Delivery is constituted by the transfer to the Client of physical possession or control of the Product. Except in special cases or unavailability of one or more Products, the ordered Products will be delivered in a single shipment.

The Seller undertakes to make his best efforts to deliver the products ordered by the Client within the time specified above.

If the ordered Products have not been delivered within 30 days after the indicative delivery date, for any reason other than force majeure or the Client's fault, the sale may be canceled at the written request of the Client under the conditions provided for in articles L 216-2, L 216-3 and L241-4 of the Consumer Code. The sums paid by the Client will then be returned to him no later than fourteen days following the date of termination of the contract, excluding any compensation or deduction.

Deliveries are made by an independent carrier, to the address mentioned by the Client when ordering and to which the carrier can easily access.

When the Client takes it upon himself to call on a carrier he chooses himself, delivery is deemed to have been made upon delivery of the Products ordered by the Seller to the carrier who accepted them without reservations. The Client therefore acknowledges that it is the carrier's responsibility to make the delivery and has no warranty claim against the Seller in the event of failure to deliver the goods transported.

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

The Client is required to check the condition of the delivered products. He has a period of #254 Maximum delay for... from delivery to issue claims by means of the retraction form at the bottom of this document, accompanied by all the relevant evidence (photos in particular). After this period and failing to comply with these formalities, the Products will be deemed to be in conformity and free from any apparent defect and no claim can be validly accepted by the Seller.

The Seller will refund or replace as soon as possible and at his own expense, the delivered Products whose lack of conformity or apparent or hidden defects have been duly proven by the Client, under the conditions provided for in articles L 217-4 and following of the Consumer Code and those provided for in these GTCS.

The transfer of the risks of loss and deterioration relating thereto, will only be made when the Client takes physical possession of the Products. The Products therefore travel at the Seller's risk except when the Client has chosen the carrier himself. As such, the risks are transferred when the goods are handed over to the carrier.

ARTICLE 6 - Transfer of Ownership

The transfer of ownership of the Seller's Products to the Client will only take place after full payment of the price by the latter, regardless of the delivery date of said Products.

ARTICLE 7 - Right of Withdrawal

According to the terms of article L221-18 of the Consumer Code "For contracts providing for the regular delivery of goods for a defined period, the period runs from the receipt of the first good."
