ARTICLE 2 - PURPOSE

The purpose of the General Terms and Conditions is to define the contractual relationship between La Romaine Editions and the Customer and the conditions applicable to all purchases made through the Site, to the exclusion of other sales, notably in stores, which are governed by the relevant general terms and conditions.

The buyer is clearly informed and acknowledges that the Site is intended for consumers and that professionals must contact the sales department of La Romaine Editions in order to benefit from distinct contractual conditions at the following email address: [email protected]

The acquisition of a product through the present site implies unreserved acceptance by the Customer of the GTC, which the Customer acknowledges having read prior to placing an order. Prior to any transaction, the Customer declares on the one hand that the purchase of Products on the Site is not directly related to his/her professional activity and is limited to strictly personal use, and on the other hand that he/she has full legal capacity, enabling him/her to commit himself/herself under the GTCS.

La Romaine Editions reserves the right to modify these terms and conditions at any time, in order to comply with new regulations or to improve the use of its site. Consequently, the applicable terms and conditions will be those in force at the date of the buyer's order.

ARTICLE 3 - ACCEPTANCE OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS

The Customer undertakes to read the GCS carefully and to accept them by ticking the box reserved for this acceptance and marking the Customer's consent to the GCS, before proceeding with the payment of an order for Products placed on the Site.

The General Terms and Conditions are referenced at the bottom of each page of the Site by means of a link and must be consulted before placing an order. The Customer is invited to carefully read, download and print the General Terms and Conditions, and to keep a copy.

La Romaine Editions advises the Customer to read the General Terms and Conditions with each new order, as the latest version of these Terms and Conditions applies to all new orders for Products.

ARTICLE 4 - PRODUCT ORDERS

4.1 Products
The Products sold by La Romaine Editions comply with current French regulations and are sold while stocks last. They are described as precisely as possible (product sheets, photographs, etc.). Nevertheless, the Customer is invited to contact La Romaine Editions' customer service department to obtain any useful clarification.

In case of stock depletion, La Romaine Editions will make every effort to indicate this clearly and to make the purchase of the Product concerned impossible. It is possible that a product ordered is no longer available.

In the event of unavailability, La Romaine Editions may, at the Customer's request :

  • Or offer to ship all Products at the same time as soon as out-of-stock Products become available again,
  • Or proceed with a partial shipment of the available Products initially, then with the shipment of the remainder of the order when the other Products are available, subject to clear information concerning the additional transport costs that may be incurred,
  • Or propose an alternative Product of equivalent quality and price, accepted by the Customer.

If the Customer decides to cancel his/her order for unavailable Products, he/she will be reimbursed for all sums paid for the unavailable Products no later than fourteen (14) days following the date on which the Customer decided to cancel his/her order.

4.2 Ordering
Product orders are placed directly on the Site. To place an order, the Customer must follow the steps described below (please note, however, that depending on the Customer's start page, the steps may differ slightly).

4.2.1. Product selection
The Customer must select the Product(s) of his/her choice by clicking on the Product(s) concerned and choosing the desired quantities. Once the Product has been selected, it is placed in the Customer's basket. The Customer may then add as many Products as he or she wishes.

A summary of the order is then displayed (product reference, quantities, unit price, price including VAT, etc.) so that the customer can modify the order if necessary.

On this occasion, La Romaine Editions informs the customer of the authorized means of payment, the terms of delivery and the right to return the products ordered within 14 days of the date of delivery.

The Customer is invited to check the contents of his/her order (including the quantity, characteristics and references of the Products ordered, the billing address, the means of payment and the price).

4.2.3. Payment and order confirmation
Once the content of the order has been verified, the Customer (i) is informed that his/her order implies an obligation to pay and that the personal data required to process his/her order and the GTC are collected by La Romaine Editions, (ii) chooses a method of payment from those offered, (iii) accepts the GTC and (iv) proceeds with payment. The Customer may also (v) choose whether or not personal data concerning him/her is collected and processed by La Romaine Editions under the conditions of article 11.

4.2.4. Acknowledgement of receipt
Once the order has been paid for, a confirmation message summarizing the essential characteristics of the order and containing (or allowing the Customer to download or print) the General Terms and Conditions of Sale is sent to the Customer (failing this, the Customer is invited to contact La Romaine Editions customer service).

