Article 6: Retention-of-title clause

The products remain the property of the Company until full payment of the price.

​

Article 7: Delivery terms

The delivery times apply from the receipt of payment (for payments by cheque or bank transfer) or the receipt of authorisation from the payment centres (credit card).

The products are delivered to the delivery address that was supplied at the time of the order.

The average delivery time is eight days. They may be longer during busy periods (eg, Christmas and New Year). Delays do not entitle the customer to claim damages and interest. The Seller provides a telephone contact number that is included in the order confirmation email in order to ensure the monitoring of an order.

 

The Seller notes that the risks of loss or damage to the products are transferred to the Customer when he takes physical possession of the products. It is the Customer’s responsibility to check the condition of the packages in the presence of the delivery person and notify the carrier of any reservations in relation to the product delivered on the delivery slip before signing. He is also requested to confirm his reservations by registered letter to the carrier with a copy to the Company. The absence of reservations extinguishes all claims.

 

Article 8: Availability and presentation

Orders will be processed within the limits of our available stocks. If an item is unavailable, the customer will be informed, within three days, of the foreseeable delivery times and the order for the item can, on request, be cancelled. The Customer can then request a credit note for the price of the item or a refund.

 

Article 9: Payment

Payment is due immediately at the time of ordering. The Customer may pay by credit card or cheque.

 

Secure online payment by credit card is carried out by our payment service provider Stripe (or Lyra). The information transmitted is encrypted according to standard industry practices and cannot be read during transmission via the network. Stripe or Lyra are certified as a level 1 PCI service provider, the highest level of security in the payment industry.

Once the payment has been initiated by the Customer, the transaction is immediately debited, after verification of the information. In accordance with Art. L.132-2 of the (French) Monetary and Financial Code, the commitment to pay by card is irrevocable. By providing his bank details at the time of the sale, the Customer authorises the Seller to debit his card for the amount of the price as stated. The Customer confirms that he is the legal holder of the card to be debited and that he is legally entitled to use it. In the event of an error or if it is impossible to debit the card, the Sale is immediately and automatically terminated and the order cancelled.

 

If payment is made by cheque, it must be issued by a bank domiciled in mainland France or Monaco. The cheque is cashed on receipt and the order will be processed and dispatched only once the cheque has been cleared. The same applies to the order processing time in the event of a payment by bank transfer.
