ARTICLE 5 - DELIVERIES

The delivery costs will be indicated to the Customer before any payment. The Site has no geographical limitation of delivery, orders can be shipped anywhere in the world.

In case of delivery of a Product outside the territory of the European Union and in the French overseas departments and territories, the Customer declares himself to be the importer of the Product and accepts that in such a case the Seller may not be able to provide him with accurate information on the total amount of the costs relating to customs duties and formalities or import taxes applicable in the country where the delivery of the Product is requested.

Unless otherwise stated on the Site during the ordering process or in the description of the Products ordered, the Seller undertakes in all cases to deliver the Products within a maximum of thirty (30) days after the conclusion of the contract with a Consumer Customer.

The Customer may refuse a package at the time of delivery if he/she notices an anomaly concerning the delivery (damage, missing Product compared to the delivery slip, damaged package, broken Products...); any anomaly must then be indicated by the Customer on the delivery slip, in the form of handwritten reserves, accompanied by the Customer's signature. In order to exercise his right of refusal, the Customer must open the damaged or defective package(s) in the presence of the carrier and have the carrier take back the damaged goods. If the Customer fails to comply with these instructions, the Customer shall not be entitled to exercise its right of refusal, and the Seller shall not be obliged to grant the Customer's request to exercise its right of refusal.

If Customer's package is returned to Seller by the Postal Service or other postal service, Seller shall contact Customer upon receipt of the returned package to ask Customer what action to take on the order. If the Customer has mistakenly refused the parcel, he may request that it be returned by first paying the postal charges for the new shipment. The postal charges must be paid even for orders for which the shipping costs were offered at the time of the order.

In case of delivery error or exchange (if the right of withdrawal is applicable, i.e. if the Customer is a Consumer and the contract concluded to acquire the Product or Service allows withdrawal, according to article L.221-18 and following of the Consumer Code), any product to be exchanged or refunded must be returned to the Seller in its entirety and in perfect condition. Any defect resulting from a clumsiness or a false maneuver of the Customer could not be imputed to the Salesman.

Any delay of delivery compared to the date or to the deadline indicated to the Consumer Customer at the time of its order or, in the absence of indication of date or deadline at the time of the order, higher than thirty (30) days as from the conclusion of the contract can involve the resolution of the sale at the initiative of the Consumer Customer, on written request of its share by registered letter with acknowledgement of delivery, if after having enjoined the Salesman to carry out the delivery it did not carry out. The Consumer Customer will then be refunded, at the latest in the fourteen (14) days following the date on which the contract was denounced, of the totality of the paid sums. The present clause does not apply if the delay in delivery is due to a case of force majeure.

ARTICLE 6 - RIGHT OF WITHDRAWAL AND WITHDRAWAL FORM

In accordance with article L.221-18 of the French Consumer Code, and if the right of withdrawal is applicable, the Consumer Customer has a period of fourteen (14) working days from the date of receipt of the Product of his order or the conclusion of the contract for services, to withdraw. The Customer must return any Product that does not suit him/her and request an exchange or refund without penalty, except for the cost of returning the Product, within fourteen (14) days of TRUE The Argan Company's receipt of the refund request.

The Product must be returned in perfect condition. If necessary, it must be accompanied by all its accessories. The Consumer Customer can find below a standard withdrawal form for an order placed on the Site, to be sent to TRUE The Argan Company. It is understood that the Customer will bear the cost of returning the Product in case of withdrawal, as well as the cost of returning the Product if it, due to its nature, cannot normally be returned by post.

If the above obligations are not fulfilled, the Customer will lose his right of withdrawal and the Product will be returned at his expense.

It is recommended to the Customer to make the return by a solution allowing a follow-up of the parcel. Otherwise, if the returned package does not reach the Seller, it will not be possible to launch an investigation with the postal services in order to ask them to locate it.

Refunds will be made using the same method of payment chosen by the Customer for the initial transaction, unless the Customer expressly agrees that the Seller may use another method of payment, and insofar as the refund does not incur any costs for the Customer.

Seller also reserves the right to defer the refund until receipt of the Product or until Customer has demonstrated that it has shipped the Product, if such demonstration has not previously occurred.

In case of depreciation of the Products resulting from handling other than that necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and proper functioning of the Product(s), the Customer's liability may be incurred.