La Romaine Editions reserves the right to refuse an order. In this case, La Romaine Editions will inform the customer as soon as possible, giving the reasons for the refusal, and will reimburse the customer in full within 14 days of the order being placed.

ARTICLE 5 - PRICES

Product prices are quoted in euros, inclusive of all French taxes (French VAT and other applicable taxes) and exclusive of delivery charges, which are notified to the Customer when the order is placed. In the event of a change in the VAT rate, the price will be automatically modified without prior notice other than the date on which the new rate becomes payable. For orders exempt from VAT, the provisions of the French General Tax Code will apply.

The prices indicated on the Site are subject to change. They may also be modified in the event of special offers or sales.

The prices indicated are valid, except for gross errors. The applicable price is that indicated on the Site on the date the order is placed by the Customer.

Price reductions are established in relation to reference prices, which generally correspond to prices offered to regular customers outside the reduction period in question.

ARTICLE 6 - PAYMENT

6.1. Payment methods
The Customer may pay for his Products online on the Site using the methods proposed by La Romaine Editions.

The Customer guarantees La Romaine Editions that he/she holds all the authorizations required to use the chosen method of payment.

La Romaine Editions will take all necessary measures to guarantee the security and confidentiality of data transmitted online as part of online payment on the Site.

It is hereby specified that all payment information provided on the Site is transmitted to the Site's bank and is not processed on the Site.

6.2 Delay or refusal of payment
If the bank refuses to debit a card or other means of payment, the Customer must contact La Romaine Editions customer service in order to pay for the order by any other valid means of payment.

In the event that, for any reason whatsoever, opposition, refusal or other, the transmission of the flow of money due by the Customer proves impossible, the order will be cancelled and the sale automatically terminated.

Products ordered remain the property of La Romaine Editions until full payment has been received.

ARTICLE 7 - DELIVERY

The Products offered can only be delivered to the Territories mentioned in Article 1. It is impossible to place an order for any delivery address outside these Territories.

When placing an order, customers are invited to choose from the delivery methods offered by La Romaine Editions.

Products are shipped to the delivery address(es) indicated by the Customer during the order process. The carrier may contact the Customer to inform him of a delivery date and/or to make an appointment for such a date.

La Romaine Editions will notify the customer of the dispatch of any order by e-mail, so that the customer can track the progress of the order. Delivery will be deemed to have taken place when the Customer or a third party designated by the Customer, other than the carrier proposed by La Romaine Editions, takes physical possession of the product.

Delivery charges are indicated in € and are payable by the Customer. These costs may vary according to the weight, volume and nature of the Products, as well as the carrier, delivery method and place of delivery. Customers are notified of delivery costs when they place their order.

For customers located outside the European Union, customs charges may apply in accordance with current regulations. Customs duties are the responsibility of the customer. It is therefore the customer's responsibility to check with his local customs office to determine the amount.

Customs clearance may extend delivery times.

As a general rule, delivery times are between 5 and 7 working days for metropolitan France, Corsica and Monaco, and 7 to 12 days outside these territories. However, please note that these delivery times are purely indicative and are not binding on La Romaine Editions. The delivery of several Products from the same order may be fragmented (the Customer will be informed by email).

In the event of a delay in delivery of more than 30 days, the Customer may cancel the order by registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt, or in writing on another durable medium addressed to the customer service department of La Romaine Editions, if, after having enjoined La Romaine Editions, by the same means, to make the delivery or provide the service within a reasonable additional period, La Romaine Editions has not complied within this period. In such a case, the order will be considered as cancelled upon receipt by La Romaine Editions of the letter or writing informing it of the cancellation, unless La Romaine Editions has performed in the meantime. In the event of cancellation of an order in the aforementioned manner, La Romaine Editions will reimburse the customer for all sums paid, no later than 14 days following the date of cancellation.

Any apparent anomaly concerning an order (number of units, condition of packaging, etc.) must be precisely indicated (detailed description of the anomaly) by the customer on the carrier's delivery slip, in the presence of the carrier. The customer must immediately inform La Romaine Editions, providing any useful evidence (photograph, description of the anomaly, etc.). An apparent anomaly is defined as any anomaly that would normally be detected by a normally attentive and informed consumer. Failing this, the products will be deemed to have been delivered free of any apparent anomaly. It is therefore the Customer's responsibility to preserve his rights vis-à-vis the carrier under the conditions set out in article L.133-3 of the French Commercial Code (motivated confirmation of the anomaly to the carrier by sending a registered letter within 3 days, not including public holidays, following receipt of the products concerned.

