Article 6 - DELIVERY - DUTIES - RECEPTION

6.1 Delivery

Before validating the Order, the Company will provide the Customer with information concerning the different delivery methods and their respective prices. Once the Client has chosen the delivery method, the Company will provide the Client with an estimated delivery time.

The Company will do its utmost to ensure that the Product(s) is (are) delivered no later than the scheduled delivery date. In the event of any difficulty, the Company undertakes to contact the Customer promptly to inform him/her of the problem and to work with him/her to find an appropriate solution.

Air transport, shipping and/or delivery of the Product(s) will be fully paid for by the Customer ("Delivery Costs"). These delivery costs are included in the final price invoiced to the Customer when the Order is placed. However, any customs duties are not included in the price invoiced to the Customer by the Company.

Depending on the method chosen by the Customer, delivery will be made either to the address given by the Customer or, where applicable, to a relay point chosen by the Customer from the list of available points. It is therefore the Customer's responsibility to check the details provided for delivery, as the Customer alone remains responsible in the event of non-delivery due to incomplete or erroneous information.

6.2 Customs clearance

At the time of purchase, the Customer buys the product free of tax and becomes the importer of the product purchased in his capacity as recipient of the Product.

The Customer is therefore responsible for the import and customs clearance of the Product with the local customs offices. Depending on the price of the order, the Customer may be asked to pay customs duties (for Products with a customs value of more than €150).

The Customer is solely responsible for declaring customs duties when clearing the Product through customs. These customs duties, which are not invoiced to the Customer by the Company, are not the responsibility of the Company. The Company may not therefore be required to reimburse these duties.

6.3. Receipt

Upon receipt of the Product, the Client undertakes to check that the Product is complete and undamaged.

If an anomaly is found, the Customer must contact the Company's Customer Service Department within three days (excluding public holidays) of receiving the Product. Any complaint submitted after this time will not be processed.
