The SELLER shall endeavour to present as clearly as possible the main characteristics of the PRODUCTS (on the information sheets available on the WEBSITE) and the mandatory information that the CLIENT must receive by virtue of the applicable law (in these General Terms and Conditions). The CLIENT undertakes to read this information carefully before placing an order on the SITE. The SELLER reserves the right to modify the selection of PRODUCTS available on the SITE, in particular according to the constraints related to its suppliers. Unless expressly indicated otherwise on the WEBSITE, all PRODUCTS sold by the SELLER are new and comply with current European legislation and standards applicable in France.
5.2. Ordering procedure
Orders for PRODUCTS are placed directly on the WEBSITE. To place an order, the CLIENT must follow the steps described below (please note, however, that depending on the CLIENT's home page, the steps may differ slightly).
5.2.1. Selection of PRODUCTS and purchase options
The CUSTOMER shall select the PRODUCT(s) of his choice by clicking on the PRODUCT(s) concerned and choosing the desired characteristics and quantities. Once the PRODUCT has been selected, the PRODUCT is placed in the CUSTOMER's basket. The CUSTOMER can then add as many PRODUCTS to his basket as he wishes.
5.2.2. Commands
Once the PRODUCTS have been selected and placed in his basket, the CUSTOMER must click on the basket and check that the contents of his order are correct. If the CLIENT has not yet done so, he will then be asked to identify himself or to register. Once the CUSTOMER has validated the contents of the basket and has identified/registered, an online form will be displayed to the CUSTOMER's attention, automatically completed and summarising the price, applicable taxes and, where applicable, delivery costs. The CUSTOMER is invited to check the contents of his order (including the quantity, characteristics and references of the PRODUCTS ordered, the billing address, the means of payment and the price) before validating its contents. The CLIENT may then proceed to pay for the PRODUCTS by following the instructions appearing on the SITE and provide all the information necessary for invoicing and DELIVERY of the PRODUCTS. Concerning the PRODUCTS for which options are available, these specific references appear when the right options have been selected. Orders placed must include all information necessary for the proper processing of the order. The CLIENT must also indicate the delivery method chosen.
5.2.3. Acknowledgement of receipt
Once all the steps described above have been completed, a page will appear on the SITE to acknowledge receipt of the CLIENT's order. A copy of the acknowledgement of receipt of the order is automatically sent to the CLIENT by e-mail, provided that the e-mail address communicated through the registration form is correct.

The CLIENT must then specify the means of payment chosen. Neither the order form that the CLIENT draws up online, nor the acknowledgement of receipt of the order that the SELLER sends to the CLIENT by e-mail shall constitute an invoice. Regardless of the method of order or payment used, the CLIENT shall receive the original invoice upon DELIVERY of the PRODUCTS, inside the package.

The CLIENTS may also be informed of the restocking of a PRODUCT by the SELLER. In any event, if the unavailability has not been indicated at the time of the order, the SELLER undertakes to inform the CLIENT without delay if the PRODUCT is unavailable. The SELLER may, at the CLIENT's request: Either offer to ship all the PRODUCTS at the same time as soon as the PRODUCTS that are out of stock are available again, Or proceed with partial shipment of the PRODUCTS that are available initially, then ship the remainder of the order when the other PRODUCTS are available, subject to clear information concerning the additional shipping costs that may be incurred, Or offer an alternative PRODUCT of equivalent quality and price, accepted by the CLIENT.

If the CLIENT decides to cancel its order for unavailable PRODUCTS, the refund will be made in accordance with the last paragraph of Article 5.5 of these General Terms and Conditions.
7.3. Delay or refusal of payment
If the bank refuses to debit a card or other means of payment, the CUSTOMER must contact the SELLER's Customer Service Department in order to pay for the order by any other valid means of payment.

The SELLER agrees to archive this information in order to monitor transactions and to produce a copy of the contract at the CLIENT's request. In the event of a dispute, the SELLER shall have the opportunity to prove that its electronic tracking system is reliable and that it guarantees the integrity of the transaction.
9. Transfer of ownership
The SELLER shall remain the owner of the PRODUCTS delivered until full payment by the CLIENT. The above provisions shall not prevent the transfer to the CLIENT, upon receipt by it, or by a third party designated by it other than the carrier, of the risks of loss or damage to the PRODUCTS that are the subject of the reservation of ownership, as well as the risks of damage that they may cause.

12. Guarantees
12.1. Guarantee of conformity
The SELLER is obliged to deliver a PRODUCT that is in conformity, i.e. suitable for the expected use of a similar good and corresponding to the description given on the SITE. This conformity also assumes that the PRODUCT has the qualities that a buyer may legitimately expect in view of the public statements made by the SELLER, including in advertisements and on labels. In this context, the SELLER is liable for any defects of conformity existing at the time of delivery and any defects of conformity resulting from the packaging, assembly instructions or installation when the latter has been put at his expense or has been carried out under his responsibility. The action resulting from the lack of conformity shall be time-barred after two (2) years from the DELIVERY of the PRODUCT. In the event of a lack of conformity, the CLIENT may request the replacement or repair of the PRODUCT, at its discretion. However, if the cost of the CUSTOMER's choice is clearly disproportionate compared to the other possible option, taking into account the value of the PRODUCT or the importance of the defect, the SELLER may proceed to a refund, without following the option chosen by the CUSTOMER. In the event that a replacement or repair is impossible, the SELLER undertakes to return the price of the PRODUCT within 30 days upon receipt of the returned PRODUCT and in exchange for the return of the PRODUCT by the CLIENT to the following address Lot les chênes verts.
12.2 Warranty for hidden defects
The SELLER shall be bound by the warranty on account of the hidden defects of the PRODUCT sold which render it unfit for the use for which it is intended, or which so diminish this use that the CUSTOMER would not have acquired it, or would only have paid a lower price for it, if he had known about them. This warranty allows the CLIENT who can prove the existence of a latent defect to choose between reimbursement of the price of the PRODUCT if it is returned and reimbursement of part of its price if the PRODUCT is not returned. In the event that a replacement or repair is impossible, the SELLER undertakes to refund the price of the PRODUCT within 30 days of receipt of the returned PRODUCT and in exchange for the return of the PRODUCT by the CLIENT to the following address Lot les chênes verts. The action resulting from latent defects must be brought by the CLIENT within two (2) years from the discovery of the defect.
13. Responsibility
The responsibility of the SELLER may under no circumstances be engaged in the event of non-performance or poor performance of contractual obligations attributable to the CUSTOMER, in particular when entering the order. The SELLER may not be held liable, or considered as having failed hereunder, for any delay or non-performance, when the cause of the delay or non-performance is related to a case of force majeure as defined by the jurisprudence of the French courts and tribunals. It is further specified that the SELLER does not control the websites that are directly or indirectly linked to the SITE. Consequently, it excludes all liability for the information published on them.