In accordance with Article L221-5 of the Consumer Code, ("Hamon Law") of June 2014, the Consumer Customer can find below a standard withdrawal form for an order placed on the site:

ARTICLE 7 - PRODUCT WARRANTY

LEGAL PROVISIONS TO BE REPRODUCED

When acting under the legal warranty of conformity, the consumer has a period of two years from the delivery of the good to act; he may choose between repair or replacement of the good, subject to the conditions of cost provided for in Article L.217-9 of the Consumer Code; except for second-hand goods, he is exempt from proving the existence of the lack of conformity of the good during the six months following the delivery of the good, a period extended to 24 months as of 18 March 2016.

The legal guarantee of conformity applies independently of any commercial guarantee that may have been granted.

The consumer may decide to implement the warranty against hidden defects of the thing sold within the meaning of Article 1641 of the Civil Code, unless the seller has stipulated that he will not be obliged to any warranty; in the event of the implementation of this warranty, the buyer has the choice between the resolution of the sale or a reduction in the sale price in accordance with Article 1644 of the Civil Code. He has a period of two years from the discovery of the defect.

The postponement, the suspension or the interruption of the prescription cannot have the effect of carrying the extinctive prescription period beyond twenty years as from the day of the birth of the right in accordance with article 2232 of the Civil code.

All the articles acquired on the present site profit from the following legal guarantees, envisaged by the Civil code;

LEGAL WARRANTY OF CONFORMITY

According to articles L.217-4 and following of the French Consumer Code, the Seller is required to deliver goods that conform to the contract concluded with the Consumer Customer and to respond to any defects in conformity that exist during delivery of the Product. The guarantee of conformity may be exercised if a defect existed on the day the Product was taken into possession. However, when the defect appeared within 24 months of this date (or within 6 months if the order took place before March 18, 2016 or the Product is sold second-hand), it is presumed to meet this condition. But, in accordance with Article L.217-7 of the Consumer Code, "the Seller may rebut this presumption if it is not compatible with the nature of the [Product] or the claimed lack of conformity".

On the other hand, after this 24-month period (or 6 months if the order took place before March 18, 2016 or the product is sold second-hand), it will be up to the Customer to prove that the defect did exist at the time of taking possession of the Product.

In accordance with Article L.217-9 of the Consumer Code: "in case of lack of conformity the buyer chooses between repair and replacement of the good. However, the seller may not proceed according to the buyer's choice if this choice entails a cost that is clearly disproportionate to the other method, given the value of the goods or the importance of the defect. He is then obliged to proceed, unless this is impossible, according to the method not chosen by the buyer.

LEGAL WARRANTY AGAINST HIDDEN DEFECTS

According to articles 1641 to 1649 of the Civil Code, the Customer may request the exercise of the warranty against hidden defects if the defects presented did not appear at the time of purchase, were prior to the purchase (and therefore do not result from normal wear and tear of the Product for example) and are sufficiently serious (the defect must either render the Product unfit for the purpose for which it was intended, or diminish that purpose to such an extent that the purchaser would not have purchased the Product or would not have purchased it at such a price had he known of the defect).

Claims, requests for exchange or refund for a non-compliant Product must be made by mail or email to the addresses indicated in the legal notices of the site.

In case of non-conformity of a delivered Product, it can be returned to the Seller who will exchange it. In case of impossibility of exchange of the Product (obsolete Product, out of stock, etc.) the Customer will be refunded by check or transfer of the amount of his order. The costs of the exchange or refund procedure (in particular the cost of returning the Product) shall be borne by the Seller.

The total or partial impossibility of using the Products, in particular due to incompatibility of the equipment, shall not give rise to any compensation, reimbursement or liability on the part of the Vendor, except in the case of a proven hidden defect, non-conformity, defect or exercise of the right of withdrawal, if applicable, i.e. if the Customer is not a Consumer and the contract concluded to acquire the Product or Service allows for withdrawal, in accordance with Article L 221-18 et seq. of the French Consumer Code.

The Site provides the Customer with information for information purposes only, with imperfections, errors, omissions, inaccuracies and other ambivalences that may exist.

ARTICLE 11 - INDEPENDENCE OF CLAUSES

If any provision of the T&Cs is held to be illegal, void or for any other reason unenforceable, then such provision shall be deemed severable from the T&Cs and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions.

A printed version of the GTC and all notices given in electronic form may be requested in judicial or administrative proceedings relating to the GTC. The parties agree that all correspondence relating to these GTC shall be in the French language.
