2. APPLICATION AND ENFORCEABILITY OF THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS

2.2. The Customer declares that he/she has read and accepted the present General Terms and Conditions of Sale before placing an Order.

2.4. In the absence of express acceptance by the Customer, any condition to the contrary shall be unenforceable against La Société, regardless of the time at which it may have been brought to La Société's attention.
2.5. The fact that the Company does not avail itself at a given time of any provision of the present GTC shall not be interpreted as a waiver of the right to avail itself at a later date of any provision of the said GTC.
3. ORDERING PRODUCTS ON THE SITE
3.1. The products offered for sale are described and presented as accurately as possible. Nevertheless, a slight variation in the color of the product(s) does not engage the responsibility of La Société and does not affect the validity of the sale.
3.2. La Société reserves the right to correct the content of the Site at any time.
3.3 In the event of unavailability of the Product ordered, the Company will immediately inform the Customer and may offer a product of equivalent quality and price or, failing this, a voucher for the amount of the order to be used on a future Order. In the event of disagreement with the Customer, the Company will refund the price of the unavailable Product. The Company is not liable for any cancellation indemnity, unless it is personally responsible for the non-performance of the contract.
3.4. The Customer can find out on the product page the period during which, or the date until which, spare parts essential for the use of the product are available on the market.
3.5. The Customer selects the product(s) he wishes to purchase, and can access the Order summary at any time.
3.6. The Order summary lists the product(s) selected by the Customer, and includes any additional charges, such as delivery costs, which are added to the price of the product(s) in the Order. The Customer may modify his/her Order and correct any errors before accepting it.
3.7. After accessing the Order summary, the Customer confirms acceptance of the Order by ticking the GTS validation box, then clicking on the Order validation icon. The words ''Order with payment obligation'' or a similar unambiguous wording will appear next to the Order validation icon to ensure that the Customer explicitly acknowledges his/her obligation to pay for the Order.
3.8. Once the General Terms and Conditions have been accepted and the Order has been validated, the contract is validly concluded between the Company and the Customer and is irrevocably binding on both parties.
3.9. Once the Order has been validated, and in order to proceed with payment, the Customer enters the contact details for delivery of the product(s) ordered, and for invoicing if different. The delivery process for the product(s) ordered is described in ARTICLE 5 of these GCS.

4. ORDER PRICE AND PAYMENT TERMS
4.1. Prices are indicated on the Site in the product descriptions, in euros, inclusive of all taxes and exclusive of delivery charges.

4.4 In the event of payment by credit card, the Site uses the Stripe security system, a service provider specializing in online payment security. This system guarantees the total confidentiality of the Customer's banking information. The bank card transaction between the Customer and the secure system is therefore fully encrypted and protected. The Customer's bank details are not stored by the Company.
4.5. The Customer guarantees the Company that he/she has the necessary authorizations to use the method of payment when placing the Order.
4.6. Communications, Orders and invoices are archived on a reliable and durable medium. They may be produced as proof of the contract, where applicable.

The Company reserves the right to suspend or cancel any execution and/or delivery of an Order, whatever its nature and level of execution, in the event of non-payment or partial payment of any sum owed by the Customer to the Company, in the event of a payment incident, or in the event of fraud or attempted fraud relating to the use of the site and the payment of an Order.

Failing this, in the event of late and/or incorrect delivery, the Customer may under no circumstances hold the Company liable for failure to deliver, and the Company's Customer Service Department will contact the Customer to arrange a second delivery at the Customer's expense. Nor shall the Company be held liable in the event of non-receipt of the products by a third party beyond its control, or in the event of theft.

If the defects and/or anomalies are confirmed by the Company, the latter will then send the Customer its instructions on how to proceed after having taken note of the complaint thus formulated and, if necessary, will proceed with the replacement of the product of which the Company would have been led to note the lack of conformity, or the defectiveness.
Should it be impossible to exchange the product, the Company will be obliged to reimburse the Customer within fourteen days of receipt of the product.
