This Article 7.2 applies to Customers who qualify as consumers within the meaning of the preliminary article of the Consumer Code.

In accordance with the legislation in force regarding distance selling, the Customer has a period of fourteen clear days to exercise their right of withdrawal without having to provide any reason or pay any penalties, except, where applicable, for return shipping costs. 

The period mentioned in the previous paragraph begins either on the day the distance contract is concluded for contracts relating to the supply of a service and/or the supply of digital content not supplied on a tangible medium, or on the day the good is received by the Customer or a third party, other than the carrier, designated by them, for sales contracts and service contracts including the delivery of goods.

In the case of an order for several goods delivered separately or in the case of an order for a good consisting of multiple lots or pieces delivered over a defined period, the period begins upon receipt of the last good or lot or the last piece. For contracts providing for the regular delivery of goods over a defined period, the period begins upon receipt of the first good.

When the fourteen-day period expires on a Saturday, Sunday, or public holiday, it is extended until the next working day.

The decision to withdraw must be notified to the Publisher at the contact details indicated in Article 1 of these general terms and conditions by means of an unambiguous statement. The Customer may, for example, use the standard form provided at the end of these general terms and conditions. In any case, the Publisher will send the Customer an acknowledgment of receipt of said withdrawal by email as soon as possible.

7.2.2. Effects of the right of withdrawal

The Customer shall return or hand over the products to the professional or to any person designated by the latter, without undue delay and, at the latest, within fourteen days following the communication of their decision to withdraw.

When the right of withdrawal is exercised, the professional is required to reimburse the Customer for all amounts paid, as soon as possible and at the latest within fourteen days following the date on which this right was exercised. Where applicable, the professional may defer the refund until the Products have been recovered or until the Customer has provided proof of shipment of the Products, whichever occurs first. Beyond this period, the amount due shall, by operation of law, accrue interest at the legal rate in force, as specified in Article L. 242-4 of the Consumer Code. 

Where applicable, the professional will issue the refund using the same payment method as that used by the Customer for the initial transaction, unless the Customer expressly agrees to the use of another payment method and provided that the refund does not incur any fees for the Customer. However, the professional is not required to refund any additional costs if the Customer has expressly chosen a more expensive delivery method than the standard delivery method offered. 

The direct costs of returning the Product are borne by the Customer. These costs are estimated at a maximum of 1 euros if, due to its nature, the Product cannot normally be returned by post.

The Client is only liable for any diminished value of the Product resulting from handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics, and proper functioning of the Product.

The conditions, time limits, and procedures for exercising the right of withdrawal are set out in the standard form provided at the end of these general terms and conditions.

7.2.3. Exclusions from the right of withdrawal

The right of withdrawal does not apply, in particular, to contracts:

  • for the provision of services fully performed before the end of the withdrawal period and whose performance began after the Client's prior express consent and express waiver of their right of withdrawal;
  • for the supply of goods made to the Client's specifications or clearly personalized;
  • for the supply of goods that are likely to deteriorate or expire rapidly;
  • for the supply of goods that have been unsealed by the Client after delivery and cannot be returned for reasons of hygiene or health protection;
  • for the supply of goods which, after delivery and by their nature, are inseparably mixed with other items;
  • for the supply of alcoholic beverages whose delivery is deferred beyond thirty days and whose value agreed at the conclusion of the contract depends on fluctuations in the market beyond the professional's control;
  • for urgent maintenance or repair work to be carried out at the Client's home and expressly requested by them, limited to spare parts and work strictly necessary to meet the emergency;
  • for the supply of audio or video recordings or computer software that have been unsealed by the Client after delivery;

  • concluded at a public auction;
  • for the provision of accommodation services, other than residential accommodation, transport of goods, car rentals, catering, or leisure activities to be provided on a specific date or during a specific period;
  • for the supply of digital content not provided on a tangible medium, where performance has begun after the Client's prior express consent and express waiver of their right of withdrawal.

Likewise, the right of withdrawal does not apply to contracts fully performed by both parties at the express request of the Client before the latter exercises their right of withdrawal.

 

 

 

7.3. Termination of the contract at the Client's initiative

The consumer Client may terminate the contract by registered letter with acknowledgment of receipt if the delivery date of the goods is exceeded by more than seven days. The Client will then be reimbursed for the amounts paid at the time of the order.

7.4. Warranties

7.4.1. Warranty against apparent defects and faults

It is the Client's responsibility to check the good condition of the Products at the time of delivery. This verification should in particular concern the quality, quantities, and references of the Products as well as their conformity with the order. No claim will be considered after a period of three days from delivery. In any case, any claim concerning delivered parcels will only be considered if the Client, acting as a merchant, has made reservations with the carrier in accordance with Articles L. 133-3 et seq. of the Commercial Code.

7.4.2. Warranty against hidden defects and faults
7.4.2.1. Legal warranties

Clients benefit from a legal warranty of proper delivery (Article 1604 of the Civil Code), a legal warranty against hidden defects (Articles 1641 et seq. of the Civil Code), and a safety warranty (Articles 1245 et seq. of the Civil Code). 

Clients who are consumers also benefit from a legal warranty of conformity (Articles L. 217-4 et seq. of the Consumer Code). 

7.4.2.2. Conventional warranty

In addition to the legal warranty, the Products benefit from a conventional warranty of conformity in France, for a period of 1 years from the delivery of the Product.

7.4.2.3. Return

To invoke the warranty, the Client must return the product to the Publisher's registered office address, accompanied by an explanatory letter requesting either repair, exchange, or refund. 

In any case, the Client is requested to follow precisely the Publisher's instructions regarding the return of Products.

The costs of returning the Product remain the responsibility of the Client, except for consumer Clients invoking the conformity warranty under Articles L. 217-4 et seq. of the Consumer Code.

The consumer Client has a period of 2 years from the delivery of the goods to take action against the seller. In this respect, they may choose between repair or replacement of the Product, subject to the cost conditions provided for in Article L.217-9 of the Consumer Code. Finally, the Client is not required to provide proof of the existence of the lack of conformity of the Product during the 24 months following the delivery of said Product, except for second-hand goods.

 

Where applicable, the legal warranty of conformity applies independently of the commercial warranty. 

 

When the consumer Client decides to invoke the warranty against hidden defects, they may choose between cancellation of the sale or a reduction in the sale price.
