§ 2 Delivery

When the customer is a professional, the delivery is systematically carried out at the risk of the customer. This also applies to partial deliveries. If the customer is a consumer, the risk of accidental loss and accidental deterioration of the goods sold, also in mail order purchases, only passes to the customer when the goods are handed over. The transfer of risks takes place upon delivery, even when the customer is late in receiving the goods. The goods are delivered to the delivery address indicated by the customer. The prices are cash prices (not subject to VAT), plus any packaging and transport costs. In the event of delivery to foreign countries (outside the EEC), additional taxes and customs duties may be invoiced to the customer by the competent services. Upon receipt, the goods must be immediately submitted for examination by the customer or his representative, in order to ascertain any damage that has occurred during transport. Upon receipt, the customer must report and have the transport company confirm in writing the visible damage as well as the packaging damaged during transport. Any subsequent complaint may be considered null and void.

§ 3 Statutory right of withdrawal

Right to retract Insofar as the customer is a consumer, and is domiciled in a member state of the EEC, he has the right to withdraw from this contract within fourteen days without giving reasons. The withdrawal period is fourteen days from the day on which the customer or a third party appointed by him and not constituting the carrier, has received the last goods. To exercise this right of withdrawal, the customer must inform us (Gaël Rouxeville, 25 Saint Léon, 22460 Merléac, France, telephone: +33-628-525-243, e-mail: contact@gaelrouxeville.fr), by means of an unequivocal notification (eg by post or e-mail) of its decision to withdraw from this contract. To do this, he can use the standard withdrawal form provided by the French state (link: https://www.service-public.fr/professionnels-entreprises/vosdroits/R38397) which, however, is not mandatory. The withdrawal period is respected when the customer sends his notification of withdrawal before the expiry of the required period.

Consequences of withdrawal

If the customer withdraws from this contract, we are obliged to refund immediately, at the latest within fourteen days from the day on which we received the notification of revocation of this contract, all payments, including shipping costs ( with the exception of additional costs resulting from the customer's request for a method of delivery other than the cheapest standard delivery offered by us) that we have received from the customer. For this reimbursement, we use the same payment method used by the customer in the original transaction, unless expressly agreed otherwise; under no circumstances will fees be charged to the customer as part of the refund. We can refuse reimbursement until we have returned to possession of the goods. In all cases, the customer is obliged to return or hand over the goods to us no later than fourteen days after the day on which he notified us of his withdrawal from the contract. This deadline is respected when the customer sends the goods before the expiry of the fourteen-day period. The costs of returning the goods are the sole responsibility of the customer, who may use the carrier of his choice. The responsibility of the customer is engaged with regard to a possible depreciation of the goods resulting from manipulations other than those necessary to ensure the nature and the good functioning of the goods. Similarly, the responsibility of the customer is engaged with regard to any depreciation of the goods resulting from the return (defect of packaging, error of address, etc.). In this respect, the customer is strongly advised to use quality packaging (for example the initial packaging if it is in good condition), and to take out appropriate insurance with the carrier.

Exclusion of the right of withdrawal

The right of withdrawal does not apply in the event of: delivery of goods that are not prefabricated and made to the consumer's specifications or explicitly to meet the consumer's personal needs, delivery of sealed goods which cannot, for reasons of hygiene or health protection, be returned once they have been unsealed after delivery, delivery of audio or video recordings or software in sealed packaging when the packaging has been unsealed after delivery, delivery of newspapers, periodicals or illustrated, with the exception of subscription contracts.

The legal guarantee of conformity applies independently of any commercial guarantee granted. The consumer can decide to implement the guarantee against hidden defects of the thing sold within the meaning of article 1641 of the civil code. In this case, he can choose between the resolution of the sale or a reduction of the sale price in accordance with article 1644 of the civil code. For any commercial guarantees, please consult the Gaël Rouxeville website. If the customer is a professional, a minor defect does not give rise to take-back rights. Gaël Rouxeville has the choice of the mode of execution of the repair or compensation, the limitation period does not start to run again if the replacement delivery is carried out within the framework of the legal liability for defects. If the customer is a professional, the limitation of liability clauses and the aforementioned prescription periods do not apply to the obligations for damages and reimbursement that they may assert in accordance with the legal provisions relating to product defects within the meaning of § 8. If the goods are delivered with obvious transport damage, the consumer customer is asked to claim these defects from the carrier and to inform Gaël Rouxeville as soon as possible.
