The Sellers have expressed their will and have agreed to combine their general terms and conditions of sale into a single document. These General Terms and Conditions of Sale are therefore valid for all Sellers.

The General Terms and Conditions of Sale, also known as the "T&Cs", define the contractual relations with consumer Customers or Professional Customers, hereinafter referred to as "Buyers", "Buyers" and, when necessary in order to differentiate the category of Customers: "Professional Buyer" "Consumer Buyer" or "Professional Customer" "Consumer Customer". They reflect the company's commercial policy.

Within the meaning of the Consumer Code, a consumer is "any natural person who acts for purposes that do not fall within the scope of his or her commercial, industrial, artisanal or liberal activity".

The purpose of these General Terms and Conditions of Sale is to define and establish the rights and obligations of the parties in the context of the sale, here online, of Sellers' Products.

They are applicable between the Sellers and the Buyer without restriction or reservation to all sales concluded by each of the Sellers with the Buyer, regardless of the clauses that may appear on the Client's documents, possibly its General Terms and Conditions of Purchase.

The Sellers reserve the right to adapt or modify these T&Cs at any time. On the day of the Order placed by the Buyer, the amended General Terms and Conditions of Sale will be applied, communicated and those in force.

In compliance with the law in force, these General Terms and Conditions of Sale are automatically communicated to the Buyer before the conclusion of the sale and to the Buyer who requests them in order to allow him to place the Order.

During the online Order process, any purchase of Products implies, on the part of the Buyer, the unreserved acceptance of these General Terms and Conditions of Sale and Use of the hosting site and its Sellers. By clicking on the Order confirmation, the Buyer acknowledges that he or she has read, understood and accepted the General Terms and Conditions of Sale and Use in force without limitation or condition.

The information and offers of the Sellers present on the website are reviewable and modifiable at any time when this action is necessary.

The Sellers invite the Buyer to carefully read, download and print the General Terms and Conditions of Sale and Use on the hosting site and to keep a copy of them.

In compliance with the regulations in force, the Sellers reserve the right and in this case, are required to establish categorical General Terms and Conditions of Sale, i.e. to match the General Terms and Conditions of Sale according to the type of customer considered and determined on the basis of objective criteria established by the Third-Party Sellers and the Operator. In this situation, the Categorical Terms and Conditions of Sale are applicable to any Buyer who meets these criteria.

These General Terms and Conditions of Sale and the information relating to the contract of sale have been communicated in a visible and clear manner to the Buyer.

The website may, at any time, display errors, inaccuracies, or omissions related to its content, technical malfunctions, or issues beyond our control. Given that the site is still new, adjustments and improvements may still be necessary.

While we strive to ensure the quality and proper functioning of the site, we cannot be held responsible for any inconvenience or damage resulting from such errors or interruptions. Users acknowledge that they use the site at their own risk, and no liability can be incurred in this regard.

ARTICLE.4 – INFORMATION ON THE PRODUCTS OFFERED FOR SALE

The Products offered by TEXIME and the Third-Party Sellers for sale online on the hosting site and any commercial support are each the subject of an essential, indicative and approximate description detailing the technical characteristics, the price, if applicable, the conditions of use and the specific conditions of sale of the Product established by the Seller.

Unless otherwise specified, TEXIME is not an authorized reseller of any of the original manufacturers of surplus, refurbished, new and used products that TEXIME resells. Thus, by accepting these T&Cs, any Buyer becomes aware of this information and the responsibility of TEXIME and the Third-Party Sellers will not be engaged. Any Buyer will not be able to request a refund, a return on this ground.

The Product and Price offers by the Sellers are valid as long as they are visible on the hosting site and within the limit of their available stocks.

The necessary information concerning the Products offered by the Sellers for sale online on the hosting site is communicated and thus known to the Buyer, who certifies that he is aware of the conditions of use.

The aspects of the Products ordered and received and its colors are not considered essential characteristics and do not engage the responsibility of the Sellers as long as the textual characteristics are accurate.

