It is recalled that in the context of the legal guarantee of conformity, the Customer: - has a period of two years from the delivery of the goods to take action against the Seller; - may choose between repair or replacement of the Product ordered, subject to the cost conditions provided for in Article L 217-9 of the French Consumer Code; - is exempt from having to provide proof of the existence of the Product's lack of conformity during the six months following delivery of the Product. This period is extended to 24 months from March 18, 2016, except for second-hand goods.

The Customer may decide to implement the warranty against hidden defects of the Product in accordance with Article 1641 of the Civil Code; in this case, the Customer may choose between cancellation of the sale or a reduction of the sale price in accordance with 1644 of the Civil Code.

In order to assert its rights, the Customer must inform the Seller, in writing, of the non-conformity of the Products within a maximum period of 14 days from the delivery of the Products or the existence of hidden defects within the above-mentioned periods and return or bring back to the store the defective Products in the state in which they were received with all the elements (accessories, packaging, instructions, etc.).

Reimbursement shall be made by crediting the Customer's bank account or by bank check sent to the Customer.

The Seller shall not be held liable in the following cases: failure to comply with the legislation of the country in which the products are delivered, which it is the Customer's responsibility to check, in the event of misuse, use for professional purposes, negligence or lack of maintenance on the part of the Customer, such as in the event of normal wear and tear of the Product, accident or force majeure.

The Seller's warranty is, in any event, limited to the replacement or reimbursement of Products that do not conform or are affected by a defect.

 

ARTICLE 9 - Data Processing and Liberties

In application of the law 78-17 of January 6, 1978, it is recalled that the personal data which are requested from the Customer are necessary for the processing of his order and the establishment of invoices, in particular.

This data may be communicated to any partners of the Seller in charge of the execution, processing, management and payment of orders.

The processing of information communicated through the freevibes.us website has been declared to the CNIL.

The Customer has, in accordance with national and European regulations in force, a permanent right of access, modification, correction and opposition regarding the information concerning him.

This right can be exercised under the conditions and according to the terms and conditions defined on the website freevibes.us.



ARTICLE 10 - Intellectual property

The content of the freevibes.us website is the property of the Seller and its partners and is protected by French and international laws on intellectual property.

Any total or partial reproduction of this content is strictly prohibited and is likely to constitute an infringement.

In addition, the Seller remains the owner of all intellectual property rights on the photographs, presentations, studies, drawings, models, prototypes, etc., made (even at the Customer's request) for the purpose of providing the Services to the Customer.

The Customer shall therefore refrain from any reproduction or use of said studies, drawings, models, models and prototypes, etc., without the Vendor's express, prior written authorization, which may be subject to a financial consideration.

ARTICLE 11 - Unpredictability

The Parties have agreed, within the framework of the provisions of Article 1195 of the Civil Code, that a change in the economic, material or financial circumstances surrounding the conclusion of a transaction for the sale of the Seller's products subject to these General Terms and Conditions of Sale and resulting in an increase in the price shall be fully assumed by the Customer even if these risks would make the performance of its obligations excessively onerous for the Customer, all other risks being assumed by the other Party.

However, if the change of circumstances unforeseeable at the time of the conclusion of the contract is definitive or lasts more than one month, the present contract will be purely and simply resolved according to the terms defined in the article "Resolution for Unforeseeability".



ARTICLE 12 - Compulsory execution in kind

In the event of a default by either Party in the performance of its obligations, the Party in default shall have the right to request the compulsory performance in kind of its obligations hereunder. Notwithstanding the provisions of Article 1221 of the Civil Code, the creditor of the obligation may pursue such forced performance after a simple formal notice, addressed to the debtor of the obligation by registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt, has remained unsuccessful, whatever the circumstances and even if there is a manifest disproportion between its cost for the debtor and its interest for the creditor.

It is recalled that in the event of failure by either Party to perform its obligations, the Party which is the victim of the default may, in accordance with the provisions of Article 1222 of the Civil Code, 10 days after the sending of a formal notice to perform which has remained unsuccessful, have the obligation itself performed by a third party, at the defaulting Party's expense, provided that the cost is reasonable and in accordance with market practice, without the need for judicial authorization, it being understood that the defaulting Party may also, at its option, request in court that the defaulting Party advance the sums necessary for such enforcement.