ARTICLE 8 - WARRANTIES

All Products benefit from the legal guarantee of conformity (as defined in articles L217-4 et seq. of the French Consumer Code) and the guarantee against hidden defects (as defined in articles 1641 et seq. of the French Civil Code), allowing the Customer to return defective or non-compliant Products free of charge.

When acting under the legal warranty of conformity, Customers :

  • You have 2 years from the date of delivery to take action;
  • May choose between repair or replacement of the good, subject to the cost conditions stipulated in Article L.217-9 of the French Consumer Code;
  • Are exempted from proving the existence of the lack of conformity of the good during the 24 months following the delivery of a new good and the 6 months following the delivery of a second-hand good.

We also remind you that :

  • The legal warranty of conformity applies independently of any commercial warranty that may have been granted;
  • Customers may decide to invoke the warranty against hidden defects in the item sold provided for in article 1641 of the French Civil Code, and may thus choose between rescission of the sale or a reduction in the sale price in accordance with article 1644 of the French Civil Code.

8.1. Legal warranty of conformity - reminder of legal texts
Article L.217-4 of the French Consumer Code: The seller 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 liable for any lack of conformity resulting from the packaging, assembly instructions or installation, when the latter is his responsibility under the contract or was carried out under his responsibility.

Article L.217-5 of the French Consumer Code: To conform to the contract, the good must :

1/ Be fit for the use ordinarily expected of similar goods and, where applicable :

  • correspond to the description given by the seller and possess the qualities that the seller has presented to the buyer in the form of a sample or model;
  • have the qualities that a purchaser may legitimately expect in the light of public statements made by the seller, the producer or his representative, particularly in advertising or labelling.

2/ Or present the characteristics defined by mutual agreement between the parties or be suitable for any special use sought by the buyer, brought to the attention of the seller and accepted by the latter.

Any action resulting from a lack of conformity must be brought within two (2) years of delivery of the Product (Article L.217-7 of the French Consumer Code).

Article L.217-9 of the French Consumer Code: In the event of a lack of conformity, the buyer may choose between repair and replacement. However, the seller may not proceed according to the buyer's choice if this choice entails a cost that is manifestly disproportionate to the other method, taking into account the value of the good or the importance of the defect. In this case, the seller is obliged to proceed according to the method not chosen by the buyer, unless this is impossible.

Article L.217-10 of the French Consumer Code:

If repair and replacement are impossible, the buyer can return the goods and have the price refunded, or keep the goods and have part of the price refunded.

The same option is available to him:

1/ If the solution requested, proposed or agreed under article L. 217-9 cannot be implemented within one month of the buyer's complaint;

2/ Or if this solution cannot be found without major inconvenience for the customer, given the nature of the good and the use he is seeking.

However, the sale cannot be rescinded if the lack of conformity is minor.

8.2. Warranty against latent defects - reminder of legal texts
Article 1641 of the French Civil Code: The seller is bound by the warranty for latent defects in the item sold which render it unfit for the use for which it was intended, or which diminish this use to such an extent that the buyer would not have acquired it, or would have paid a lesser price for it, had he been aware of them.

Article 1642 of the French Civil Code: The seller is not liable for apparent defects of which the buyer has been able to convince himself.

Article 1644 of the Civil Code: In the case of articles 1641 and 1643, the buyer has the choice of returning the item and having the price refunded, or keeping the item and having part of the price refunded.

Article 1646 of the French Civil Code: If the seller was unaware of the defects, he will only be obliged to refund the purchase price and reimburse the buyer for any costs incurred by the sale.

Article 1648 paragraph 1 of the French Civil Code: The action resulting from redhibitory defects must be brought by the purchaser within two years of discovery of the defect. 

8.3. Exclusion of warranties
Products modified, repaired, integrated or added by the customer are excluded from the warranty.

The warranty does not cover visible defects. The warranty does not cover products damaged in transit or due to misuse.

8.4 Implementation of warranties
In the event of non-conformity or hidden defect of the Product, the Customer is required to address his complaint to the customer service department of La Romaine Editions. The exercise of these warranties is free of charge for the Customer, in accordance with article L.217-11 of the French Consumer Code, provided that the Customer is entitled to claim the benefit of these warranties.

