Clause 8 – Product
information
The products governed by these general conditions are those which appear
on the Vendor's website and which are indicated as sold and dispatched by the Vendor.
They are offered within the limits of available stocks. The products are described
and presented with the greatest possible accuracy. However, if errors or

particular environmental taxes, were to be created or modified, either upwards
or downwards, this change could be passed on to the sale price of the products.
Clause 10 – Mode of

This is an order with a payment obligation, which means that placing the
order implies payment by the Buyer. In order to pay for the order, the Buyer
has the choice of all the payment methods made available by the Vendor and
listed on the Vendor's website. The Buyer guarantees the Vendor that he/she has
the necessary authorisations to use the payment method chosen by him/her when
validating the order form. The Vendor reserves the right to cancel any order
and any delivery in the event of refusal to authorise payment by bank or credit
card by the officially accredited organisations or in the event of non-payment.
The Vendor reserves the right to refuse to make a delivery or to honour an
order from a buyer who has not paid in full or in part for a previous order or
with whom a payment dispute is in progress. The price shall be paid in full on
the day of the order, according to the following terms: by bank or credit card
or PayPal. The price shall be paid in full, according to the following terms:
by payment card or PayPal.
Clause 11 – Product
availability - Refunds - Resolution
Except in cases of force majeure or during periods when the online shop
is closed, which will be clearly announced on the site home page, within the
limits of available stocks, the delivery times will be those indicated on the
product sheet. The delivery times run from the date of registration of the
order shown on the order confirmation e-mail. For deliveries to Mainland France
and Corsica, the deadline is seven days from the day the Vendor notifies the Buyer
of availability of the product. At the latest, the deadline will be 30 working
days after confirmation of product availability. For deliveries to French
overseas departments and territories or to another country, the delivery terms
will be specified to the Buyer on a case-by-case basis. In the event of failure
to comply with the agreed delivery date or deadline, the Buyer shall, before terminating
the contract, require the Vendor to perform within a reasonable additional period.
If the Vendor fails to do so within this new period, the Buyer may freely terminate
the contract. The Buyer must complete these successive formalities by recorded
delivery letter or in writing on another durable medium. The contract shall be
deemed to have been terminated on receipt by the Vendor of the letter or
writing informing him of such termination, unless the trader has performed in
the meantime. The Buyer may, however, terminate the contract immediately if the
above dates or time limits are an essential condition of the contract for him.
In this case, when the contract is terminated, the Vendor shall be obliged to
reimburse the Buyer for all sums paid, at the latest within 14 days of the date
on which the contract was terminated. In the event of unavailability of the
product ordered, the Buyer will be informed as soon as possible and will have
the option of cancelling the order. The Buyer will then have the choice of
requesting either a refund of the sums paid within 14 days at the latest of
their payment, or exchange of the product.
Clause 12 – Terms of
delivery
Delivery means the transfer to the consumer of physical possession or
control of the goods. The products ordered shall be delivered according to the
terms and conditions and within the period specified above. The products shall
be delivered to the address given by the Buyer on the order form, the Buyer
must ensure that it is correct. Any parcel returned to the Vendor because of an
incorrect or incomplete delivery address will be reshipped at the Buyer's
expense. The Buyer can, on request, get the invoice to be sent to the billing
address and not to the delivery address, by checking the option provided for
this purpose on the order form. If the Buyer is absent on the day of delivery,
the delivery person will leave a note in the letterbox, which will allow the Buyer
to collect the parcel at the place and during the time indicated. If, at the
time of delivery, the original packaging is damaged, torn or open, the Buyer
must check the condition of the items. If they have been damaged, the Buyer
must refuse the parcel and note a reservation on the delivery note (parcel
refused because opened or damaged). The Buyer must indicate any anomaly
concerning the delivery (damage, product missing compared to the delivery note,
damaged package, broken products, etc.) on the delivery note and in the form of
handwritten reservations accompanied by his signature. This verification will
be deemed to have been carried out as soon as the Buyer, or a person authorised
by him/her, has signed the delivery note. The Buyer must then confirm these
reservations to the carrier by registered mail at the latest within two working
days following receipt of the item(s) and send a copy of this letter by fax or standard
mail to the Vendor at the address shown in the site's legal notices. If the
products need to be returned to the Vendor, they must be the subject of a
return request to the Vendor within 14 days of delivery. Any claim made outside
this period will not be accepted. Return of the product can only be accepted
for products in their original condition (packaging, accessories, instructions,
etc.).
Clause 13 – Shipping
errors
On the day of delivery or at the latest on the first working day
