These products are sold new and exclusively for professional Customers.

1) Acceptance of the General Terms and Conditions

The Customer declares that he has read and accepted these General Terms and Conditions before placing his order. The validation of the order therefore constitutes acceptance of these General Terms and Conditions. Unless demonstrated to the contrary, the data recorded on the Site constitutes proof of all transactions between the Company and the Customer.

2) Placing orders

The Customer completes, under his sole responsibility, the online purchase order, specifying the part numbers of the selected product(s) and their quantitie The Customer also specifies his name, his RCS registration number, the delivery address for the product(s) ordered, and if applicable any special circumstances related to the delivery address that could complicate the delivery of the product(s) ordered. In this case, the Company reserves the right to contact the Customer, to define the possibilities of delivery of the product(s) ordered and possibly to decide to cancel the order.

It is the Customer’s responsibility to check, before the order is validated, in particular in relation to the specifications of the product or products ordered, notably in terms of size and volume, that the products can be routed through the access routes to the place of delivery.

In the event of impossibility of delivery on the scheduled date due to special circumstances not specified by the Customer at the time of the order or absence of the Customer at the date of appointment agreed with the carrier, the Company reserves the right to postpone or cancel the order and/or delivery. All costs related to the return of the product(s) ordered to the Customer due to an error in the Customer’s entry or due to his absence shall be the exclusive responsibility of the Customer.

The order will only be final after the Customer’s bank account has been debited (payment by bank card on the site or by transfer). The Customer’s order may be refused if a settlement dispute is pending with the Customer or if the Customer has not paid for an order in progress.

Contractual information shall be the subject of written confirmation not later than the time of delivery of the product(s) ordered.

3) Prices and payment

Product prices are indicated on the site in euros, excluding taxes and excluding delivery charges. The Customer is informed of the cost of delivery of his order on the site. The amount of the delivery charge is added to the total order amount of the product(s) ordered on the site.

The Company reserves the right to change its prices at any time but the Product will be invoiced to the Customer on the basis of the price in force at the time of confirmation of the order.

The Product remains the property of the Company until the full receipt of the price by the Company. To invoke this clause, and if no agreement has been reached between the Customer and the Company, the Company simply needs to communicate its formal willingness to take back the product(s) delivered by a single recorded delivery registered letter sent to the Customer. However, it is expressly stated that the Customer will be responsible for the product(s) delivered to him upon physical handover, with the transfer of possession resulting in the transfer of risks. Consequently the Customer will have to make arrangements, and where appropriate, take out insurance to compensate for the possible, partial or total destruction of the products, irrespective of the cause.

Payment for a product on the site is made exclusively by:

• credit card (Visa, MasterCard, etc.) directly on the site by filling in the order form following the precise instructions and then paying by the secure transaction site. The card will be debited as soon as the acknowledgement of receipt of the order is sent;
• transfer to the Company’s account.

The site is covered by a security system that uses the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) security protocol to encrypt the Customer’s bank details Information about the security system is described in the “Privacy Policy” section of the site. Any unpaid amount due to fraudulent use of a credit card will result in the details of the order being entered in the payment incident file.