The Sellers reserve the right, without notice, at any time, to abandon any Product or to make changes to any Product as part of the improvement of the hosting site and the online catalog. In the event that the Product is withdrawn from online sale, it will be removed from the website as soon as possible, without the possibility of complaint for the Buyer.

ARTICLE.5 – ORDERING PROCESS

5.1 – APPLIED LANGUAGES

All contractual and commercial documents, etc., are written in French, the language that mainly governs relationships.

Under no reason and under no circumstances may TEXIME and the Third-Party Sellers be held liable for any difficulty or misinterpretation or misunderstanding of the French language by the Buyer.

Nevertheless, the Operator offers the Buyer a version of the hosting site in English, the major official language in the European Union, in order to guarantee a better customer experience.

5.2 – ORDER STEPS

It is only possible to place an Order on the hosting site. No Order sent by mail, fax, etc. may be taken into account by TEXIME and the Third-Party Sellers unless agreed.

1) PURCHASE OF PRODUCTS ON THE HOSTING SITE

The acceptance, processing and confirmation of the Buyer's Order is confirmed by the entry of important and necessary data to clearly identify and deliver any Buyer.

The Buyer wishing to place an Order must be at least 18 years old and have the legal capacity to enter into a contract.

2) PERSONAL ACCOUNT

Before being able to place and confirm their Order, the Buyer must create and open a personal account on the hosting site.

The Buyer must fill in a certain amount of necessary information and fill in all the mandatory fields (*) for the processing of his Order and to benefit from specific rates if he is a Professional Customer.

This requested and necessary information allows the identification of the Buyer for the purposes of sending confirmation and processing of the Order, invoicing, reminders, tracking of Order(s), quotes, return(s).

This personal information is modifiable and can be consulted at any time by the Buyer.

The Buyer's Personal Account is secured, in particular through the creation of a strong and personal password chosen by the Buyer. The unauthorized use of the Buyer's personal account by a third party who has had access to its username and password does not engage the liability of the Operator or the Third-Party Sellers and engages the negligence of the Buyer.

In their Personal Space, the Buyer can change their password at any time and the Sellers strongly advise the Buyer to do so. It is recommended that the Buyer change his password regularly.

The Buyer's Personal Account may be terminated or suspended as a result of non-payment, partial or late payment (if excess), also as a result of any act or failure that may cause prejudice to the Sellers.

They must then enter their means of payment as well as all the necessary and mandatory information for the processing of the Order, such as for payment by credit card: name of the bank card holder, their number, their expiry date, their cryptogram, etc. In order to access the confirmation of the payment stage, the Buyer will be asked to read the General Terms and Conditions of Sale and Use and to fully accept them, by ticking the box dedicated to this purpose.

This validation implies acceptance of the entire General Terms and Conditions of Sale and Use and constitutes proof of the sales contract.

· The taking into account of the Order and the acceptance of it are confirmed by sending an email and subject to the availability of stocks of the Sellers. Validation of the Order is conditional on the correct payment of the latter.

5.3 – LEGITIMATE REFUSAL OF SALE

In accordance with the provisions of Article L.121-11 of the Consumer Code, the Sellers will have the option for the Consumer Buyer to refuse the Order by invoking a legitimate reason. It is already specified (case law) that the following elements will be qualified as legitimate reasons:

6.4 PRICES

The prices of the Products are those indicated on the hosting site and are established by the Sellers. Sellers reserve the right to change the prices of their Products without notice and at any time. Taking into account the General Terms and Conditions of Sale in force at the time of reading, the Buyer is informed that the prices and Products of the Sellers appearing on the hosting site are subject to change without notice and at any time.

The execution of one-off promotional operations may result in a fluctuation in the price of one or more prizes for an indefinite and/or limited period of time and will be indicated on the hosting site. These price fluctuations will not entitle you to any refund for Orders placed outside the promotional period or without the use of the relevant promotional code.

All Sellers' prices on the hosting site are given subject to any typographical error that can be justified or malfunctioning of the calculation algorithms.

