In the event of early payment by the Customer, no discount will be applied.

In the event of late payment of any of the installments, the Seller reserves the right, without any compensation being due to the Customer, to:
– demand immediate payment of all sums due for the Products, which shall become immediately payable regardless of their initial due date;
– refuse any new orders or require cash payment or a guarantee for the proper performance of commitments for any new orders;
– apply any partial payment first to the non-preferential portion of the debt and then to the sums that have been outstanding the longest;
– reduce, suspend, or cancel orders for Products in progress, 7 days after formal notice has been given by the Seller to the Customer and has remained without effect;
– apply, without prior formal notice, to all sums due, from the first day of delay and until full payment, late payment penalties calculated at the rate referred to in Article L. 441-6 of the Commercial Code; and/or
– demand payment of a fixed compensation of €40 for recovery costs for each invoice paid late, and payment of compensation equal to 10% of the sums remaining due to it on Product Sales, without prejudice to compensation for any damage actually suffered.
The Seller shall be entitled to settle, by right and without formalities, all sums it may owe with the Customer's debts to it, whether or not the conditions for legal compensation are met.
6.2 – PAYMENT METHODS
The Customer expressly acknowledges that any order placed on the Website is an order with an obligation to pay, which requires payment of the price of the Products under the conditions set out above.
The Website uses the CREDIT AGRICOLE online payment solution.
Orders can be paid for using the following payment method:

The bank details provided during payment are protected by SSL (Secure Socket Layer) encryption. Credit cards issued by banks domiciled outside France must be international credit cards. Payment via these credit cards is made in cash, without discount.
Article 7 – DELIVERY OF PRODUCTS
7.1 Delivery
The Products ordered by the Customer cannot be delivered until the Customer has paid the amount referred to in Article 6.1 above.
Products may be delivered to the following geographical areas: mainland France only.
Once the order has been confirmed and payment made by the Customer, the Products will be shipped according to the method, address, and delivery time specified in the order summary with the corresponding invoice.
In this regard, the Customer undertakes to make every effort to ensure the proper receipt of the Products on the day of delivery. The cost of any new delivery will be borne by the Customer. Furthermore, in the event of a delivery error resulting from the provision of inaccurate information by the Customer (delivery location, accessibility of the location or any other problem) necessitating a new delivery, the related costs will be invoiced to the Customer.
With the prior agreement of the Seller, the Customer may collect the Products ordered from the location indicated by the Seller.
The delivery times indicated when orders are placed are for information purposes only and depend on the availability of the Products ordered and the delivery times applied by the Seller's partners.
Delivery delays, provided they are reasonable, shall not give rise to any right to cancel the sale, refuse the goods, or claim damages. However, in the event of a delay of more than 30 days, the Customer shall be entitled to request the cancellation of the sale, and any deposits already paid shall be refunded by the Seller.
In the event of delivery outside mainland France, the Customer shall be considered the importer of the Products and shall be required to comply with the regulations of the country of delivery, it being specified that cross-border deliveries may, where applicable, be subject to opening and inspection by the customs authorities.
7.2 Compliance of the delivery
The number and condition of the Products must be checked by the Customer at the time of delivery.
The Seller shall be required to take back the Products in the event of delivery of non-compliant or damaged Products.
The Customer must report any apparent defects, missing products, or damage to the carrier in writing, with clear, precise, and complete reservations on the delivery note. The Customer must confirm their complaint to the Seller and the carrier by registered letter with acknowledgment of receipt within seven (7) days of delivery of the goods.
The Seller will validate the return request and send the Customer a return slip by email to be included with the shipment of the Products.
The Customer must return the non-compliant Product to the Seller as soon as possible.
Unless the Seller's sole responsibility is indisputably established or expressly acknowledged by the Seller, the costs and risks of return shall be borne by the Customer. The Seller reserves the right to refuse the return if the Products are not in their original condition.
If the Customer fails to comply with the above procedure, the Customer will be deemed to have waived any action against the Seller and/or the carrier and to have received the goods in good condition and in good working order. The Seller will therefore not accept any claims, returns or requests for credit from the Customer.
