I'd take it back to the shop, they shouldnt sieze like that. Unfortunately its not a very good fork, with no adjustments so fixing it may be impossible. You could try dismantling it and greasing it.
Replacements would not be that easy to come buy as they use an outdated fitting sytem.0 -
o , thanks for the tip , Is dismantling the forks easy ?0

Depends on the fork. Many of the type you have do not have a service guide. It may have bolts on the bottom of the lower legs allowing you to pull them apart, but you have to be careful. I'd just take the bike back.0
