These contractual provisions apply exclusively to any contract for the purchase of SOLABLES products concluded by a non-professional buyer. These GCS represent the entire agreement between the parties.
All orders imply unreserved acceptance of the GTCS. Acceptance by the Customer is achieved by the signature of the purchaser so that this constitutes a firm and definitive sale subject to its acceptance by the Seller.
The GTCS take precedence over any other document exchanged between the parties, regardless of when this document may have been brought to the attention of the Seller. Any special condition derogating from or adding to the GTCS must be accepted in writing by the Seller in advance.
The Vendor reserves the right to modify these general terms and conditions of sale at any time, in particular to bring them into line with applicable legal provisions. However, the general terms and conditions of sale applicable when an order is placed are those in force at the time the order is signed by the Customer.

ARTICLE 2. GENERAL PRINCIPLES
These General Terms and Conditions of Sale set out the terms and conditions of sales in a shop or online between the Seller and any customer.
They are written in French in their original version, which alone is authentic and prevails over any other version.
These General Terms and Conditions of Sale apply to the exclusion of all other conditions. They are accessible by the Customer on the online Boutique at all times and are systematically submitted to the Customer before any order is placed and when the order is registered.
When a Customer Account is opened on the Online Boutique, clicking on the "I accept the General Terms and Conditions of Sale" button indicates the Customer's consent to the application of these General Terms and Conditions of Sale.
When a Product is purchased on the premises, the signature on the order form and the tick before the paragraph "I have read and accept the General Terms and Conditions of Sale" indicates the Customer's consent to the application of these General Terms and Conditions of Sale.
The Customer declares that he/she is aware of the following provisions before placing an order for Products.
Consequently, placing an order implies the Customer's full and unreserved acceptance of these General Terms and Conditions of Sale.
A printed version of the General Terms and Conditions of Sale as well as any information sent by electronic means will be admitted in any legal proceedings concerning the application of these General Terms and Conditions of Sale in the same way and under the same conditions as any other written document kept in paper format.
The fact of not exercising, at any time, a prerogative recognised by the present General Terms and Conditions of Sale, or of not requiring the application of any stipulation of the agreement resulting from the said Terms and Conditions may not under any circumstances be interpreted, either as a modification of the contract, or as an express or tacit waiver of the right to exercise the said prerogative in the future, or of the right to require the scrupulous performance of the commitments entered into herein.
Should any of the terms of the General Terms and Conditions of Sale be considered illegal or unenforceable by a court decision, the other provisions will remain in force.
Modification of the online General Terms and Conditions of Sale
In view of possible changes to the Site, the Vendor reserves the right to adapt or modify these General Terms and Conditions of Sale at any time. Consequently, the Vendor invites the Customer to consult the General Terms and Conditions of Sale before placing any new order. The General Terms and Conditions of Sale then in force will be applicable to all orders placed from the date they are placed online.
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 5. PRODUCT PURCHASE PROCEDURE
5.1 On-site ordering
The Customer shall purchase Products by issuing Orders which the Seller shall hand over to the Customer at the time of the Customer's visit.
The sale shall not be deemed final until the Vendor has accepted the Order, sent a copy of the Order to the Customer and the Vendor has received payment for the Products in full.
The General Terms and Conditions of Sale and the Orders form an indivisible whole. In any event, the General Terms and Conditions of Sale do not constitute an order or an obligation on the part of the Customer to order Products.
If the product ordered is unavailable, the Vendor will offer the Customer, who must agree, the supply of an equivalent product to replace the product ordered.
If the Customer does not agree, the unavailability of the product ordered will result in the cancellation of the order and the reimbursement of the Customer.
5.2 Ordering via the online shop
The Customer purchases Products from the Seller's online catalogue by logging on to the Lavie Shop website and following the instructions displayed.
The sale and acceptance of these General Terms and Conditions of Sale are considered validated when the purchase is confirmed on the online shop.

In the event of payment by bank transfer, the Vendor reserves the right to cancel the Customer's order if the bank transfer has not been received within 5 days from the date of the order.

