4 - Product availability

This clause does not apply to orders for Services prior to the supply of the Products, which automatically imply a lead time for the Order and appropriate availability of the Products, which will be indicated to the Customer before the Order is validated.

If the Products are ordered as is, or on the basis of an existing Product, AECOTEX GROUP SLU shall inform the Customer of the availability of the Products prior to the Order, and in particular whether the Product is in stock, in the process of being restocked or currently unavailable (for example in the event of a shortage of raw materials or accessories).

In the event of unavailability not foreseen prior to the Order, AECOTEX GROUP SLU shall inform the Customer of the replenishment period. If this period is longer than fifteen (15) calendar days, the Customer shall have the option of modifying the Order or cancelling it and obtaining a refund for the unavailable Products by the means of payment used at the time of the Order. This refund will be made within fourteen (14) days of the Customer's choice being taken into account.

5- Services

A - General information

AECOTEX GROUP SLU can create personalised designs at the Customer's request, without using the configurator. 

All Custom Design Orders are subject to prior validation by AECOTEX GROUP, and may be the subject of an estimate adapted to the content of the order.

If the order is accepted, AECOTEX GROUP SLU undertakes to perform the Services and supply the Deliverables, in accordance with these Terms and Conditions and under an obligation of means.

AECOTEX GROUP SLU may make its recommendations to the Customer and refuse to carry out any request from the Customer that it does not consider relevant to the purpose of the Service, without this constituting a breach of contract. This may, in particular, take the form of an Order cancellation with, where applicable, a refund of sums paid in advance for Services not performed.

B - Deliverables

The list of Deliverables expected as part of the Services shall be specified in the Order or by any other means expressing the written agreement of the Parties.

The Deliverables are considered validated by the Customer if no reservations are made within two (2) working days of their delivery. In the event of a reservation, the Parties will agree, where appropriate, on the corrections to be made.

C - Supply of elements by the Customer

The performance of the Services may be subject to the provision of elements and/or information by the Customer, to be included in the Deliverables.

Any delay or failure to provide these elements and information may make it impossible to perform the Services, but the latter shall remain payable in full, and the Parties may agree on the best way to resolve the problem. AECOTEX GROUP SLU shall not be held liable in this respect. Any additional Service, not initially provided for and necessary to correct the problem, shall be invoiced additionally to the Customer.

D - Subcontracting

It is agreed that AECOTEX GROUP SLU shall be free to call upon a subcontractor to perform the Services. 

AECOTEX GROUP SLU shall remain responsible for the performance of the subcontracted Services. 

6 - Delivery

A - Delivery terms

Delivery terms will be indicated on the Site and when the Order is placed.

The applicable delivery times will also be indicated.

Delivery shall be made, according to the Customer's choice, by one of the delivery service providers specified on the Site. If the Customer is offered the choice of a delivery service provider, AECOTEX GROUP SLU will make its best efforts to use that service provider, without being bound to do so.

B - Delivery costs

Delivery costs will be indicated before the Customer pays for an Order, and will be invoiced in addition to the price of the Products. Delivery costs are calculated on the basis of the order (quantity of Product, volumetric weight) and are assessed on a case-by-case basis in the Quotation or Order Form (depending on the type of transport chosen - express, normal, road, air, etc.).

C - Place of delivery

Orders can be dispatched anywhere in the world.

Delivery will be made to the place indicated by the Customer at the time of the Order, who must ensure that he/she has not made any errors in entering his/her place of delivery.

D - Customs

In the event 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 cases AECOTEX GROUP SLU may be materially unable to provide him with accurate information on the total amount of the charges relating to customs duties and formalities or import taxes applicable in the country where delivery of the Product is requested. 

Any tax not indicated during the Order process may be charged to the Customer by the country concerned, in accordance with the legislation applicable in the Customer's country.

AECOTEX GROUP SLU shall not be liable for any blocking or seizure by the customs authorities of the country to which the Product is to be delivered.

E - Delivery times

AECOTEX GROUP SLU shall use its best endeavours to deliver the Products within the time indicated in the Order, but the time depends on the transport provider and the order in which the order arrives. 

