This legal provision applies to all Vitreflam products entitled “glass by brand”.
Effects of the right of withdrawal:
The refund will take place before the end of the month following receipt of the concerned product.

However, pursuant to Article L.221-28 of the Consumer Code, this right of withdrawal cannot under any circumstances be exercised in the case of the supply of goods made according to the consumer’s specifications. This article concerns all Vitreflam products manufactured according to the measurements indicated by the customer (custom-made glass of all shapes ordered via the various calculators on the website).
