Article 7: Updating models and sizes

 

Zero drop design is more complex than standard design. Ecojolie is working on extending the sizes of its Patterns and prefers to add sizes as we go along, in order to offer new models to our Customers. Some patterns are not feasible in all sizes: this is due to the complexity of obtaining 100% efficient pattern placement. 

Ecojolie may modify its Products or make updates as it works.

 

 

Article 8: Level of difficulty

 

The Ecojolie patterns are classified and symbolized by 3 levels of difficulty:

• For beginners,

They are denominated in euros (€ EUR) and calculated exclusive of tax (VAT not applicable, article 293 B of the French General Tax Code).

In particular, the Vendor reserves the right to refuse to make a delivery or to honour an order from a purchaser who has not paid in full or in part for a previous order, or with whom a payment dispute is in progress. The seller has set up an order verification procedure to ensure that no one uses another person's bank details without their knowledge.

As part of this verification, the Customer may be asked to send the Vendor a copy of an identity document and proof of address by e-mail. The order will only be validated once the Vendor has received and checked the documents sent.

Should the Vendor fail to do so by the end of this additional period, the Customer is free to cancel the contract. The Customer must carry out these successive formalities by registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt, or in writing on another durable medium.

The Customer Account pages may be freely printed by the Customer holding the account in question, but do not constitute proof of any kind. They are for information purposes only, to ensure efficient management of the Customer's orders.

 

Each Customer is free to close his/her Account on the Site. To do so, they must send an e-mail to the Seller indicating that they wish to delete their Account. No data recovery will be possible.

 

The Vendor reserves the exclusive right to delete the Account of any Customer who has contravened these GCS (in particular, and without this example being exhaustive, where the Customer has knowingly provided incorrect information when registering and setting up his personal space) or any Account which has been inactive for at least one year. Such deletion shall not constitute a loss for the Customer, who shall not be entitled to claim any compensation as a result.

 

 

Article 28: Mediation and competent court

 

Any dispute relating to the interpretation and execution of these general terms and conditions of sale is subject to French law in the French language, to the exclusion of the provisions of the Vienna Convention. This applies to both substantive and formal rules. In the event of a dispute or claim, the Customer shall first contact the Vendor in order to reach an amicable solution.

 

The Vendor cannot be held responsible for non-compliance with laws or legal provisions in force in countries other than France. The Vendor's liability is limited to the amount of the Product concerned by the dispute.

 

In the event of a disagreement with the Seller and after having tried to reach an amicable solution with the Seller, here is a link to the European platform for online dispute resolution (RLL): https://entreprendre.service-public.fr/vosdroits/R48100

 

Failing amicable resolution, the dispute will be brought before the courts of Laval (12 Allée de la Chartrie 53004 Laval).
