These general rental conditions (GTC) apply to all rental contract subscriptions made by any non-professional customer (the "Customer") to the company SOLABLE (the "Supplier"), a simplified joint stock company with a capital of 13.500, having its registered office at 8 avenue Fernand JULIEN, 13410 Lambesc (France), registered in the SALON-DE-PROVENCE Trade and Companies Register under number B811565803, SIRET number: 81156580300012, Intracommunity VAT number: FR40811565803, via the online shop on the https://lavie.bio website, owned by SOLABLE.

The online shop https://lavie.bio offers its customers the possibility of subscribing to the "Club Lavie" service, which involves taking out rental contracts for the delivery and use of electronic water purification products, for regular and private use, as well as a Customer Service service in return for the payment of monthly instalments, the amount of which is defined at the time of subscription according to the price list presented on the online shop.

Any subscription to hire through the online shop presumes knowledge of these general terms and conditions of hire and implies the agreement of the contracting Customer to their entire content.

The Supplier reserves the right to modify these general rental conditions at any time. In this case, only the general rental conditions in force on the day the rental is taken out will be applicable, until the end of the said rental or at any time after the Customer has been informed and accepted the modified general conditions.

These conditions prevail over any other document. Any special condition derogating from or in addition to the T&Cs must be accepted in writing by the Supplier beforehand.

The services offered by the Supplier and detailed herein apply throughout French territory.

ARTICLE 3. LEGAL AGE AND CAPACITY

The Customer declares that he/she is legally capable of entering into this Contract, the General Terms and Conditions of Sale of which are set out below, i.e. that he/she is of legal age and not under guardianship or curatorship.

ARTICLE 3 - SUBSCRIPTION TO SERVICES

3.1 - LEASE SUBSCRIPTION PROCESS

Contractual information is presented in French.

The Customer is hereby informed that the services offered by the Supplier are intended exclusively for the whole of France, excluding French overseas departments and territories.

As a result, the Supplier reserves the right to refuse the requested service on this ground or, if feasible, to demand additional charges from any customer wishing to subscribe to the said service outside this territorial limit.

When subscribing, the Customer undertakes that the products to be rented will be for personal and private use only, and will not be used for any commercial, industrial, craft, liberal or agricultural activity.

When you sign up for a rental contract electronically via the online shop, you follow the steps below:

Select the product(s) in the corresponding category using the "add to basket" tab;
Customer identification via the "log in" or "register" section when subscribing for the first time;
Indication of date of birth, billing address and delivery address (if different) in the "delivery" section;
Validation of the general rental conditions ;
Select the "Proceed to payment" section;
Identification of payment terms and payment of the first instalment ;
Indication of a certain amount of personal information in order to finalise the order;
Order confirmation.

If the Supplier refuses the order, no direct debit will be made.

The rental offers and prices in force remain valid for as long as they remain visible on the online shop, and always within the limits of available stocks.

If the product is unavailable after the Customer has validated the subscription (article 6.1), the Customer will be informed of the timeframe within which the product will be made available, or will be offered another product with the same characteristics.

Any Customer who does not wish to wait for the replacement to be made available or who refuses the replacement proposal will be reimbursed for the price paid, if their bank account has been debited, within thirty (30) days of the effective date of payment.

3.2 - CONSENT

The Customer's attention is particularly drawn to the method of acceptance of the electronic subscription to the rental contract via the online shop. By clicking on the "REGISTER" button and ticking the box indicating that they have read and accepted the Supplier's general terms and conditions of hire, validating the subscription, the Customer accepts the hire contract unreservedly.

3.3 - VALIDATING THE RENTAL

The information provided by the Customer when subscribing electronically to the hire contract (in particular the name and delivery address) is binding on the Customer. Therefore, the Supplier cannot be held liable in any way in the event that an error attributable to the Customer at the time of the electronic subscription prevents or delays the performance of the service, and in particular the delivery of the product(s).

The Supplier reserves the right to refuse an order in the event that the Customer is not up to date with its obligations of any nature whatsoever, and in particular, without this list being exhaustive, failure to pay, payment incident during a previous order. Such a refusal constitutes a legitimate reason within the meaning of article L.121-11 of the French Consumer Code and does not constitute a refusal to sell.

