• personal taste of the user;
• printed colours not matching the colours of the client’s monitor;
• size of photos not matching the chosen format;
• files damaged by the client during processing (for example, too low resolution or too high compression).

In all other cases the user must contact our customer service via email at info@ilfotoalbum.com within a maximum of 10 days within receipt of the goods, indicating the nature of the problem and accompanying the request with at least 3 photos of the damaged goods. Once the defects have been verified, the goods will be picked up at our expense and reprinted, replaced and/or fixed at no charge.

In cases in which it will not be possible to establish clearly and unambiguously the objectivity of the problem through the photos supplied, the user must send, at his/her expense, the disputed goods to this address:

ilFotoalbum S.R.L.
