2.Sell your products: our take-back service for your Ami products

2.1 Which product can I return an AMI product via the Site?

You can send us your products which we will then put on sale on the Site, by going to the “Sell” section. Only AMI products may be offered for sale on the Site, it being specified that the brand label must be visible. Products without a brand or whose interior composition label (containing the item reference number) is cut off are therefore not accepted.

Furthermore, the Site only lists products whose types and sizes are defined in the list made available in the automatic recovery module accessible in the “Sell” section of the Site.
By requesting to benefit from our take-back service for your Ami product, you declare:
  • Be the owner of this product and reside in mainland France (including Corsica)
  • Have the legal capacity and all necessary authorizations to offer the product for sale
  • Commit yourself contractually to the veracity of the information given when requesting a return of your product
  • Provide all necessary information on the quality and condition of the product
  • Do not send counterfeit products: the Site may request a certificate of authenticity to verify the information you provide. We reserve the right to verify the authenticity of the products you wish to have returned and we will refuse a product if we consider it to be counterfeit. Thus, upon simple request from us, you must provide us with the original copy and/or an electronic copy of any element capable of proving ownership of the product as well as its authenticity.

In addition, any AMI product for which you wish to benefit from our take-back service must be in one of the following states:
  • New condition: the product has never been worn. It still has its original label.
  • Excellent Condition: the product is practically new, with no signs of wear or visible defects.
  • Very good condition: the product shows only minor signs of wear.

Before sending your product, check that it has no defects, holes or stains or any signs of wear such as scratches, and that it falls into one of the 3 categories above. No product sent to us will be returned. It is your responsibility to ensure that your product meets the return criteria.

We will check upon receipt of your product that the category you entered in the return module is consistent with the condition of your product and that it still has its brand label and interior label. If this was not the case:
  • The amount of your voucher will be reduced to correspond to the actual condition of the product if it remains in one of the categories above allowing it to be resold on the Site
  • No purchase voucher will be granted to you if we notice upon receipt that your product has fatal defects which do not allow it to be offered for sale on the Site and the product will not be returned to you

2.2 How to benefit from our take-back service for your AMI products?

To benefit from our take-back service for your AMI products, nothing could be simpler!

  • Go to our Site and select the “Sell” section;
  • Indicate the characteristics of your product by filling in the fields accessible in the “Sell” section of the Site then obtain an estimate of our Trade-in Offer for your product using the automatic calculator. This estimate is based on internal criteria (such as product type, original value, declared condition, etc.) and is generated automatically.

If it appears that the announced condition of your product does not correspond to the reality of its condition (which would be the case for example if you indicated in the Sales module that your product was in “New condition” whereas it is in “Very Good Condition”), then the amount of the associated credit will be reduced compared to the trade-in offer estimated by our automatic calculator, without you being able to request a return of the product.
If your package unfortunately does not arrive at our address or is damaged during transport, we will let you open a complaint with Chronopost. No claim or compensation may be required from AMI.

2.3 What happens if the condition of my product is deemed insufficient to be sold on the Site?