3.4 - RENTAL PAYMENT

3.4.1 RENTAL PAYMENT METHOD

Payment is made by the Customer using a bank card, an online payment service (Apple Pay, Google Pay) or a SEPA direct debit from their bank account, for the first payment and for subsequent monthly payments.

To this end, the Customer enters his/her payment card details or bank account details (in RIB or IBAN format) on the secure interface of the Supplier's payment service provider. A request for confirmation and final validation is then requested, which constitutes an electronic signature, equivalent to a handwritten signature in accordance with the provisions of article 1367 of the French Civil Code.

If the Customer's bank details change during the rental period, they are invited to go to their customer area to make the change or to contact Customer Services to make the change. This change must be made no later than 10 days before the next direct debit due date.

3.4.2 - SUBSCRIPTION PROCESS

There are two steps to paying for the lease:

As soon as the contract is formed, the first instalment is debited from the Customer's bank card or via the payment method chosen by the Customer when the order was placed.
The amount of the rent is then payable monthly, in arrears, using the method of payment chosen by the Customer when the order was placed, without the need for prior notice.

a. Subscription validation

The subscription to the rental contract will only be considered accepted by the Supplier when the bank payment centre concerned has given its agreement and the Supplier has validated the subscription in the light of its own acceptance criteria.

The Customer is advised that the first payment does not constitute a deposit, but rather an increased first monthly instalment designed to ensure the Customer's commitment and to cover the costs of managing the file.

In the event of acceptance of the file by the payment centre and by the Supplier, the Customer will be informed by sending confirmation of dispatch of the order by e-mail.

Following validation of the subscription by the Customer, the contractual information relating to the said subscription (including in particular the order number) will be confirmed by e-mail in good time and at the latest at the time of delivery.

b. Refusal to subscribe

If the application is rejected despite validation of the payment, the subscription will be automatically rejected and the Customer will be informed by e-mail. Validation of the payment by the payment centre does not constitute payment but a bank authorisation. The first instalment will only be paid once the order has been dispatched.

If the order is not validated and therefore not dispatched, the bank authorisation is cancelled and no actual payment is made. The deletion of the bank imprint is subject to deadlines specific to each banking establishment and beyond the Supplier's control.

3.5 - RENTAL CONTRACT

3.5.1 FORMATION OF THE LEASE CONTRACT

The rental contract is deemed to be validly and definitively formed between the Parties as from the acceptance of the rental by the Supplier, which is evidenced by the sending of an e-mail confirming the validation of the order.

The Supplier strongly advises the Customer to print and/or archive this subscription/order confirmation on a reliable and durable medium as proof.

The rental contract takes effect and invoicing begins on the day the rented product(s) is (are) made available to the Customer, as evidenced by a delivery note, and ends when the contract is terminated (article 12).

3.5.2 COMPLETENESS CLAUSE

The contract consists of these General Terms and Conditions of Hire, the order validation and dispatch confirmation emails for the product(s) and the delivery note signed by the Customer.

It represents the entire agreement between the Supplier and the Customer.

3.5.3 - DURATION OF THE CONTRACT

The lease is for an indefinite period.

3.6 - PROOFING AND ARCHIVING :

The computerised registers, kept in the Supplier's computer systems under reasonable security conditions, will be considered as proof of the communications, contract/order subscriptions and payments made between the Parties.

Subscription/order forms and invoices are archived by the Supplier on a reliable and durable medium in such a way as to correspond to a true and durable copy in accordance with the provisions of Article 1379 of the French Civil Code.

3.7 - PRICE FIXING AND PAYMENT

3.7.1 - RENTAL COSTS

The rental cost is calculated according to the type of product rented. It corresponds to the cost shown on the online shop.

This amount is expressed in euros and includes all taxes. It includes the cost of processing, delivery, customer service and return, but excludes the right of withdrawal.
The monthly payments are fixed for the duration of the contract.

The Supplier reserves the right to modify its prices at any time, but undertakes to apply the prices in force when the contract is registered, subject to the availability of the products on that date.

No earlier than the date on which the contract is formed (see point 3.5.1), the Customer's bank account will therefore be debited as the first instalment. This initial payment will be supplemented by the purchase value of the accessory products offered for sale (article 5).

3.7.2 - LATE PAYMENT

Any delay in payment will result in the suspension of the application of the contractual services by the Supplier until the situation is regularised, in particular the customer service mentioned in articles 11 et seq. of these T&Cs.

