This contract is governed by French law and distance selling regulations.
Article 1. Purpose
These terms and conditions of sale aim to define the contractual relationship between CARTOPOLO and the buyer and the conditions applicable to any purchase made through the website www.cartopolo.fr. The acquisition of a product through this website implies the buyer's unreserved acceptance of these terms and conditions of sale, which the buyer acknowledges having read prior to placing their order.
Before any transaction, the buyer declares on the one hand that the purchase of products on the website www.cartopolo.fr is unrelated to their professional activity and is limited to strictly personal use and, on the other hand, that they have full legal capacity, allowing them to enter into these general terms and conditions of sale.
CARTOPOLO reserves the right to modify these terms and conditions of sale at any time, in order to comply with any new regulations or to improve the use of its website. Therefore, the applicable conditions will be those in force on the date the buyer places their order.
Article 2. Products
The products offered are those listed on the website www.cartopolo.fr, subject to available stock.
CARTOPOLO reserves the right to modify the product range at any time. Each product is presented on the website with a description detailing its main technical characteristics (material, dimensions, frame, etc.).
The images are as faithful as possible but do not bind CARTOPOLO in any way.
Article 3. Prices
The prices shown on the product pages of the online catalog are prices in Euros (€) including all taxes (TTC), taking into account the VAT applicable on the date of the order. Any change in the VAT rate may be reflected in the price of the products.
CARTOPOLO reserves the right to modify its prices at any time, although it is understood that the price shown in the catalog on the date of the order will be the only one applicable to the buyer. The prices indicated do not include delivery costs, which are charged in addition to the price of the purchased products according to the total amount of the order and the destination country.
For sales outside France, the VAT of the destination country applies according to the legal rate in force in the country concerned.
Article 4. Order and payment terms
To place an order, the buyer must enter their personal information or create an account on the website www.cartopolo.fr. The account creation section is accessible via the ACCOUNT button in the top banner. On each visit, the buyer, if they wish to order or view their account (order status, profile, etc.), must log in using this information.
CARTOPOLO offers the buyer the option to order and pay for their products by credit card through the secure SHOPIFY interface: the buyer selects the products they wish to order in the "cart", modifies them if necessary (quantities, references, etc.), checks the delivery address or enters a new one.
Then, the shipping costs are calculated and presented to the buyer. The buyer has a choice between three COLISSIMO delivery methods, each with a specific rate.
Next, they can securely enter their payment information. If the payment is accepted, the order is registered and the contract is definitively formed.
The confirmation of an order implies acceptance of these terms and conditions of sale, acknowledgment of full knowledge thereof, and waiver of the right to rely on their own purchasing conditions. All data provided and the recorded confirmation will serve as proof of the transaction. If the buyer has an email address and has entered it on their order, CARTOPOLO will send them an email confirming that their order has been registered.
If the buyer wishes to contact CARTOPOLO, they can do so either by mail at the following address: 116 rue Notre Dame 33300 Bordeaux, France; or via the form available at the bottom of the www.cartopolo.fr website by clicking on "Write to us".
