WARRANTIES
As established in Law 1480 of 2011, Title III, Chapter I, Articles 7 to 17; and in accordance with Decree 735 of 2013, which regulates warranties, Grupo Empresarial PEMC S.A.S. establishes a 30-day warranty, starting from the date the end customer receives the product. This warranty period applies to all products sold by Grupo Empresarial PEMC S.A.S.
A 60-day warranty will be offered exceptionally for the following products:
- Travel suitcases.
- Handbags
If the warranty is for quality defects or product imperfections, the first step will be to resolve the issue according to Colombian law. This means the original product will be repaired if possible. If repair is not accepted, the customer may receive a replacement product of the same model and specifications, a credit for future purchases, or a refund. Repair will be the first option. If the product cannot be repaired, the customer may choose one of the other alternatives, which must be agreed upon in writing or through any other means of proof.
The warranty coverage is limited if the customer fails to follow the product's instructions for use, and misuse is verified by quality inspectors.
The item must be clean and unaltered upon receipt.
The warranty process can be initiated by reporting any issues to the WhatsApp number +57 53162974, where instructions will be provided. The product should not be sent without prior authorization, as the Company is not responsible for what happens to the product, since tracking of its shipment is required.
Once the product is received, it will undergo a quality evaluation process to determine if it actually has a quality issue or if the problem is due to negligence on the part of the end consumer during use. An initial report will be prepared, with photographic documentation, a copy of which will be sent to the customer, detailing the product's issues and the reason for the warranty claim.
If the warranty or exchange is accepted, the customer will be notified, indicating whether the product will be repaired or if other options under Colombian law apply. In this case, shipping costs will be covered by Grupo Empresarial PEMC S.A.S.
If the warranty claim is not accepted, the customer will be responsible for the transportation costs incurred in processing the request. The company will inform the customer and provide a written notification outlining the technical reasons and supporting evidence for the decision. The customer must deposit the transportation costs into the designated account so that the item under warranty can be returned to the end consumer.
The maximum time allowed for completing the warranty process is 30 calendar days, starting from the day after the consumer or the shipping company effectively delivers the item for which the warranty claim is being made to the facilities of Grupo Empresarial PEMC S.A.S. or one of its retail locations.
Any matter not addressed herein will be resolved in accordance with Colombian law and jurisprudence on the specific issue.
RIGHT OF WITHDRAWAL
The right of withdrawal is established in Law 1480 of 2011, Title VII, Chapter V, Article 47. This right may be exercised by the end consumer within 5 business days following the date the customer receives the product.
This right only applies to purchases made through online channels; in-person sales are not covered by this right.
The end customer must contact us via WhatsApp at +57 53162974 within 5 business days following the date the product arrives at their address and the date the delivery confirmation is issued by the shipping company.
Once contact is made, the customer will be given instructions on how to exercise their right of withdrawal. The customer is responsible for the shipping costs to return the products to the indicated address. The end customer must contact us beforehand and wait for instructions before sending the products, as Grupo Empresarial PEMC S.A.S. The customer must track the shipment, and we will not be responsible for any loss of products that may occur without prior authorization. At the time of shipment, the customer must provide photographic evidence showing that the product is undamaged and in optimal condition. It is the customer's responsibility to insure the product for its original value in case of loss or damage, allowing us to file a claim with the shipping company.
Products must be returned in the same condition as when received, with all tags, labels, accessories, and any other features that do not diminish the product's value. If the product has been used, the right of withdrawal cannot be exercised, nor can it be exercised if the product shows any signs of damage.
Once it is verified that the product is in the same condition as when delivered to the customer, we will request bank account certification from the purchaser to process the refund within 15 business days of the purchase being made.
The amount paid by the customer for the original purchase will be refunded, less the shipping costs. For discounted products sold online, the legal right of withdrawal applies.
Any matter not covered herein will be resolved according to Colombian law and jurisprudence on the specific issue.
Withdrawals are not accepted for underwear or swimwear.
MISSING ITEMS
If, upon receiving the product, it is observed that the packaging is not in optimal condition, shows signs of tampering, or items are missing, the customer is responsible for noting this on the delivery slip and providing video evidence of the discrepancies at the time of receipt.
The customer must attach this evidence and send it to the email address support@monastery.com.co or via WhatsApp to +57 53162974, where they will receive instructions and further steps.
These types of claims must be made within 3 calendar days of receiving the products.
PEMC Business Group S.A.S. is not liable if, upon receiving the product, the carrier's delivery slip does not note any improper packaging or the condition in which the product arrived. Likewise, if the video provided shows that the product had already been opened or contains inconsistencies, the claim for missing items will be filed directly with the carrier.
