The provider may delete a user account on its own initiative. This deletion may be due to account inactivity for a given period of time, and/or a temporary measure taken by the Provider against a suspicious account, for example, when the Provider may have good reason to believe that the User does not comply with these General Terms and Conditions, and/or when a request is made by a third party who alleges a violation of the rights of the former.

Quality of information and content – description of the products

The Provider is only under a best endeavours obligation; it does not bear any obligation of result of any kind whatsoever.
Generally speaking, the Provider does not guarantee the completeness, comprehensiveness, accuracy, legitimacy, reliability or availability of the content and information on the Site. It will implement all of the means available in order to offer a quality content to Customers.
The Provider makes every possible effort to ensure that the information describing the Products is as accurate and precise as possible. However, due to the sector of activity, it is not possible to guarantee the accuracy of this data, particularly with regard to the size of the Product, its weight, exact dimensions and measures, etc.
The images appearing on the Site are not contractual and have the sole purpose of illustrating the Site. The purchased Product may, therefore, differ from the images.
The offers and prices are stated in euros (and, unless otherwise, excluding VAT) and are only valid on the date the order is placed. Independently of a specific ordering process, they may be changed at any time without notice. Only the price stated on the Site shall prevail between the Parties. However, given the large amount of data appearing on the Site, some may be inaccurate; to that end, if the price stated is clearly wrong, the Customer may not demand that the sale be concluded at this price.

Security/Access

The Provider endeavours reasonably and with due diligence to maintain the operational security and integrity of the Site and the services provided through it by adopting security measures appropriate to the nature of the data and the risks inherent in its activity. However, many factors outside of the Provider’s control can interfere with the operation of the Site. Therefore, the Provider does not guarantee continuous, uninterrupted or secure access to its services. Correlatively, The Service Provider may in no case be responsible for an interruption of access to the Site, and of the consequences that may arise therefrom.
The Provider can never be held responsible for any damages (direct or indirect) or temporary or permanent incident that may be caused to the Customer’s computer data or hardware when accessing the Site or during a visit to his/her account or generally during the transmission on his/her receiving device of files and software that comprise the Site.

Updating

Despite its efforts to ensure the accuracy of the information and/or documents on the Site the Provider disclaims all liability of any nature whatsoever, in the event of inaccuracy or failure to update information and/or a document present on the Site, within the limits permitted by the law.

Damages

Within the limits laid down by the law, the Provider shall not be held responsible for the damages sustained by the Customer related to a case of force majeure or linked to any commercial harm, loss of goodwill, loss of brand image, commercial problems or any other indirect damages arising out of or in connection with the sale of Products, the access to the Site or the use of services provided through it. In any event, the potential liability of the Provider for damages suffered by the Customer due to a failure by the Provider can never exceed the value of the Products acquired by the Customer and for which such a failure is alleged.

Conclusion of the contract of sale

Online order and confirmation

All orders placed on the Site is divided into several stages: each stage is validated by clicking on the confirmation icon. The order process follows a logical, transparent path displayed to the Customer via suitable page design and graphics. The order process allows errors to be corrected, particularly with the provision, at the end of the order process, of a summary that the Customer is invited to validate (or not, by going back to make any changes). 
The Provider is bound by the order placed by the Customer once it has sent an e-mail confirming acceptance and process of the order. This confirmation e-mail sets out the details of the order.
Where appropriate, the order may not be validated by the Provider. Especially under one of the following hypotheses:

• the Article is not in stock (even if, in principle, only the Products available in stock are put up for sale on the Site);
• the issuer of the bank card refuses to validate the payment or in the event of suspicion of fraud;
• the Products are ordered in an unusual number or to an address to which the Provider cannot undertake to deliver.

If the order is not validated, the sums, if any, by the Provider are fully refunded to the Customer.

Payment and invoice

In principle, any Product purchased online must also be paid on the Site, at the time of order, by using one of the means of payment accepted by the Provider (payment by credit card, for example). As an exception, the Parties may agree that the payment will be made upon receipt of the invoice.
In any event, any order will result in the issue of an invoice. The Customer agrees that this invoice may be issued, where appropriate, in electronic format.
Unless otherwise, all invoices are payable in cash, net, without discount, on the due date.
The non-payment of a single invoice on the due date automatically renders the balance outstanding on all other invoices due, even those not due. Invoices automatically bear an interest by right from the due date at the rate of 1,5% per month of delay without prior formal notice, in a deviation from Article 1146 of the Civil Code.
Pursuant to Article 1229 of the same Code and the Act of 02 August 2002 concerning the fight against late payment in commercial transactions, if an invoice is not paid on the due date, the damages are fixed, by mutual agreement, at a flat rate of 15% of the unpaid amount with a minimum of €25.00 as an irreducible penalty clause, without prejudice to the potential application of Article 1244 of the Civil Code. The Provider also reserves the right to claim, in addition to this lump sum, reasonable compensation for all the other recovery costs in addition to this lump sum and incurred as a result of the late payment, including procedural compensation in accordance with the provisions of Judicial Code.
The formal notice costs by registered letter and the legal and judicial officer costs will be charged to the client.
All complaints related to an invoice must be submitted in writing within the 15 days following the reception of the invoice by the Customer. After this period the invoice is definitely considered accepted by the Customer and no complaint will be considered.
Any other complaint should be submitted by registered letter within the 8 days following the delivery and/or installation date. The Provider retains title to the products being sold until the price has been paid in full.

Delivery

The Customer may ask the Provider to organise the delivery of the ordered Product (at the expense of the Customer) or to pick up the Products directly at the Provider’s.
If the delivery option is chosen, the Provider undertakes to make every possible effort to deliver the ordered Product within the period indicated in the confirmation e-mail. The delivery delays mentioned on the site are provided for information purposes only. They correspond to the usual average period for processing and deliver Unless the Parties agree to a binding delivery delay, the Parties acknowledge and accept that no compensation can be obtained in the event of late delivery.
Unless otherwise agreed by the Parties, the risk of loss or damage of the Products is transferred to the Customer at the moment of the conclusion of the contract.
