7 - Returns :
No returns will be accepted without the prior written agreement of Krosfou technical support, which you should contact by e-mail at [email protected] for instructions. Under no circumstances may a product <<manufactured to order>> by our factory or mentioned as such by customer service, in particular by sending an e-mail to the customer, be returned or refunded. Products delivered by Krosfou more than six months ago are not eligible for return due to constant improvements. The customer remains responsible for his parcel until it is received by the warehouse:
(1) If you have provided us with the registration number or VIN number of the vehicle for which the order was placed (in the COMMENTS box when the order was validated), and the order was delivered within the European Union, you can benefit from the FREE RETURN policy within 30 days of receiving your product, subject to the following conditions:
- that the product is in its exact original condition (unused, free from traces of assembly, etc.), in perfect working order, with all the accessories supplied,
- that the product is not a <<manufactured to order>> product,
- that the product is returned in its original packaging (cardboard box, intact packaging bag, etc.),
- that the product is placed in a return box with the returns number (sent by [email protected]) clearly visible on the outside and the product properly secured inside.
The returned product will then be taken back and reimbursed by Krosfou directly to the means of payment used to place the order, less initial delivery charges if any, once it has been received by our factory. In the event of non-compliance with the return conditions (e.g. used product), you may be charged €25 for the return of the appraised product to your address.
(2) In all other cases, you will be responsible for the cost of returning the product (and any reshipment of the appraised product to your address). Any refund (partial or total) will only be made once the product has been inspected in our factory. If your product has been delivered outside the EU, it is your responsibility to return it intact in its original packaging to the following address: Alneria Logistic, 188A Wroclawska 62-800 Kalisz Poland.

8 - Warranty :
The diesel particulate filters and catalytic converters marketed by Krosfou are covered by a 3-year WARRANTY limited to a use not exceeding 100 000 KM.
The warranty period begins on the date of receipt of the product. A fully completed technical support form is required for all warranty claims.
To be covered by their respective warranty, diesel particulate filters and catalytic converters must comply with the following conditions: their installation must have been carried out in an assembly/garage center specialized in the replacement of exhaust systems, the defects having directly damaged the part to be repaired must have been eliminated, and the assembly instructions must have been followed: in particular all gaskets, sensors, and injectors must have been replaced. The manufacturer's instructions must also be strictly observed: never start by pushing or towing, never check the operation of the engine with the ignition wires open, replace the spark plugs and engine oil regularly, and periodically check the operation of the engine at a specialized automotive technical control center.
Specific conditions that must be observed for diesel particulate filters/DPF: the use of the vehicle should not be limited to short journeys, indeed if the engine does not reach its operating temperature, the soot emitted during combustion and intercepted by the filter, can not be burned by the passive regeneration system, which has the effect of reducing the life of the DPF. In case of a DPF replacement, the catalytic converter(s) upstream and downstream of the DPF, if they exist, must be replaced.
Specific conditions to be observed for catalytic converters: the car must only run on unleaded petrol, the car must have been originally equipped with a catalytic converter, the Lambda sensor must be replaced at the same time as the used catalytic converter (after 80 000 to 100 000 KM.), if it is necessary to install a connection in front of the catalytic converter, only copper connections must be used while checking the tightness of the exhaust system, finally the catalytic converter must be adapted to the engine displacement.
The warranty is limited to the repair of the product in our factory in Poland. The total repair time, including transport, is 15 working days. This time is broken down as follows: 2 to 5 working days for dispatch to our factory, 2 to 5 working days for repair/expertise, and 2 to 5 working days for return of the product. Disassembly, immobilization of the vehicle or any other costs incurred by the customer are in no case supported by Krosfou. The warranty can only apply to parts assembled by a professional/garage having established the invoice in the name of the buyer of the product reference. Krosfou can not be held liable for any indirect damage, for any loss of profit or turnover in any way whatsoever.
Products whose failure is the result of negligence, or improper use of Krosfou diesel particulate filters or catalytic converters, will loose their warranty. In particular, a clogged DPF will not be covered by our warranty under any circumstances.
If your product has been delivered outside the European Union, it is your responsibility to return it intact in its original packaging to the following address: Alneria Logistic, 188A Wroclawska 62-800 Kalisz Poland. You will be responsible for the cost of returning the repaired/expedited product to your address.

9 - Disputes :
These Terms of Sales are subject to French law.
Krosfou can not be held liable for damages of any kind, whether tangible or intangible, which could result from a malfunction or a misuse of the products sold. Krosfou's liability can not in any case exceed the amount of the payment made for the order giving rise to that said liability.
Complaints or special requests will always be welcomed with kindness for those who make the effort to reveal a problem, and Krosfou will make its best to find an amicable solution.
Otherwise, the Commercial Court of Paris has exclusive jurisdiction, regardless of the terms of the order, the place of delivery or the method of payment accepted.
