In the event that a Product becomes unavailable after the validation of the Customer's Order, the Company shall immediately inform the Customer by e-mail. The Order shall be automatically cancelled and the Company shall proceed with the refund of the price of the Product initially ordered, as well as of any sum paid for the Order.

In general, in the event of refusal to authorize payment by officially accredited organizations or in the event of non-payment of the Order, the Company reserves the right to suspend and/or cancel said Order.

The Company reserves the right to suspend any of the payment methods at any time, in particular in the event that a payment service provider no longer offers the service used or in the event of a dispute with a Customer concerning a previous Order.

The Company reserves the right to set up a procedure for verifying Orders in order to ensure that no one uses another person's bank details without their knowledge. For this purpose, the Client may be asked to provide the Company with a copy of his or her ID and proof of address, as well as a copy of the credit card used for payment, by e-mail or by post. Precise indications on the exact content of the requested information (to preserve the confidentiality of its data) will be communicated to the Customer in case of verification. The order will be validated only after reception and verification of the documents sent.

Article 6 - DELIVERY - DEDICATION - RECEPTION

6.1 Delivery

Prior to the validation of the Order, the Company shall provide the Client with information concerning the different delivery methods and their respective prices. Once the Client has chosen a delivery method, the Company shall provide the Client with an estimated delivery time.

Air freight, shipping and/or delivery of the Product(s) shall be borne entirely by the Customer ("Shipping Costs"). These delivery costs are included in the final price charged to the Customer at the time of the Order.

Depending on the methods chosen by the Customer, the delivery will be made either to the address mentioned by the Customer or, if necessary, to a relay point chosen by the Customer from the list of available points.