The Customer shall be notified by AECOTEX GROUP SLU of the dispatch date. It is the Customer's responsibility to ensure that the Order can be received by the Customer or any person present at the Customer's delivery address.

This delivery time indicated on acceptance of the order may vary according to the logistical time frame of reference in the profession, and in the event of force majeure, or in the event of circumstances beyond the control of AECOTEX GROUP SLU, such as strikes, frost, fire, storms, floods, epidemics, supply difficulties, without this list being exhaustive.

Exceeding delivery deadlines may not give rise to late penalties, damages, withholding or cancellation of the order by the Customer. AECOTEX GROUP SLU may not be held liable in this respect.

F - Transfer of ownership and risks

Ownership of the Products shall be transferred by AECOTEX GROUP SLU to the Customer upon full payment for the Products by the Customer. In this respect, if the Customer is the subject of receivership or liquidation proceedings, AECOTEX GROUP SLU reserves the right to claim, as part of the receivership proceedings, the Products sold and remaining unpaid.

Delivery may be made to the Customer or to any person present at the address indicated at the time of delivery.

Any risk of loss, theft or damage to the Product(s) is transferred to the Customer when the parcel containing the Products is sent by AECOTEX GROUP SLU. The Customer therefore bears the transport risks of the Products. 

G - Refusal of parcels

The Customer or the person receiving the Order may refuse a parcel at the time of delivery if they notice any anomaly concerning the delivery (damage, Product missing compared to the delivery note, damaged parcel, damaged Product, etc.).

Any anomaly must then be indicated on the delivery slip, in the form of handwritten reservations, accompanied by the signature of the Customer or the person receiving the Order. 

In order to exercise its right of refusal, the Customer or the person receiving the Order shall open the damaged or defective package(s) in the presence of the carrier and have the carrier take back the damaged goods. The Customer may also send any reservations to AECOTEX GROUP SLU within three (3) days of delivery. 

The Products making up the Order may not be used until the Order has been returned.

Any reservations must include the following information: the order number, the item reference, the colour and the quantities, accompanied by photos showing the defects.

On the basis of the elements sent, AECOTEX GROUP SLU shall proceed to verify the defects and may then give a return authorisation for the Products that AECOTEX GROUP SLU recognises as defective. These Products may be returned. Other Products may not be returned.

Any damaged Product with a return authorisation must be returned to AECOTEX GROUP SLU within eight (8) days from the date of the return authorisation. Failing this, no returns will be accepted.

If the Customer fails to comply with these requirements, it will not be able to exercise its right of refusal, and AECOTEX GROUP SLU will not be obliged to comply with the Customer's request to exercise its right of refusal.

If the Customer's parcel is returned to AECOTEX GROUP SLU, AECOTEX GROUP SLU shall contact the Customer upon receipt of the returned parcel to ask the Customer what action to take on the Order. 

If AECOTEX GROUP SLU or the person receiving the Order has mistakenly refused the parcel, it may request that it be returned, subject to prior payment of the postal charges for the new shipment. The postal charges shall be paid by the Customer.

H - Returning parcels

In the event of a parcel being returned to AECOTEX GROUP SLU for any reason whatsoever through the fault of the Customer (in particular in the event of an incomplete delivery address, failure to collect the parcel, a missing note on the letterbox, etc.), the reshipment of the Products shall be conditional upon payment by the Customer of the relevant new delivery charges. 

The Products shall not be returned until AECOTEX GROUP SLU has received full payment of the new delivery charges.

I - Loss by the carrier

AECOTEX GROUP SLU shall not be held liable for any indirect or immaterial damage or loss, whatever the cause, arising from the loss of or damage to the Customer's shipment by the carrier, nor for any direct or indirect financial consequences resulting therefrom.

7 - Warranty

The Products marketed by AECOTEX GROUP SLU are subject to the legal guarantees set out in articles 1641 to 1649 of the Civil Code (guarantee against hidden defects).

In order to apply these guarantees, the Customer must notify AECOTEX GROUP SLU of the defects in the Product, including a detailed explanation of the problem encountered.

If the complaint relates to a latent defect, the Customer may, at his or her discretion :

• Or be delivered a Product of equivalent quality and price.