Article 8 – RIGHT OF WITHDRAWAL
In accordance with the legal provisions in force, the Customer has a period of fourteen (14) clear days from the date of receipt of the order to exercise their right of withdrawal from the Seller, without having to justify their reasons or pay a penalty. If this period expires on a Saturday, Sunday, or public holiday, it is extended to the next working day.
Notification of the exercise of the right of withdrawal must be made by mail or email (via the "Contact" page on the Website) to the Seller, using the form below.
The Customer is required to return the Products covered by the order in their original condition, unopened, unused, and unworn, no later than fourteen (14) days after notifying the Seller of their intention to exercise their right of withdrawal. Return shipping costs are the responsibility of the Customer and will not be reimbursed by the Seller, unless expressly agreed by the latter.
The refund of the order price and any delivery costs will be made within a maximum of fourteen (14) working days from the date of receipt by the Seller of the Products returned by the Customer, using the same payment method as that used by the Customer to pay for the order.
In the event of withdrawal, the sales contract and, where applicable, the Subscription, shall be terminated.
Article 9 – OWNERSHIP AND RISKS
9.1 – Retention of title
Notwithstanding the provisions of Article 1583 of the Civil Code, it is expressly agreed with the Customer that the transfer of ownership of the Products delivered is suspended until full and effective payment of the principal price, interest, taxes, and all incidental costs. The delivery of bills of exchange, bank checks, or any other instrument creating an obligation to pay does not constitute effective payment in this regard.
Acceptance of deliveries or documents relating to these deliveries constitutes acceptance of this clause.
In the event of failure to pay the price on the agreed due date, the Seller expressly reserves the right to consider the sale terminated and to reclaim the said Products after formal notice by registered letter or bailiff's summons has remained without effect within fourteen (14) days of its presentation.
As long as the Products do not belong to the Customer, the Customer is prohibited from disposing of them, in particular from pledging them, exchanging them, or transferring ownership of them as collateral. However, as a concession and solely for the purposes of its business, the Seller authorizes the Customer to resell the Products. The Customer therefore undertakes to inform its customers, professional resellers, of the existence of the retention of title clause on the Products and of the Seller's right to claim, from them, either the disputed Products or the price.
In return, the Customer also undertakes to identify the Products subject to retention of title not only at the end of the financial year but on an ongoing basis, by any means at its convenience. The Customer must include the Products subject to retention of title in the assets of its balance sheet. Products awaiting sale are presumed to be unpaid up to the amount of the seller's claim according to the "first in, first out" (FIFO) rule, i.e., any payment by the Customer will be allocated to the oldest Products, and the Products subject to the last delivery will always be considered as "
" subject to retention of title.
Notwithstanding the fact that the Customer will only take ownership of the Products upon actual payment, the transfer of risks relating to the Products to the Customer will take place under the conditions set out below. The Customer therefore undertakes to take all necessary care in the custody and preservation of the said goods.
The Customer shall immediately notify the Seller by any means ensuring perfect communication of any event likely to compromise its right of ownership, in particular the opening of safeguard, liquidation or receivership proceedings, seizure or any other protective measure. In the event of the initiation of safeguard, liquidation, or receivership proceedings, the Customer undertakes to participate in the establishment of an inventory of the Products in its stocks and for which the Seller claims ownership or payment, and to assist the Seller effectively in the claim procedure brought before the competent authorities. In the event of seizure or any other protective measure on the Products delivered by the Seller, the Customer shall raise all protests against the third party and take all protective and enforcement measures.
All legal and judicial costs incurred in recovering the Products subject to retention of title or their price shall be borne by the Customer.
9.2 – Transfer of risks
The Products shall be at the Customer's expense and risk from the moment they are handed over to the carrier or collected by the Customer.
In this case, the Seller shall be deemed to have fulfilled its delivery obligation once it has handed over the Products to the carrier and the latter has accepted them without reservation. The Customer shall have no recourse against the Seller in the event of non-delivery or non-conformity of the Products upon delivery.