In the event of an error(s), the Sellers will contact the Buyer to alert him of these possible errors on the hosting site and they will remind him that the Order will be invoiced under the corrected conditions. However, if the Buyer refuses to accept the price correction, it will be free to cancel the corrected Order without penalty. This cancellation must be declared and expressed clearly and unambiguously to the Sellers by email or post.

The Products remain the property of the Sellers until full payment of the price.

6.5 CUSTOMS DUTIES

Sellers make deliveries only within the European Union (EU). As a result, no customs duties have to be paid when goods are transported from one EU country to another.

ARTICLE.7 – PAYMENT TERMS

The currency used on the hosting site is the euro. The Order will be processed and shipped on the condition that payment for the Order is received from the funds in the Operator's bank account.

The Buyer pays for his Orders directly with the hosting site, according to the available means of payment.

Payment for Orders placed via the hosting site is made to the Operator or payment providers, who collect the funds on behalf of the Third-Party Sellers.

7.1 MEANS OF PAYMENT

1) PAYMENT BY CREDIT CARD

Payment by credit card is a cash payment.

Payment for the Buyer's Order is thus made immediately upon Ordering.

The Buyer can make the online payment of his Order on the hosting site by credit card. The Operator accepts the following credit cards:

· VISA

· MASTERCARD

· Credit card

· Etc...

2) PAYMENT BY BANK TRANSFER – PROFESSIONAL BUYER

The Operator accepts payment by bank transfer only according to the criteria established by a third party and the Third Party Sellers for the Professional Buyer. For this means of payment, the Professional Buyer's Order is only validated and shipped from the receipt of the funds in the Operator's bank account.

The Sellers reserve the right not to proceed with the sale and delivery of the Products that the Professional Buyer has ordered, if the latter does not pay the price to the Operator under the conditions and in accordance with the terms and conditions indicated.

3) 30 DAY PAYMENT INVOICE DATE GRANTED – PROFESSIONAL BUYER

If the Sellers have not granted a payment within 30 days of the invoice date to the Professional Buyer, the payment terms are either in cash at the time of the Order by credit card or by bank transfer.

Payment terms within 30 days of invoice date may be granted, subject to satisfactory references and at the absolute discretion of the Third Party Sellers and TEXIME. If this means of payment is granted, it can only be set up from the 2nd Order of the Professional Buyer.

For the Professional Buyer, if payment within 30 days of the invoice date has been granted by the Sellers, they will issue the Professional Buyer with an invoice at the time of delivery of his Order. This invoice will be emailed in PDF format to the Business Buyer. The Business Buyer must pay the invoice price within 30 days of the invoice date. All payments must be made without any set-off and/or deduction.

The criteria for the Professional Buyer are established by the Sellers. As a result, the Professional Buyer will be contacted to inform him of his eligibility for this means of payment. The Professional Buyer may also contact the Operator and the Third-Party Sellers in order to discuss the matter, to grant or not this means of payment.

4) PAYMENT INCIDENT – PROFESSIONAL BUYER

In the event that an amount is not paid by the due date of payment, for payment within 30 days of the invoice date, then, without prejudice to any other right or remedy:

· All sums due by the Professional Buyer shall become immediately due and payable, even if such sums are not due until a later date;

· For any amount not paid by the due date, the Sellers will automatically be entitled to enforce late payment penalties payable by operation of law on the day following the payment date appearing on the invoice. These penalties are calculated at the legal interest rate in force. The sums due will therefore be increased by an interest rate representing 3 times the legal interest rate in force. That is, Sellers may charge the Professional Buyer interest from the due date until full payment (before and after any judgment) on the unpaid amount at an interest rate representing 3 times the prevailing legal interest rate.

In the second half of 2024, the interest rate = 3 X 4.92 (current legal interest rate) = 14.76%

Calculation of late payment penalties: Late payment interest = unpaid amount X interest rate X number of days late / 365;

· In the event of total or partial non-payment or total or partial late payment of an invoice that has fallen due, the Sellers reserve the right (cumulative options), after sending a simple registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt informing the Buyer, to:

- Suspend or cancel the delivery of current and/or future Orders from the Professional Buyer,

- Review any special conditions that may be granted to the Professional Buyer,

- Immediately demand the payment of the outstanding debt of the Professional Buyer, without the latter being able to claim any compensation or oppose it.