In accordance with the provisions of Article 1217 of the French Civil Code, the Supplier reserves the right to terminate the contract following non-payment of three instalments, even non-consecutive instalments (see Article 12.3 Resolutive Clause).

Refusal to return the product or non-payment of the sums due may give rise to a dispute settlement procedure.

ARTICLE 4 - TRANSACTION SECURITY

Transactions carried out on the online shop by credit card are secured by the 3D-Secure (3DS) payment system in conjunction with the Customer's bank. All information exchanged to process the payment is encrypted using SSL protocol. This data cannot be detected, intercepted or used by third parties. The Supplier does not store this data on its computer systems.

3BS is a technical service provider, and does not handle disputes related to contract subscriptions. These must be settled directly with the Supplier and/or the Customer's bank.

The entry of bank card details is secured by the 3DS payment system. The Customer agrees to the use of his/her personal data to issue and store an electronic certificate for the purpose of signing a direct debit mandate online.

SECTION 5 - OPTIONAL PRODUCTS

In addition to the rental formula, the Supplier offers its Customers a certain number of products available for sale on its online shop.

The purchase of one or more of these products by the Customer implies acceptance of the Supplier's general terms and conditions of sale. These general terms and conditions of sale can be consulted on the https://lavie.bio website.

These accessory products are selected by the Supplier in connection with the equipment chosen by the Customer as part of its commitment.

ARTICLE 6 - AVAILABILITY OF PRODUCTS

6.1 - AVAILABILITY

Subscription offers including product categories and prices are valid as long as they are visible on the online shop site, and always subject to availability.

In accordance with article 3.1 hereof, if the product is unavailable after the subscription has been validated, the Customer will be informed of the period within which the product will be made available again, or will be offered another product with similar characteristics.

Customers who do not wish to wait for the replacement to be made available or who refuse the replacement proposal will be reimbursed for their deposit if their bank account has been debited, at the latest within thirty days of the effective date of payment.

6.2 - DELIVERY

6.2.1 - DELIVERY TERMS

Products may be delivered by a carrier appointed by the Supplier or by Chronopost/GLS, at the Customer's choice.

In the event of delivery by a carrier appointed by the Supplier, the product(s) covered by the rental contract will be delivered to the delivery address given at the time of subscription.

In the event of delivery by another means, the product(s) covered by the rental contract will be delivered to the Customer's home or to a relay point, in accordance with a procedure communicated to the Customer at the time the order is placed.

The Customer's attention is drawn to the fact that the telephone number or e-mail address are considered to be part of the delivery address, as they enable contact to be made with the Customer with a view to ensuring delivery.

6.2.2 - CHANGE OF ADDRESS

In the event of a change of delivery address between the subscription of the contract and the actual delivery of the product, this change must be communicated by the Customer to the Supplier. This change cancels the validation of the subscription. The Supplier may then request new supporting documents and/or refuse the order. In the event of validation by the Supplier, this agreement will trigger new delivery times.

If the Supplier accepts the change of delivery address, the date of validation of the change by the Supplier will then serve as the new subscription date.

6.2.3 - RELOCATION

In the event of moving house, the Customer is obliged to inform the Supplier within ten (10) working days, and to communicate the new address where the products will be located, in particular by updating the customer account linked to the rental contract. At the same time, the Customer undertakes to inform the Supplier of any change of address that may occur during the term of the contract.

In the event of moving outside the Supplier's service area, the service being provided exclusively in Metropolitan France excluding French overseas departments and territories, the Customer must inform the Supplier.

In this specific case, the contract will be terminated and the Customer will have to return the product.

The transport of products as part of a removal is not part of the contractual services. It is therefore carried out at the Customer's sole expense, and the Customer alone bears responsibility for it in the event of damage to products owned by the Supplier.

6.2.4 - DELIVERY DATE

The delivery date depends on the delivery method chosen by the Customer. The delivery time depends on the carrier.

If the Customer is absent when the Product is delivered on the date agreed with them, they will be invoiced for the cost of a new delivery.

The new delivery will only be made once this amount has been paid.

In the case of delivery by Chronopost, the product(s) covered by the rental contract will be delivered within a period determined by the service provider, who will inform the Customer.