The Customer shall therefore take out all necessary insurance policies covering the risks of loss, destruction, or theft of the goods for which the risks have been transferred.
Article 10 – WARRANTY
Any return of defective Products or Products with material, design, or manufacturing defects requires the prior written consent of the Seller. Unless the Seller's liability is indisputably established or expressly acknowledged by the Seller, the costs and risks of return shall be borne by the Customer. The Seller reserves the right to refuse the return if the Products are not in their original condition.
No returns of unsold Products will be accepted.
Any defective Product may be repaired, replaced with an identical or equivalent product, or refunded, depending on the solution that the Seller or the manufacturers concerned deem most appropriate, except in the following cases:
– alteration or modification of the Products;
– abnormal or improper use of the Products;
– defects and consequences related to use that is not in accordance with the intended use of the Products;
– defects and consequences related to any external cause;
– normal wear and tear of the Products;
– failure by the Customer to comply with the return procedure.
In the event of a dispute over the warranty coverage of a Product, the parties shall make every effort to reach an amicable settlement of the situation.
In the absence of an amicable settlement and in the event of sufficiently serious non-performance by the Seller, the Customer may automatically terminate the sale and, where applicable, obtain damages from the Seller in order to compensate for the loss suffered, the Customer waiving in advance the right to seek specific performance of the Products by the Seller or a third party or a proportional reduction in price, by express derogation from the provisions of Articles 1221, 1222, and 1223 of the Civil Code.
Article 11 – AVAILABILITY OF THE
WEBSITE The Seller shall endeavor to ensure access to and proper functioning of the Website 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
However, the Seller cannot rule out the possibility that access to and operation of the Website may be interrupted, particularly in the event of force majeure, malfunction of the Customers' equipment or internet network, failure of telecommunications operators, interruption of electricity supply, abnormal, unlawful or fraudulent use of the Website by a Customer or a third party, decisions by the competent authorities, or for any other reason.

The Seller shall not be liable for any indirect or immaterial damage or loss, such as financial loss, loss of opportunity, loss of profit, loss of contract, loss of order, loss of customers, loss of business, commercial damage or disruption, or damage to image, which may result from the delivery of non-compliant or defective Products or the non-delivery of Products.
As the sale of Products and these General Terms and Conditions comply with French law, the Seller cannot be held liable for any failure to comply with the laws of another country when the Customer places an order for a Product from another country.
In any event and in all cases of return, if the Seller is held liable, this liability shall in no case exceed the purchase price of the goods paid by the Customer.
In accordance with the provisions of Article 2254 of the Civil Code, any legal action by a Customer against the Seller shall be time-barred at the end of a period of one (1) year following the date on which the Customer concerned became aware or is presumed to have become aware of the harmful event.
Article 13 – RECORDING SYSTEMS
The computerized records stored in the Seller's and its partners' computer systems under reasonable security conditions shall be considered as proof of communications and actions between Customers and the Seller. These items are archived on a reliable and durable medium so as to correspond to a faithful and durable copy within the meaning of the applicable regulations.
Each Customer acknowledges the value of the evidence provided by the Site's automated recording systems, declares that they will not contest them in the event of a dispute, and acknowledges that these elements have the same probative value as a handwritten signature in accordance with Law No. 2000-230 of March 13, 2000, adapting the law of evidence to information technology and relating to electronic signatures.

ANNEXE 1 – DISPOSITIONS LEGALES
Article L. 217-4 du code de la consommation :
« Le vendeur livre un bien conforme au contrat et répond des défauts de conformité existant lors de la délivrance.
Il répond également des défauts de conformité résultant de l’emballage, des instructions de montage ou de l’installation lorsque celle-ci a été mise à sa charge par le contrat ou a été réalisée sous sa responsabilité ».
