Terms of sale
ARTICLE 1 – SCOPE
These Terms of Sale apply wholly and unreservedly to all sales made by Créations Jean Vier (the ‘Seller’) to non-professional customers (the ‘Customers’ or ‘Customer’) who wish to purchase the products offered for sale by the Seller (the ‘Products’) on the website www.jean-vier.com.
They specify the conditions for ordering, payment, delivery and the management of any returns of products ordered by Customers.
When a natural (or legal) person places an order on the Jean-vier.com website, they are indicating their full and unconditional acceptance of these Terms of Sale, which is expressly acknowledged by the Customer, who agrees, in particular, not to invoke any contradictory document, which shall not be enforceable against the Seller. These Terms of Sale apply to the exclusion of any other terms, including but not limited to those applicable to in-store purchases or to purchases made via other distribution or sales channels.
The items for sale on this website are sold exclusively for Customers’ personal use. The Customer is forbidden from doing business with the items purchased. The company Créations Jean Vier reserves the right to refuse to sell its products to anyone whose behaviour indicates that they may be purchasing for commercial purposes.
Any photographs or graphics displayed on the website Jean-vier.com are not contractually binding and the Seller shall not be held responsible for them. To find out the essential characteristics and features of each product, the Customer is advised to check the description and specifications. The choice and purchase of a product is exclusively the Customer’s responsibility.
The Customer declares that they are familiar with these Terms of Sale and the Terms of Use of the website Jean-vier.com and that they accept them by ticking the box provided for this purpose before completing the order process.
These Terms of Sale may be modified at any time. The version applicable to the Customer’s purchase shall be the version in effect on the website on the date on which the order is placed.
In the absence of evidence to the contrary, the data recorded on the Seller’s computer system constitutes proof of all the transactions made with the Customer.
The Customer acknowledges that they have received clear, comprehensible communication of these Terms of Sale before entering into the contract, under the terms indicated in article 13.
ARTICLE 2 – PRODUCTS
2.1 - Jean-vier.com is a website intended to sell home linen items, decorative accessories and textiles.
2.2 - The products offered by the company Créations Jean Vier are available for as long as they are displayed online and subject to stock availability.
Any Customer complaint regarding an order for or the delivery of an unavailable item shall be considered unfounded.
ARTICLE 3 – ORDERING
3.1 - All online orders must be placed in accordance with the following procedure: having clicked on the ‘Add to basket’ icon and checked the details of the order (colour, quantity, price, dimensions, etc.), the Customer confirms their choice of product(s) by clicking.
3.2 - Orders only become definitive when the company Créations Jean Vier expressly accepts them.
Acceptance of the order is indicated by an order confirmation email sent to the Customer.
3.3 - Should a product prove unavailable, despite Créations Jean Vier’s confirmation of the order or before confirmation is sent, Créations Jean Vier agrees to notify the Customer via the channel of its choice.
The Customer may then modify the order containing the unavailable product or cancel the order for this product, without affecting any other products ordered.
The Customer shall then receive a refund from Créations Jean Vier, if payment has already been made.
3.4 - The Customer accepts that any order placed on a Friday or the day before a public holiday after 12 p.m. will be processed either the following Monday or the day after the public holiday.
ARTICLE 4 – DELIVERY
4.1 - Delivery consists of the transfer of physical possession or control of the product to the Customer through the handover of the product to the Customer at the delivery location indicated on the delivery note and confirmed by the acknowledgement of receipt.
4.2 - The Seller agrees to go to all reasonable efforts to deliver the products ordered by the Customer within the period indicated during the order process. However, delivery times are provided on an indicative basis; if the ordered products are not delivered within 20 days of the indicative delivery date (or, in any case, within thirty days of entering into the contract), for any reason not attributable to force majeure or the Customer, the sale may be terminated upon written request from the Customer under the terms provided for in articles L 138-2 and L 138-3 of the French Consumer Code. The sums paid by the Customer shall then be refunded within fourteen days of the contract termination date, without any compensation or deduction.
4.3 - The transfer of ownership of the products from the Seller to the Customer shall only take place when the full price of the products is paid by the Customer, regardless of delivery date.
Regardless of the date on which ownership of the products is transferred to the Customer, the transfer of risk of loss shall only take place at the moment when the Customer takes physical possession of the products. The products are therefore transported at the Seller’s risk.
4.4 - The Customer is responsible for checking the condition of the delivered products. The Customer has a period of forty-eight (48) hours from delivery to indicate any reservations or claims due to the delivered products’ non-conformity or apparent defects (for example, a damaged, opened parcel) via email or post, with all the relevant proof (especially photos). After this time, if these formalities have not been fulfilled, the products shall be assumed to be compliant and free of any apparent defects, and no claim shall be accepted by the Seller.
The Seller shall refund the Customer as soon as possible and at its own expense for any delivered products with conformity faults or apparent defects duly proven by the Customer, under the terms provided for in articles L 211-4 onwards of the French Consumer Code and those provided for in these Terms of Sale (article 9).