Neither party shall be held liable to the other for any delay in delivery caused by the other party following the occurrence of a case of force majeure as usually recognised by the French courts.

The Supplier shall not be held responsible for any delay in delivery caused by the failure of the carrier.

6.2.5 - AVAILABILITY

In the event of delivery by a carrier appointed by the Supplier, upon delivery, the carrier appointed by the Supplier shall provide the Customer with a document entitled "Delivery Note" which contains at least the following information: the date on which the product is delivered; the delivery address; the condition of the product.

This document must be signed by the Customer. It certifies that the product delivered conforms to the contract, is in good condition and notifies the date and time of collection by the Customer.

Any reservations concerning the condition of the product must be mentioned on the appearance sheet or the delivery note and must be signed by both the Carrier and the Customer.

It is the Customer's responsibility to check at least the following information: the date on which the product is delivered, the delivery address and the condition of the product before accepting delivery. Once the delivery has been accepted, the product(s) are considered to have been delivered and to be in perfect condition; no returns will be accepted.

In accordance with article L.133-3 of the French Commercial Code, receipt of the Products transported extinguishes any action against the Carrier for damage or partial loss if, within three days, not including public holidays, following receipt, the Customer has not notified the Carrier, by extrajudicial act or by registered letter, of his justified protest.

The Customer is invited to send the Supplier a copy of the notification to the carrier when the latter has been chosen by the Supplier.

6.2.6 - TRANSFER OF RISKS

The fact that the Customer accepts receipt of the rented product(s) entails de facto transfer of the risks on the products. The Supplier remains the owner of the product(s) but strongly recommends that the Customer insures the product(s) with an insurance company.

6.2.7 - NO RECEPTION

In the event of non-conformity of the product or defective condition as assessed by the Customer :

The latter shall refuse the product to the Carrier if this condition is immediately assessed at the time of delivery,
The reasons for refusal must be stated on the delivery note,
The Customer is invited to notify the Supplier at the following address: contact@lavie.bio within 3 days of delivery with a copy of the signed delivery note.

The Supplier then undertakes to exchange any products that do not comply with the contract.

ARTICLE 7 - WITHDRAWAL

7.1 - DEADLINE/PRINCIPLE

From the date of delivery of the goods, and in accordance with the provisions of article L. 221-18 of the French Consumer Code, the Customer has a period of fourteen calendar days in which to exercise his right of withdrawal.

This withdrawal period begins to run from the date of receipt of the goods by the Customer (it being specified that the Customer retains this option prior to any receipt of the product).

Where the fourteen-day period expires on a Saturday, Sunday or public holiday, it is extended until the next working day.

The Customer undertakes to make the product(s) available in order to facilitate their return to the Supplier no later than 14 days following the sending of the withdrawal.

The goods will be returned under the same conditions as the delivery and in their original packaging. The cost of returning the goods shall be borne by the Customer and per product.

7.2 - IMPLEMENTATION

The Customer wishing to exercise his right of withdrawal is invited to complete and send the withdrawal form available in the appendix to this document, in PDF format, or to inform the Supplier of his wish to withdraw in an unambiguous statement, by post or by e-mail sent to the address contact@lavie.bio.

The Customer thus has a period of fourteen clear days, from the date of communication of his decision to withdraw in accordance with Article L221-21 of the Consumer Code, to pay the direct costs of returning the goods and to return the goods to the Supplier or to a person designated by him.

The Customer shall draw up, in the presence of the Supplier or its Carrier, a take-back report recording the physical condition of the product on this date.

This statement is signed by each of the parties. By way of proof, it shall specify the date of return of the product(s) covered by the rental and the date of transfer of risks.

If the Customer fails to pay the return costs and/or fails to make the goods available to the Supplier within this period despite several offers of slots from the carrier, the Customer may be invoiced for the new purchase value of the product as indicated in the online shop.

If the Customer exercises his right of withdrawal, his bank account will be credited with the amount of the first instalment paid within a maximum period of fourteen days following the date on which the right of withdrawal was exercised. This reimbursement will be made subject to the effective recovery of the goods by the Supplier.

The right of withdrawal is exercised without penalty, with the exception of the cost of returning the goods.

The Customer may be held liable in the event of depreciation of the product(s) resulting from handling other than that necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and proper functioning of the product(s).