ARTICLE 14. GUARANTEES
The Customer benefits from the legal guarantee of conformity (articles L. 217-3 to L. 217-20 of the French Consumer Code) and the legal guarantee relating to defects in the goods sold (articles 1641 to 1648 of the French Civil Code).
14.1 Warranty of conformity
Article L. 217-3 of the French Consumer Code :
The seller shall deliver a property that complies with the contract and the criteria set out in article L. 217-5.
He is liable for any lack of conformity that existed at the time of delivery of the goods within the meaning of Article L. 216-1, and which becomes apparent within two years of delivery.
In the case of a contract for the sale of goods containing digital elements :
- Where the contract provides for the continuous supply of digital content or a digital service for a period of two years or less, or where the contract does not specify the duration of the supply, the seller shall be liable for any lack of conformity of the digital content or digital service which becomes apparent within two years of delivery of the goods;
- Where the contract provides for the continuous supply of digital content or a digital service for a period of more than two years, the seller shall be liable for any lack of conformity of the digital content or digital service that arises during the period in which it is supplied under the contract.
For such goods, the applicable time limit does not deprive the consumer of his right to updates in accordance with the provisions of article L. 217-19.
The seller shall also be liable, for the same period, for any lack of conformity resulting from the packaging, the assembly instructions or the installation, where the latter was his responsibility under the contract or was carried out under his responsibility, or where the incorrect installation, carried out by the consumer as provided for in the contract, is due to shortcomings or errors in the installation instructions supplied by the seller.
This guarantee period applies without prejudice to articles 2224 et seq. of the Civil Code. The starting point of the limitation period for the consumer's action is the day on which the consumer becomes aware of the lack of conformity.
Article L. 217-4 of the French Consumer Code :
The property conforms to the contract if it meets the following criteria, where applicable:
- It corresponds to the description, type, quantity and quality, in particular as regards functionality, compatibility, interoperability or any other characteristic provided for in the contract;
- It is fit for any special purpose intended by the consumer, made known to the seller no later than the time of conclusion of the contract and accepted by the latter;
- It is supplied with all accessories and installation instructions, which must be supplied in accordance with the contract;

Article L. 217-7 of the French Consumer Code :
Defects in conformity which appear within twenty-four months of delivery of the goods, including goods containing digital elements, shall, in the absence of proof to the contrary, be presumed to have existed at the time of delivery, unless this presumption is incompatible with the nature of the goods or of the defect claimed.
For second-hand goods, this period is set at twelve months.
Where the contract for the sale of goods with digital components provides for the continuous supply of digital content or a digital service, any lack of conformity which appears at the time of delivery of the goods shall be presumed to exist:
- For a period of two years from delivery of the goods, where the contract provides for the goods to be supplied for a period of two years or less, or where the contract does not specify the period for which the goods are to be supplied;
- During the period in which the digital content or digital service is provided under the contract, where the contract provides for such provision for a period of more than two years.
Article L. 217-13 of the French Consumer Code :
Any goods repaired under the legal guarantee of conformity benefit from a six-month extension of this guarantee.
If the consumer chooses to have the goods repaired but this is not done by the seller, bringing the goods into conformity by replacing them starts a new period of the legal guarantee of conformity for the replaced goods. This provision applies from the day on which the replacement goods are delivered to the consumer.
14.2 Warranty against hidden defects
Article 1641 of the Civil Code:
The Seller is liable for any hidden defects in the goods sold which render them unfit for their intended use, or which impair that use to such an extent that the buyer would not have purchased them, or would have paid a lower price for them, had he or she been aware of them.
Article 1648 paragraph 1 of the Civil Code :
Any action arising from redhibitory defects must be brought by the purchaser within two years of discovery of the defect.
14.3 Commercial guarantees
14.3.1 Extended warranty
The Seller offers a free one-year extension to the legal warranty period. In order to benefit from this, the Customer undertakes to register his/her details on the Seller's commercial information distribution list.

14.3.2 30-day money-back guarantee
As part of the purchase via the online shop, the Seller offers a "satisfied or reimbursed" guarantee for a period of thirty (30) days from the date of delivery.
This guarantee allows the Customer to return the Product purchased, without justification, against reimbursement of the amount of the price of the Product, excluding postage and return costs.
The product must be returned in new condition, in its original packaging and with all accessories included.
14.4 Exclusions
The guarantee does not apply to apparent defects.
Also excluded are defects and deterioration caused by natural wear and tear or by an external accident, by any modification of the product not foreseen or specified by the Seller, by its abnormal use, by its use in conditions other than those for which it was manufactured, in particular in conditions not prescribed by the manufacturer or the Seller.