Article L. 217-5 du code de la consommation :
« Le bien est conforme au contrat : 1° S’il est propre à l’usage habituellement attendu d’un bien semblable et, le cas échéant :
– s’il correspond à la description donnée par le vendeur et possède les qualités que celui-ci a présentées à l’acheteur sous forme d’échantillon ou de modèle ;
– s’il présente les qualités qu’un acheteur peut légitimement attendre eu égard aux déclarations publiques faites par le vendeur, par le producteur ou par son représentant, notamment dans la publicité ou l’étiquetage ;
2° Ou s’il présente les caractéristiques définies d’un commun accord par les parties ou est propre à tout usage spécial recherché par l’acheteur, porté à la connaissance du vendeur et que ce dernier a accepté ».
Article L. 217-12 du code de la consommation :
« L’action résultant du défaut de conformité se prescrit par deux ans à compter de la délivrance du bien ».
Article L. 217-16 du code de la consommation :
« Lorsque l’acheteur demande au vendeur, pendant le cours de la garantie commerciale qui lui a été consentie lors de l’acquisition ou de la réparation d’un bien meuble, une remise en état couverte par la garantie, toute période d’immobilisation d’au moins sept jours vient s’ajouter à la durée de la garantie qui restait à courir.
Cette période court à compter de la demande d’intervention de l’acheteur ou de la mise à disposition pour réparation du bien en cause, si cette mise à disposition est postérieure à la demande d’intervention ».
Article L. 217-18 du code de la consommation :
« Le consommateur dispose d’un délai de quatorze jours pour exercer son droit de rétractation d’un contrat conclu à distance, à la suite d’un démarchage téléphonique ou hors établissement, sans avoir à motiver sa décision ni à supporter d’autres coûts que ceux prévus aux articles L. 221-23 à L. 221-25.
Le délai mentionné au premier alinéa court à compter du jour :
1° De la conclusion du contrat, pour les contrats de prestation de services et ceux mentionnés à l’article L. 221-4 ;
2° De la réception du bien par le consommateur ou un tiers, autre que le transporteur, désigné par lui, pour les contrats de vente de biens. Pour les contrats conclus hors établissement, le consommateur peut exercer son droit de rétractation à compter de la conclusion du contrat.
Dans le cas d’une commande portant sur plusieurs biens livrés séparément ou dans le cas d’une commande d’un bien composé de lots ou de pièces multiples dont la livraison est échelonnée sur une période définie, le délai court à compter de la réception du dernier bien ou lot ou de la dernière pièce.
Pour les contrats prévoyant la livraison régulière de biens pendant une période définie, le délai court à compter de la réception du premier bien ».
Article L. 221-21 du code de la consommation :
« Le consommateur exerce son droit de rétractation en informant le professionnel de sa décision de se rétracter par l’envoi, avant l’expiration du délai prévu à l’article L. 221-18, du formulaire de rétractation mentionné au 2° de l’article L. 221-5 ou de toute autre déclaration, dénuée d’ambiguïté, exprimant sa volonté de se rétracter.
Le professionnel peut également permettre au consommateur de remplir et de transmettre en ligne, sur son site internet, le formulaire ou la déclaration prévus au premier alinéa. Dans cette hypothèse, le professionnel communique, sans délai, au consommateur un accusé de réception de la rétractation sur un support durable ».
Article L. 221-23 du code de la consommation :
« Le consommateur renvoie ou restitue les biens au professionnel ou à une personne désignée par ce dernier, sans retard excessif et, au plus tard, dans les quatorze jours suivant la communication de sa décision de se rétracter conformément à l’article L. 221-21, à moins que le professionnel ne propose de récupérer lui-même ces biens.
Le consommateur ne supporte que les coûts directs de renvoi des biens, sauf si le professionnel accepte de les prendre à sa charge ou s’il a omis d’informer le consommateur que ces coûts sont à sa charge. Néanmoins, pour les contrats conclus hors établissement, lorsque les biens sont livrés au domicile du consommateur au moment de la conclusion du contrat, le professionnel récupère les biens à ses frais s’ils
ne peuvent pas être renvoyés normalement par voie postale en raison de leur nature.
