In accordance with the laws applicable to electronic signatures, the placing of an order as described below will be considered as an electronic signature and proof of the order and the amount due.

 

  1. SUBJECT 

The purpose of these general terms and conditions of sale is to define the terms of online sale and delivery of products by the Vendor to the Customer, as well as the rights and obligations of the parties arising from the online sale of products offered on the site.

The GTCS define all the steps required to place an order.

 

  1. PRODUCTS 

Article 2.1:

The Vendor presents on the site the products for sale and their detailed descriptions in the form of data sheets so that the potential Customer can find out about the essential characteristics of the products he wishes to purchase before placing an order.

The Seller will take all reasonable steps to ensure that all details, descriptions, images of products appearing on the site are correct and true to the original products, at the time the relevant information is entered into the system.

However, to the extent permitted by applicable law, the Seller does not warrant that such product details, descriptions or images are accurate, complete, reliable, current or error-free. Colors may vary from one computer device to another, and the Seller cannot be held responsible for inaccuracies in photographs.

Article 2.2:

The Seller offers for sale online the products of the Orlov Paris brand, namely niche perfumes.

Article 2.3:

The Seller will make every effort to indicate any temporary or definitive unavailability of products on the information page of the site describing each product or at the time the order is placed. If, despite our vigilance, an ordered product is no longer available when the order is dispatched, the Seller will be informed by e-mail or by telephone if the Seller has registered as a customer.

The customer will have the option of receiving only available products, or of cancelling the entire order. If the bank account has already been debited at the time of cancellation, the Vendor undertakes to reimburse the customer as soon as possible for the amount of the order if the order is cancelled in full, or for the amount of the unavailable products. The Vendor may withdraw or modify products from sale at any time, without affecting orders accepted by the Vendor prior to the entry into force of the modifications.

The Customer is informed that at any time during the ordering process and until the payment of the order, he/she has the possibility to come back to this order, to modify his/her basket, the quantity or to delete one or more products.

  1. LEGAL WARRANTIES OF CONFORMITY

 

Article 10.1:

 

The French Consumer Code stipulates the following concerning the legal warranty of conformity: Article L217-4 of the Consumer Code, "The Vendor is required to deliver goods in conformity with the contract and is responsible for any defects in conformity existing at the time of delivery.

He is also responsible for any lack of conformity resulting from the packaging, assembly instructions or installation when the latter was made his responsibility by the contract or was carried out under his responsibility". Article L211-5: "To conform to the contract, the goods must : Be fit for the use normally expected of similar goods and, where applicable : Correspond to the description given by the Seller and possess the qualities that the latter has presented to the Buyer in the form of a sample or model; Present the qualities that a Buyer may legitimately expect having regard to the public statements made by the Seller, by the producer or by his representative, notably in advertising and labelling; Or present the characteristics defined by mutual agreement between the parties or be fit for any special purpose sought by the Buyer, brought to the attention of the Seller and accepted by the latter." Article L217-12: "The action resulting from the lack of conformity is prescribed by two years from the date of delivery of the goods".

 

When acting under the legal warranty of conformity, the Customer: benefits from a period of two years from delivery of the good to act; may choose between repair or replacement of the good, unless one of the methods entails a cost that is manifestly disproportionate to the other method, given the value of the good or the importance of the defect, in which case the professional is required to choose the least costly method; is exempt from proving the existence of the lack of conformity of the good during the six months following delivery of the good. This period is extended to twenty-four months from March 18, 2016, except for second-hand goods.

 

The legal warranty of conformity applies independently of any commercial warranty.

The customer may decide to invoke the warranty against hidden defects in the item sold, as defined in article 1641 of the French Civil Code. In this case, the customer may choose between rescission of the sale or a reduction in the purchase price in accordance with article 1644 of the French Civil Code.

 

 

Article 10.2:

 

The Civil Code provides the following regarding the warranty for latent defects:

Article 1641: "The Seller is bound by the warranty for latent defects in the thing sold which render it unfit for the use for which it was intended, or which so diminish that use that the Buyer would not have acquired it, or would only have given a lesser price for it, if he had known of them."

Article 1648: "The action resulting from redhibitory defects must be brought by the purchaser within two years of the discovery of the defect. In the case provided for in Article 1642-1, the action must be brought, on pain of foreclosure, within one year of the date on which the Seller may be relieved of the defects or apparent lack of conformity."

 

 

Article 10.3:

 

Within the framework of the legal guarantee of conformity, the Vendor undertakes, at the Customer's choice: either to replace the Product with an identical Product depending on available stocks, or to refund the price of the Product within a maximum period of thirty (30) days if the replacement of a Product proves impossible.

 

Within the framework of the legal warranty against hidden defects, the Vendor undertakes, at the Customer's option and after evaluation of the defect: either to refund the full price of the Product returned within a maximum period of thirty (30) days, or to refund part of the price of the Product within a maximum period of thirty (30) days if the Customer decides to keep the Product.

 

Article 10.4:

 

Products modified or repaired by the customer, as well as products damaged by misuse, are not covered by the warranty.
