The Customer declares that it has the capacity to enter into this contract, in other words that it has legal majority and is not under guardianship or trusteeship.

Orders should be placed in accordance with the instructions set out on the website. The Customer shall provide all the information required, fully and exactly.

Article 5: Availability of products

 

Products are offered for sale subject to stock availability and supply. The availability of the products will be definitively confirmed when notice of dispatch of the order has been sent to the Customer by email.

In the event that an ordered product is not available when the Customer’s order is being prepared, LLC DEEP-DEALS shall inform the Customer accordingly by email as soon as possible after the date of its order and inform it as to when the product may be delivered.

The Customer shall sign a delivery note in respect of the items. If the Customer is absent at the time of delivery, the package will be available for collection from a designated pick-up point for 14 days from the date a notice of attempted delivery was left at the Customer’s address.

LLC DEEP-DEALS shall in any event deliver the order to the consumer Customer within no more than 30 days from confirmation of the email or the banking of the due amount if payment is made by cheque. If this time is exceeded, and save in the event of force majeure, the consumer Customer may cancel the electronic sales contract entered into with LLC DEEP-DEALS by letter sent by registered post with acknowledgment of receipt, in which case LLC DEEP-DEALS shall refund the consumer Customer within 30 days from receipt of the registered letter.

LLC DEEP-DEALS shall in any event endeavour to comply with the delivery periods indicated when the Customer’s order was registered. In the absence of such an agreement, and in the event the delivery times are exceeded, LLC DEEP-DEALS shall not be liable for damages nor shall the Customer be entitled to a retention or to cancel the existing order(s). LLC DEEP-DEALS shall be entitled to proceed with complete or partial deliveries. In the event of temporary or permanent unavailability of the product ordered, due, for instance, to a supplier’s failure, LLC DEEP-DEALS shall notify the Customer as soon as possible and shall indicate the date on which the order may be fulfilled.

The Customer is responsible for checking the condition of the packaging and of the products and the number of products on receipt.

Without prejudice to the steps to be taken with regards to the carrier, claims relating to apparent defects or lack of conformity in the delivered product shall be made in writing and sent to LLC DEEP-DEALS within 3 days from the date of delivery or date of availability for collection of the product. The Customer shall provide evidence of the defects or anomalies found by sending a copy of the letter sent to the carrier and a copy of the delivery note that indicates the issues. It will provide LLC DEEP-DEALS with every opportunity to inspect the defects. No amicable or legal claim brought by a professional Customer beyond the 3-day period above shall be accepted.

Such a claim may be made by email and sent to LLC DEEP-DEALS at [email protected].

Any claim not made in accordance with the above nor made within the above time limits shall not be considered and LLC DEEP-DEALS shall be discharged from any responsibility towards the consumer.

LLC DEEP-DEALS’s Customer Services must be notified in advance of all returns. LLC DEEP-DEALS shall be liable for the costs of returning a product. The shipping costs paid when ordering will be refunded by LLC DEEP-DEALS, unless such product does not correspond to the original declaration made by the consumer, in which case the costs of shipping cannot be refunded.

LLC DEEP-DEALS shall not, in any event, be liable for any delay or mistake in delivery due to an event of force majeure or to the Customer’s fault. In some cases, such as lack of payment, wrong address or other issue with the Customer’s account, LLC DEEP-DEALS reserves the right to suspend the Customer’s order until the problem has been resolved.

LLC DEEP-DEALS shall make every effort to ensure that the delivery times indicated when the order was registered are met. However, if a package is not received within the delivery times indicated, the Customer should notify Customer Services within no more than 90 days, from the date of registration of the order. Enquiries shall immediately be made of the carrier. LLC DEEP-DEALS will be unable to deal with the Customer’s request after this period.

Article 7: Cancellation period

 

In accordance with article L121-20 of the Consumer Code the consumer Customer shall have 14 clear days from the date of receipt of the products ordered in which to cancel its order.

In order to exercise this cancellation right, the Customer must inform LLC DEEP-DEALS accordingly by registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt or by mail with the contact form within the time limits provided above

The Customer must return the products, to the same address, within the cancellation period, without any marks in their original packaging, unused and in perfect condition, together with all accessories and any gifts that may have been offered. It must return the product with a copy of the invoice. The Customer shall only be liable for the cost of returning the products. If the conditions for product returns are not entirely met, LLC DEEP-DEALS may deduct from the amount refunded, as the case may be, a proportion of the sale price equivalent to the sale price of the missing items, and to the cost of repairing, replacing and/or making good any damaged products.

LLC DEEP-DEALS shall refund the consumer Customer within 30 days from the date of receipt of the registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt indicating the consumer Customer’s wish to cancel.

Article 8: Responsibility

 

The Customer shall enable LLC DEEP-DEALS to inspect the products for defects or anomalies.

Any return costs incurred are payable by the Customer.

In the event of a fault on the part of LLC DEEP-DEALS for which it is responsible, its liability shall only extend to direct, personal and certain damage suffered by the Customer. Liability for any indirect and immaterial damage or loss, such as financial loss, damage to image, and so on, is expressly excluded. The amount of any damages and interest that LLC DEEP-DEALS may be liable for in the above circumstances shall in any event be limited to the amount of the order.

• Deterioration or accidents resulting from negligence, lack of supervision or maintenance or incorrect use,

• Damage resulting from modifications, additions or repairs to the product,
