6.1 Features

The products offered for sale are the subject of a “Product Sheet” drawn up by the Company mentioning their essential characteristics within the meaning of Article L 111-1 of the French Consumer Code. Photographs, drawings, diagrams or data sheets do not constitute a contractual document.

8. ORDER

8.1 Contract conclusion stages

The order is preceded by a detailed quotation, valid for 1 month from the date of its creation, mentioning the price or the method of calculating the price, and whose acceptance and signature by the Customer then constitutes a purchase order.

Any Customer wishing to place an order with the Vendor must sign an order form and/or quotation, which mainly states the essential characteristics of the Product(s) ordered, the total price excluding VAT and including VAT, the terms of payment and the indicative delivery time or duration.

Confirmation of the order takes place as soon as the order form is signed by the Vendor, or the latter sends an e-mail confirming the order, the order thus becoming firm and definitive. The signature and the words “read and approved” certify that the customer has given his agreement and waives his right of immediate withdrawal.

 

8.2 Order validation

All orders are subject to payment.

No order may therefore be modified or cancelled without prior written agreement between the Vendor and the Customer.

 

9. CONTRACT

The sales contract is formed when the Customer sends confirmation of his/her order.
