They will then enter their contact details or log in to their account and choose the delivery method. Once the information has been validated, the order will be considered definitive and will require payment by the Customer. The Customer will then receive an order confirmation by e-mail.

Product offers are valid for as long as they are visible on the site, while stocks last.

The sale will not be considered valid until the price has been paid in full. It is the Customer's responsibility to check the accuracy of the order and to report any errors immediately.

Any order placed on the www.billaudot.com website constitutes the formation of a distance contract between the Customer and the Seller.

Customers can track the progress of their order on the site.

Any cancellation of the order by the Customer will only be possible before delivery of the Products (independently of the provisions relating to the application or non-application of the legal right of withdrawal).

In order to place an order, the Customer is invited to create an account (personal space).

To do this, they must register by filling in the form provided at the time of ordering and undertake to provide truthful and accurate information about their civil status and contact details, in particular their email address.

The Customer is responsible for updating the information provided. Customers are advised that they can change this information by logging into their account.

To access their personal space and order history, Customers must identify themselves using their user name and password, which will be sent to them after registration and which are strictly personal. In this respect, the Customer agrees not to divulge them in any way. Should this not be the case, the Customer shall remain solely responsible for any use made thereof.

Customers may also request to unsubscribe by visiting the dedicated page in their personal space or by sending an email to: vente@billaudot.com. This will take effect within a reasonable period of time.

In the event of non-compliance with the general terms and conditions of sale and/or use, the www.billaudot.com website may suspend or even close a customer's account after a formal notice has been sent electronically and has remained without effect.

Any deletion of an account, for whatever reason, entails the pure and simple deletion of all the Customer's personal information.

The Seller shall not be held liable for any event due to force majeure resulting in malfunction of the site or server, subject to any interruption or modification in the event of maintenance.

The creation of an account implies acceptance of these general terms and conditions of sale.

The price is paid by secure payment as follows:

• Payment by credit card
• Transfer
• Cheque

The price is payable in full by the Customer on the day the order is placed.

Payment data is exchanged in encrypted mode using the protocol defined by the approved payment service provider for banking transactions carried out on the www.billaudot.com website.

Deliveries are usually made within 2 to 3 working days to the address indicated by the Customer when ordering on the site.

Delivery consists of the transfer to the Customer of physical possession or control of the Product. Except in special cases or when one or more Products are unavailable, the Products ordered will be delivered in a single shipment.

The Seller undertakes to use its best endeavours to deliver the products ordered by the Customer within the time limits specified above.

If the Products ordered have not been delivered within 30 days of the indicative delivery date, for any reason other than force majeure or the fault of the Customer, the sale may be cancelled at the written request of the Customer under the conditions set out in articles L 216-2, L 216-3 and L241-4 of the French Consumer Code. The sums paid by the Customer will then be returned to him at the latest within fourteen days following the date of cancellation of the contract, to the exclusion of any compensation or deduction.

Deliveries are made by an independent carrier to the address given by the Customer when the order is placed and to which the carrier has easy access.

Where the Customer has itself engaged a carrier of its own choosing, delivery is deemed to have taken place as soon as the Products ordered have been handed over by the Seller to the carrier, who has accepted them without reservation. The Customer therefore acknowledges that it is the carrier's responsibility to make the delivery and has no recourse against the Seller in the event of failure to deliver the goods transported.

In the event of a specific request from the Customer concerning the conditions of packaging or transport of the products ordered, duly accepted in writing by the Vendor, the related costs will be subject to specific additional invoicing, based on a quotation previously accepted in writing by the Customer.

The Customer is responsible for checking the condition of the products delivered. He/she has a period of #254 Maximum period for... from the date of delivery to make any complaints by e-mail to vente@billaudot.com, accompanied by all relevant supporting documents (photos in particular). Once this period has elapsed and if these formalities have not been complied with, the Products will be deemed to be in conformity and free from any apparent defect and no complaint will be validly accepted by the Seller.

The Vendor will refund or replace, as soon as possible and at its own expense, the Products delivered for which the Customer has duly proved the lack of conformity or the apparent or hidden defects, under the conditions set out in Articles L 217-4 et seq. of the French Consumer Code and those set out in these GCS.

The transfer of the risks of loss and deterioration relating thereto will only take place when the Customer takes physical possession of the Products. The Products therefore travel at the Seller's risk, except where the Customer has chosen the carrier. In this case, the risks are transferred when the goods are handed over to the carrier.

The transfer of ownership of the Products from the Vendor to the Customer will only take place after full payment of the price by the latter, regardless of the date of delivery of the said Products.

In accordance with Article L221-18 of the Consumer Code, "For contracts providing for the regular delivery of goods during a defined period, the period runs from receipt of the first good.

The right of withdrawal may be exercised online, using the withdrawal form attached hereto and also available on the site, or by any other unambiguous statement expressing the wish to withdraw, and in particular by post addressed to the Seller at the postal or e-mail address indicated in ARTICLE 1 of the GTCS.

Returns must be made in their original condition and complete (packaging, accessories, instructions, etc.) so that they can be remarketed as new, accompanied by the purchase invoice.

Damaged, soiled or incomplete Products will not be taken back.

The cost of returning the goods shall be borne by the Customer.

The exchange (subject to availability) or refund will be made within 14 days of receipt by the Vendor of the Products returned by the Customer under the conditions set out in this article.

The Products supplied by the Seller benefit from :

• the legal guarantee of conformity, for defective, damaged Products or Products that do not correspond to the order,
• the legal warranty against hidden defects resulting from a material, design or manufacturing defect affecting the products delivered and rendering them unfit for use,