La responsabilité du consommateur ne peut être engagée qu’en cas de dépréciation des biens résultant de manipulations autres que celles nécessaires pour établir la nature, les caractéristiques et le bon fonctionnement de ces biens, sous réserve que le professionnel ait informé le consommateur de son droit de rétractation, conformément au 2° de l’article L. 221-5 ».
Article L. 221-24 du code de la consommation :
« Lorsque le droit de rétractation est exercé, le professionnel rembourse le consommateur de la totalité des sommes versées, y compris les frais de livraison, sans retard injustifié et au plus tard dans les quatorze jours à compter de la date à laquelle il est informé de la décision du consommateur de se rétracter.
Pour les contrats de vente de biens, à moins qu’il ne propose de récupérer lui-même les biens, le professionnel peut différer le remboursement jusqu’à récupération des biens ou jusqu’à ce que le consommateur ait fourni une preuve de l’expédition de ces biens, la date retenue étant celle du premier de ces faits.
Le professionnel effectue ce remboursement en utilisant le même moyen de paiement que celui utilisé par le consommateur pour la transaction initiale, sauf accord exprès du consommateur pour qu’il utilise un autre moyen de paiement et dans la mesure où le remboursement n’occasionne pas de frais pour le consommateur.
Le professionnel n’est pas tenu de rembourser les frais supplémentaires si le consommateur a expressément choisi un mode de livraison plus coûteux que le mode de livraison standard proposé par le professionnel ».
Article L. 221-27 du code de la consommation :
« L’exercice du droit de rétractation met fin à l’obligation des parties soit d’exécuter le contrat à distance ou le contrat hors établissement, soit de le conclure lorsque le consommateur a fait une offre.
L’exercice du droit de rétractation d’un contrat principal à distance ou hors établissement met automatiquement fin à tout contrat accessoire, sans frais pour le consommateur autres que ceux prévus aux articles L. 221-23 à L. 221-25 ».
Article L. 612-1 du code de la consommation :
« Tout consommateur a le droit de recourir gratuitement à un médiateur de la consommation en vue de la résolution amiable du litige qui l’oppose à un professionnel. A cet effet, le professionnel garantit au consommateur le recours effectif à un dispositif de médiation de la consommation.
Le professionnel peut mettre en place son propre dispositif de médiation de la consommation ou proposer au consommateur le recours à tout autre médiateur de la consommation répondant aux exigences du présent titre.
Lorsqu’il existe un médiateur de la consommation dont la compétence s’étend à l’ensemble des entreprises d’un domaine d’activité économique dont il relève, le professionnel permet toujours au consommateur d’y recourir.
Les modalités selon lesquelles le processus de médiation est mis en œuvre sont précisées par décret en Conseil d’Etat ».
Article L. 612-2 du code de la consommation :
« Un litige ne peut être examiné par le médiateur de la consommation lorsque :
1° Le consommateur ne justifie pas avoir tenté, au préalable, de résoudre son litige directement auprès du professionnel par une réclamation écrite selon les modalités prévues, le cas échéant, dans le contrat ;
2° La demande est manifestement infondée ou abusive ;
3° Le litige a été précédemment examiné ou est en cours d’examen par un autre médiateur ou par un tribunal ;
4° Le consommateur a introduit sa demande auprès du médiateur dans un délai supérieur à un an à compter de sa réclamation écrite auprès du professionnel ;
5° Le litige n’entre pas dans son champ de compétence.
Le consommateur est informé par le médiateur, dans un délai de trois semaines à compter de la réception de son dossier, du rejet de sa demande de médiation ».
Article 1641 du code civil :
« Le vendeur est tenu de la garantie à raison des défauts cachés de la chose vendue qui la rendent impropre à l’usage auquel on la destine, ou qui diminuent tellement cet usage, que l’acheteur ne l’aurait pas acquise, ou n’en aurait donné qu’un moindre prix, s’il les avait connus ».
Article 1648 alinéa 1 er du code civil
« L’action résultant des vices rédhibitoires doit être intentée par l’acquéreur dans un délai de deux ans à compter de la découverte du vice ».
