The order or pre-order is placed with the Seller by the Customer upon selection of one or more Products which, in accordance with the selection, the Customer places in his "basket" (the "Order" or "Pre-order").

Part of the Web Site operates on a pre-order system. By placing a Pre-Order, the Customer acknowledges that if the Pre-Order target, defined as the number of Pre-Order orders that must be validated in order for production to be launched (mentioned on the Pre-Order product sheet), is not reached by the end of the Pre-Order deadline, the Customer will be reimbursed for the entirety of his/her purchase, and production of the Pre-Ordered item will not be launched. If the Customer wishes to be reimbursed for a pre-ordered or in-stock order and requests it, the reimbursement procedure will be initiated immediately after receipt of the returned item. Any order or pre-order (hereinafter the "Orders" or "Pre-orders") of Products on the Web Site implies the prior consultation of these general terms and conditions (the "GTC") and their unreserved and irrevocable acceptance. Consequently, the Customer acknowledges that he/she is fully aware of the fact that his/her agreement concerning the content of these GTC does not require the handwritten signature of this document, insofar as the Customer wishes to order online the Products presented in the Website's store. The Customer declares to have the capacity to conclude the present contract, i.e. to have the legal majority, eighteen (18) years, and not to be under guardianship. The parties agree that their relations will be exclusively governed by these GTC.



The Customer may access the summary of his or her shopping cart at any time before the Order or Pre-order has been definitively validated and may correct any errors in the information entered.

The Order or the Pre-order shall be validated only after the Customer has provided the information required for the proper execution of the Sale and paid the Total Price. This information may include: Customer's name, billing address, e-mail address, telephone number, delivery address and recipient's telephone number.

In the case of a Pre-Order, the sums paid in advance by the Customer do not constitute a deposit, within the meaning of Article 1590 of the Civil Code.

If the minimum objective of a Pre-order campaign is not reached, the Seller shall contact the Customer at the end of the campaign to announce its decision of refund or production.

In this case, the Seller shall refund the Customer within fourteen (14) days from the cancellation of the Pre-Order.

The Seller is not responsible for any inaccuracies in the order placed by the Customer.

The Customer guarantees the accuracy of all such information. Should any or all of the delivery addresses prove to be inaccurate, thereby requiring Seller to return the orders to its warehouse, Customer shall bear the consequences thereof and Seller shall be entitled to charge the administrative and shipping costs associated with returning the Products.

By validating the Order or the Pre-order, the Customer expressly accepts the present General Terms and Conditions of Sale, by checking the box "I have read and accept the General Terms and Conditions of Sale".

4. VALIDATION OF THE SALE

The Sale is completed after payment of the Total Price validating the Order.

Any Order or Pre-order confirmed by the Customer implies the irrevocable acceptance of the Sale which can only be called into question in the cases exhaustively provided for in Article 8 (Right of cancellation).

The Products shall be shipped once the Seller has received payment for the Order or when the Pre-ordered Products have been manufactured.

6. PRODUCT AVAILABILITY

In case of stock shortage, the Seller shall not be held responsible for the physical impossibility to honor the Sale.

The Products are delivered to the delivery address indicated during the validation of the Order or the Pre-order.

The delivery time depends on the state of the stock, the date of shipment of the Products and the delivery time induced by the delivery method and destination.

The Customer acknowledges that, in case of a Pre-order, the delivery time will be extended. The estimated delivery time is indicated on the product sheet at the time of purchase, and in the Order or Pre-order confirmation e-mail. The delivery time depends on the time required and the volume of production of all the pre-ordered products.

The Seller shall not be held responsible for the consequences due to a delay in delivery that is not of its making or that is due to an act of force majeure.

Delivery costs may vary depending on the destination and must be fully paid by the Customer.
