The Customer may be held liable in the event of depreciation of goods resulting from handling other than that necessary to establish the nature and characteristics of such goods.

In the event of the Customer's withdrawal, the Seller shall refund all payments received from the Customer, including delivery costs (except for any additional costs arising from the fact that the Customer has chosen, where applicable, a method of delivery other than the cheaper standard method of delivery offered by the Seller) without undue delay and no later than 14 days from the day on which the Seller is informed of the Customer's decision to withdraw.

The address to which the reservations must be notified will be indicated to the Customer in the package.

Failure to comply with these formalities does not deprive the Customer of his right to claim non-conformity of the products, the seller bearing the risk of transport. On the other hand, failure to comply with these formalities shall oblige the Customer to compensate the Seller for any loss suffered as a result of the latter's loss of its recourse against the carrier.

 

  1. LEGAL GUARANTEE OF CONFORMITY

All products supplied by the Seller benefit from the legal guarantee of conformity provided for in Art. L. 217-4 to L. 217-14, L. 411-1 and L. 411-2 of the Consumer Code for the benefit of the consumer, and the legal guarantee of hidden defects provided for in articles 1641 et seq. of the Civil Code.

When acting as a legal guarantee of conformity, the consumer :

- shall be exempt from furnishing proof of the existence of the lack of conformity of the goods during the 24 months following delivery of the goods.

- shall have a period of two years from the date of delivery of the property to act;

- may choose between repairing or replacing the good, subject to certain cost conditions provided for in Articles L. 217-9 et seq. of the French Consumer Code

The consumer may decide to implement the guarantee against hidden defects of the thing sold within the meaning of Article 1641 of the Civil Code. In this case, the customer can choose between cancellation of the sale or a reduction of the sale price in accordance with Article 1644 of the Civil Code.

The information relating to all orders is stored and archived for as long as necessary for the proper conduct of business relations in conditions of enhanced security and may serve as evidence in the event of a dispute.

The data collected relating to the delivery of the purchased goods may be communicated to the Seller's partners for the delivery of the purchases. The personal data collected by the Seller may be used in the context of direct marketing operations carried out by mail, email, after prior consent of the Customer. However, the Seller may use this personal data for marketing operations relating to similar products.

Personal data may also be communicated to the Vendor's partner or related companies, but the Customer may expressly oppose such communication for marketing purposes, as soon as it is collected or subsequently by writing to the Vendor by e-mail or to the address of its registered office.

The Customer may exercise his/her right to access, rectify or delete such personal data and object to such data being used for prospecting purposes, in particular for commercial purposes, under the conditions provided for by amended Act 78-17 of January 6, 1978 and by EU Regulation No. 2016/679 on the protection of personal data of April 27, 2016.
