Article 5 - Description of the ordering process
5.1 Prior creation of an account by the customer
Placing an order on the site requires the customer to fill in a form on the site and to validate the present general conditions of sale.
At the time of placing an order, the customer is asked to provide accurate and truthful information about their situation.
He/she must update his/her data with each new order.
If the customer fails to provide a valid e-mail address and a valid telephone number, orders cannot be honoured by the seller.
The seller reserves the right to refuse or invalidate the registration of a customer whose information proves to be inaccurate or if the customer lacks the legal capacity to place an order.
The creation of an account by the customer implies the choice by the latter of a confidential password to access his account in order to place orders on the site.
This password is personal and confidential.
However, the customer can modify it online from his account.
Any access to the customer's account using the customer's password is deemed to have been made by the customer.
The seller shall in no event be liable for any fraudulent or abnormal use of the customer's password and/or account, and the seller reserves the right to temporarily suspend access to the customer's account in the event that such use is detected.
The seller also reserves the right to use the customer's password exclusively for the technical maintenance of the site.
The seller guarantees in its conditions the permanent maintenance of the confidentiality of the customer's password.
5.2 The actual ordering process
The contractual information, as well as the details of the order, are the subject of a detailed summary before the final validation of the order.
The validation click carried out at the end of the ordering process for the products on the site formalises the confirmation of the order and constitutes irrevocable acceptance of these general terms of sale.
The click of validation is worth definitive consent to contract with Emmanuelle VIDAL GALERIE, for the selected products subject to the exercise of the right of retractation reserved to the customer as aimed at the article 15 of the present.
After having validated his/her order on the site, the customer will receive an e-mail from the seller accepting the order, containing the elements of the order. It is therefore imperative that the customer be particularly vigilant when filling in their e-mail address.
This electronic mail will constitute the acceptance by Emmanuelle VIDAL GALERIE of the order and will thus form the sale contract between the customer and Emmanuelle VIDAL GALERIE.
This acceptance will contain all the elements constituting the order placed by the customer (products, price, deadline, place of delivery, payment terms, shipping method and costs).
5.3 - Electronic signature
Any order form signed by the customer by the validation click of the order constitutes an irrevocable acceptance which can only be called into question in the cases restrictively provided for in the present general conditions of sale, such as the right of withdrawal or the shortage of stock.
This electronic signature has the same value between the parties as a handwritten signature.
Article 6 - Order confirmation
The seller shall send the customer an e-mail summarising the order, as referred to in Article 5.
Article 7 - Proof of the transaction
The computerised registers, kept in the seller's computer systems under reasonable security conditions, will be considered as proof of the communications, orders and payments made between the parties. The archiving of order forms and invoices is carried out on a reliable and durable medium that can be produced as proof.
Article 8 - Product information
The products governed by these general conditions are those which appear on the seller's website and which are indicated as sold and dispatched by the seller. They are offered within the limits of available stocks.
The products are described and presented as accurately as possible and any imperfections are also indicated.
The photographs of the products are very close to reality but there may be slight differences in colour between the photographs and the actual colours of the products. The customer is informed and accepts this. The seller cannot be held responsible for these differences.
The photographs of the products are not contractual.
Article 9 - Prices
The seller reserves the right to modify its prices at any time but undertakes to apply the prices in force at the time of the order, subject to availability on that date.
The prices are indicated in euros, and include transport costs for all deliveries in mainland France.
Apart from delivery in Metropolitan France, prices do not take into account delivery costs, which are invoiced in addition and indicated on a quote before the order is validated. The prices take into account the VAT applicable on the day of the order and any change in the applicable VAT rate will automatically be reflected in the price of the products in the online shop. The payment of the totality of the price must be carried out at the time of the order. At no time may the sums paid be considered as a deposit or advance payment.
If one or more taxes or contributions, in particular environmental taxes, are created or modified, either upwards or downwards, this change may be reflected in the selling price of the products.
The price is payable in full and in one instalment when ordering by bank transfer or credit card.
Article 10 - Method of payment
This is an order with a payment obligation, which means that the placing of the order implies payment by the customer at the time of the order.
To pay for his order, the customer has, at his choice, all the payment methods made available by the seller and listed on the seller's website. The customer guarantees the seller that he/she has the necessary authorisations to use the method of payment chosen by him/her when validating the order form. The seller reserves the right to suspend any order processing and any delivery in the event of refusal to authorise payment by bank card by the officially accredited organisations or in the event of non-payment. The seller reserves the right to refuse to make a delivery or to honour an order from a buyer who has not paid in full or in part for a previous order or with whom a payment dispute is being administered.
For verification purposes, the customer may be asked to send a copy of an identity document and proof of address to the seller by fax or e-mail. The order will only be validated after the seller has received and verified the documents sent.
The payment of the price is to be made in cash at the time of ordering, according to the following methods: bank transfer or credit card.
Payments made by the customer shall not be considered final until the seller has actually received the sums due.
Article 11 - Availability of products - Refunds - Resolution
Except in cases of force majeure or during periods when the online shop is closed, which will be clearly announced on the home page of the site, the delivery times will be, within the limits of available stocks, those indicated below.
For deliveries in Metropolitan France, the maximum delivery time is 30 working days from the day after the customer's order has been validated by the seller and after validation of payment. For deliveries outside mainland France, delivery times and prices will be validated on the basis of an estimate depending on the place of delivery and the characteristics of the products.
In the event of non-compliance with the agreed delivery date or delivery period, the customer shall, before rescinding the contract, require the seller to perform the contract within a reasonable additional period.
In the event of failure to perform within this new period, the client may freely cancel the contract.
The customer must complete these successive formalities by registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt or in writing on another durable medium.
The contract shall be deemed to be terminated on receipt by the seller of the letter or writing informing him of such termination, unless the trader has performed in the meantime.
The customer may, however, immediately withdraw from the contract if the dates or deadlines mentioned above are an essential condition of the contract, in which case he should have specified this in his order.
In this case, when the contract is terminated, the seller is obliged to reimburse the customer for all sums paid, at the latest within 14 days of the date on which the contract was terminated.
The seller may defer reimbursement until the goods have been recovered or the customer has provided proof of shipment of the goods, whichever is earlier.
In case of unavailability of the ordered product, the customer will be informed as soon as possible and will have the possibility to cancel his order. The customer will then have the choice of requesting either a refund of the sums paid within 30 days at the latest of their payment, or an exchange of the product.
Article 12 - Delivery terms

The ordered products are delivered according to the following methods: Colissimo with tracking or by an independent carrier depending on the size and weight of the products ordered and at the sole initiative of the seller.
