To register, the User must fill in all the mandatory fields; otherwise registration cannot be completed.
Users guarantee and declare on their honour that all the information communicated on the Site,
in particular when registering, is accurate and true. They undertake to update their personal information from the page dedicated to this information and available in their account.
All registered Users have a username and password. These are strictly personal and confidential and may under no circumstances be communicated to third parties, failing which the registered User’s account will be deleted. Each Registered User is personally responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of his/her login and password. Under no circumstances will the Company be held responsible for the usurpation of a User’s identity. If a User suspects fraud at any time, he/she must contact the Company as soon as possible so that the latter can take the necessary measures and rectify the situation.
Each User, whether a legal entity or an individual, may only hold one account on the Site.
In the event of non-compliance with the GCS/GU, in particular the creation of several accounts for a single person or the provision of false information, the Company reserves the right to temporarily or permanently delete all accounts created by the offending User.
The deletion of an account entails the permanent loss of all benefits and services acquired on the Site.
However, any Orders placed and invoiced by the Site before the account is deleted will be carried out under normal conditions.
In the event of deletion of an account by the Company for failure to comply with the duties and obligations set out in the GCS/GU, the offending User is formally prohibited from re-registering on the Site directly, via another e-mail address or through an intermediary without the express authorisation of the Company.

Orders can only be placed once the User has registered on the Site. Once logged into their account, Users can add Products to their virtual basket. They can then access the summary of their virtual basket to confirm the Products they wish to order and place their Order by pressing the “Order” button.
The Customer must enter a valid address, delivery method and payment method in order to finalise the Order and effectively form the sales contract between the Customer and the Company. Completion of the Order implies acceptance of the prices of the Products sold, as well as the delivery terms and times indicated on the Site.
Once the Order has been placed, the User will receive confirmation by e-mail. This confirmation will include a summary of the Order and relevant delivery information. Placing an Order constitutes the conclusion of a distance selling contract between the Company and the Customer.

The Products covered by the GCS/GU are those which appear on the Site and which are sold and dispatched directly by the Company.
The Products are described on the corresponding page within the Site and mention is made of all their essential characteristics. Sales are subject to the Company’s available stocks. The Company cannot be held responsible for stock shortages or for the impossibility of selling a Product for which there is no stock.
When a registered User wishes to purchase a Product sold by the Company via the Site, the price indicated on the Product page corresponds to the price in euros, including all taxes (TTC), excluding delivery costs and taking into account applicable discounts in force on the day of the Order. The price indicated does not include delivery costs, which will be detailed, where applicable, in the summary before the Order is placed. If the total cost of the Products cannot be calculated in advance, the Company will send the Customer a detailed quotation setting out the price calculation formula.
Under no circumstances may a User demand the application of discounts that are no longer in force on the date of the Order.
7) Terms of payment
Unless otherwise stipulated, all sales are payable in cash when the Order is placed.
Depending on the nature or value of the Order, the Company remains free to require a deposit or payment of the full price when the Order is placed or when the invoice is received.
Payment may be made by :
– Bank transfer
– Credit card via a secure connection
In the event of total or partial non-payment of the Products by the date agreed on the invoice, the Professional Customer shall pay the Company a late payment penalty equal to the rate applied by the European Central Bank for its refinancing operation plus 10 percentage points.
The financing operation used is the most recent at the date of the Service Order.
In addition to the late payment penalties, any sum, including the deposit, not paid on the due date by the Professional Customer will automatically give rise to the payment of a fixed penalty of 40 euros due by way of recovery costs.
In the event of non-payment of all or part of the Products by the date agreed on the invoice, the Consumer Customer shall pay the Company a late payment penalty at a rate equal to the legal interest rate.
No compensation may be made by the Customer between penalties for late supply of Products ordered and sums owed by the Customer to the Company in respect of the purchase of Products offered on the Site.
The penalty owed by the Customer, whether Professional or Consumer, is calculated on the amount, inclusive of tax, of the remaining sum due, and runs from the due date of the price without the need for any prior formal notice.

12) Legal warranties
The Products sold on the Site are guaranteed in accordance with the legal provisions of the Consumer Code and the Civil Code as reproduced below:
Article L.217-4 of the French Consumer Code:
“The seller shall deliver goods in conformity with the contract and shall be liable for any defects in conformity existing at the time of delivery.
He shall also be liable for any lack of conformity resulting from the packaging, the assembly instructions or the installation when the latter was his responsibility under the contract or was carried out under his responsibility. “
Article L.217-5 of the French Consumer Code:
“The good conforms to the contract:
1° If it is fit for the purpose usually expected of similar goods and, where applicable :
– if it corresponds to the description given by the seller and has the qualities that the seller presented to the buyer in the form of a sample or model ;
– if it has the qualities that a purchaser may legitimately expect having regard to public statements made by the seller, the producer or his representative, particularly in advertising or labelling;
2° Or if it has the characteristics defined by mutual agreement between the parties or is suitable for any special use sought by the buyer, brought to the attention of the seller and accepted by the latter”.
Article 1641 of the French Civil Code:
“The seller is liable for any hidden defects in the item sold that render it unfit for its intended use, or that reduce this use to such an extent that the buyer would not have purchased it, or would only have paid a lower price for it, if he had known about them”.
Any Product resold that has been altered, modified or transformed is not covered by the warranty.
The warranty is limited to the replacement or reimbursement of Products that do not conform or are affected by a defect. It is excluded in the event of misuse or abnormal use of the Product as well as in the event that the Product does not comply with the legislation of the country to which it is delivered.
The Customer must inform the Company of the existence of any defects within a period of two years. The Company will, as far as possible, rectify any Products found to be defective. If the Company’s liability is accepted, the guarantee is limited to the amount paid (excluding VAT) by the Consumer for the supply of the Products.
Replacement of the Products does not have the effect of extending the duration of the guarantee.
