Article 5.2. Placing an Order

The orders of PRODUCTS are placed directly on the WEBSITE. To place an order, the CLIENT must follow the steps detailed below (please note, however, that depending on the CLIENT’s navigation page, the steps might differ slightly).

5.2.1. PRODUCT Selection and Purchase Options

The CLIENT must select the PRODUCT(s) of his or her choice by clicking on the chosen PRODUCT(s), as well as the characteristics and quantities. Once the PRODUCT(s) has been selected, the PRODUCT(s) is/are placed in the CLIENT’s shopping cart. The CLIENT can add as PRODUCT(s) as he or she wishes to his or her shopping cart.

5.2.2. Order

Once the PRODUCT(s) has/have been chosen and placed in the shopping cart, the CLIENT must click on it and verify that the content is correct. If the CLIENT has not done so, he or she will then be invited to sign in or create an account.

Once the CLIENT has validated the content of the shopping cart and signed in or signed up, he or she will be prompted to read an online, automatically filled-out form, that details the price, applicable taxes and, when applicable, cost of delivery. 

The CLIENT is invited to verify the content of his or her order (including the quantity, the characteristics and the references of the PRODUCTS that are ordered, the billing address, the means of payment and the price) before validating the contents of the order.

The CLIENT will then be able to proceed to the payment of the PRODUCTS by following the instructions on the WEBSITE and providing the information necessary for billing and DELIVERY of the PRODUCTS.

When a PRODUCT has different options available, the specific references will appear once the options have been selected.

The placed orders must have all the information necessary in order for the order to be processed correctly.

The CLIENT must also indicate the means of delivery chosen.

5.2.3. Acknowledgment of Receipt

Once all the previous steps indicated above have been completed, a page will appear on the WEBSITE acknowledging receipt of the CLIENT’s order.

The SELLER will not send any acknowledgment of receipt by mail or fax.

Following this, the client must indicate the means of payment chosen. Neither the purchase order that the CLIENT fills out online, not the acknowledgment of receipt of the order that the SELLER sends to the CLIENT via email, constitute an invoice. Whatever the means of order or payment chosen, the CLIENT will receive the original invoice at the moment of DELIVERY of the PRODUCTS, inside of the package.

5.3. Date of the Order

The date of the order is the date at which the SELLER acknowledged receipt online of the order. The delays indicated on the WEBSITE only begin as of this date.

The prices of the suppliers of the SELLER are subject to modification. Therefore, the prices indicated on the WEBSITE might change. The prices might also change based on offers or special sales.

The prices indicated are valid, except in case of gross negligence. The price applicable is the one that is indicated on the WEBSITE on the date the order is placed by the CLIENT.

Depending on the PRODUCT, the SELLER uses “just-in-time” inventory management. Therefore, depending on the case, the availability of PRODUCTS depends on the stock of the SELLER.

The SELLER will honor the orders received provided that the PRODUCTS are available.

The unavailability of a PRODUCT will, in principle, be indicated on the page of the PRODUCT in question.

The SELLER can also inform the CLIENT(S) when a PRODUCT is out of stock.

In any case, if the unavailability was not indicated at the moment the order was placed, the SELLER will inform the CLIENT, without delay, if the PRODUCT is unavailable.

At the request of the CLIENT, the SELLER may:

  •          Propose to deliver all the PRODUCTS simultaneously as soon as the PRODUCTS that are out of stock become available again,
  •          Perform a partial delivery of the PRODUCTS that are available immediately, and deliver the rest of the PRODUCTS as they become available, subject to providing the CLIENT with clear information about any extra cost of delivery,
  •          Propose an alternative PRODUCT that is equivalent in quality and price, subject to approval by the CLIENT,