The Customer is hereby informed that :

  • He has a period of two years from the delivery of the property to take action;
  • He may choose between repairing or replacing the good, subject to the cost conditions set out in Article L217-9 of the French Consumer Code;
  • The purchaser is exempt from proving the existence of a lack of conformity for the full duration of the legal warranty, i.e. 2 years following delivery of the goods.

La Romaine Editions regularly carries out tests on the conformity of the products sold and the proof of conformity of the batches analysed, which are kept on the premises of La Romaine Editions, may, if necessary, be used against Customers.

In the event that La Romaine Editions finds that the legal guarantee of conformity or hidden defects has been abused or used in bad faith (abnormally high frequency of use, product returned not corresponding to the product purchased, product returned late and in a clearly depreciated condition, non-conformity of a product which is clearly the result of inappropriate use by the Customer, etc.), La Romaine Editions reserves the right to give the Customer formal notice to present, within eight (8) days, its observations on the alleged grievance. In the absence of a reply, or in the absence of a satisfactory reply, La Romaine Editions reserves the right to invoice the Customer for compensation proportional to the management costs incurred in dealing with an abusive request or a request made in bad faith.

ARTICLE 9 - WITHDRAWAL

9.1 Right of withdrawal
In accordance with article L. 221-18 of the French Consumer Code, the Customer has a period of 14 (fourteen) days from the date of receipt of the Products ordered to exercise his legal right of withdrawal without having to give reasons for his decision.

La Romaine Editions cannot under any circumstances be required to verify the legal capacity of its visitors and Customers. Consequently, if a person who does not have legal capacity orders items on the Site, their legal guardians (parents, guardians, etc.) assume full responsibility for this order and must pay the price.

La Romaine Editions shall not be held liable for any breach of its obligations under the GTCS if such breach is attributable to the act of a third party, even if foreseeable, to the fault of the Customer, or to the occurrence of an event of force majeure as defined by the French courts, or to any other event that was not reasonably under the exclusive control of La Romaine Editions.

The information available on the Site is provided "as is" without warranty of any kind, either implied or express, including, but not limited to, the completeness, accuracy, timeliness, non-infringement, availability, reliability or completeness of the information, products, accessories or services appearing on the Site, or their suitability for the use intended by the Customer.

La Romaine Editions declines all responsibility for direct or indirect damage, whether foreseeable or not, caused by the use of the Site. Should La Romaine Editions be held liable for any damage suffered by the customer and attributable exclusively to the placing of an order, such liability shall be limited to the amount of the order paid by the customer.

Any claim filed by a user, including any Customer, against La Romaine Editions must be filed within 6 months of the occurrence of the event that is the subject of the claim.

ARTICLE 14 - MEDIATION 

In the event that a dispute cannot be resolved directly between the parties, the customer is informed that he/she has the right to have recourse, free of charge, to a consumer mediator with a view to the amicable resolution of his/her dispute, after having read the information published on the mediator's website www.medicys.fr (MEDICYS - 73, Boulevard de Clichy 75009 Paris).

Customers may also attempt to resolve their dispute via the online dispute resolution platform: https: //ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr/main/.

ARTICLE 15 - APPLICABLE LAW AND JURISDICTION

The GCS are governed by French law and any dispute relating to their execution or interpretation will be subject to the jurisdiction of the Paris courts, subject to applicable rules of public order.

Article R 631-3 of the Consumer Code states that the " consumer may refer the matter either to one of the courts having territorial jurisdiction under the Code of Civil Procedure, or to the court for the place where he resided at the time the contract was concluded or at the time the harmful event occurred ".

Prior to any recourse to the courts, negotiation in a spirit of loyalty and good faith will be preferred with a view to reaching an amicable agreement in the event of any dispute relating to the present contract, including those concerning its validity.

The party wishing to initiate the negotiation process must inform the other party by registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt, indicating the elements of the dispute. Should the parties fail to reach agreement within fifteen (15) days, the dispute will be submitted to the competent court designated above.

Throughout the negotiation process and until its conclusion, the parties undertake to refrain from taking any legal action against each other in connection with the dispute under negotiation. By way of exception, the parties are authorized to bring an action before a court of summary jurisdiction or to apply for an order on petition. Any action brought before a court of summary jurisdiction or the implementation of a petition procedure does not imply any waiver of the amicable settlement clause on the part of the parties, unless they expressly wish otherwise.