The Sellers reserve the right to immediately take back the Products. Return shipping costs are the responsibility of the Professional Buyer.

· AND pursuant to Article L 441-6 paragraph 12 of the French Commercial Code, any delay in payment shall automatically make payable a lump sum compensation for recovery costs in the amount of €40 excluding VAT (Article D 441-5 of the French Commercial Code) as of the first day following the date of payment appearing on the invoice.

The costs of collection as well as any fees or legal costs arising therefrom will be borne by the Professional Buyer.

7.2 DECLINED PAYMENT TERMS

Sellers refuse the following payment methods from the Buyer:

· Cheques

· Cash

· Virtual currencies

The Sellers do not discount the Sellers.

ARTICLE.8 – TERMS OF DELIVERY

8.1 PLACE OF DELIVERY

The Product(s) ordered are delivered to the delivery address that the Buyer will have indicated during the Order process with all the requested and mandatory elements, provided that it is located in the geographical area specified in these General Terms and Conditions of Sale and accepted by the Sellers.

The delivery address must be a physical and valid address.

The Buyer is required to take delivery of the Products at the time when the Sellers deliver them or have them delivered to him, or as the case may be at the time when they are made available to him.

All deliveries will be the subject of a delivery note that the Buyer must sign upon receipt of the products. The signature of this transport receipt constitutes an unreserved acceptance of the goods.

It is the responsibility of the Buyer to check the products at the time of delivery.

In the event of an input error, in particular an incorrect or incomplete delivery address, the Third-Party Sellers and the Operator shall not be held liable for the consequences in terms of delay or impossibility of delivery. All costs related to the reshipment of the Products due to an input error by the Buyer will be the sole responsibility of the latter.

8.2 DELIVERY TERMS

Each Seller makes their own delivery of their own Products from the Orders.

Except in special cases or unavailability of one or more Products from a Third Party Seller, the Products of each Third Party Seller ordered will be delivered in one go. As soon as the Order has been validated and payment has been validated, the Sellers prepare the Order: destocking the Products, issuing the delivery note and packaging the package, etc. Delivery is made from the Sellers' warehouse (located in different locations).

If an Order is for several Products from different Sellers, the packages will be separate, so there will be several packages: for example, TEXIME ships such a package with such and such Product(s), Seller Tier 1 ships such and such a package with such and such Product(s), Seller Tier 2 ships such and such a package with such and such Product(s), Seller Tier 3 ships such and such a package with such and such Product(s)...

Subject to cancellation, replacement or non-performance, etc., of Buyer's Orders, Sellers will deliver the Products specified in Buyer's Order.

The choice of delivery method by the Buyer is made during the Order process. The Buyer must select his choice of delivery method with the carrier and the corresponding costs. The costs of delivery are in addition to those of the Products ordered. The amount of the delivery costs is determined by the weight, the total volume of the delivery and the place of delivery, according to the rates charged by the carrier.

8.3 DELIVERY TIMES

The times announced are times after the Sellers' warehouse (located in different locations).

The average delivery times for each delivery method and by carrier are indicated when choosing the delivery method.

The delivery times quoted are only approximate and the Third Party Seller and the Operator cannot be held responsible for the consequences of any delay in delivery. The stated delivery time is not an essential condition of the sales contract. In this case, a specified delivery date never constitutes a definitive deadline.

In the event of public holidays, periods of high activity such as sales, promotional operations, bad weather, exceptional closures or traffic bans/problems, etc., processing and delivery times may be extended (non-exhaustive list).

Delivery deadlines may never give rise to damages, or to the cancellation of current Orders, or to the total or partial suspension of payment for an Order, the Third-Party Seller and the Operator being in no way liable for failure to comply with the delivery deadlines indicated, which the Buyer expressly acknowledges and accepts.