following delivery, the Buyer must submit to the Vendor any claim for a
shipping error and/or non-conformity of the products in kind or in quality
compared to what is shown on the order form. Any claim made after this deadline
will be rejected. The Buyer may choose to submit the claim either by:
●
Telephone number 0603068054;
●
E-mail, address:
eshop@margauxtardits.com.
Any claim not made in accordance with the rules defined above and within
the time limits set shall not be taken into account and shall release the Vendor
from any liability towards the Buyer.
Upon receipt of the claim, the Vendor will assign an exchange number for
the product(s) concerned and will communicate it by e-mail to the Buyer. A
product can only be exchanged after the exchange number has been allocated. In
the event of a delivery error or exchange, any product to be exchanged or
refunded must be returned to the Vendor in its entirety and in its original
packaging, by registered post, to the following address: 95 Boulevard Magenta,
75010 PARIS. The Vendor shall bear the return costs.
Clause 14 – Product
warranty
Legal guarantee of conformity and legal guarantee for hidden defects:
MARGAUX TARDITS guarantees that the goods comply with the contract, enabling
the Buyer to make a claim under the legal guarantee of conformity provided for
in articles L. 217-4 et seq. of the French Consumer Code, or the guarantee of
defects in the item sold as defined in articles 1641 et seq. of the French
Civil Code. In case of implementation of the legal guarantee of conformity, it
is recalled that:
●
The Buyer has a period
of two years from delivery of the goods to act;
●
The Buyer may choose
between repair or replacement of the goods, subject to the cost conditions set
out in Article L. 217-17 of the Consumer Code;
● The Buyer does not have to prove non-conformity of the goods during the
24 months following delivery of the goods in the case of new goods.
In addition, it is recalled that:
●
The legal guarantee of
conformity applies independently of the commercial warranty indicated below;
● The Buyer may decide to implement the guarantee against hidden defects in
the thing sold within the meaning of Article 1641 of the French Civil Code. In
this case, the Buyer can choose between termination of the sale or a reduction in
the price in accordance with Article 1644 of the French Civil Code.
Commercial warranty
The products sold are also covered by a commercial warranty aimed at
guaranteeing their conformity and ensuring reimbursement of the purchase price,
replacement or repair of the goods. It does not cover defects caused by
abnormal or faulty use or resulting from a cause unrelated to the intrinsic
qualities of the products.
Clause 15 – Right to
cancel
Application of the
right to cancel
In accordance with the provisions of the French Consumer Code, the Buyer
has a period of 14 days from the date of delivery of the order to return any
item that does not suit and to request an exchange or refund without penalty,
with the exception of the return costs, which remain the Buyer’s responsibility.
Returns must be made in their original condition and complete (packaging,
accessories, instructions, etc.), accompanied by the purchase invoice, so that
they can be remarketed in new condition. Damaged, soiled or incomplete products
cannot be returned. The right to cancel can be exercised online, using the cancellation
form available on this website. In this case, an acknowledgement of receipt on
a durable medium will be sent immediately to the Buyer. Any other method of
declaring the desire to cancel the order shall be accepted. It must be
unambiguous and express the desire to cancel. If the right to cancel is
exercised within the above-mentioned period, the price of the product(s)
purchased and the delivery costs shall be reimbursed. The Buyer is responsible
for the return shipping costs. The exchange (subject to availability) or refund
will be made within 48 hours, and at the latest, within 14 days of receipt by
the Vendor of the products returned by the Buyer under the conditions set out
above.
Exceptions
According to Article L221-28 of the Consumer Code, the right to cancel
cannot be exercised for contracts:
●
To supply goods whose
price depends on fluctuations in the financial market beyond the trader's
control and which may occur during the cancellation period;
● To supply goods made to the consumer's specifications or clearly
personalised.
Clause 16 – Force
majeure
Any circumstances beyond the control of the parties which prevent
performance of their obligations under normal conditions shall be considered as
grounds for exemption from the parties’ obligations and shall result in their
suspension. The party invoking the above-mentioned circumstances must
immediately notify the other party of their occurrence and of their
disappearance. All facts or circumstances that are irresistible, external to the
parties, unforeseeable, unavoidable, independent of the will of the parties and
which cannot be prevented by the latter, despite all reasonably possible
efforts, shall be considered to be force majeure. The following, in addition to
those usually reserved by the jurisprudence of the French courts and tribunals
are expressly considered to be cases of force majeure or fortuitous events:
blockage of means of transport or supplies, earthquakes, fires, storms, floods,
lightning, stoppage of telecommunication networks or difficulties specific to
telecommunication networks external to customers. The parties shall meet to
examine the impact of the event and agree on the conditions under which
performance of the contract shall continue. If the case of force majeure lasts
longer than three months, the present general conditions may be terminated by
the injured party.

