V. ORDER - CONTRACT

Ordering

The Customer must refer to the description of each Product in order to know its properties and essential characteristics.

The process of placing, validating and confirming the order and payment is as follows.

To purchase Products, the Customer must select them from the Site’s online catalogue and add them to his/her virtual cart. 

Once the selection is complete, in order to proceed with the purchase, the Customer will be asked to (i) register with the Site, providing details as requested, or, (ii) where already registered, to login, or (iii) to provide his/her details so that the order can be completed and the contract can be concluded. If the details on the order are different from those provided during the Site registration phase, the Customer will be asked to confirm the details as well as the delivery address for the Products chosen, the billing address and, on an optional basis, a telephone number on which he/she can be contacted in relation to the purchase made. The Customer agrees to provide to PALLAS Paris accurate, current, complete information and to maintain its accuracy. Customer agrees not to create an account under a false identity. It is the Customer's responsibility to update their data. The Customer undertakes to keep his/her login information secret and not to communicate it to third parties in any capacity whatsoever.

The Customer will also be asked to select a delivery option and a payment method from those available. The Customer will be required to carefully read and expressly approve the GTCs by ticking the check box and, finally, confirm the order by pressing the “place order” button; this action will send the order to PALLAS Paris.

The Customer shall bear the telecommunication costs.

Any order implies acceptance of the prices and descriptions of the Products available for sale.

PALLAS Paris reserves the right to cancel or refuse any order for legitimate reasons, in particular in the event of an uncommonly large order for a customer who is a consumer, as PALLAS Paris does not sell the Products offered on the Site to professionals but only to consumers or non-professionals, for their personal needs.

In certain cases, notably non-payment, incorrect address or other problem on the Customer’s account, PALLAS Paris reserves the right to block the Customer's order until the problem is resolved. The cancellation of the order for this Product and its possible reimbursement will then be carried out if the problem is not resolved, the rest of the order remaining firm and definitive.

Contract

A sale is only considered final after PALLAS Paris has sent the Customer confirmation of acceptance of the order by e-mail.

The online provision of the Customer's credit card number or the price acceptance through PAYPAL and the final validation of the order will be considered as proof of the Customer's agreement:

To pay the amounts due under the purchase order,For signature and express acceptance of all operations performed.

The computerized registers kept in the computer systems of PALLAS Paris shall 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.

 VI. PRICE

The sale price of the Product (firm and non-revisable) is the price in force on the day of the order. It is therefore specified that ANY ORDER MADE ON THE WEBSITE IS AN ORDER WITH OBLIGATION OF PAYMENT. PALLAS Paris reserves the right to modify the prices at any time, while guaranteeing to the Customer the application of the price in force on the day of the order, subject to availability on this date.

The prices are expressed in Euros and include, where applicable, all taxes (incl. VAT in force in France on the day of the order), excluding delivery and transport costs, invoiced in addition and indicated before the validation of the order.

The delivery and transport costs depend on the time the order is placed, and the delivery date chosen.

The total amount due by the Customer (including delivery costs) is indicated on the order confirmation page. 

However, if you order from the United Kingdom, you are considered as in “importer” of the Products. This means, in particular, that:

French VAT may not apply to your order,You may have to pay, depending on the price of your order: UK VAT, Custom Duty as well as Application fee for service charged by the carrier.

These extra costs are your responsibility.

We recommend that you seek information from your local authorities regarding how to purchase foreign products.

VII. TERMS OF PAYMENT

The totality of the price shall be paid in whole, at the time of the order, by secure payment, by bank cards (Visa, MasterCard, American Express) or PAYPAL. The Customer guarantees PALLAS Paris that he/she has the necessary authorizations to use these methods of payment.

When the Customer selects immediate payment by bank card or by PAYPAL, he/she will be requested to provide the credit card information via a secure socket connection or validate the payment via PAYPAL.

PALLAS Paris reserves the right to check the personal details provided by the consumer for accounting and administration purposes.

For payments by bank card, the purchase price will only be charged to the Customer when PALLAS Paris sends the order confirmation.

PALLAS Paris reserves the right to suspend any order management and any delivery in the event of refusal of authorization of payment by bank card by officially accredited organizations or in the event of non-payment.

Payments made by the Customer will only be considered final after effective collection by PALLAS Paris of the sums due.

In case of refusal by the bank, the order will be automatically cancelled.

In order to optimize the security of transactions on the Internet, the Site uses an online payment system SSL (Secure Socket Layer) so that all means are implemented to ensure the confidentiality and security of data transmitted, as part of an online payment. PALLAS Paris’ online payment system (Stripe) automatically checks the validity of access rights during payment by bank card and encrypts all exchanges to guarantee confidentiality.

To benefit from the SSL secure payment mode, the Customer must imperatively use browsers compatible with the SSL system.

 VIII. DELIVERY

Delivery is understood as the transfer to the Customer of physical possession or control of the Product. It is made only after confirmation of payment by the banking institution of PALLAS Paris.