Lost Package: If the Buyer has not received their package within 30 days of the stated delivery time or any updated estimated delivery date and their tracking indicates that it is still not delivered, the Buyer must contact the Seller by email and telephone to let them know. When the Seller is notified by the Buyer of the lost package, the Seller opens an investigation with the carrier and if the package has not been found and delivered, the Operator (precision: TEXIME, itself the Seller, no need to be put in touch since TEXIME is also the Operator) with the agreement of the Third-Party Seller reimburses the Buyer.

8.4 RECEIPT OF PRODUCTS

The Buyer is invited to check the condition of the Products upon receipt in order to confirm their conformity with the Order.

In the event of non-conformity or apparent deterioration of the package, when the package is delivered in person to the Buyer and when verification of the Product is possible at the time of delivery, the Buyer must immediately express reservations about the condition of the package and the Product to the carrier, if the Product or its packaging has been damaged during transport.

ARTICLE.9 – TRANSFER OF OWNERSHIP AND RISKS

If the Buyer refuses to take delivery or fails to provide the information or instructions necessary for delivery, the Sellers are entitled to take back and store the Products at the Buyer's expense and risk.

Until the Buyer has paid the price in full, the Sellers reserve a right of ownership over the Products sold, allowing the Buyer to repossess the said Products.

In respect of Products ordered to be delivered to the Buyer's property, the risk of loss or damage-deterioration of the Products passes to the Buyer upon delivery, unless the Buyer wrongfully fails to take delivery of the Products, in which case such risk passes to the Buyer at the time the Sellers attempted to deliver the Products.

In the case of Products that Buyer orders for collection from Sellers' warehouse, the risk of loss or damage-deterioration of the Products passes to Buyer at the time of collection.

Ownership of any Product shall not pass to the Buyer until full payment of the price of its Order and all other amounts due to the Operator (the Operator transfers the funds to the Third Party Sellers and as a reminder, the Operator is itself a Seller) has been made (within the accepted payment terms).

In the case of payment 30 days, invoice date granted by Sellers to the Business Buyer, if the Business Buyer is in arrears in the payment of any sums due to the Sellers, they have the right to immediately return all Products whose ownership has not been transferred to the Business Buyer. The Professional Buyer authorizes the Sellers and its agents to collect such Products in such circumstances and to enter the premises of the Professional Buyer for this purpose.

The request or collection of the Products by the Sellers does not in itself release the Professional Buyer from its obligation to pay the full price and to take delivery of the Products.

Return shipping costs are the responsibility of the Buyer.

ARTICLE.10 – BUYER-CONSUMER RIGHT OF WITHDRAWAL

10.1 GENERAL

In accordance with the legal provisions in force, the Consumer Buyer has a withdrawal period of 14 days from receipt of the Products (if the Consumer Buyer's Order relates to several products delivered separately, the starting point of the withdrawal period is upon receipt of the last Product) to exercise their right of withdrawal by indicating the reason on the return slip.

To exercise this right, the Consumer Buyer may notify the Sellers of their decision to withdraw by means of an unambiguous statement (e.g. letter sent by post, fax or e-mail – with acknowledgement of receipt) to the Seller's address that will be indicated to you.

The Consumer Buyer may also use the standard withdrawal form available

In order for the withdrawal period to be respected, it is sufficient for the consumer Buyer to send his communication relating to the exercise of the right of withdrawal before the expiry of the withdrawal period.

In the event of withdrawal on the part of the Consumer Buyer, the Third-Party Seller with the Operator or the Operator alone – itself the Seller and therefore no connection, depending on the initial means of payment, undertakes to reimburse the full amount paid, without delivery costs, without undue delay and, in any event.

10.2 RETURN CONDITIONS

The Consumer Buyer must indicate his return request on his Customer Account. From there, the Buyer will receive a return voucher and must return the Products with it, to the Seller's address indicated, TEXIME - SAS PROBOBINAGE, 78 Rue Henri Barbusse 59224 Thiant (France), without undue delay and, in any case, no later than 14 days after the Consumer Buyer has communicated his decision to withdraw. This withdrawal period is deemed to have been respected if the Consumer Buyer returns the Products before the expiry of the 14-day period.

