13. Cancellation / Deletion of account
A User may ask to cancel their Joomeo account at any time by opening a session with their Username and password and then clicking on the “REQUEST FOR ACCOUNT CANCELLATION” button or link that appears in the “MY PROFIL” section.
Following this request and after confirmation by the Photoweb Services (within 7 days maximum), the cancellation will automatically delete all content and information stored on Joomeo Services and render it inaccessible.

Photographic film development service, or photo printing on any material, is considered a provision of goods performed to Users’ specifications and clearly customized, and thus cannot be returned, according to the terms of article L. 121-20-2, paragraph 3 and article L. 121-20-2 paragraph 1 of the French Consumer Code.

If an order is received incomplete (missing elements, etc.) or with deteriorated contents, the User may file a complaint by sending written notification to the Photoweb customer service department within 14 days of receiving their package. The User must provide their order reference information in all of their correspondence.
Only technical problems or defects regarding the state of the art will be considered to be acceptable reclamations. A difference in the shade of color between the printed material and the original file will not be considered as a defect. Generally, in the event of aesthetic defects of the final item (size, exposure…) that could possibly depend on the quality of the original file sent to Joomeo, no claims may be made.
If a complaint is accepted by our customer service department, Photoweb will offer a replacement of improvement on the product or service concerned.
Nevertheless, the responsibility for Photoweb cannot be held liable in the event of sudden failure of production of one of his lab providers Photo prints s and other products offered on the site Joomeo. In case of failure of one of its providers, Photoweb will try to find a solution; otherwise it will refund orders into question.