Place of delivery

The Products are delivered to the address indicated by the Customer when ordering. Any package returned to PALLAS Paris because of an incorrect or incomplete delivery address shall be reshipped at the Customer's expense.

The Customer may, at his/her request, obtain the sending of an invoice to the billing address and not to the delivery address, by validating the option provided at the time of the order.

Delivery time

Except in cases of force majeure or during periods when the online shop is closed, shipping times will be determined as follows.

Products are produced on order. The delivery time depends on the time needed and the volume of production of all the Products. It begins to run from the date of receipt of payment by PALLAS Paris.

When placing an order, the Customer will receive an information about the estimated delivery period, on the summary of the completed order and in the confirmation e-mail. These are indicative times, expressed in working days, corresponding to the average processing and delivery times.

In case of Pre-order, the delivery time will be extended.

If the Customers orders from the United Kingdom, delivery times may be extended due to Customs.

In any case, PALLAS Paris cannot be held responsible for the consequences due to a delay in delivery that is not of its making or due to an act of force majeure.

In the event of non-compliance with the agreed delivery date or deadline for any reason other than force majeure or the fault of the Client, the latter may:

Notify PALLAS Paris of the suspension of the payment of all or part of the price until it complies.Terminate the contract if, after having given notice to PALLAS Paris to carry out the delivery within a reasonable additional timeframe, the latter has not complied within this period (the contract will be considered terminated upon receipt by PALLAS Paris of a new letter informing it of this termination, unless the company has complied in the meantime).Immediately terminate the contract if (i) PALLAS Paris refuses to deliver the goods, or it is obvious that it will not do so, or (ii) the date or time of delivery constitutes for the Client an essential condition of the contract resulting from the circumstances surrounding the conclusion of the contract or from an express request by the Client before the conclusion of the contract.

PALLAS Paris shall reimburse all sums paid by the Client within 14 days of the cancellation of the contract.

Terms of delivery

Except under special conditions or when one or more Products are unavailable, the Products ordered are delivered in a single delivery.

In the event of a specific request from the Customer concerning the conditions of packaging or transport of the Products ordered, duly accepted in writing by PALLAS Paris, the related costs will be the subject of specific additional invoicing, based on an estimation previously accepted in writing by the Customer.

Delivery is deemed to have taken place as soon as the Products are handed over to the Customer by the carrier, as evidenced by the control system used by the carrier.

Damaged delivery - Delivery errors

The Customer is required to check the condition of the packaging and the conformity of the Product at the time of delivery.

If they have been damaged, the Customer may write a reservation on the delivery order (package refused because opened or damaged). The Customer must indicate on the delivery form and in the form of handwritten reserves accompanied by his/her signature any anomaly concerning the delivery (opened or damaged packaging, damage suffered, conformity with the order, missing Product, damaged Product, etc.). Any complaint concerning apparent defects or the non-conformity of the delivered Product in relation to the information given at the time of the presentation of the Product on the Site, as well as any damage linked to transport, must be confirmed by the Client to PALLAS Paris within 48 hours following receipt of the Product either by registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt to the following address : 5 rue Rougemont - 75009 Paris or by e-mail at the following address customercare@pallasparis.fr. 

The Customer shall provide any justification as to the reality of the non-conformities, damages or defects noted. Then, the Customer will receive a return authorization from PALLAS Paris, specifying the address and the terms of return of the Products. To be validly returned to PALLAS Paris and/or exchanged, the Products must not have been used and must be returned intact in their original packaging with any accessories and other documentation. Any Product returned without the agreement of PALLAS Paris will be refused and returned to the sender at the latter's expense and risk. If the default is confirmed by PALLAS Paris, the return costs will be covered by PALLAS Paris by reimbursing the Customer for the actual amount of the said costs (the proof of the shipping costs must be enclosed with the package; in the event of absence, no reimbursement may be demanded by the Customer) and a new Product will be sent.

This verification is considered to have been carried out once the Customer, or a person authorized by him, has signed the delivery form. In the absence of a claim made within the above-mentioned period and conditions, the Products delivered shall be deemed accepted by the Customer – but PALLAS Paris is still liable regarding legal guarantees.

Transfer of ownership - Transfer of risk

The transfer of ownership of the Products shall only take place after full payment of the price by the Customer, regardless of the delivery date.

All risk of loss or damage to the Products passes to the Customer at the time the Customer or a third party designated by him/her takes physical possession of the Products. Products therefore travel at the risk of PALLAS Paris.

The Customer is committed to take all necessary precautions to ensure the proper conservation of the Products, until the ownership / risks have not been transferred to him.

Follow-up

For any question relating to the follow-up of an order, the Customer shall call +33 1 83 75 05 55 (from Monday to Friday, 10 am – 1 pm and 2 pm to 6 pm) (cost of a local call).
