2.2. The Vendor’s acceptance of the Order 
The Vendor shall only fulfil Orders received via the Web Site from Customers residing in one of the territories listed in article 1.3 above provided that such Orders are due to be delivered in the territory where the Customer resides.

Once the Vendor receives an Order placed by the Customer, the Vendor shall send a detailed order acknowledgement message to the Customer stating the total amount being billed to the Customer including all taxes, as well as the amount of VAT which is being charged and the delivery terms applicable to the Order. This order acknowledgement shall express the Vendor’s acceptance of the Order placed by the Customer.

The Vendor undertakes to notify the Customer by e-mail, should any goods or services turn out to be unavailable once an Order has been placed by the Customer. In such case, the amount to be billed for the Customer’s Order shall be recalculated and the Customer shall be reimbursed for the amount of the unavailable goods or services. Should all the goods ordered by the Customer be unavailable, the Customer shall be notified by e-mail that the Order is cancelled and shall be reimbursed for the total amount of the Order. The Vendor’s cancellation of the Customer’s Order shall not give any right to compensation for the Customer based on the unavailability of the expected goods or services. The Customer shall be free to place a new Order on the Web Site for other available goods. 

ARTICLE 3. Description of the goods and applicable prices

3.1. Description of the goods
Users may, prior to placing an Order, peruse the essential characteristics of the goods which they intend to order on the Web Site.

3.3. Discounts
Any special offers, promotional deals and money-off vouchers (hereinafter the “Discounts”) shall only be valid during the period of validity of each offer and subject to availability of the goods involved.

They shall be subtracted from the value of the Customer’s Order including tax but excluding the costs of shipping and delivering the Order. Unless otherwise mentioned in a specific Discount offer, the Customer shall be barred from using several Discounts cumulatively when placing a given Order.

Where the Customer mentions his/her possession of several Discounts on the Web Site concurrently, the Customer shall only be able to use the Discount of the largest amount for the same Order.

Unless otherwise provided for by a given Purchase Voucher, Purchase Vouchers may not be used cumulatively with other Purchase Vouchers or with a Discount. Purchase Vouchers may not under any circumstance be converted into their cash equivalent and paid or reimbursed to the Customer. 

The value of a Purchase Voucher must be used and consumed in full as part of a single Order and may not therefore be divided between several Orders.

The shipping and delivery costs of the goods ordered shall be added to the total value of the goods ordered by the Customer.

- Should the value of a Purchase Voucher be equal to the value of the goods the Customer wishes to order including tax but excluding shipping and delivery costs, the Customer’s Order shall be accepted and the Customer shall only have to pay the shipping and delivery costs of the goods ordered.

- If for any particular reason an Order is not accepted by the electronic payment validation server, the Customer shall be barred from using the Purchase Voucher during a period of 72 hours.

4.2.1 Data processed by the Vendor
When paying for an Order, Customers provide the Vendor with an implied warranty that they have the requisite authorization to use the payment method they elected upon placing their Order. The confirmation of any given Order shall be subject to approval of the Customer’s payment by the relevant electronic payment validation server. Should the Customer’s bank reject the payment, the Order shall not be finalized and shall be cancelled. As part of the measures taken to prevent fraud over the Internet, the Vendor shall be entitled to transmit information concerning the Order and the Customer’s payment method to a third party for verification purposes.

The Vendor shall check any Orders which have been validated on the Web Site in conjunction with the bank in charge of handling the electronic payments. Thus the Vendor may verify any Order whose delivery address is different from the Customer’s billing address. In doing so, the Vendor may ask the Customer to provide further information and documents required for the Order to proceed: evidence of the fact that the Customer and/or the person whose name was provided does indeed reside at the delivery address, the Customer’s bank details, etc. These requests shall be forwarded to the Customer either by e-mail or over the telephone. 

The bank account linked to the payment method used by the Customer shall be debited as from the finalization of the Order by the Customer on the Web Site. The Vendor shall be entitled to suspend or cancel any Order and/or any Delivery, whatever the nature or state of progress thereof, if any moneys due by the Customer are not paid or if there are any other problems with the Customer’s payment. Should a Customer fail to pay or pay late for all or part of a previous Order, any subsequent Orders placed by the Customer may be refused and any pending deliveries for the Customer may be suspended. The Vendor shall notify the Customer of this situation.

4.2.2 Data processed by the bank handling the payments
For the purpose of ensuring the security, integrity and confidentiality of all payments made via the Web Site, the details of Customers’ bank cards shall be encrypted using the SSL (Secure Socket Layer) protocol while they transit over the Internet.

The Customer’s account shall only be debited when the goods, assuming they are available, are dispatched. Should some of the goods be out of stock or otherwise unavailable, the Customer’s account shall only be debited to the extent of the value of the goods which are effectively dispatched. 

ARTICLE 5. DELIVERY

For security reasons and in a bid to prevent bank card fraud, the billing address and delivery address of any given Order must be located within the same territory, which must also be one of the territories listed in article 1.3 above. 