ARTICLE 8 - CONDITIONS OF USE

8.1 - USE/MAINTENANCE

Throughout the duration of the subscription, the Customer must use the Product under normal conditions of use and maintain it in good working order, in particular by using maintenance products recommended by the manufacturer. The Customer undertakes to inform the Supplier immediately of any anomaly observed in the Products. Any repair costs resulting from a lack of maintenance will be borne by the Customer.

After-sales service is provided exclusively by the Supplier.

The Customer shall refrain from opening, modifying or repairing any equipment by his own means.

Failure to comply with this prohibition shall constitute a breach of the Customer's contractual obligations which may result in the termination of the contract at the Supplier's initiative and to the exclusive detriment of the Customer.

8.2 - SUBLETTING OR SALE OF THE PRODUCT

The Customer is hereby informed that the Supplier is formally opposed to any subletting or divestment by the Customer of the property which is the subject of the lease.

The sub-letting of the product which is the subject of the hire, its making available, and even more so its sale by the Customer for the benefit of a third party, or its exchange for another product, are formally prohibited and contrary to the provisions and spirit of the contract, and may give rise to a claim for compensation for the loss suffered by the Supplier.

8.3 - ACCESSORIES

The products can be supplied with accessories (electrical connection cable, La Fontaine product tank, etc.).

All accessories must be returned in good condition with the associated product at the end of the contract or as part of a repair by Customer Services.

In the event of non-return, loss or damage to non-warranted accessories, these will be invoiced to the Customer at the rate in force on the day the contract was concluded.

ARTICLE 10 - LIABILITY

10.1 - INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THE ONLINE SHOP

The Supplier endeavours to ensure, to the best of its ability, that the information published in the online shop is accurate and up-to-date, and reserves the right to modify this information at any time and without prior notice. However, it cannot guarantee the accuracy, precision or completeness of the information appearing in the online shop.

The Supplier shall not be held liable for hypertext links to other resources on the Internet. Indeed, the Supplier has no means of controlling the Sites connected to its Site, of which the Customer is hereby expressly informed. Consequently, the risks associated with such use shall be borne entirely by the Customer.

Similarly, the photographs and texts reproduced and illustrating the Products presented are not contractual. Consequently, the Supplier may not be held liable in the event of an error in one of these photographs or texts.

The Customer is asked to familiarise himself/herself with the technical characteristics and appearance of the products offered before subscribing to the subscription contract, as these alone are decisive for the Customer's acceptance of the offer.

10.2. USE OF THE ONLINE SHOP

Use of and browsing in the online shop are under the Customer's responsibility. The Supplier declines all responsibility and may not be held liable for any damage or viruses that may affect computer equipment or any other material when accessing the Site, using the Site or browsing the online shop, or downloading any content, data, text, images or files from the Site.

10.3. COMPLIANCE

The Supplier markets UV-A water purification systems.

The Supplier declares that it markets products that comply with the applicable French and European regulations in force on the date of delivery of the products.

The Supplier declares that it complies with the waste treatment obligations set out in Law no. 2020-105 of 10 February 2020 on the fight against waste and the circular economy and that it is a member of an eco-organisation.

10.4 - INSTRUCTIONS AND PRECAUTIONS FOR USE

The Supplier shall enclose an electronic version of the instructions for use with any product ordered by the Customer, by means of a direct Internet link to the following address: https://lavie.bio/notice/

It is essential that the Customer reads and complies with the Instructions for Use before using the products delivered.

The information provided on the products marketed is for information purposes only. Under no circumstances shall it constitute medical information or incur the Supplier's liability.

The Supplier declines all responsibility and may not be held liable for any damage caused to the Customer or to a third party as a result of the Product not being used for its intended purpose.

The total or partial impossibility of using products due to hardware incompatibility shall not give rise to any compensation or reimbursement whatsoever and shall not incur the Supplier's liability.

10.5 - CONDITIONS OF USE OF PRODUCTS

The Hiring Customer does not acquire any right of ownership over all or part of the product. These remain the property of the Supplier, whether or not they have been invoiced to the Customer. The same applies to replaced parts and sub-assemblies.

Once the products have been handed over, the risks of legal custody of the products are transferred and the Customer is liable in the event of theft or loss and for any damage caused by the use or possession of the products, until they are returned, with the exception of any damage resulting from a fault on the part of the product or the lessor.

