Modality of subscription orders and purchasing process overview In order to comply with the provisions of the Act of trust in the digital economy of 21 June 2004, the ordering process will be described hereinafter: to place an order, Internet users will be able to select one or more objects and add them to their shopping cart. When their order is complete, they will be able to access their shopping cart by clicking on the button provided for this purpose. By viewing their cart, members shall have the right to verify the number and the nature of the items they have chosen and will be able to check their unit price and the total price of the order. They will be able to remove one or more objects from their shopping cart. If they are satisfied with their order and wish to validate it, users will be able to click on the validate button. They will then have access to a form in which they can either enter their login credentials if they already have them, to register on the website by completing the form that is presented with personal information about them. Once they are logged in or after they have fully completed the form, customers will be invited to check or modify their delivery and billing details, and then they will be invited to make payment by being redirected to the secure payment interface. Once the payment is actually received by the site’s publisher, the latter undertakes to acknowledge receipt to the customer electronically, within a maximum period of 24 hours. Similarly and within the same timeframe, the publisher undertakes to send the customer an e-mail summary of the order and a processing confirmation. It will also contain all information relating to the order, the products ordered, delivery, as well as the procedures for exercising their right of withdrawal. The prices indicated on the site are expressed in Euros, including tax for intra-community deliveries, excluding tax for EU deliveries, and excluding delivery costs. These prices may be changed at any time by the publisher; prices are only valid on the day of the order and do not carry effect for the future. Delivery charges will be, in any event, indicated to the client before any payment. Products and articles sold remain the property of the seller until full payment of their price, in accordance with the ownership reserve clause. Product availability is indicated on the website on each item’s description page.

Information related to payment
The
internet user may place an order on the website, and he may make payment using
a bank card or PayPal.
Bank card payments are made using a means of secure transactions furnished by
the provider: BNP PARIBAS.
As related to bank card payments, the website publisher has no access to
information related to the user’s method of payment. Payment is made directly
to the bank establishment.
Delivery time defined in the article below only begins on the date the payment
is received by the seller, and the latter can prove it using any method.
|

Delivery or provision Orders are delivered by La Poste, TNT, or another carrier chosen by the seller. Products are delivered to the address indicated by the consumer on the order, only in the areas serviced by the seller. The delivery time is on average 3 days after the package departure notice. Certain products or certain order volumes may justify a delay in delivery greater than 3 working days. It will be brought to the consumer’s attention during order validation. As with all shipping, delays or lost products are possible. In such a case, the website publisher will contact the carrier to begin an investigation. Every effort will be made to find the package. In the event that the package is not delivered within 15 days after the package’s departure, an identical product may be sent or the purchaser may request a refund of his order. We disclaim all responsibility when deliveries are delayed as a result of the carrier, in the event of product loss, weather, or a strike.

Delivery problems as a result of the carrier
Any anomaly concerning delivery (damage, a missing product
compared to the delivery order, a damaged parcel, broken products...) must be
indicated on the delivery note in the form of "handwritten reserves",
accompanied by the customer’s signature.
At the same time, the consumer must confirm this anomaly by addressing it with
the carrier within (2) two business days following the delivery date in an
email, and acknowledgement of receipt exposing such claims is recommended.
The consumer must transmit a copy of this email to the SELLER’S ADDRESS.
Without this statement, we will not proceed with any exchange.

|
|
Delivery Errors
On the same day as the delivery, or no later than one
business day after delivery, the consumer must make any delivery error
complaint and/or non-conformity of products in kind or in quality compared to
the indications mentioned on the order form to the SELLER.
Beyond this period, any claim will be rejected.
The formulation of this claim to the seller may be made to
the seller's address.
Any claim not performed within
the rules defined above or within the time limits will not be taken into
account and shall relieve seller of any liability towards the consumer.
In case of delivery error or exchange error, any product for exchange or refund
must be returned to the seller as a whole, in its original packaging in perfect
condition, to the seller's address. To be accepted, any return will have to be
reported and have the seller’s consent, which if agreed will re-ship the
package to the correct address.
Shipping costs are borne by the seller, except in the case where it will prove
that the product does not correspond to the original declaration made by the
consumer on the return notice.

