The Customer places an order online from the online catalog, then by means of the form that appears there, for any product, within the limits of available quantities.


The Customer is informed of any unavailability of the product or good ordered.


For an order to be validated, the Customer must accept it, by clicking on the indicated place and by accepting the present general conditions of sales. Before validating the payment method, he must also specify the address and the delivery method.


The Customer can check the details of his order, its total price and correct any errors before confirming acceptation. It is the Customer's responsibility to verify the accuracy of the order and to immediately report or correct any errors.


The registration of an order on the Website is done when the Customer accepts the present General Terms and Conditions of Sales by ticking the box provided for this purpose and validates his order. This validation implies the acceptation of the entirety of the present General Conditions of Sales.


A sale is only final once the confirmation of the acceptation of an order by the Seller has been sent to the Customer via e-mail. It must be sent without any delay, promptly after the Seller has collected the total amount due.


Any order placed, validated by the Customer and confirmed by the Seller, under the conditions and according to the methods described above, on the Website constitutes the formation of a contract concluded at a distance between the Customer and the Seller. Any order implies acceptance of the prices and the description of the products available for sale.


Absent of proof to the contrary, the data recorded in the Seller's computer system shall constitute proof of all transactions concluded with the Customer.


The Seller reserves the right to cancel or refuse any order from a Customer with whom there is a payment dispute for a previous order.

5-5. Personal profile: Creation of the personal profile: the creation of a personal profile is an essential prerequisite to placing any order on this Website. For this purpose, the Customer will be asked to provide a certain amount of personal information. The Customer agrees to provide accurate information under penalty of termination of the contract by the Seller and deletion of the Customer account.


Functionality of the personal profile: This profile allows the Customer or the member to consult all orders made on the Website, and also allows him, if necessary, to track the delivery of goods purchased.


If the data contained in the personal profile section were to disappear following a fortuitous event, a technical failure or a case of force majeure, the responsibility of the Seller could not be engaged. However, the Seller undertakes to keep in a secure manner all the contractual elements whose conservation is required by the law by law or regulation in force. The Seller also informs the Customer that the safeguard of the personal data of its customers is a primary requirement.


The Seller reserves the exclusive right to delete the account of any member who has violated these terms and conditions (including but not limited to when the member has knowingly provided false information during registration and creation of his personal profile).

This exclusion is not exclusive of the possibility, for the Seller, to undertake legal action against the member when facts justify it.


Furthermore, the Seller reserves the exclusive right to delete the account of any member who has been inactive for more than one year.


Password: When creating the personal profile, the user defines his password.
