3. ORDER REGISTRATION AND CONFIRMATION

a. Ordering terms and conditions

To place an order, the Buyer must first log in to the Website.

The Buyer may then view the various Products offered for sale on the day they visit the Website and select their Products by (i) browsing the different Product categories or (ii) entering the Product name directly into the search engine or (iii) by clicking on one of the pages in the Site map at the bottom of each page, thereby accessing the full range of Products.

Whilst browsing the Website, a Buyer wishing to place an order may do so simply by clicking on the button to add the Product to the shopping basket.

Once this has been done, the Buyer will see the number of Products in their basket displayed. We would like to draw the Buyer’s attention to the fact that the contents of the basket may be subject to an expiry period.

The Buyer may then continue browsing or click on their shopping basket to view its contents on screen, which will show all the items in the order, including the key features of the Products, the total order amount, billing and delivery details, delivery times, costs and any delivery restrictions, as well as the Buyer’s legal rights and guarantees.

The Buyer may return to this order, add to it, amend it or cancel it as long as they have not yet confirmed it definitively. If the Buyer wishes to select other Product(s), they may continue browsing the Website, safe in the knowledge that the Product(s) they have just selected will remain in their shopping basket.

Once the selection of Products is complete, the Buyer can place an order by confirming it via the button provided for this purpose. A new page will then open, prompting the Buyer to either:

  • Enter your username (email address) and password if you are already registered on the Website,
  • Please complete the personal data collection form accurately by filling in the required fields, including Surname, First Name, Email address, Billing address, and Delivery address (the address to which deliveries can be made during business hours from Monday to Friday in France).

The Buyer undertakes to complete the form provided to them in good faith. The Buyer acknowledges that the data they provide to the Seller and which is stored in the information systems of the Seller and/or its subcontractors is accurate and constitutes proof of their identity. It is noted that this personal data is governed by the Personal Data Policy available here.

After checking the contents of their order, the Buyer is asked to:

  • Either by clicking on the button to proceed to payment for their order, in accordance with the terms set out in these Terms and Conditions;
  • Either by clicking on the button that allows them to edit their basket and/or their personal details.

By clicking on the button to proceed to payment for the order, the Buyer must first read these Terms and Conditions of Sale and then confirm their agreement to all of them by completing the required confirmation step on the Website (for example, by ticking a box).

Once the Buyer confirms their acceptance of the T&Cs, a webpage dedicated to payment for the order will open. All orders are subject to payment, meaning that placing an order implies payment by the Buyer.

The Buyer must then proceed to pay for their order in accordance with the terms set out in these T&Cs.

Please note that by choosing to pay by credit card, as provided for in Article 4 below, the Buyer will be automatically redirected to the payment service provider’s payment server. The payment service provider’s server is secured by SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) encryption in order to protect all payment-related data as effectively as possible, ensuring that the Buyer’s bank details are never transmitted via the Seller’s IT system. The Seller is therefore not liable.

The Seller’s computerised records or any other data recorded by the Seller shall constitute proof of all transactions between the Seller and the Buyer.

b. Order confirmation

Once the order has been confirmed and payment has been processed in accordance with the terms set out below, a printable and downloadable summary of the Buyer’s order will be displayed, including the order reference number.

An order confirmation email will be sent by the Seller as soon as possible to the email address provided by the Buyer and will include the following information:

  • The Seller’s identity and contact details,
  • The order reference recorded at the time the order was placed,
  • The order summary and the key features of the Products,
  • Delivery times, costs and any restrictions,
  • The total amount of the order, including all taxes,
  • The legal rights and guarantees available to the Buyer,
  • Confirmation of payment,
  • These General Terms and Conditions of Sale,
  • The withdrawal form.

The Seller retains ownership of the Product(s) ordered until full payment of the price and any associated charges, including delivery costs, has been received by the Seller. In the event of a payment default, the Buyer undertakes to return the Products received to the Seller, at the Buyer’s expense, upon first request.

In order to protect the Seller from fraudulent practices, and in the event that the Seller or the online payment provider suspects that an order is fraudulent, they reserve the right to ask the Buyer (prior to processing the order) for additional documentation (in particular proof of the Buyer’s identity) in order to verify that the order is not fraudulent.

If the Buyer fails to respond within fifteen (15) days of the Seller or the online payment provider sending the request, the order will be cancelled and no payment will be collected by the Seller. In the event that payment for the order has already been received, the Seller shall, within fourteen (14) days of the expiry of the aforementioned period, refund the amount, using the payment method employed by the Buyer. 

c. Proof of order

It is expressly agreed between the Seller and the Buyer that emails shall be deemed authentic between the Parties, as shall the automatic recording systems used on the Website, in particular with regard to the nature and date of the order.