Provisions related to consumer’s rights
The website’s
customer service is accessible from Monday to Friday from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM at
the following non-premium rate telephone number: +33(0)1 0141144527, or by email at the
following address [email protected], or by mail at the following address:
LJCInternational, Customer Service, 21 rue Gardenat Lapostol, 92150 Suresnes - France. In
the last two cases, the publisher commits to provide a response within 2
days.
In accordance with the legislation in force, consumers have a period of 14 days
from the date a package is received to request an exchange or refund. In order
to exercise this right, it is their responsibility to return (at their expense)
the parcel in its original packaging, to the address of the company’s
headquarters: YOA International, After-sales Service, 21 rue Gardenat Lapostol, 92150 Suresnes - France, accompanied with a letter requesting either a refund or an
exchange. The refund will take place as soon as possible and at the latest
within 15 days following the date of the withdrawal.
Products must be returned in their entirety, in their original, complete and
intact packaging, and in a perfect state of resale. Any product that has been
damaged, or whose original packaging is damaged will be neither reimbursed, nor
accepted back, nor exchanged. This right of withdrawal is exerted without
penalty, except for the return shipping costs. In the event a consumer
exercises his right of withdrawal, he has the choice to ask for either refund
of sums paid or a product exchange. In the case of an exchange, re-shipping
will be at the consumer’s expense.
In accordance with the provisions of articles L121-20
and additions from the Consumer Code, you can under no circumstances exercise a
right of withdrawal for the following products:
·
goods whose price depends on
fluctuations in financial market rates
·
goods made according to the
consumer's specifications or clearly personalized or which, because of their
nature, cannot be re-shipped or are likely to deteriorate or expire rapidly
·
audio or video recordings or
computer software if they are unsealed by the consumer
·
newspapers, periodicals or
magazines
Any delay in delivery may lead to the resolution of the
sale at the initiative of the consumer, upon written request from on his part.
The consumer will then be refunded the sums paid by him when he placed the
order. This clause is not intended to apply if the delay in delivery is a
result of a case of force majeure, beyond the publisher’s control. In such
cases, the customer agrees to not pursue legal action against the site or its publisher
and renounces to avail themselves of the resolution of the sale provided for in
this article.

Guarantee for products purchased on the website
In the event a product
purchased on this site is defective, customers have, in accordance with the
provisions of the civil code on the legal guarantee against hidden defects, a
period of two years from finding the said defect to ask for an exchange or
refund of the product, and, in the application of Article L211-5 of the
Consumer Code they will have a period of two years from the receipt of the said
product for an exchange or a refund in the event the delivered good is not
suitable, in the sense of the meaning given to that word by the aforementioned
article. In order to exercise any of these rights, it is their responsibility
to return the parcel to the company’s headquarters address: YOA International,
After-sales Service, 21 rue Gardenat Lapostol, 92150 Suresnes - France, accompanied by a
letter of explanation requesting either a refund or an exchange. The cost of
sending the package, in the latter case only, will then be refunded to the
customer by check or by wire transfer, within a maximum period of thirty days.
Objects purchased on this site have a conventional guarantee offered by the seller.
The duration of the guarantee is likely to vary depending on the product and
will be detailed on each item’s product page. This guarantee is in addition to the guarantee against latent defects
defined by the Civil Code as well as the guarantee of good compliance imposed
by Article L211-5 of the Consumer Code which is, when required, still
applicable and defined above.
The consumer is specifically informed that the seller is not the
manufacturer of the products presented on the site, unless information to the
contrary is stated, and that the seller disclaims any liability for defective
products.
Consequently,
in case damage is caused to a person or property by failure of the product,
only the manufacturer’s liability may be sought by the consumer on the basis of
the information contained on the packaging of said product.
The warranty period is one year (1 year). All products modified or repaired by
the customer or by any entity other than the providers chosen by the seller are
excluded from this guarantee.
The guarantee may be extended according to the terms specified on the website.