10.5.1 - LOSS OR DAMAGE AFFECTING THE RENTAL PROPERTY

a. Damage attributable to the customer

The Customer assumes full responsibility for this custody and undertakes to take all necessary care and diligence not to damage the rented products and to take all necessary precautions with regard to their use.

This liability refers to any event for which it is responsible (negligence, fault, imprudence, etc.) and which occurs during its ownership and use, whether or not it is covered by insurance guaranteeing its liability to third parties.

Its liability shall extend to the consequences of events that arise during the period of ownership and use but whose harmful consequences only become apparent after the product has been returned to the Supplier.

b. Damage not attributable to the customer

In the event of deterioration, alteration or destruction of the product following the occurrence of an external event beyond the Customer's control (force majeure, act of a third party, etc.), the Customer shall reimburse the Supplier the amount of compensation received by its insurance for the rented product, insofar as the Customer is in no way the owner of the item but has custody of it.

The Supplier urges each Customer to take out any insurance likely to guarantee the protection of its interests. In the event of failure to take out such insurance, the Customer alone shall be liable for any financial loss to the Supplier.

The Customer undertakes to ensure that the Supplier's property rights are respected at all times and at its own expense.

10.5.2 - SEIZURE OF THE LEASED PROPERTY

In the event that the goods are subject to seizure, with or without removal, the Customer undertakes to notify the Supplier without delay and to take all steps to ensure that the seizure is declared null and void and that the Supplier is reinstated in the rights attached to its property.

If it has not been possible to lift this seizure for nullity within 7 days, the contract will then be terminated by operation of law to the exclusive detriment of the Customer, who will remain obliged to pay the Supplier a sum equivalent to the value of the product if it has not been recovered by the Supplier.

The Customer shall also be liable for the Supplier to claim from it all the costs of proceedings incurred with a view to having its property rights restored.

10.6 - CUSTOMER LIABILITY

The Customer is advised that he/she may not use the equipment hired for any purpose other than that for which it is intended, nor may he/she infringe the common sense safety rules that apply to it.

If the product cannot be repaired, the Customer shall owe the Supplier the full value of the product.

In addition, the Customer is also liable for any logistical costs incurred as a result of the incident.

In all cases, the Customer undertakes to return the rented product(s) to the Supplier in good physical and working condition at the end of the rental period.

If, when the product is taken back, it is found to be in breach of this obligation, any resulting repair costs will be billed to the Customer, as detailed in article 13.2 hereof.

In the event of theft of the rented product, the Customer must inform the Supplier as soon as possible.

It is the Customer's responsibility to lodge a complaint with the Police or Gendarmerie and to file a claim with their insurance company.

The said complaint, as well as all the elements opened with the insurance company (entity, file number, contact person, telephone numbers, etc.) must be sent to the Supplier either by post or electronically.

The Supplier will then contact the aforementioned insurance company and will be responsible for sending it all the information required for compensation.

A new product will be sent to the Customer once the Supplier has been compensated for the damage caused by the theft of the product(s).

The Customer is advised that throughout the duration of this procedure, the rental contract will not be suspended or terminated and that monthly payments will continue to be taken as normal.

Furthermore, the Supplier may not be held liable for the Customer's insurance company correctly paying compensation for the product(s) or for the time taken to pay compensation, unless this refusal to pay compensation was the result of a lack of diligence on the part of the Supplier.

In the event that the insurance company does not pay compensation, the Customer will then owe the Supplier the full value of the product.

For all intents and purposes, the Customer is reminded that as he/she is not the owner of the rental property but only has legal custody of it, he/she is prohibited from disposing of it in any way whatsoever.

Failing this, the Customer will be liable for full reimbursement of the value of the product, notwithstanding any criminal proceedings which the Supplier reserves the right to take.

As a reminder, the Customer is responsible for the confidentiality of his or her account, password, access restrictions to his or her computer and other equipment, and to the extent permitted by applicable law, agrees to accept responsibility for all activities that occur under his or her account or password. The Customer undertakes to take all necessary steps to ensure that his/her password remains confidential and secure.

The Customer is responsible for the validity and completeness of the information provided to the Supplier, and undertakes to contact the company in the event of any change in this information.