The cost of returning the Products shall be borne by the Buyer. Once the products have been received and inspected, if we accept your return, you will be refunded for the products.

Only the return of Products in their original, complete packaging (accessories, instructions, etc.), in the same condition as when they were received, unused, unwashed, undamaged, unworn, and accompanied by the return label received (to be glued/taped to the box of the package) as well as the return slip requested on the site and carefully completed, will be accepted.

Each refund will be made through the Operator in agreement with the Third-Party Seller for credit card payments. For bank transfer payments and payments granted within 30 days of invoice date, the refund will be made by the Third Party Sellers. Each refund will be made as soon as possible upon receipt of the returned products and verification of their compliant condition and using the same means of payment as the Consumer Buyer used for the initial transaction, unless the Consumer Buyer expressly agrees on a different means with the Third-Party Seller and the Operator

No refunds will be given for defects or non-conformities resulting from improper use of the Product, modifications made by the consumer Purchaser, or negligence.

ARTICLE.11 – RIGHT OF WITHDRAWAL FOR PROFESSIONAL BUYERS

11.1 GENERAL

Under the legislation in force, the right of withdrawal is applicable exclusively to the Consumer Buyer, defined as natural persons acting for purposes that do not fall within the scope of their commercial, industrial, craft or liberal activity.

Consequently, these General Terms and Conditions of Sale do not provide for a right of withdrawal for the Professional Buyer.

Orders placed by any Business Customer are considered firm and final. The customer must ensure that the products he orders are suitable for the purposes for which he intends to use them.

11.2 RETURN CONDITIONS

Returns of Products by the Professional Buyer will only be accepted in the event of manufacturing defects or non-conformity of the Products delivered in relation to the Order.

Claims for defects or non-conformity must be reported within 7 days of receipt of the goods.

Any return request must be submitted to the address of TEXIME - SAS PROBOBINAGE, 78 Rue Henri Barbusse 59224 Thiant (France). This may be different if it is an Order for several Products from different Sellers. In this case, each package with the Product(s) sold by the Seller must be returned to the address indicated by the same.

If the defect or non-conformity is confirmed, the refund will be made within 14 days of the confirmation and according to the terms and conditions agreed between the parties

No refunds will be given for defects or non-conformities resulting from improper use of the product, modifications made by the Professional Buyer, or negligence.

By purchasing and confirming the Product(s) in his basket, the Professional Buyer is aware of and expressly accepts the terms of use of this Product(s) ordered and its limits.

11.3 RETURN POLICY FOR FREE PRODUCTS / PROMOTIONAL GIFTS

When an order includes a free gift, no product returns will be accepted, whether for a refund or an exchange.

The benefit of a free product implies the customer's express acceptance of this condition.

No return requests can therefore be accepted for orders including a gift, regardless of the reason given.

As part of certain commercial or promotional offers, a gift may be offered with an order.

Gifts are offered while stocks last and are strictly limited to one gift per order, regardless of the order amount.

ARTICLE.12 – AVAILABILITY AND UNAVAILABILITY

All Products sold by each Seller on the hosting site are accompanied by a Product sheet in which the availability of the Product is correctly indicated except in the event of an unintentional error in the back office of the website. The Operator itself Seller and Third Party Sellers will not be held liable.

In the event that a Product is unavailable after an Order has been placed, the Sellers will inform the Buyer concerned by e-mail. Unless the Buyer, by return email, does not wish to provide a replacement solution for equivalent equipment within the limit of available stocks, the Order will be automatically cancelled and the Sellers will then proceed to refund the product within 30 days and using the same means of payment as the one used by the Buyer for the initial transaction, unless Buyer expressly agrees to a different means with the other party.

ARTICLE 13 – GUARANTEES

In accordance with the legislation in force, the Sellers will respect the legal guarantees relating to the conformity of the Products and hidden defects.

