The Customer's account will be debited with the corresponding amount only when (i) the data of the credit card used has been verified and (ii) the debit has been accepted by the bank that issued the credit card.
The impossibility of debiting the amounts due will result in the immediate nullity of the sale.

Article 8 - FORMATION OF THE CONTRACT
The contract between the Operator and the Customer is formed when the Customer sends the confirmation of his order.
The attention of the Customer is particularly drawn to the mode 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, i.e., after selecting the Products added to the basket, the Customer must check and possibly correct the contents of his/her basket (identification, quantity of products selected, price, delivery methods and costs) before validating it by clicking on "I validate my delivery", then he/she acknowledges acceptance of these GTCs 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" is an electronic signature and is equivalent to a handwritten signature. It constitutes an irrevocable and unconditional acceptance of the order by the Customer.
The filing of the communications, the purchase orders and the invoices is ensured by the Operator on a reliable and durable support so as to constitute a faithful and durable copy. These communications, order forms and invoices can be produced as proof of the contract. Except contrary proof, the data recorded by the Operator on Internet or by telephone constitute the proof of the whole of the transactions passed between the Operator and its Customers.
The order can be cancelled by the Customer by registered letter with request for acknowledgement of receipt or by a writing on another durable medium in case of :
delivery of a Product that does not conform to the declared characteristics of the Product ;
delivery beyond the deadline fixed in the order form or, in the absence of such a date, within thirty (30) days following the conclusion of the contract, after the Operator has been enjoined, in the same way and without result, to carry out the delivery within a reasonable additional period;
an increase in price that is not justified by a technical modification of the product imposed by the public authorities.
In all these cases, the Customer may demand the reimbursement of the deposit paid plus interest calculated at the legal rate from the date of collection of the deposit.
The order can be cancelled by the Operator in case of :
refusal of the buyer to take delivery ;
of non-payment of the price (or the balance of the price) at the time of the delivery.

Article 10 - SHIPMENT AND DELIVERY
The online sales offers presented on the site are reserved for consumers residing in France or, where applicable, in a member country of the European Union, and for deliveries in these same geographical areas.
The delivery means the transfer to the Customer of the physical possession or the control of the Product.
The Operator offers a unique delivery method, called Standard Delivery with tracking, which is free of charge and allows the consumer to benefit from a parcel tracking by email.
The shipping costs are those specified during the finalization of the order and are accepted by the validation of the order.
The Operator undertakes, in accordance with the delivery deadline indicated on the Site for each of the Products, to deliver the Products within a maximum of thirty (30) days after receipt of the order.
The delivery times are announced in working days on the Site at the time of the order. These times include the preparation and shipment of the order as well as the time provided by the carrier.
The Operator undertakes to dispatch the Products in accordance with the deadlines announced on each Product sheet and at the level of the basket, provided that the payment of the order has not been refused beforehand.
However, if one or several Products could not be delivered within the initially announced time, the Operator will send an email indicating to the Customer the new delivery date.
The Products will be delivered to the address indicated by the Customer at the time of his order. It is thus up to him to check that this address does not contain any error. The responsibility of the Operator could not be committed if the address communicated by the Customer is erroneous, preventing or delaying the delivery.
Upon delivery, the customer may be asked to sign a receipt.
No delivery will be made to a post office box.
Upon delivery, it is the Customer's responsibility to verify that the Products delivered conform to the order and that the package is sealed and undamaged. If this is not the case, the Customer must indicate this on the delivery slip. No claim on the quantity or condition of the Product will be accepted if the claim has not been indicated on the delivery slip.
For reasons of availability and storage, an order can be delivered in several times to the customer. In this case, the customer will only pay for one delivery. The average delivery time announced on the product sheet is 10-14 working days, because it is the average delivery time. These delivery times are in no way a legal obligation.
Complete information is available in the Delivery section of our FAQ page, which is an integral part of these Terms and Conditions of Sale. The delivery times indicated are indicative and non-contractual. In no case a delivery later than expected can justify neither the refusal to take delivery of an order, nor an indemnity, nor damages, unless particular conditions on this subject were envisaged in the contract, or that the deadlines exceed the legal deadlines in force according to the French and European laws.