ARTICLE 11 - SERVICES AND GUARANTEES INCLUDED IN THE RENTAL CONTRACT

The Supplier is liable for defects in the conformity of the Product under the conditions set out in Articles 1720 and 1721 of the French Civil Code.

The Customer is obliged to deliver the Product in a good state of repair of all kinds and must carry out, during the rental period, all repairs that may become necessary, other than rental repairs.

The Supplier guarantees the Customer for all defects or faults in the Product which prevent its use and is obliged to compensate the Customer for the consequences of these defects or faults.

11.2 SERVICES

In addition to the provision of the product covered by the contract, the rental contract includes a set of services, the nature and scope of which are described below:

Delivery and return of product(s)in accordance with the provisions of articles 6.2 and 13 of these T&Cs.
Customer Service :

In the event of a breakdown of the product, understood as damage affecting its correct operation and originating from an internal phenomenon, the Customer shall contact the Supplier's Customer Service via the email address contact@lavie.bio. In the event of a breakdown, the Supplier will also take charge of the accessories required for the use of the main product, for the entire duration of the rental of the product.

After confirmation of the fault by the Supplier's technical services, the product will be repaired or replaced with a new product of the same reference, or a reconditioned product of the same reference, at the Supplier's discretion.

The Customer undertakes not to carry out the repairs himself and to comply with the instructions given by the Supplier. Failure to do so will render the guarantee offered by the Supplier unenforceable against the Customer.

In the event of repair in the workshop, the products will be taken in charge by expressiste to be sent to a technical station or a prepaid label will be made available to the Customer to send their product to the repair station.

An assessment will be carried out by the Supplier's technical department and repairs carried out by the Supplier if necessary.

For any mode of service, in the event of repair time exceeding 14 days or irreparability of the product and provided that the Customer has done everything possible to make repairs possible, an exchange will be made for an identical product (with the same technical characteristics). The colour of the product does not form part of its technical characteristics.

Throughout the period of intervention by Customer Services, the Customer undertakes to respond to the Supplier's requests within a period of one month, failing which the file will be automatically closed.

11.3 - EXCLUSIONS AND LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY

The Supplier may not be held liable in the event of abnormal use or use of the Product in conditions other than those for which it was manufactured, or use that does not comply with the instructions for use and the precautions for use communicated by the Supplier.

Nor shall it be held liable in the event of negligence or lack of maintenance on the part of the Customer, or in the event of failure to comply with the associated safety and common sense rules.

If the product is not returned, the Customer is advised that he/she will owe the Supplier a flat-rate compensation corresponding to a multiplier applied to the first payment made at the time of subscription, equivalent to twelve (12) times the amount of the first payment.

This amount may be deducted by the Supplier after a period of fifteen days following the end of the contract. The deduction of this indemnity will constitute a fixed and definitive balance for the face value of the product not returned.

In the event of non-performance by the Customer of any of its obligations under this contract, and in particular in the event of non-payment of the rent, the contract shall be terminated automatically and without any formality if the Supplier sees fit, 15 days after the notification of a formal notice by registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt which has remained totally or partially without effect in accordance with the provisions of articles 1219 and 1226 of the Civil Code, unless this contractual non-performance is due to force majeure within the meaning of article 1218 of the Civil Code and assessed as such by case law.

In this event, the Customer must immediately return the Product(s) to the Supplier at his own expense. The Supplier reserves the right to initiate early recovery of the rented Products.

In addition, the Customer shall remain liable for any unpaid rents that have fallen due and, by way of compensation, for a lump sum equivalent to twelve (12) times the amount of the first rent not increased.

The Hirer, who no longer has the right to use the equipment, remains responsible for it until it is returned and becomes its depositary within the meaning of article 1915 of the Civil Code.

The Supplier reserves the right to use the service provider of its choice to collect its debts.

12.4 - UNILATERAL TERMINATION DUE TO A CHANGE IN REGULATIONS

In the event of any new regulation requiring the leased product to comply with new regulatory requirements, the Supplier reserves the right to unilaterally terminate the leasing contract, ipso jure and with immediate effect, without any financial repercussions for the Customer.

Subject to the mandatory rules of law relating to prescription, the fact that one of the parties does not exercise a right or remedy at the time when it would be entitled to do so, or if it exercises it only partially or with irregularity or delay, shall not be deemed to constitute a waiver of that right or remedy.
