However, delays or impossibility may occur due to unforeseen circumstances or events beyond the control of CIN and the contracted shipping services (Force Majeure Events).

In both cases, the Customer will be sent information of the circumstances in question and will be given the option to continue with the purchase, setting a new delivery date, or cancel the order with a full refund of the amount already paid.

The ordered products can also be picked up at a CIN store chosen by the Customer during the purchase process, as long as it is available in a list of stores available for this purpose, and at no additional cost.

In this case, an e-mail will be issued when the order is ready for pickup.

Anyone who comes to the store to collect the products purchased online must show proof of identity and display an order number or message confirming the order is ready for pick up. Without these elements, CIN will not deliver the products.

In any case, the order is considered fulfilled with the signature of receipt on the delivery receipt to the address indicated.

9. Impossibility of delivery

If it is impossible to deliver the order to the address given by the Customer, a note will be left indicating where it is and what to do to have it redelivered.