The Buyer may access, where applicable in accordance with the rules of ordinary law, the electronic contract concluded between the Buyer and the Seller. To do so, the Buyer shall contact Customer Services here, providing all the necessary information, in particular the order number and their contact details.

4. PAYMENT

The amount payable by the Buyer is the amount stated on the order confirmation as displayed on the relevant webpage and subsequently sent by email by the Seller to the Buyer.

When confirming their order as described above, the Buyer may choose from a range of payment methods.

The Products are delivered by a specialist service provider (hereinafter the “Carrier”). If the Buyer is not at home, the Carrier will leave a delivery notice in the Buyer’s letterbox. The Buyer must then contact the Carrier to arrange a new delivery date. It is nevertheless specified that if the Buyer does not contact the Carrier, the latter will make two further delivery attempts, the date and time of which will be determined at the Carrier’s discretion.

The Buyer is informed that the parcel will be held by the Delivery Company for a period of ten (10) days following the first delivery attempt.

If, during this investigation, the order is located within 7 days of the date of the customer’s letter, it will be dispatched within 14 days of the date of the customer’s letter to the delivery address specified in the order. Once this 7-day period has elapsed, or if, following this investigation, the order is deemed lost, the Seller shall refund the full amount paid by the Buyer (including delivery charges), via the payment method used, within 14 days of receiving the customer’s email.

In any event, in the event of a delivery delay of more than 16 working days from the date of the Buyer’s email reporting the delay, not due to force majeure, the Buyer may cancel their order by contacting Customer Services via email: info-france@flokk.com.

Any such reservation must be notified simultaneously and as soon as possible to the Seller’s Customer Service department here. A copy of the complaint sent to the Carrier must be attached.

6. STATUTORY WARRANTIES

a. Description of statutory guarantees

Statutory guarantee of conformity  – In accordance with Articles L. 217-3 et seq. of the French Consumer Code, the Seller is obliged to deliver a Product that complies with the order placed by the Buyer and shall be liable for any lack of conformity existing at the time of delivery of said Product, which becomes apparent within two (2) years of delivery.

The Seller is also liable, within the same time limits, for any lack of conformity resulting from the packaging.

This warranty period applies without prejudice to Articles 2224 et seq. of the Civil Code. The limitation period for the Buyer’s claim begins on the day the Buyer becomes aware of the lack of conformity.

  • Under the statutory guarantee of conformity, the Product must, in particular, comply with the terms of the contract by:
    • 1. Conform to the description, type, quantity and quality, or any other characteristic specified in the contract;
    • 2. Be suitable for any specific purpose required by the Buyer, which has been brought to the Seller’s attention no later than at the time the contract is concluded and which the Seller has accepted;
    • 3. Be delivered with all accessories to be supplied in accordance with the contract.
  • In addition to the criteria for conformity with the contract, the Product is deemed to be in conformity if it meets the following criteria:
    • 1. It is fit for the purpose for which goods of the same type are normally intended, taking into account, where applicable, any provisions of European Union law and national law, as well as any technical standards or, in the absence of such technical standards, the specific codes of conduct applicable to the sector concerned;
    • 2. Where applicable, it possesses the qualities that the Seller presented to the Buyer in the form of a sample or model prior to the conclusion of the contract;
    • 3. Where applicable, it shall be supplied with all accessories, including packaging, that the Buyer may reasonably expect;
    • 4. It corresponds in quantity, quality and other characteristics, including in particular durability and safety, that the Buyer may legitimately expect for goods of the same type, having regard to the nature of the Product and to any public statements made by the Seller, by any person upstream in the chain of transactions, or by a person acting on their behalf, including in advertising or on labelling.
  • However, the Seller shall not be bound by any public statements referred to in the preceding paragraph if it can demonstrate:
    • 1. That he did not know them and was not reasonably in a position to know them;
    • 2. that, at the time the contract was concluded, the public statements had been corrected in circumstances comparable to those of the original statements; or
    • 3. That the public statements could not have influenced the decision to purchase.

The Buyer may not contest conformity on the grounds of a defect relating to one or more specific characteristics of the Product, in respect of which the Buyer was specifically informed that they deviated from the criteria of conformity set out above, and to which deviation the Buyer expressly and separately consented at the time the contract was concluded.

Unless otherwise expressly stated in relation to specific products, the Seller does not provide any commercial guarantee within the meaning of Article L. 217-21 of the Consumer Code.

Statutory warranty against hidden defects  – Similarly, in accordance with Article 1641 of the Civil Code, the Seller is liable under the warranty for hidden defects in the item sold which render it unfit for its intended use, or which so impair that use that the Buyer would not have purchased it, or would have paid only a lower price for it, had they been aware of them.