The guarantees described below are limited to the reimbursement of non-compliant or defective Products or to replacement within the limits of available stocks.

In order to assert its rights, the Buyer must, under penalty of forfeiture of any action relating thereto, inform the Sellers concerned of the existence of the defects, by registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt or by any means making the date of communication certain and within the time limits set for doing so.

13.3 WARRANTY AGAINST LATENT DEFECTS

The warranty against latent defects applies to all professional Buyers and Consumer Buyers.

Under articles 1641 et seq. of the Civil Code, the Seller is liable for hidden defects in the Product sold, whether new or used.

"The Seller is bound by the warranty in respect of hidden defects in the thing sold which render it unfit for the use for which it is intended, or which so diminish this use that the buyer would not have acquired it, or would have given only a lower price, if he had known of them." Article 1641 of the Civil Code.

Sellers are not liable for apparent defects.

To avail himself of this warranty, the Buyer must demonstrate the existence of a redhibitory defect, serious enough to render the thing, in this case, the Product(s) unfit for use, a latent defect and a defect prior to the sale.

The Buyer has a legal period of 2 years from the discovery of the defect to claim this warranty. (Article 1648 of the Civil Code)

The warranty against hidden defects does not apply to defects resulting from abnormal or inappropriate use, accident resulting from impact, fall, negligence, deterioration, lack of supervision or maintenance, unauthorized modifications, intervention by a third party on the product without having been previously authorized by the Seller or any other cause for which the Company is responsible.

13.4 LEGAL GUARANTEE OF CONFORMITY

The legal guarantee of conformity applies to any consumer Buyer and does not apply to any professional Buyer.

Product as described by the Seller

Product possessing the qualities advertised by the Seller or agreed with the consumer Buyer

Product with the characteristics defined by mutual agreement between the parties or be suitable for any special use sought by the consumer Buyer, brought to the attention of the Seller and accepted by the latter.

The Consumer Buyer could not have been unaware of the defect at the time of purchase (e.g., if the Seller informed him of it)

The defect results from materials that the Consumer Buyer has supplied or added (for example, if the Consumer Buyer puts another non-conforming Product in the Product ordered and received).

The Products ordered and delivered to the Consumer Buyer benefit from a legal guarantee of conformity for a period of 2 years from the date of delivery.

13.5 SOLICITATION OF THE WARRANTY

The assumption of warranty is accepted on the condition that an expert report is carried out on the cause of the non-conformity or the alleged defect.

Depending on the situation, this analysis will be carried out by the Sellers accompanied by experts on the condition that the Product(s) are returned by the Buyer.

In the event of non-conformity or proven apparent defect, the return costs are at the expense of the Buyer.

No replacement loan is granted by the Sellers to the Buyer during the period of immobilization of the products concerned for warranty expertise.

Only the return of Products in their original, complete packaging (accessories, instructions, etc.), in the same condition as when they were received, unused, unwashed, undamaged, unworn, and accompanied by the return label (to be glued/taped to the box of the package) as well as the carefully completed return slip will be accepted.

In the event of acceptance of warranty coverage, the Third-Party Seller or the Operator, depending on the initial means of payment and depending on the Product ordered and the expertise, will reimburse the Product(s) within a maximum period of 30 days following the date of confirmation of the defect.

13.6 DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTY

The warranties do not cover damage resulting from abnormal, improper use, accident resulting from impact, fall, neglect, deterioration, lack of supervision or maintenance, unauthorized modifications, intervention by a third party on the product without having been previously authorized by the Seller or any other cause not within the responsibility of the Third Party Seller and the Operator (Seller).

The Products sold by Sellers must be assembled and used by a competent person and under his or her sole responsibility. Thus, the Sellers will not be held responsible for the consequences of improper dismantling and assembly, the use of an unsuitable Product on a machine or other and direct or indirect damage caused to a thing or a person. The Buyer will be held solely responsible.

Cases of exclusions from coverage:

Normal wear and tear of a product

Defects and their consequences related to the Buyer's choice of a non-conforming Product, not adapted to the manufacturer's specifications

Defects and their consequences related to assembly or installation that does not comply with the rules specific to the machine on which the Product is mounted.

