Article 8 - PAYMENT TERMS AND SECURITY
The Customer expressly acknowledges that any order placed on the Site is an order subject to payment, which requires the payment of a price in exchange for the supply of the Product ordered.
In any case, the Operator reserves the right to check the validity of the payment, before dispatching the order, by any means necessary.
The Operator uses the online payment solution : Credit Card, PayPal, ApplePay, ShopPay.
Orders can be paid for using one of the following payment methods:
Credit card, Paypal, Apple Pay, ShopPay
Payment by credit card. Payment is made directly to the secure bank servers of the Operator's bank, and the customer's bank details do not pass through the Site. Bank details communicated at the time of payment are protected by an SSL (Secure Socket Layer) encryption process. These details are therefore not accessible to third parties.
The Customer's order is registered and validated as soon as the bank accepts the payment.
The Customer's account will only be debited for the corresponding amount once (i) the credit card details have been verified and (ii) the debit has been accepted by the bank that issued the credit card.
Failure to debit the sums due will result in the immediate nullity of the sale.
In particular, the credit card may be refused if it has expired, if it has reached the maximum spending amount to which the Customer is entitled, or if the data entered is incorrect.
Paypal
Payment by electronic wallet (Paypal type). The Customer already has an account on the e-wallet used by the Operator. The customer can use this account to pay for his order in complete security without disclosing his bank details.
Where applicable, the order validated by the Customer will not be considered effective until the secure bank payment center has given its approval of the transaction.
Within the framework of control procedures, the Operator may have to ask the Customer for any documents required to finalize the order. These documents will not be used for any other purpose.
Article 9 - FORMATION OF THE CONTRACT
The contract between the Operator and the Customer is formed when the Customer sends confirmation of his order.
The Customer's attention is particularly focused on the method of acceptance of the order placed on the Site. When the Customer places an order, he/she must confirm it using the “double-click” technique, ie after selecting the Products added to the basket, the Customer must check and, if necessary, correct the contents of his/her basket ( identification, quantity of Products selected, price, delivery terms and charges) before validating it by clicking on “I confirm my delivery”, then he/she acknowledges acceptance of these GTC before clicking on the “I pay” button, and finally he/ she validates his/her order after filling in his/her bank details. The “double click” constitutes an electronic signature and is equivalent to a handwritten signature. It constitutes irrevocable and unreserved acceptance of the order by the Customer.
Communications, order forms and invoices are archived by the Operator on a reliable and durable medium so as to constitute a true and durable copy. These communications, order forms and invoices may be produced as proof of the contract. In the absence of proof to the contrary, the data recorded by the Operator on the Internet or by telephone constitutes proof of all transactions between the Operator and its Customers.
The order may be canceled by the Customer by registered letter with acknowledgment of receipt, or in writing on another durable medium, in the event of:
- delivery of a Product that does not conform to the declared characteristics of the Product;
- delivery beyond the deadline set out in the order form or, in the absence of such a deadline, within thirty (30) days of the conclusion of the contract (excluding pre-orders), after the Operator has been requested, in the same way and to no avail, to make delivery within a reasonable additional period;
- a price increase that is not justified by a technical modification of the product imposed by public authorities.
In all such cases, the customer may request reimbursement of the deposit paid, plus interest calculated at the legal rate from the date of receipt of the deposit.
The order may be canceled by the Operator in the event of:
- refusal by the purchaser to take delivery;
- non-payment of the price (or the balance of the price) at the time of delivery.
