The sale will only be considered definitive when the Vendor has sent the Buyer confirmation of acceptance of the order by e-mail – and after it has received payment in full – and after it has received the full instalment due.

 

It is up to the Client to check the accuracy of the order and to immediately report any mistake.

 

Any order placed via the website www.sainthonore.com constitutes the creation of a contract agreed remotely between the Client and the Vendor.

 

The Vendor reserves the right to cancel or to refuse any order from a Client with whom a dispute may exist relative to the payment of a previous order.

 

The Client may track their order on the website www.sainthonore.com.

 

The Vendor is not intended to sell the Products on the website www.sainthonore.com to professionals, but only to consumers, for personal use.

The payment requested of the Client corresponds to the total amount of the purchase, including these costs.

 

The possibility of special Client orders may be considered. In this case, they will be subject to a cost estimate to first be approved by the Client. Cost estimates drawn up by the Vendor are valid for a 30-day period which will run from their date of drafting.

 

The order based on a cost estimate will not be deemed accepted until settlement of a deposit instalment of 30% of the order’s total amount.

ITEM 5 – Deliveries

 

Products ordered by the Client will be delivered in mainland France within – 2 days from the time of order dispatch – the dispatch time indicated in the Product description added to which are the handling and transit times – to the address provided by the Client when placing their order on the website www.sainthonore.com. Deliveries in the European Union and outside the European Union will be made within 10 days. Deliveries are suspended during the company’s annual closure of 1 month during the summer and 1 week at the end of the year.

 

Delivery is defined as the transfer to the Client of physical possession or control of the Product.

 

With the exception of special cases or unavailability of one or more Products, the Products ordered will be delivered at the same time.

 

The Vendor commits to making every effort to deliver the Products ordered by the Client within the times specified above.

However, these times are provided for information purposes only. However, if the Products ordered have not been delivered within 15 days following the delivery date indicated, for any reason other than that of force majeure or due to the Client, the sale may be resolved upon written request from the Client according to the terms provided for under articles L.216-2, L.216-3, L.241-4 of the French Consumer Code.

The amounts paid by the Client will then be restored at the latest within fourteen days following the date of termination of the contract, excluding any indemnities or retentions.

 

Deliveries are made by an independent transporter, to the address provided by the Client at the time of order and to which the transporter may easily gain access.

 

When the Client has taken it upon themselves to organise a transporter of their own choosing, the delivery is deemed to have been made as soon as the Vendor hands over the Products ordered into the care of the transporter, who accepts them without reservation.

The Client thus acknowledges that it is the transporter’s responsibility to make the delivery and has no recourse in terms of warranty against the Vendor in the event of failure to deliver the transported goods.

 

In the event of a special request by the Client concerning the packaging or transportation of Products ordered, duly approved in writing by the Vendor, the related costs will be subject to a specific additional invoice, based on a cost estimate previously approved in writing by the Client.

 

The Client is responsible for checking the condition of the Products delivered. The Client has 7 days from the date of delivery in which to formulate in writing (postal letter, e-mail) any reservations or claims for nonconformity or apparent defect of the Products delivered (e.g. damaged packaging, parcel already opened…), along with all related supporting documents (particularly photographs).

After this period and having failed to comply with these formalities, the Products will be deemed conform and exempt of any apparent defect and no claim will be legitimately accepted by the Vendor.

 

The Vendor will refund or replace, as quickly as possible and at its own expense, the delivered Products whose lack of conformity or apparent or hidden defects have been duly proven by the Client, according to the terms provided for under articles L.217-4 et seq. of the French Consumer Code and those provided for herein (in particular, see warranties).

 

 

ITEM 6 – Transfer of ownership – Transfer of risks

 

The transfer of ownership of the Vendor’s Products shall be carried out upon acceptance of the order by the Vendor, representing the agreement of the parties on the goods and on the price, regardless of the date of payment and delivery.

Regardless of the date of the Product’s transfer of ownership, the transfer of risks, of loss and of deterioration related thereto, will only take place when the Client takes physical possession of the Products. The Products will therefore transit at the Vendor’s risk and peril.

 

 

ITEM 7 – Right of retraction

Pursuant to the law, the Client has a period of fourteen days from the receipt of the Product in which to exercise their right of retraction with the Vendor, without having to justify their reasons nor pay any penalty, in view of an exchange or a refund, provided that the Products are returned in their original packaging and in perfect condition within 14 days following the notification to the Vendor of the Client’s decision to retract.

 

Returns must be made in their original and complete condition (packaging, accessories, instructions, etc.) in order to allow for their remarketing as new, along with their bill of purchase.

 

Damaged, soiled or incomplete Products are not taken back.

 

The right of retraction may be exercised online, using the retraction form available on the website www.sainthonore.com, in which case an acknowledgement of receipt on a permanent medium will be immediately sent to the Client by the Vendor, or any other declaration, devoid of ambiguity, expressing the willingness to retract.

 

Should the right of retraction be exercised within the aforementioned times, only the price of the Product(s) bought and the delivery costs will be refunded; the cost of return remains at the expense of the Client.

 

The exchange (subject to availability) or refund of the Product(s) returned by the Client will be carried out by the Vendor within 14 days of receipt of said Products, under the terms provided for herein.

 

However, in exception, the Client does not have the right to retract for clearly personalised Products

 

 

ITEM 8 – Vendor liability – Warranty

 

Products sold on the website www.sainthonore.com are conform with the law in France and present performances compatible with non-professional usage.

 

The Products supplied by the Vendor benefit automatically and without additional payment, regardless of the right of retraction, and pursuant to legal provisions,

 

– from the legal warranty of conformity, for Products that are apparently defective, spoiled or damaged or do not correspond to the order,

– from the legal warranty against hidden defects resulting from a flaw in material, design or manufacturing affecting the delivered Products and making them unfit for use,

under the terms and according to the procedures described in the appendix hereto (Warranty of conformity / Warranty against hidden defects).

 

In order to exercise their rights, the Client must inform the Vendor, in writing, of the non-conformity of the Product(s) within a maximum period of 7 days from the date of Product delivery, or of the existence of hidden defects within a maximum period of 7 days from the date of their discovery.

 

The Vendor will refund, replace or have repaired the Product(s) or parts under warranty judged non-conform or defective.

 

The cost of return for Products judged non-conform or defective will be refunded upon presentation of receipts.

 

Refunds for Products judged non-conform or defective will be carried out as quickly as possible and at the latest within 14 days following the Vendor’s ascertainment of the lack of conformity or hidden defect.

 

The refund will be carried out by crediting the Client’s bank account or by cheque addressed to the Client.

 

The Vendor’s liability shall not be engaged in the following cases:

– non-compliance with the legislation of the country to which the Products are delivered, that it is the Client’s responsibility to check,

– in the event of misuse, utilisation for professional purposes, negligence or lack of maintenance on the part of the Client, as in the event of usual Product wear & tear, of accident or of force majeure.

 

The Vendor’s warranty is, in all events, limited to the replacement or refund of Products that do not conform or are found to be defective