 

ARTICLE 13 - Exception of non-performance

It is recalled that pursuant to Article 1219 of the Civil Code, each Party may refuse to perform its obligation, even though it is due, if the other Party does not perform its obligation and if this non-performance is sufficiently serious, that is to say, likely to call into question the continuation of the contract or to fundamentally upset its economic equilibrium. The suspension of performance shall take effect immediately upon receipt by the defaulting Party of the default notification sent to it for this purpose by the Party suffering from the default indicating the intention to apply the plea of non-performance as long as the defaulting Party has not remedied the default noted, served by registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt or on any other durable written medium allowing proof of dispatch.

This plea of non-performance may also be used as a preventive measure, in accordance with the provisions of Article 1220 of the Civil Code, if it is clear that one of the Parties will not perform its obligations on the due date and that the consequences of such non-performance are sufficiently serious for the Party that is the victim of the default.

This option is used at the risk and peril of the Party taking the initiative.

Suspension of performance shall take effect immediately upon receipt by the Party presumed to be in default of notification of the intention to apply the plea of preventive non-performance until the Party presumed to be in default has performed the obligation in respect of which a future default is manifest, served by registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt or on any other durable written medium capable of providing proof of dispatch.

If the impediment is definitive or continues beyond 30 days, the present agreement shall be purely and simply resolved in accordance with the terms and conditions set out in the article Resolution for failure of a Party to meet its obligations.



ARTICLE 14 - Force majeure

The Parties may not be held liable if the non-execution or delay in the execution of any of their obligations, as described herein, results from a case of force majeure, as defined in Article 1218 of the Civil Code.

The party observing the event shall immediately inform the other party of its inability to perform and justify its inability to perform to the latter. The suspension of the obligations can in no case be a cause of responsibility for non-performance of the obligation in question, nor induce the payment of damages or late penalties.

The performance of the obligation is suspended for the duration of the force majeure if it is temporary and does not exceed a period of 30 days.

Consequently, as soon as the cause of the suspension of their mutual obligations disappears, the parties shall make every effort to resume normal performance of their contractual obligations as soon as possible. To this end, the prevented party shall notify the other party of the resumption of its obligation by registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt or any extrajudicial act. If the impediment is definitive or exceeds a period of 30 days, the present contract will be purely and simply resolved according to the terms defined in the article "Resolution for force majeure".

During this suspension, the parties agree that the costs generated by the situation will be borne by the party prevented.

 

ARTICLE 15 - Resolution of the contract

15-1- Resolution for contingency

Rescission for impossibility of performance of an obligation that has become excessively onerous may, notwithstanding the clause Rescission for failure of a party to fulfil its obligations set out below, only take place 10 days after the sending of a formal notice declaring the intention to apply this clause notified by registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt or any extrajudicial act.

15-2 - Resolution for non-performance of a sufficiently serious obligation

The Party that is the victim of the default may, notwithstanding the clause Resolution for failure of a Party to comply with its obligations set out below, in the event of sufficiently serious non-performance of any of the obligations incumbent on the other Party, notify the defaulting Party by registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt, of the faulty resolution of the present agreement, 10 days after the sending of a formal notice to perform that has remained unsuccessful, in application of the provisions of Article 1224 of the Civil Code.

15-3 - Resolution for force majeure

It is expressly agreed that the parties may terminate this contract by operation of law, without notice or formality.

15-4 - Provisions common to cases of termination

It is expressly agreed between the Parties that the debtor of an obligation to pay under the terms of this agreement shall be validly put in default by the mere exigibility of the obligation, in accordance with the provisions of Article 1344 of the Civil Code.

Since the services exchanged between the Parties from the conclusion of the contract until its termination can only be useful if they are fully performed, they shall be fully refunded.

The present General Terms and Conditions of Sale and the operations arising therefrom are governed and subject to French law.

The present General Terms and Conditions of Sale are written in English.

ARTICLE 17 - Disputes

The Customer is informed that he may in any event resort to conventional mediation, in particular with the Commission de la médiation de la consommation (C. consom. art. L 612-1) or with the existing sectoral mediation bodies, whose references are listed on the freevibes.us website, or to any alternative means of dispute resolution (e.g. conciliation) in the event of a dispute.