The goods ordered shall be delivered by the transport operator to the postal address designated by the Customer upon confirmation of his/her Order. The delivery date is fixed at a maximum of 10 (ten) working days from the confirmation of the Order, depending on the delivery option chosen by the Customer (Standard, Express or collect point) and the territory to which the Order is being delivered.

Upon delivery of the package, a Delivery note shall be presented to the Customer who shall be asked to sign it. Should it prove impossible to deliver the package to the Customer (e.g. the Customer’s absence, incorrect delivery address, address cannot be found, etc.), the delivery person shall transmit a non-delivery code to the Vendor and shall leave a note to the Customer stating that he/she attempted to deliver the parcel and indicating the process for finalizing the delivery.

When any goods are covered by a specific warranty, the deadline and terms of the warranty are set out in the description of the goods involved. A Customer wishing to return goods to the Vendor must contact the Vendor by sending an e-mail to the customer service. The Vendor shall thereupon provide the Customer with a returns authorization number for the goods. 

Any goods returned by the Customer to the Vendor must have been purchased by the Customer on the Web Site and must have been delivered to the Customer; they must be returned in their original condition (including packaging, accessories and original inserts), and must be accompanied by the Returns Note appended to the Delivery Note of the goods, to provide proof of purchase of the goods from the Web Site and proof of the date on which the goods were bought; the enclosed documentation must also feature the returns authorization number which the Vendor provided to the Customer. NO refunds on Black Friday/Flash Sale and Sale items.

Goods which are returned to the Vendor shall transit under the Customer’s own responsibility. Therefore the Vendor hereby advises the Customer to return the goods using a transport operator which provides a facility for packages to be tracked on their way to the Vendor. Should the Customer not use such a transport operator, and should the package sent by the Customer not reach the Vendor, the Customer shall be unable to hold the transport operator to account in order to locate the package containing the goods being returned to the Vendor. 

The shipping costs of the goods being returned to the Vendor shall be borne by the Customer. However, in case of an anomaly of the goods relating to their description in the Order form or in case of an error committed by the Vendor in respect of the goods delivered to the Customer relating to the goods which were ordered by the latter, the costs of returning the goods shall be reimbursed by the Vendor based on the “2nd class” or “standard” postal service rate applicable in the Customer’s country of residence.

Upon receipt of the package containing the goods being returned by the Customer, the Vendor shall check that the goods being returned are compliant as well as the reason for the return. Should the goods being returned not qualify for an exchange or reimbursement, the Vendor shall refuse to accept their return and the goods shall be made available to the Customer for collection at the Vendor’s warehouses, or may be sent back to the Customer at the latter’s request and expense, within three months of being received by the Vendor. 

Subject to the applicable statutory warranties, should the Customer fail to abide by the terms of this article, the Customer shall be barred from making any claims in connection with any visible defects in the goods which were delivered by the Vendor. The goods shall thereupon be deemed to be exempt from any visible defects.

6.3. Exchanges 
Any request for an exchange submitted by a Customer must be submitted within 7 (seven) days from the date on which the goods were delivered and in compliance with the terms of article 6.3 above. To proceed to an exchange of goods the Customer must return the product he no longer require using exactly the same method as a standard return and place a new order for the product you wish to receive. 

ARTICLE 7. Liability

The Vendor hereby disclaims liability for any failure to perform its obligations under this Agreement as a result of the occurrence of circumstances of force majeure as defined by South African law and by the South African courts.

Similarly, the Vendor hereby disclaims liability for any inconvenience or damage caused by the use of the Internet network, such as any interruption of the availability of the Site, any breakdown in the service, any external intrusion or presence of computer viruses, any losses or alterations of data or of files, or any indirect damage, whatever the causes and consequences thereof.

ARTICLE 8. Electronic Signature, Proof and Electronic Storage

The Customer’s online disclosure of his/her bank card number and final confirmation of the Order shall constitute evidence of the integrity of the Order and shall give rise to the Customer being liable to pay the entire value of the Order.

The Parties hereby agree that any data, information, files, dates and times on which the Web Site was viewed and on which any Orders were placed and any other data transmitted in digital form between the Parties shall constitute admissible and valid evidence which shall be enforceable and binding on the Parties and in any judicial procedure and shall have the same evidential force as a deed delivered under private seal.

The Parties hereby pledge not to challenge the admissibility, validity, enforceability or evidential value of the aforementioned electronic data elements based on the fact that they are electronic in nature. Unless proven otherwise, these elements shall be valid and binding on the Parties in the same way, under the same terms and with the same evidential value as any document which is drawn up, signed or stored in writing. The Vendor shall store all Order Forms and invoices on a reliable and durable medium so as to retain an integral and durable copy thereof in accordance with article 1348 of the French Civil Code. 

In the event that the Customer becomes aware of a fraudulent use of his/her bank card by a third party, the Customer should notify the Vendor as soon as possible by sending an e-mail to the customer service, stating the number of the bank card involved and the date of the Order, and providing evidence of his/her identity. The provision of this information shall not give rise to any right to compensation of the Customer nor to any duty upon the Vendor to reimburse the Customer. Where applicable, the Customer may request compensation or reimbursement from the bank which issued his/her bank card in keeping with the provisions of the applicable laws and with the terms of the contract between the Customer and the bank.