If one or more provisions of these general terms and conditions are held
to be invalid or declared to be such in application of a law, a regulation or
following a final decision by a competent court, the other provisions shall
retain all their force and scope.
Clause 20 – Non-waiver
The fact that one of the parties does not avail itself of a breach by
the other party of any of the obligations referred to in these general
conditions shall not be interpreted for the future as a renunciation of the
obligation in question.

clauses and any of the clauses, the headings shall be declared non-existent.

Consumer Code
Article L. 217-4:
"The vendor shall deliver goods in conformity with the contract and
shall be liable for any lack of conformity existing at the time of delivery. He
shall also be liable for any lack of conformity resulting from the packaging,
the assembly instructions or the installation when the latter was made his
responsibility by the contract or was carried out under his responsibility.”
Article L. 217-5:
"The goods are in conformity with the contract:
1° If they are fit for the purpose ordinarily expected of similar goods
and, if so:
●
If they correspond to
the description given by the vendor and have the qualities that the vendor
presented to the buyer in the form of a sample or model;
●
They have the qualities
that a purchaser may legitimately expect, having regard to the public
statements made by the vendor, the producer or his representative, particularly
in advertising or labelling;
2° Or if they have the characteristics defined by mutual agreement
between the parties or are fit for any special purpose sought by the buyer,
brought to the attention of the vendor and accepted by the latter.”
Article L. 217-6:
"The vendor is not bound by the public statements by the producer
or its representative if it is established that the vendor did not know them
and was not legitimately in a position to know them.”
Article L. 217-7:
“Lack of conformity which appears within twenty-four months of delivery
of the goods shall be presumed to have existed at the time of delivery, unless
proven otherwise. For goods sold second-hand, this period is set at six months.
The vendor may rebut this presumption if it is incompatible with the nature of
the goods or the lack of conformity claimed.”
Article L. 217-8:
“The buyer is entitled to demand that the goods conform to the contract.
The buyer may not, however, contest conformity by invoking a defect of which the
buyer was aware or of which the buyer could not have been unaware when entering
into a contract. The same shall apply where the defect originates in materials
supplied by the buyer.”
Article L. 217-9:
“In the event of lack of conformity, the buyer shall choose between
repair and replacement of the goods. However, the vendor may not proceed
according to the buyer's choice if this choice entails a cost that is clearly
disproportionate to the other option, taking into account the value of the
goods or the importance of the defect. The vendor shall then be obliged to
proceed, unless this is impossible, according to the method not chosen by the
buyer.”
Article L. 217-10:
"If repair and replacement of the goods are impossible, the buyer
may return the goods and have the price returned or keep the goods and have
part of the price returned. The same option is open to him:
1° If the solution requested, proposed or agreed upon pursuant to
Article L. 217-9 cannot be implemented within one month of the buyer's
complaint;
2° Or if this solution cannot be found without major inconvenience to
the buyer, given the nature of the goods and the use he is seeking. However,
the sale may not be cancelled if the lack of conformity is minor.”
Article L. 217-11:
Application of the provisions of Articles L. 217-9 and L. 217-10 shall
take place at no cost to the buyer. These same provisions do not prevent the
allocation of damages.
Article L. 217-12:
"The action resulting from the lack of conformity is prescribed by
two years from the delivery of the goods.”
Article L. 217-13:
"The provisions of this section do not deprive the buyer of the
right to exercise the action resulting from redhibitory defects as it ensues
from articles 1641 to 1649 of the French Civil Code or any other action of a
contractual or extra-contractual nature which is recognised by the law.”
Article L. 217-14:
"The recourse action may be brought by the final vendor against
successive vendors or intermediaries and the producer of the tangible property
according to the principles of the Civil Code.”
Article L. 217-15:
"The commercial guarantee shall mean any contractual commitment by
a trader to the consumer to reimburse the purchase price, replace or repair the
goods or provide any other service in relation to the goods, in addition to its
legal obligations to ensure conformity of the goods. The commercial guarantee
shall be the subject of a written contract, a copy of which shall be given to
the buyer. The contract shall specify the content of the guarantee, the manner
of its implementation, its price, its duration, its territorial scope and the
name and address of the guarantor. In addition, it shall clearly and precisely
mention that, independently of the commercial guarantee, the vendor remains
bound by the legal guarantee of conformity mentioned in Articles L. 217-4 to L.
217-12 and that relating to defects in the thing sold, under the conditions set
out in Articles 1641 to 1648 and 2232 of the Civil Code. The provisions of
Articles L. 217-4, L. 217-5, L. 217-12 and L. 217-16 as well as Article 1641
and the first paragraph of Article 1648 of the Civil Code are reproduced in
full in the contract. In the event of non-compliance with these provisions, the
guarantee shall remain valid. The buyer is entitled to avail himself of
this. ”
Article L. 217-16:
“When the buyer asks the vendor, during the course of the commercial
guarantee granted to the buyer at the time of the acquisition or repair of a
movable good, for a repair covered by the guarantee, any period of
immobilisation of at least seven days shall be added to the duration of the
guarantee that remained. This period shall run from the date of the buyer's
request for intervention or from the time the item in question is made
available for repair, if this is later than the request for intervention.”
Civil Code
Article 1641:
“The vendor is liable for hidden defects in the item sold which render
it unfit for the purpose for which it was intended, or which so diminish that
purpose that the buyer would not have acquired it or would only have paid a
lower price for it, if the buyer had known about them.”
Article 1648:
“The action resulting from redhibitory defects must be brought by the
purchaser within two years from discovery of the defect. In the case provided
for by Article 1642-1, the action must be brought, on pain of foreclosure, within
one year from the date on which the vendor may be discharged from the defects
or apparent "lack of conformity".”
