6. Information about PATIAL’s Products and Services
The information provided on the Website in the product descriptions is based on information supplied by our suppliers and is provided for information purposes only.
For this reason, PATIAL accepts no liability for any errors that may occur in such information, although it undertakes to take all reasonable measures within its control to correct such errors or omissions as soon as possible after becoming aware of them.
The vast majority of our products are handmade and may therefore present certain irregularities, variations in colour tones and dimensions that do not constitute defects or faults. These are natural characteristics resulting from the handmade production process and are what make each product unique and one of a kind. For the same reason, there may be some differences between the product and the item shown in the photograph.
In case of doubt, we recommend checking all available information and contacting us before placing an order, as returns for technical reasons shall be the sole responsibility of the customer.
6.1 Product Features
The characteristics of each product are specified on its respective product page, including the most popular colour combinations. For other combinations of features, please contact us for further information. Product images are accurate, except in the event of any error.
6.2 Sizes and Colours
The photographs are produced to a high standard in order to accurately represent each product in detail. However, there may be slight variations in colour tones and differences in the products, as the raw materials and manufacturing processes themselves may influence the final result. In some cases, the products may therefore not correspond 100% to their appearance in the photographs.
For more specific cases or if you have any doubts, we recommend checking all the information before placing an order, visiting our premises or contacting us in advance, as returns for technical reasons shall be the sole responsibility of the customer.
There may be a variation in measurements of ±2 cm.