Defects and their consequences related to an error on the part of the Buyer resulting from use or installation not in accordance with the manufacturer's specifications or storage harmful to the proper conservation of the Product

Defects and their consequences related to the abnormal use of the Product(s) for the purpose for which it is intended

Damage resulting from an external cause (accident, lightning, current fluctuation, etc.).

Defects related to the Products that the Buyer has modified, repaired, integrated or added,

Products whose defect is the result of damage related to transport.

In all these cases, the Third-Party Sellers and TEXIME will not be held responsible for the defect of the Product and any damage caused.

THE BUYER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT IS HIS RESPONSIBILITY TO ENSURE THAT THE PRODUCTS HE ORDERS ARE SUITABLE FOR THE PURPOSES FOR WHICH HE INTENDS TO USE THEM.

ARTICLE 14 – RESPONSIBILITIES

The liability of the Third-Party Sellers as well as that of TEXIME cannot be engaged in the event of non-performance or poor performance of the contract due either to the act of the Buyer or a third party to the contract, or to a case of force majeure.

The Sellers cannot be held liable for non-compliance of the Product with the legislation of the Buyer's country, which is responsible for verifying, in particular, whether the Product(s) are not prohibited from sale in its country.

The photographs and graphics or other visual elements appearing on the website are given for information purposes only and do not constitute a contractual commitment on the part of TEXIME and the Third-Party Sellers guaranteeing a perfect similarity between the Product ordered and the Product represented.

As such, TEXIME and the Third-Party Sellers will not be held liable for any discrepancy between the Product photographed on the product sheets and the Product(s) delivered.

The responsibility of TEXIME but also that of the Third-Party Sellers cannot be engaged for any inconvenience or damage inherent in the use of the Internet network, in particular a break in service, an external intrusion or the presence of computer viruses, or any fact qualified as force majeure.

In addition, the Third-Party Sellers and TEXIME cannot be held liable in the event that the Order does not succeed or if it is prevented from complying with any of its obligations in a case of force majeure and in particular in the event of bad weather, public holidays, periods of high activity such as sales, promotional operations, etc. exceptional closures or bans/traffic problems (non-exhaustive list) preventing the delivery of the Order.

Any deterioration of the product during transport is the responsibility of the carrier only, the Buyer waiving any recourse against the Third-Party Sellers and TEXIME in this respect.

In order to relocate an Order, one or more Products to a country other than mainland France, the Buyer becomes the importer of the Product(s) concerned.

Customs duties, local taxes, import duties or state taxes, etc., may be charged under his responsibility.

The Buyer must therefore check with the local authorities the possibilities of importing and using the Products that he intends to send and make any corresponding declaration and/or payment to the competent bodies.

He must also ensure that the manufacturer's own technical specifications comply with the legislation in force in the country concerned.

If the Buyer does not comply with the legislation of the country in force where it has introduced the Products, the Third-Party Sellers and TEXIME cannot be held liable.

The Third-Party Sellers and TEXIME therefore invite the Buyer to refer to the description of each product to find out its precise characteristics.

In case of doubt or if the Buyer wishes additional information, the Third-Party Sellers and TEXIME invite the Buyer to contact them by email or telephone.

The Buyer is solely responsible for the reception, storage and use of the Product(s) in conditions that comply with and in accordance with the regulations.

It is the responsibility of the Buyer, under his own responsibility, to check and verify that the Product(s) ordered take into account the general rules applicable to the planned performance and the specific conditions of use.

The Third-Party Sellers and TEXIME shall not be held liable under any circumstances, either to the Buyer or to a third party, for any indirect damage, in particular operating loss, loss of customers, commercial damage, damage to the brand image, or any inconvenience resulting from the execution of the operations referred to in the T&Cs. In any event, except in the case of gross negligence, in no case may the liability of the Third-Party Sellers and TEXIME exceed the amount paid by the Buyer in consideration of its obligations.
