Article 3: Site accessibility :

The Site is made available "as is", and the Customer uses it at his own expense. The Company makes every effort to ensure that the Site is accessible 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, except in the event of scheduled or unscheduled interruptions, in particular for maintenance and/or security purposes, or in the event of force majeure. In no event will the Company be liable for any damages whatsoever resulting from the Site's unavailability. The Company does not guarantee that the Site will be free from anomalies, errors or bugs, nor that the Site will operate without breakdown or interruption. In this respect, it may freely determine, at its sole discretion, any period of unavailability of the Site or its content. Nor can the Company be held responsible for data transmission, connection or network unavailability problems.

The customer declares that he/she is aware of these aspects, and that he/she is fully responsible for paying them.

Article 10 : Withdrawal :

The Company undertakes to reimburse the Customer for the price of the products returned by crediting the bank card used for payment (or, at the Customer's request, by bank transfer, provided that this does not expose the Company to additional costs), within a maximum period of fourteen (14) days following the date of receipt of the Customer's decision to cancel. The Company reserves the right to defer this reimbursement until receipt of the Product or proof of shipment of the Product, i.e. any means enabling the shipment of the Product concerned to be justified to the Company without any possible dispute.

Article 11: Legal warranties :

The Company is liable for defects in product conformity, under the conditions of articles L. 211-4 et seq. and L. 217-7 et seq. of the French Consumer Code, and for hidden defects in the item sold, under the conditions of articles 1641 et seq. of the French Civil Code. These warranties are independent, where applicable, of any warranty provided by the manufacturer of the Products and of any commercial warranty provided by the Company and mentioned on the Site. To date, and unless otherwise stated on the Site, the Company does not offer a commercial warranty.

Such warranties may be invoked by contacting the Company.

The two legal warranties available to the Customer are as follows. The applicable articles of law are cited in the appendix to these GTS.

Legal warranty of conformity :

When the Customer acts under the legal warranty of conformity, he :

  • -
  • Has a period of two months from delivery of the Product to take action, without having to prove that the defect existed prior to delivery; -
  • Can choose between repair or replacement of the good, subject to the cost conditions set out in article L. 217-9 of the French Consumer Code;
  • - Is exempted from proving the existence of the lack of conformity of the good during the two months following delivery of the good .

Legal warranty against hidden defects on products sold:

The customer may invoke the legal warranty against hidden defects in the item sold (article 1641 of the French Civil Code). In this case, the Customer may choose between rescission of the sale or a reduction in the purchase price (article 1644 of the French Civil Code). This action must be brought by the purchaser within 2 years of discovery of the defect (article 1648 of the French Civil Code) and within a maximum of five years of delivery of the Product.

It is up to the Customer to establish that the defect existed prior to delivery of the Product and was not apparent at that time.

Article 12: Reservation of title :

Products ordered will remain the property of the Company until full payment of the price. Failure to pay in full may result in the Company reclaiming the goods, which will be returned immediately and delivered at the Customer's expense and risk. During the period between delivery and transfer of ownership, the risks of loss, theft or destruction, as well as any damage that may be caused, remain the responsibility of the Customer.

Article 13 : Force majeure :

The Company's obligations will be suspended in the event of a force majeure event for as long as the circumstances giving rise to the force majeure event persist. Force majeure is understood in the sense traditionally retained by French jurisprudence.

Article 14: Intellectual property :

The use of the Site or the order of a Product does not confer on the Customer, under any circumstances, any right whatsoever over the trademarks, logos, distinctive signs, designs and more generally any content eligible for protection by an intellectual property right belonging to or operated by the Company.

Article 15: Modification of the GCS :

The Company reserves the right to modify its GCS. Any new order placed on the Site after the entry into force of the new version of the General Terms and Conditions of Sale shall imply full and complete acceptance thereof, it being noted that acceptance of the General Terms and Conditions of Sale must be reiterated with each order. If the Customer refuses to accept the new GTC, he/she will not be able to place a new order on the Site.

The GCS applicable to the order are those in force at the time of the order.

Article 16: Partial disability :

Should one or more stipulations of the GCS be deemed unlawful or invalid, such unlawfulness or invalidity shall not result in the unlawfulness or invalidity of the other stipulations of the GCS, which shall remain applicable.

Article 17: Anticipation :

The Company and the Customer exclude the application of article 1195 of the Civil Code concerning unforeseeability.

Article 18: Completeness :

These GCS constitute the entire agreement between the Company and the Customer concerning the subject matter hereof.

Article 19: Non-waiver :

The Company's failure to apply any of the provisions of the GCS, or its mere tolerance of any breach by the Customer, whether temporary or permanent, shall in no circumstances be deemed a waiver of the Company's rights.

Article 20: Applicable law :

The GCS and the relationship between the Customer and the Company are governed by French law to the exclusion of conflict of law rules, subject to the application of mandatory provisions of the law of the State where the Customer has his habitual residence if this is located within the territory of the European Union.

Article 21 : Jurisdiction :

Any dispute, claim or challenge relating to the formation, interpretation or performance of the GTCS and the order shall be submitted to the competent French courts.