Any claim arising from such defects must be brought by the Buyer within two (2) years of the discovery of the defect.

b. Procedure to follow

If the Products delivered do not match those ordered by the Buyer or if they contain hidden defects, the Buyer must send an email to the Seller’s Customer Service department here to notify them of the non-conformity or hidden defects in their Product(s).

The Seller’s Customer Service team will acknowledge receipt of the Buyer’s request and confirm the procedure to be followed. Upon receipt of instructions from the Seller’s Customer Service team, the Buyer shall return the non-compliant Products or those affected by a hidden defect to the Seller at the address provided by Customer Service.

The Product(s) must be (i) returned, at the Seller’s expense, complete, unused (except in the case of a hidden defect), in their original, undamaged packaging and (ii) where possible accompanied by their original packaging, the return form and a photocopy of the invoice.

Furthermore, the Seller does not accept parcels sent carriage forward. Any risk associated with the return of the Product(s) shall be borne by the Seller.

Upon receipt of the Product(s) alleged to be non-compliant or to have a hidden defect, the Seller shall inspect the Product(s) to determine whether or not they comply with the terms of the sale. Similarly, the Seller may carry out a quality test on the Product(s) returned by the Buyer to verify that the returned Product(s) are indeed the original Product(s). It is understood that these checks shall be carried out as soon as possible and within a maximum period of one (1) month.

c. Content of statutory guarantees

If it is confirmed that the Product(s) is/are non-compliant or that a latent defect is found to exist, the Buyer may choose between repair and replacement of the Product, subject to the cost conditions set out in Article L. 217-12 of the French Consumer Code. Please note that the Buyer (i) has a period of two (2) years from the delivery of the Product to take action and (ii) is exempt from providing proof of the Product’s lack of conformity during the twenty-four (24) months following the delivery of the Product.

In the context of the Buyer’s right to claim under the warranty against hidden defects in the goods sold, as provided for in Article 1641 of the Civil Code, the Buyer may choose between rescission of the sale or a reduction in the purchase price in accordance with Article 1644 of the Civil Code.

7. RIGHT OF WITHDRAWAL

a. Scope of statutory guarantees

The Buyer has a right of withdrawal which they may exercise within fourteen (14) clear days, without having to give any reason or pay any penalties, except for the cost of returning the goods, which is their responsibility. This withdrawal period expires fourteen (14) clear days after the day on which the Buyer, or a third party designated by the Buyer other than the Carrier, takes physical possession of the Products.

If the Buyer has ordered several Products in a single order, or if the Products have been delivered in several instalments, the withdrawal period does not begin until the Buyer, or a third party designated by the Buyer other than the Carrier, has taken physical possession of the last Product or the final instalment of the delivery.
To exercise their right of withdrawal, the Buyer must notify the Seller of their decision to withdraw by means of an unambiguous statement before the expiry of the withdrawal period, in particular:

(i) by telephone on: 01 48 61 99 12

(ii) by email, by filling in the form available here

In order for the withdrawal period to be observed, the Buyer need only send notification of their intention to exercise their right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period expires.

If the withdrawal relates only to some of the products ordered, the Buyer must specify on the withdrawal form exactly which products the withdrawal relates to.

b. Returning the Products subject to the cancellation

Once the Buyer has notified the Seller of their decision to withdraw, the Buyer must return the Product(s) to the Seller in full, unused, in their original, unopened packaging and, where possible, accompanied by their original packaging, the return form and a copy of the invoice, without undue delay and no later than fourteen (14) days following the Buyer’s notification of their decision to withdraw, to the address provided by Customer Services. This deadline is deemed to have been met if the Products are returned before the expiry of the fourteen (14)-day withdrawal period.

If the Products are not returned within fourteen (14) days of the Buyer notifying us of their decision to withdraw, no refund will be issued.
The cost of returning the Product(s) shall be borne by the Buyer.

c. Refund of the Products subject to cancellation

The Seller undertakes, following inspection of the returned product, to refund the Buyer the full amount paid, including delivery costs (with the exception of any additional delivery costs arising from the Buyer having chosen, where applicable, a delivery method other than the least expensive standard delivery option offered by the Seller). Unless the Buyer expressly agrees to another method of refund, the refund for the Product(s) shall be made via the original payment method used by the Buyer, without undue delay and, in any event, no later than fourteen (14) days from the date on which the Seller is informed of the Buyer’s decision to withdraw. This refund shall not incur any costs for the Buyer. However, the refund of this sum may be deferred until the returned Products have been effectively recovered or until the Buyer has provided proof of dispatch of the Product, whichever occurs first.

The Buyer is advised that Products whose seals have been broken after delivery are not eligible for a refund.

For further information regarding the scope, content and instructions on how to exercise the Buyer’s right of withdrawal, the Buyer may contact Customer Services here.