• Or be reimbursed for the price of the Product Ordered within fourteen (14) days of confirmation of the defect by AECOTEX GROUP SLU.

The Customer has a period of two (2) years from the date of the Order to make use of this guarantee.

This warranty is also excluded if the Product has been used by the Customer prior to the warranty claim.

The cost of delivery of a new Product shall be borne by AECOTEX GROUP SLU.

In the event of the guarantee being invoked, the Customer must contact customer services at the e-mail address given in these GTCS.

10 - Prices and payment terms

A - Prices

Unless otherwise stated in writing, the prices shown on the Site's pages may be understood to be in euros exclusive of tax (excluding VAT), to which the VAT applicable on the date of the Order will be added, or inclusive of all taxes (including VAT), to which the VAT applicable on the date of the Order will be added and excluding any contribution to processing, dispatch and transport costs.

For information purposes, and insofar as AECOTEX GROUP SLU is an entity registered in Andorra :

Two VAT regimes may apply:

• One Stop Shop (OSS) for domestic sales from the EU to the EU

• Import One Stop Shop (IOSS) for imports from all countries outside the EU into the EU

Here's how VAT is applied if the Order is processed in the EU and the delivery address is in the EU: 

If the Customer is not registered as a VAT payer (B2C), the VAT rate of the destination country is applied. 

If the Customer is registered as a VAT payer (B2B) in an EU country, VAT is charged at 0 % (reverse charge).

Here is how VAT is applied if the Order is placed from a country outside the EU and the delivery address is within the EU: 

If the Customer is registered for VAT and the price of the products in the order exceeds €150, VAT will be charged at 0 %. 

If the price is below this threshold, the VAT rate of the destination country applies. 

If the Customer is registered as a VAT payer in any country, VAT is charged at 0 % (reverse charge).

The price indicated on the Site does not include delivery charges, which are payable by the Customer in addition to the price.

In the event of special requests by the Customer concerning, for example, the packaging conditions or the transport of the Products ordered, duly accepted in writing by AECOTEX GROUP SLU, the costs generated by these services shall be subject to specific additional invoicing, in accordance with special conditions.

AECOTEX GROUP SLU reserves the right to pass on any change in the VAT rate.

AECOTEX GROUP SLU also reserves the right to modify its prices at any time. Nevertheless, the price indicated on the day of the Order shall be the only price applicable to the Customer.

The price is net and without discount. The prices quoted include any discounts and rebates that AECOTEX GROUP SLU may grant on the basis of its results or the assumption by the Customer of certain services.

B - Payment

The Customer may pay by credit card, Paypal or bank transfer. The Customer guarantees AECOTEX GROUP SLU that he/she is the holder of the means of payment used to pay for the Order and that he/she has sufficient funds to cover payment of the Order in full.

Unless AECOTEX GROUP SLU specifically agrees otherwise, the Order shall not be deemed to have been placed until payment has been received in full by AECOTEX GROUP SLU.

Payment will be debited when the Customer confirms the Order.

In the event of AECOTEX GROUP SLU being unable, for any reason whatsoever, to debit or collect the sums due in settlement of the Order, the Order may be cancelled, without prejudice to any damages that AECOTEX GROUP SLU may claim as compensation for its loss.

Credit card payments are made using secure transactions provided by a state-of-the-art payment service provider (Stripe).

AECOTEX GROUP SLU does not have access to any data relating to the Customer's means of payment, with the exception of the last digits of the Customer's bank card. Payment is made directly to the bank or payment service provider receiving the Customer's payment. 

C - Late payment

Any late payment may give rise to the invoicing of late payment penalties, from the first day of delay, without any prior formal notice being required. The rate of these penalties is equal to ten (10) % of the sale price per calendar day of delay. A sum of forty (40) euros may also be invoiced for recovery costs.

The invoicing of late payment interest and administrative collection costs shall not prevent AECOTEX GROUP SLU, at its discretion, from instituting legal proceedings in order to obtain additional damages.

In the event of a payment incident, AECOTEX GROUP SLU reserves the right to cancel the Order immediately and without formal notice, without the Customer being able to claim any compensation or incur any liability on the part of AECOTEX GROUP SLU.
