If the period expires on a Saturday, Sunday, holiday or non-business day, it is extended to the next business day.

The Customer must notify his decision to withdraw from the contract by means of a clear and unambiguous statement by mail or e-mail. The Customer may use the model withdrawal form available in the appendix hereto, but this is not mandatory.

Only items returned complete, in their original condition and with all their accessories in their original condition will be accepted.

  • supply of goods made to its specifications or clearly personalized;
  • services of leisure activities to be provided at a specific date or time.

In the case of a gift card order, the Customer will not be able to exercise his right of withdrawal if the balance of the gift card has been spent, even partially, before the end of the withdrawal period.

ARTICLE 11. LEGAL GUARANTEES

The consumer has a period of two years from the delivery of the goods to obtain the implementation of the legal guarantee of conformity in case of a defect of conformity. During this period, the consumer is only required to establish the existence of the lack of conformity and not the date of its appearance.

Where the contract of sale of the goods provides for the supply of digital content or a digital service on a continuous basis for a period of more than two years, the legal warranty shall apply to that digital content or digital service throughout the period of supply provided. During this period, the consumer is only required to establish the existence of the lack of conformity affecting the digital content or service and not the date of its appearance.

The legal guarantee of conformity implies an obligation for the professional, if necessary, to provide all the updates necessary to maintain the conformity of the good.

The legal guarantee of conformity gives the consumer the right to repair or replace the goods within thirty days of his request, without charge and without major inconvenience to him.

If the good is repaired under the legal guarantee of conformity, the consumer benefits from a six-month extension of the initial guarantee.

If the consumer requests repair of the good, but the seller imposes replacement, the legal warranty of conformity is renewed for a period of two years from the date of replacement of the good.

The consumer may obtain a reduction in the purchase price by retaining the goods or terminate the contract by obtaining a full refund in exchange for the return of the goods, if :

(1) The trader refuses to repair or replace the property;

2° The repair or replacement of the good takes place after a period of thirty days;

3° The repair or replacement of the good causes a major inconvenience to the consumer, in particular when the consumer definitively bears the cost of taking back or removing the non-conforming good, or if the consumer bears the cost of installing the repaired or replaced good;

4° The non-conformity of the property persists despite the seller's unsuccessful attempt to bring it into conformity.

The consumer is also entitled to a reduction in the price of the goods or to rescission of the contract where the lack of conformity is so serious as to justify immediate reduction in price or rescission of the contract. The consumer is then not obliged to ask for the repair or replacement of the goods beforehand.

The consumer is not entitled to rescind the sale if the lack of conformity is minor.

Any period of immobilization of the good for its repair or replacement suspends the guarantee which remained to run until the delivery of the good restored.

The rights mentioned above result from the application of articles L. 217-1 to L. 217-32 of the Consumer Code.

A seller who obstructs in bad faith the implementation of the legal guarantee of conformity is liable to a civil fine of up to 300,000 euros, which may be increased to 10% of the average annual turnover (Article L. 241-5 of the Consumer Code).

The consumer also benefits from the legal guarantee of hidden defects in application of articles 1641 to 1649 of the Civil Code, for a period of two years from the discovery of the defect. This guarantee gives the right to a price reduction if the good is kept or to a full refund against return of the good.

To exercise a legal warranty, the Customer must contact the Seller by mail or e-mail. The Customer must specify the defects encountered on the item concerned as well as any useful information and attach any document (in particular photographs) allowing to appreciate the existence of the defects encountered. The Customer must also present proof of purchase of the item from the Seller.

Upon request of the Seller, the Customer shall return the item concerned.

All shipping costs will be paid by the Seller, upon presentation of proof by the Customer and subject to a legal guarantee being applicable. The Customer shall pay the return shipping costs in advance and shall enclose with the shipment the receipts for the advance payment. The Customer shall bear all risks related to the return of the item.

Seller and Customer agree to exchange in good faith.

ARTICLE 12. RESPONSIBILITY

The responsibility of the Seller shall not be retained in the event that the damage results from negligence or a fault attributable to the Customer, from the unforeseeable and insurmountable act of a third party or in the event of force majeure. Force majeure means any external, unforeseeable and irresistible event within the meaning of Article 1218 of the Civil Code and as defined by case law. 

The Customer will not be able to prevail himself of an inadequacy of the article to his expectations because of an error or an omission on his part.

The Seller is only bound by an obligation of means in the context of providing access to the Site. The Vendor cannot guarantee the total absence of error or anomaly in the Site that it makes available. The Customer is informed that access to the Site may be temporarily interrupted in the event of maintenance or updating.
