English term or phrase: service department (here) = service après-vente?
If the toaster or cord is damaged, we advise you not to use the appliance and to take it to the retailer for repair. Damaged cords may only be replaced by the Princess SERVICE DEPARTMENT.
J'ai le sentiment qu'ils ont voulu dire ici "Service après-vente", non? Car "service department" signifie normalement "service auxiliaire", qui ne me semble pas adapté dans notre contexte. De plus, je vois une erreur d'emploi du verbe "pouvoir" traduit par un MAY, alors qu'il aurait fallu un CAN.
Merci pour votre confirmation ou infirmation.