Member space
Creation of a personal space is a
prerequisite for any user to place an order on this site. To this end, the
member will be asked to provide certain personal information. The member
commits to providing accurate information, or he may be subject to cancellation
of the contract and deletion of the customer account by the publisher. Some
information will be deemed essential to enter into the contract, and collecting
it may be necessary to create a personal space and validate the contract. A
member’s refusal to provide such information will prevent the creation of a
personal space and as a result, validation of the order.
This space allows the customer or member to view all his orders on the website,
and also, where appropriate, allows him to track delivery of the purchased
goods.
If the information contained in the personal space disappears as a result of
unforeseeable circumstances, technical failure, or a force majeure event, the
site’s publisher may not be held liable, as this information has no probative
value and is for informational purposes only. However, the publisher commits to
secure all contractual elements required by the act or by regulations in force.
Personal space pages are freely printable by the account holder in question,
but they do not constitute evidence. They are for informational purposes only
and are intended to ensure that the customer can effectively manage orders.
When creating the personal space, the user is prompted to choose a password.
This password guarantees the confidentiality of the information contained in
the 'My Account' section, and the user is therefore prohibited from
transmitting or communicating it to a third party. Otherwise, the website
cannot be held liable for any unauthorized access to the user's account.
The publisher reserves the exclusive right to delete the account of any member
who breaches these terms and conditions (including but not limited to a member
knowingly providing false information when registering and creating his
personal space) or any account that has been inactive for at least a year. This
deletion is not likely to constitute damage to the excluded member, and the
member will not be able to claim compensation as such.
This exclusion does not prevent the publisher from pursuing judicial
prosecution against the member when the facts justify such action.

commercial offers from the site’s publisher for products and services similar

Publisher’s
exemption from liability in executing this contract
In the event the site is
inaccessible due to technical problems or any other type, the user or the
customer will not be entitled to damages nor claim any compensation.
In the event a package is delivered that is clearly and visibly damaged, it is
the customer’s responsibility to refuse it, in order to take advantage of the
guarantee offered by the carrier. The customer must also inform the seller as
quickly as possible, so a new package can be prepared for him. Then the new
package will be shipped as soon as the damaged package is returned. In such
case, delivery periods indicated above in these terms and conditions shall no
longer apply.
The unavailability of one or more products, even over an extended period
without any limitation, cannot constitute harm to users and may not give rise
to awarding damages and interest from the site or its publisher.
The visual representations of products published on this site are guaranteed by
the publisher as perfectly faithful to reality, in order to meet the site’s obligation
of providing correct information. However, with the state of current
technology, the rendering of these representations, especially in terms of
color or shape, may significantly vary from one computer to another, or differ
from reality according to the quality of on-screen graphics or the screen
display resolution. These variations and differences may in no event be
attributed to the publisher, who may not, in any case be held liable for such.
The hypertext links on this site may send users to other internet sites, and
the site publisher cannot be held liable if the content of these sites violates
legislation in force. Similarly, this site’s publisher cannot be held liable if
the user’s visit to one of these sites causes any harm.

property rights related to items published on this site
All elements comprising this site belong to the publisher and as such are
protected by intellectual property legislation.
Therefore, users recognize that, without authorization, any total or partial
copy and dissemination or use of one or more of these items, even modified,

Various clauses
These general terms and
conditions are subject to the application of French law.
These general terms and conditions may be modified at any time by the site
publisher or a representative. The general terms applicable to the user are
those in force on the day he logs in and/or places an order on this site. The
publisher obviously commits to maintain all former general terms and to send
them to any user that requests them.
Except for public policy provisions, all disputes that may arise in the
execution of these general terms may be subject to this site publisher’s
amicable settlement before any
legal action takes place. Express
reminder is given that any request for an amicable settlement does not set
aside the deadlines fixed for instigating legal action.
If one of the clauses of these general terms were to be declared void by a
court decision, this nullification cannot cause all other clauses to be void.
They would remain in effect.
The fact for the publisher to not temporarily or permanently prevail on one or
more clauses of these general terms does not in any way comprise a waiver to
prevail on the rest of the general terms.
