheet;
3) to the account immediately, and not later than eight days from the day of payment of the bill;
4) in case of delivery of goods that have errors or damage sustained in transport;
5) in case of delivery of goods that have not been ordered.
Pursuant to the Law on Consumer Protection, delivered goods will be convenient to the contract, if:
1) correspond to a description provided by the seller and have the properties of the goods the seller has shown to the consumer as a sample or model unless the sample or model has been shown only for notification;
2) have the properties required for special use for which the consumer obtains it, which was known to the seller or had to be known at the time of the conclusion of the contract;
3) have the properties required for regular use of goods of the same kind;
4) have properties and characteristics that are explicitly or implicitly contracted or ruled out;
5) by quality and functionality, correspond to the usual characteristics of goods of the same kind that the consumer can reasonably expect, given the nature of the goods and the public promise of a special property of goods made by the trader, manufacturer, or their representatives, especially if the promise was made by advertisement or on the packaging of goods.
All expenses necessary in order to transport goods to the contract, especially the cost of work, materials, reception, and deliveries, are borne by us as a Seller.
The cost of returning goods in case of a complaint is borne by the Seller.
We apply the Seller's Complaints Policy, the Law on Consumer Protection, and the Law on Obligations to all complaints.
The buyer is obliged to inspect the delivered goods immediately upon receipt and to immediately notify the supplier of any possible material deficiencies.
What is not considered a reason to File a Complaint
The deficiency on the product which arose after taking it over, as a consequence of your action or case, i.e. the risk of accidental failure or damage to the product after the product has been submitted to the consumer or third party specified by the Buyer, will be borne by the Buyer, and this is not a reason to file complaints.
If the material deficiency is minor, i.e. if there is a material deficiency on the received product, but does not affect the use of the product in the usual way, your complaint will not be accepted. Regarding durability, fragrant note, and intensity of perfume products, and given the characteristics of online shopping, we recommend that you try this product in one of our stores before buying one of our perfume products. The safest way to choose the right perfume product is to apply the product tester to your skin and see how it will react in contact with your skin over a certain period of time. Consistency, fragrant note, and intensity of scent largely depend on the interaction of perfume formula with the features of your skin and is individual. If the product tester is available in our stores and the product itself does not differ on a neutral surface ("bloter") your complaint will be rejected as ungrounded. If the product is correct: The consumer may object to a product that works in accordance with its regular purpose and completely matches the contract, but this Complaint will be rejected.

Belodore strives to meet its customers by adopting complaint requests whenever possible, even when they are legally unfounded, in order for all our consumers to be, above all, satisfied with the purchase in our retail chain. Despite best practice in the proceedings on the complaint, we will draw your attention to the most common reasons for not adopting your complaint: "Perfume is not persistent" Before purchasing any perfume product we recommend that you try the tester of the product on your skin in one of our stores. Apply the product tester to the skin and see how, at a certain time interval, they will behave in contact with the features of your skin. Consistency, fragrant note, and intensity of smell largely depend on interaction with the features of your skin and are individual. If the tester of the product you tried before the purchase and the product itself does not differ on a neutral surface ("bloter") your objection will not be founded. If the deficiency is a result of careless use, your complaint will be considered unfounded if, for example, the product has fallen and broken or damaged. Individual reaction to the product if you have not emphasized a special sensitivity to ingredients before purchase, and the product is correct. Pay special attention to the product declaration before purchase, and you can contact the retailer for any questions, dilemmas, and notes.
