Pigmento Coolectivo Return Policy<\/strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n
<\/div>\n\n

Pigmento Coolectivo values customer satisfaction and is committed to ensuring that all products are printed and packaged with the utmost care and quality. However, we understand that situations may arise in which customers wish to request a return or exchange. <\/p>\n\n

This return policy has been drafted to clarify the applicable criteria and procedures, while simultaneously ensuring the protection of Pigmento Coolectivo against abuse and unfair practices.<\/p>\n\n

\n\n

GENERAL TERMS<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n

I. Nature of products and services<\/h3>\n\n

Pigmento Coolectivo is dedicated to the production of fine art (gicl\u00e9e) prints and other professional printing services, carried out on a personalised basis according to the client\u2019s specifications.<\/p>\n\n

Each print is produced individually based on:<\/p>\n\n

    \n
  • the files provided or approved by the client;<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • the paper, format, and finishing options defined by the client.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
    \n\n

    II. Exclusion of the right of withdrawal <\/h3>\n\n

    In accordance with Article 17(c) of Decree-Law No. 24\/2014, which transposes Directive 2011\/83\/EU into Portuguese law, there is no right of withdrawal (return without stating a reason) for contracts whose subject matter is:<\/p>\n\n

    \n

    \u201cthe supply of goods made to the consumer\u2019s specifications or clearly personalised.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n

    Accordingly, we do not accept returns or exchanges of prints that have been correctly produced and that comply with the specifications provided or approved by the client.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

    \n\n

    RETURN OR EXCHANGE PROCESSING AND TERMS<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n
    \n\n

    1.General criteria for \u201cReturn\u201d or \u201cExchange\u201d<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n

    1.1. Products damaged during transport (visibly damaged packaging)<\/h4>\n\n

    Orders that are damaged due to transport, where such damage is externally visible at the time of delivery, should not be accepted by the client<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n

    Refusal of delivery must be accompanied by a note on the transport document stating the reason for refusal (for example, \u201cdamaged packaging\u201d). This procedure is essential for assigning liability to the carrier. <\/p>\n\n

    \n\n

    1.2. Products damaged during transport (apparently intact packaging)<\/h4>\n\n

    Products in which damage is detected only after opening the packaging may result from:I) damage occurring prior to packaging;II) improper transport;III) incorrect handling of the packaging by the client.<\/p>\n\n

    In cases I) and II), the products may be eligible for return or exchange, provided that the client fully complies with the verification procedures described in sections 2 and 3. <\/p>\n\n

    \n\n

    1.3. Defective products (production defect)<\/h4>\n\n

    Products that present production defects may be eligible for return or exchange, subject to compliance with the verification procedures defined in sections 2 and 3.<\/p>\n\n

    \n\n

    1.4. Production errors<\/h4>\n\n

    Pigmento Coolectivo is committed to high standards of quality control, with each print inspected prior to dispatch.<\/p>\n\n

    If a production error is identified \u2014 including, but not limited to, incorrect trimming, clearly incorrect colour rendering, or other relevant technical deviations \u2014 we will carry out a detailed assessment of the reported issue and, where applicable, replace the item.<\/p>\n\n

    \n\n

    1.5. Cancellations and change of mind<\/h4>\n\n

    Returns based solely on a change of mind, regret, or cancellation by the client are not accepted, given the personalised nature of the prints and products.<\/p>\n\n

    By approving the final specifications and artwork, the client assumes responsibility for the order as described and approved.<\/p>\n\n

    \n\n

    2. Return or exchange request process<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n

    2.1. Deadlines for submitting a request<\/h3>\n\n

    Requests for return or exchange must be submitted in writing (by email) within a maximum of 48 hours after receipt of the product<\/strong>, with the date and time of receipt being those recorded by the carrier.<\/p>\n\n

    Requests submitted after this deadline will not be considered.<\/p>\n\n

    \n\n

    2.2. Required documentation<\/h3>\n\n

    For the purposes of validating the request, the client must provide:<\/p>\n\n

      \n
    • High-quality photographs of the product, clearly showing the print details and the alleged damage or defects;<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Photographs of the original packaging, including both internal and external protective materials;<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • A detailed description of the issue, with a clear reference to any deviations from the agreed specifications.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n

      The absence of any of these elements may result in the rejection of the request.<\/p>\n\n

      \n\n

      2.3. Internal technical assessment<\/h3>\n\n

      After receipt of the documentation, the request will be technically assessed by comparing the evidence provided with:<\/p>\n\n

        \n
      • the agreed specifications;<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • the internal production records.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n

        Where necessary, the physical return of the product may be requested for further verification.<\/p>\n\n

        \n\n

        3. Conditions for approval of a \u201cReturn\u201d or \u201cExchange\u201d<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n

        3.1. Transport damage<\/h3>\n\n

        In the event of damage caused during transport, Pigmento Coolectivo will replace the product, provided that the client complies with the established deadlines and documentation requirements.<\/p>\n\n

        The client must also submit a formal claim to the carrier and provide proof of that submission to Pigmento Coolectivo. Pigmento Coolectivo will monitor the entire process. <\/p>\n\n

        This protocol is intended to prevent unfounded claims of transport damage arising from a simple change of mind regarding the order.In the event of false declarations, Pigmento Coolectivo reserves the right to act in accordance with applicable legal provisions.<\/p>\n\n

        In such cases, no refund will be issued; only replacement of the prints will be provided.<\/p>\n\n

        \n\n

        3.2. Prints with production defects<\/h3>\n\n

        The internal technical assessment will determine whether production defects exist, through comparison with the digital file approved by the client.<\/p>\n\n

        Production defects are considered to be significant issues of colour, trimming, or alignment that do not correspond to the approved file. If confirmed, Pigmento Coolectivo will proceed with replacement of the product or, where applicable, with a refund. <\/p>\n\n

        \n\n

        3.3. Colour and texture reproduction<\/h3>\n\n

        Pigmento Coolectivo works with calibrated colour profiles and high-quality papers. However, the perception of colours and textures may vary depending on the client\u2019s monitor and viewing conditions. <\/p>\n\n

        Minor variations do not constitute a production defect, unless the discrepancy is clearly significant and not in accordance with the approved file and colour profile.<\/p>\n\n

        \n\n

        4. Exclusions from the Return Policy<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n

        4.1. Errors in files provided by the client<\/h3>\n\n

        \n\n

        4.2. Improper handling after delivery<\/h3>\n\n

        Returns are not accepted for products that show damage resulting from improper handling after delivery, including exposure to humidity, direct sunlight, or other external factors.<\/p>\n\n

        \n\n

        4.3. Subtle variations in colour and paper<\/h3>\n\n

        Subtle variations arising from the natural properties of papers or from differences in calibration between monitors and printing systems do not constitute grounds for return or exchange.<\/p>\n\n

        \n\n
